Gday all,
I was wondering if anyone thought that 10 days between photosets was a bit too long? Who would cough up a few extra bucks a month to shorten this gap? |

Not me. Just ended a membership for the sole reason that the updates were so less. _________________ To die for... |

Hey, maybe I'm easy to please, but I have no complaint. I am sure that it is not easy as it seems to just turn around the photosets faster. There is a lot of work, i imagine, to putting out these photosets. Alley has told us how busy she is, and I am glad and a little surprised that the site is updated almost daily. I go for quality not quantity. And if there were new photosets everyday, where is the anticipation?

For me, her updates are fine with me.
Since I have memberships with several other websites, their different updates schedules have galleries or videos available almost everyday of the week. This variety keep me from concentrating on any one site at a time
Every website is different.
Model A updates a new gallery every tuesday...
Model B updates 4 galleries & 2 videos in an unpredictable pattern within a month...
Model C updates parts of different galleries (gallery 1-part 1, gallery 3-part 2, etc...) within a month...
Alley's update schedules is one of the most steady I have come across.
Cordially,
YDB |

I'm very happy with all of the updates on the web site and the time it takes to put them up, so I don't think anything should be changed. |

No takers so far . Ive got to say Im a bit .What is it a money thing?If it is whats everybodies limit? If Alley's accountant rang her and said "look- your gunna have to jack up your subscriptions 5 bucks a month", who would leave ? I think these are all interesting and relevant membership questions.
As far as producing extra content is concerned, I dont think going thru the time and expense of doing a complete new photoshoot is required.I'd like to offer another suggestion for scrutiny. the average size of Alley's photosets lately is what ?,about 35? Take this up to 50,divide it two, three shoots a month and there's six photosets! I dont think the sets have to be divided into a "first half and second half" necessarily, I propose maybe a "take 1 and take 2"approach, each take being a full sequence of photo's but different to each other,different poses ,themes(fun,sexy) ,hair up/hair down, whatever.Who wouldnt pay extra for that? Crikey we're only up for $10 a month at the moment. You could charge me double for that ,I wouldnt even flinch.
I could be way off the mark. Im not a model,photographer or webmaster.I just dig Alley and her work, I had to ask.  |

FYI. I wasn't talking about Alley's website in my previous post. I am not a member of Alley's. Maybe some of you misunderstood, I apologize.
Take care. _________________ To die for... |

One reason why I have stopped subscribing to OTHER models sites is because they do not update on a regular basis. Alley is the only Internet model that updates her site consistently. Three updates a month is awesome and more often than any other model that I have seen. The worst I have joined is Alpha models. Some of their models such as Tracy Bingham NEVER updates her part of the Alpha Models site.
Alley takes good care of her fans and her real fans appreciate her. That’s not say that I would not mind some changes such as more video and interviews. |

Good to hear that Alley is treating her fans good.
I was just disappointed, that if a model has a members website with also a diary section, it must be updated regulary in my opinion. If you see that there is a gap of 3 or more weeks between diary entries, why have a section like it. Same with photo shoots and movies updates. I think at least once a week should be a standard, for a 25 USD members website. If a website isn't updated for a month, I think we should get a months membership for free! Also, I think they rely on the extra websites you get with such a membership. But, in my case, if you join a models website, than you want to see that model, not the ones you get of other websites, right?
Again... just me 2 cents here... Take care. _________________ To die for... |

400 views and nobody prepared to pony up.What a pack of tight arses! Iam prepared to pay more for more. Alley's a goddess but she's not immortal. Im sure she has future plans , goals and ambitions. These have to be funded.  |

Dally, maybe first you should ask Alley if she is able or willing to go for your proposal.
Your question is like if I asked " hey, would everyone pay extra to have Dally stand on his head for a month?". I don't have the means to acomplish this so it is kind of an irrelevant question.
However, even though I am very satisfied with the content of the site, I am sure if more was offered for an additional charge I would cough up the bucks. Nobody likes to answer if this, and this, along with this happens questions. So that is probably why you have not received many "takers".

1-Im sure she could if she wanted too.
2-She probably loves us too much.
3-Bandwidth is cheap in LA.
4-She's doing community service, keeping pervs like us online and off the streets.
5-Has a bus load of suger daddies. --scratch that--( can't bare the thought of her being in Hefner's embrace)
If she decides to opt for 1 - I'll mumble something, but break my piggybank and dole out the mulah.
More than likely, it's all about #2.  _________________ In a perfect world, you get all Alley, all the time. |

I emailed Alley and Co. a couple of years ago asking about posting one set a week. The reply was pretty much saying it wasn't going to happen. I can't remember the exact reason why, but I do remember them saying, "nope."
I also asked about the declining photo count per set and was told that they preferred quality over quantity. I accepted that answer, but I still didn't understand 50+ quality photos on average before compared to today's 30 quality photos on average per set.
But you know what...the AB Nation always wants more Alley...more, more, more...gimme, gimme, gimme...seems there's never enough to quench that thirst... _________________ Down South ~ "The AB Nation will be there when you do."

I would really like one set a week, but do I NEED more? probably not because as others have said the anticipation is great. Also, look at the number on the new photos: nearly 11,000. From what i can tell they are pretty much chronological. If I'm right, 11,000 is pretty good, not to mention all the additional photos you have from playboy.
So, basically, the more Alley the better, but some is always better than none.

What I love about the way this site is set up is the surprise of something new close to every day. Wake up in the morning and check, oh! A new video! Or a webcam chat tonight! Or, best of all, a new set of pics! It's just a little excitement every day. If I knew when all the new stuff was heading in, it probably wouldn't be as much fun. _________________ -crapout |

Danie ,
I didn't put this question directly to Alley because of a few reasons,
- she hasn't responded to similar enquiries in here in the past,
- by posting this on the board she will probably read it anyway, so effectively I/we are asking her,
- she hasn't acknowledged anything Ive posted in here since 4/1. That's OK ,it's her perogative .
I'm a self-employed professional. I've acquired skills and abilities that I apply to different applications to source a living. How and where I apply my time is determined by how lucrative something is,be it promotional,social,developmental, spiritual, but primarily financial. It's my profession. Im not a model, but I think Alley's profession is somewhat parallel to mine, It's part of her appeal for me. I thought if we as members could offer more, she might be able to do the same.I thought I might be also able to inspire some efficient ideas from members who'd like to enhance their experience.
My inspiration? Alley is an indulgence, a little reward for my current honest ,hardworking lifestyle. |
