PurplePort is a much better site than Model Mayhem.

It is well designed and operated professionally.

Its only flaw is that its US membership is small, albeit growing.

I expect that when this site achieves a large US membership that Model Mayhem will pass into the dustbin of passe websites.

At one time One Model Place (OMP) was THE place where models and photographers networked.

It was displaced by Model Mayhem (MM) which was easier to use.

Pity.

The moderators at OMP were reasonable creatures unlike the sub-human pigs at Model Mayhem.

Maybe the site will come back.

But I doubt it.

Model Mayhem (MM) is dead.

Most of the new members are retouchers who clog up friend requests. (Apparently taking one course in Photoshop makes you an artist.)

The remainder are "models" and "photographers" who submit as their portfolios a gaggle of color balance challenged images.

Add to this a self-serving clique who run the site like a North Korean Prison camp with all of the grace of a brain damaged guard at a Stalinist Gulag and you have a dead site.

Is there any hope?

Yes.

Institute a system where the members evaluate the Moderators for politeness, competence and honesty.

Will this happen?

No.

The Site is Dead but is Too Stupid to Know it!
