Stickam Front Page Player:

This player displays the most popular live users from a pool of users Stickam Staff selects.

To show up on the top page player You must be over 18, not private or have your public cam off, and be selected by Stickam Staff. If you want to be added to the list email aaron@stickam.com.

If you have lots of Viewers (both people in the room, and people watching the cam) you will move to the top. Occasionally we feature users and they will show by default at the top.

Daily Popular shows:
This list displays the daily top 8 users who were live the previous day (from 6am the previous day - 6am today PST). The list is ordered by those with the most viewers (both people in the room, and people watching the cam).
