I found this to be an interesting read on the fourm's of ModelMayhem . It is a discussion in regards to onemodelplace and people sounding off on why they dislike then and/or like them. I downloaded the entire text forum in to a single PDF document before the thread was locked. You can view it http://www.shadowunit.com/documents/goodbye_OMP.pdf
or see the original: http://www.modelmayhem.com/po.php?thread_id=315075

Thank you for providing the alternatives to onemodelplace.com. I truly understand when you say there is no recourse or appeal process when your profile is suspended. I could go into more details in the future, but I just wanted to log my complaint with your blog. I have had the opportunity to observe this clown (Brett of onemodelplace) in action. His appearance and personality kept me off guard to the unfair and ruthless person he really is. I was a published magazine photographer for many years before I got involved with onemodelplace. I made the mistake of attending cheesy onemodelplace events. All it took was one complaint from a beginner model, for Brett to delete my account at onemodelplace. The one complaint was the angle of my photos. How ridiculous. An amateur model has the nerve to tell a seasoned professional from New York and Paris, how to do photos? onemodelplace models are all cheap dogs, anyway. This is what happens when you work with people below your level. The main issue is that the jealous Brett was looking for an excuse to dump me from the site. He wants all "his models" for himself.

*Note: I do not believe all the models are cheap dogs; as this is lumping all of them into one stereotype. There will be good and bad in every model portfolio site. It just comes with the territory. Same goes with photographers. But they do have to get started and places like onemodel modelmayhem are a vehicles to that end. I wish good luck to all the newbie models. And remember model portfolio sites are just a tool for marketing yourself; you still have to get out and do the leg work. Jobs just don't come to you!

Its official
Well its Official. Onemodelplace is going down hill....
What you are seeing is a Traffic History Graph for onemodelplace.com over a 3 year period. As you can see its a pretty steady drop downhill. If you see the sharp spike down in late 2005; that is when onemodelplace was down for over a week due to a hurricane in FL.
Onemodelplace.com has a traffic rank of: 11,687, where as one of its leading competitors, Modelmayhem.com has a traffic rank of: 3548 (lower is better!)
So... it doesn't look very good for our boys in FL. Sad to see you go guys!

Side note... If two thirds of your business goes away in two years, you need to take another look at your business model. I thought I would throw that out on the table.

Questions...
My question is this; if Brett Cramer is such a big time player in the modeling biz, why isn't he located and based where the business actually IS. Last I heard Ft Lauderdale wasn't the capital of the modeling industry. Also, he has no legitimate credentials and endorsements, just little contests and merchandising schemes. He is always quick to bully his members, but I have never heard his name mentioned amongst legitimate agencies or well established photographers, it's always little girls and guys with cameras who live in a world that consists of on dialogue; "TFP? NUDES? TFP?" ... I never even heard of that phrase until I fell into OMP, if he likes acronyms so much, perhaps instead of OMP, it should be called OMP/TFP or something of that nature.
I also started getting responses for entities who signed their missives as "employee # 35" and stupid shit like that, wouldn't even use a name, so you never knew who you were dealing with, Dear Employee # 35. It was stupid....
It is obvious that Brett gets off on flexing his authority and power by "kicking off" legitimate members, yet, the perverts with camera's run amuck with their continuous banter of "TFP? NUDES? TFP?". We got so many of those requests, that we went private. Check this out, we had approximately 40 models, all with OMP profiles, and ALL linked to us for approximately 4 years. In four years, NOT ONE legitimate work offer for over 40 models in four years. You seen my girls?? The hottest models around, and NOT ONE legitimate offer, it was always contingent on "TFP? NUDES? TFP?""
The other thing, they have made some photographers popular by featuring them time and time again. One comes to mind, a guy in some XXXXXXX County location, we'll call him , XXXX XXXXX, the guy is a little weasel, has NO concept of the business, tends to concentrate on "meeting girls?" and now after a few years, his work is decent, but, still I am not having multiple orgasms. Yet they act as if he is the KING of photographers. One Model Place is nothing more than a dog and pony show. It's all mirrors and smoke, as Brett continues the facade that he is somehow affiliated with the modeling industry, when in reality, he is nothing more than a slimy little rat bastard who bully's the members and then pounds his chest with both fists.
you getti'em John, kick some ass!

hmmm.... all very good questions! But we all know the answer. Brett himself is a GWC. It must be the only way he can pick up a female or male, whatever way he goes.

One Model Place Haters Unite!
" John,
I inadvertently stumbled across your website dedicated to hating One Model Place. I too am a One Model Place hater, basically kicked off and blocked for no reason what so ever...
...their bogus attempts at being a legitimate player in the modeling industry...
...idiot Brett Cramer, who seems to focus mainly on awarding 'showcase' status to any pic that shows a bare breast, regardless of the quality of the actual image...
...Nobody takes OMP seriously.... except the perverts with cameras and the wanna-be models... but, seriously, I really don't know of anyone who has prospered or gained anything by being associated with OMP.
T.T.
"
**Note**
T.T. asked me not to post this at first, but said it was OK, if I omitted sections, so brett wouldn't bad mouth this person. It seems they can not only bully you around on while on the site, but afterwards too.
Peace
