Hi void!
The reason I posted it here first is because it was more in response to others being posted and specifically to one site using it as a reason to go exclusive.
Since StockXpert doesn't ask for exclusivity at all, I just wanted to let people know that these types of sale can happen anywhere, and if anything, it's a reason to diversify as much as possible.
The reason I posted it two days later on StockXpert is because I wanted to make sure I presented it in a way that didn't simply overhype the situation. I think it would have been irresponsible for me to present it in a way that gave contributors the impression that they should definitely begin to expect more of these or that they should change what they submit in order to land one of these.
I simply wanted to give it more thought about what it really means to StockXpert and the microstock industry overall.
You guys know me by now. This is how I am, for better or for worse.
I spoke for myself when I said I didn't really remember the image. I wasn't directly involved with the sale and I looked at it briefly before it was taken down. Like I said it was a floralesque grunge illustration. More of a quasi-abstract background image.
Sorry if my handling of the situation was offensive to you in some way. It was our first one like this.
