Title: Is Crestock gone?
Post by: Harvepino on May 21, 2014, 01:14
crestock.com

This domain was registered on behalf of a client by EuroDNS, but has now expired.  ???

Does it mean, they're gone?

So Clipcanvas, Stockfuel, and now Crestock? Does this mean the DPC effect is settling in? Are we now seeing the survival of the fittest? I dont think its bad to narrow down the number of agencies, but buyers will probably go to DPC first now because its so cheap and low entry level to get images there.

Interesting, still not working for me. How is that possible?

I get the same thing! No great loss, was the first agency I ever left! How do they even feature in the poll for people!?

I have never accessed crestock before. Today was the first time and it worked.

If you mean www.crestock.com (http://www.crestock.com) it doesn't work in Poland (two different distant computers). Very weird.

I just tried and got the message that it has expired (I am in the US).  I had a sale from them earlier this month so they were still in it as of a couple of weeks ago.  Never did reach payout and now I guess I'll never get my 20 bucks from them - glad I stopped uploading there several years ago.

OMG!
tried one minute ago and..puff...crestock disappeared.
I hope it's some sort of a technical problem.

They were still active on Twitter as of 2 days ago. Seems weird that they'd have even been bothering promoting anything 2 days ago if they were planning on shutting down.

I think more likely, it's just an issue of an error or a missed payment on their domain name. In either case hopefully it's sorted out soon.

If they are shutting down, though, I wish I would have put in a payment request. Not sure how much I had sitting in there. Maybe $50 or so.

I just got the same screen.  Was real near a payout.  Hope they are not kaput.

Same for me too. I was closing in on a payout.

It worked for me yesterday, but not today. However, http://www.downforeveryoneorjustme.com/crestock.com (http://www.downforeveryoneorjustme.com/crestock.com) show it up. I assume, they let their domain expire and now it has to propogate through all the DNS servers again - possibly with different servers or IP addresses. As other said, no great loss, but also close to a payout which I was hoping to get so I would never need to go there again

I have never typed their URL into my ipad until today when I saw this thread. It came up fine. I am not a contributor there.

Edit.....none of the images come up, however. The titles are there but no images when you click on them. Just has that little camera symbol that shows up when the link is dead.

Back up for me too.  What a relief!  I may still get to that payout if I can now get some sales!  ;D

How can something be gone when it never existed (especially sales)  ::)

Agree. This is the agency where my photos even after 6 months still were on pending status some years ago.  Crestock - what Crestock?
Title: Re: Is Crestock gone?

for me crestock = $250/year, not a big deal, but better than nothing :)

Yep, it looks like the site is back on here as well.  :)
Title: Re: Is Crestock gone?

funny, pretty sure I deleted my account there months ago, and yet it's still there with 65 images.

Can't access on IE, Firefox or Chrome - anyone else?

FTP not working also "Could not connect to server".

I can't access it now, and it was down yesterday too.

Don'tcha cringe when you see the word "cheap" on the front page?

Works fine in los Angeles. Useless site though.

Post by: sharpshot on May 29, 2014, 02:13
Its one of the sites that I really wouldn't mind if it had closed.  There's far too many low earning sites, takes too much time to upload to all of them.

I just had a $0.60 month at Crestock. I've never had a month that bad anywhere, ever. Under a buck. Unreal.

I'm calling it. Time of death on Crestock, June 30, 2014. It's over for this one.

So would you consider loading up to them for a buck? My lowest limit is 5 pounds (SignElements) and they are easy to upload to... 8)
