FAA and the other POD sites are not stock however most of us are using them to sell our stock photos and as a result most of us are interested in how others are doing there. Stocksy isn't microstock and Alamy is midstock but we are all interested in how they are doing and they have been added to the "microstock" poll results.
IMHO I think the best way not to muddy the waters here would be to add FAA, Zazzle, redbubble, and Cafepress to the poll results as separate entities so people don't throw in those earnings along with self-hosted and the like, which will skew results. Since the point of the poll and the accompanying monthly threads is to get a sense of how the outlets which we all use or are considering using to sell our work are doing, what's the harm in adding those outlets? Some of us are already mentioning them in the monthly threads, so why not add them to the Poll results?
I know the final decision is up to Leaf but why not give him some input here? Look forward to hearing people's thoughts.
With the holidays coming it might be encouraging to see the results! 8)

I'd be for that as well. I think the idea of keeping it separate is good too.

I disagree, I joined when It first showed up. what I saw were folks downloading Images they could have never taken. Then running it through some software and calling it there art. I wrote a letter, And closed my account as it got worse. Don't want any Part of that Type of business, The worst thing is, The owners don't care. They want your 30 Bucks. Sorry. Not a Fan. i've seen a ton of these POD's come and go over the years. But....Good Luck guys.
