Title: Have you noticed....usstockphoto.com

After leaf's recent thread on site policy, I want to tone this down a little, so just for info, if you search for "fotolia", or "shutterstock" on this site, you will come up with 476 hits.  usstockphoto.com started with a really user friendly format with fast reviews, but it seems the lights on, but nobody's home.

They definitely came off the track. Went down for weeks with no info, then back with a lot of the site broken.Before and after the site was completely down, the one part of the site that kept working was the ability to collect credit card info. All I'm gonna say.

 i wasn't impresed by the layout or manner of business.  There are enough sites to keep me busy, i don't need to to add another that doesn't seem to be serious.

From memory, when a photog asked for their photos to be removed and they weren't, they replaced the description with please buy this photo from fotolia or shutterstock.

If they are still up, it definately means they forgot to turn the lights out when they left the building!!

do a search for fotolia, or any of the other stock sites and you will see quite a few images.
