And what is your marketing plan?Post messages at the Microstockgroup.
I heard that Snap Village was seriously looking at acquiring this startup.Actually they are more interested in the incredible technological skills of setting up FTP, and the know-how about Windows since SV still runs on DOS 2.0 and the watermarking is done by a Commodore 64.
Look at the image numbers 64 and 75 - mine is clearly first.
And I'm reporting you for using "sexy", "teen," "america," "internet," and "government" in your keywords.Better keep your info updated. After Monica Lewinsky, the ban on combining "government" and "sexy" in the keywords of one shot has been lifted.
And just in case the domain name is taken, how about "Gutterstock?"Some domains are already taken, like SuckerStock, NightmaresTime, CrapHamlet, iStuckPhoto, FeedmePics, CantStockPhoto, Fophobia, TinyStockPhoto, Albummer, Zymystical, LostPhotos, PanzerMedia, 123Royalties4me and UnluckyGulliver (the self-proclaimed giant that was tamed by market dwarfs).

Hey, can I get a free tee-shirt???
When do we get a raise?We will raise the bar for quality like CanStockPhoto. Happy?
If I post 239 threads on your contributor-only forum showing everyone my "cakes and sweets" will the sales magically go through the roof for my images that so far haven't had any sales for the 3 years they've been online?

From now on we will also include only the last 10 keywords in the search engine, and only those longer than 8 characters.
All landscape photos should be landscape (H) and all portraits portrait (V).
Horizons should be horizontal, give or take 2.69 pixels.
In case of married male models, a mother-in-law release should be uploaded too. In case of sexy girls, make sure her telephone number is very clear and in print. ;D

You're too cheap! What about this one ([url]http://www.cafepress.com/ishootpeople[/url])?
I uploaded my vast collection of Blue Ocean Images (all 10,000 of them) and guess what ,all rejected on copyright issues. I didn't know that images of the ocean where copyrighted. Could someone please help me with this? Is there a link to get more information? and if is true what can I do with all this water?

People taking time to upload elsewhere will be disadvantaged while others who don't go anywhere else in the net would be in the best match. That work also for the designers each year taking by the designers log on on the site will making them having a price reduction.
plus photogs have to pay for bandwidth and pay per view if a file is clicked and not downloaded. (now there's a new way of looking at pay-per-view)
I think Exclusivity should require that contributors download a monitoring program that crashes their system if they try to visit any other site on the web. (I don't think this will phase Windows users as we're used to it but it will drive Mac users crazy.)
For a bonus you could give this same "program" to your customers as a gift. Sales would skyrocket.
Minimum pay-out is $1000, if any gets near that I will probably rise it again - its a great way of financing a business.
Don't we already have a bunch of sites just like this?
Acceptable file formats: .cryn (.cryn = crayon)
One of your lemurs just rejected my image of a goldfish shaking hands with a businessman. The ridiculous reason? Too blue! Are you kidding me? This photo is straight out of the camera! I used a cooling filter on my lens, and used CS2 to remove all reds and greens. That's all! I didn't add any blue! You guys are turning into istock with your ridiculous over-blue rejections.
