I never ignore anyone automatically.  It's much more fun to ignore optionally.

Never say never

I'm never posting again.

How about some emotion?

Like "I'm never * posting again"?

I put him on ignore again.

He did you a favor by reporting an image sleuth site.

Just for you, Paulie. No, no one has ever actually complained about me not putting the quoter in before. I thought most people read the whole thread. You could put me on ignore! 

Too bad this thread has been derailed by the bulls*it. It's pretty important.

I really prefer not to ignore people. I would rather try to work with reasonable people. But you responded exactly as I figured you would.

I never ignored you by the way. Interesting viewpoints regularly.

Likewise, I never ignore anyone.  Forums get boring when all the discussion is between like-minded people.

So, on this website we have 793 pages, and every page contains 10 posts. If you click on "read more" link below any post you will see that every post contains 100-200, and sometimes more pictures packed in .rar files. That's total of more that 1 100 000 images stolen from stock sites. I wander how many buyers use websites like this instead of buying our images. It's strange that someone is able to steal more than 1000 000 unnoticed...

i can admit i'm 50% troll, but i'm also 50% non-troll so either people deal with it
or they better ban me right away.

ignoring people is for guys who have no sense of humour and take the internet
way too seriously.

if we were to meet face to face we would probably be all friends, but let's face it
this is the internet and none of us know each other in the real life, we're not real
friends, we don't even live in the same continent nor we speak natively the same
language, the only thing we have in common is we're stock photographers.

take forums with a grain of salt !

wow, look at this :

http://www.downarchive.com/graphics/graphic-others/94729-istockphoto-royal-junk-collection.html


it's a 1.5GB pack (!!) split in a few 200MB .rar files

they also have a HUGE forum : http://www.downarchive.com/forums/

Have you informed CE about this?

Another reason sub sites are garbage is they allow scum to stockpile like this.  I'm sure most of the work found in these places is taken from subscription sites.  Otherwise why would people spend real money on dl'ing tons of payg just to give it away to strangers on the net?

So mine was on page 12 and it's gone now, too. Either they have shifted things around, which will mean going through more pages, or they are down. But yesterday when I checked there were 790 pages, today 793. I hope the stock sites are keeping tabs, too.

With all the new sites macrosaur posted today, we sure have our work cut out for us.

When I browsed through the first 25 pages yesterday, there were packs with Getty, Comstock, and other watermarks showing. I don't think the thieves are particularly discriminatory.

Edit: yeah, the site is loading really slow today. Maybe all the contributors checking for their work are overloading the servers.
