Which will be a raise after reading some of the recent posts about shared sales on some minor sites.  ;D

This post might just be an insight into the future!

My speculation is that it will be Shutterstock who ultimately takes over 123rf. They did after all update 123rf and the BigStock interfaces on the same day ... "Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain"

Didn't getty acquire crestock LAST April 1st?  They have a history of this. lol

No, it was crestock acquiring istock last year or the year before. It was on crestock's front page for a while, and istock threatened to sue them.

No, it was Crestock aquiring Corbis in 08. You're playing with fire if you mess with Bill lol.

so it was a joke? I thought they spent all their money buying Corby, which would explain why they can't pay reviewers and us on time  :)

LOL, you know The Secret philosophy.... Attention flows where attention goes.  Somebody at Getty is going to wake up one one of these days and say "I've got a great idea!!!"  And it will be all our fault :)

LOL!  You are so right.
