Today I was reading IS forums more thoroughly and found another interesting site:
http://apps.myersonphoto.com

It's not a scam, you can see it on the forums that many people use it. Especially for the "Race to gold/silver,..." statistics:

Basicly it tracks the number of downloads and uploads every member of the group had in a certain period of time (the author of the group can reset the counters). I created a MSG group which can be visible only to the people that are in it. So if you would like to compare yourself to other MSG members post your username in this topic (you can also PM me if you don't want to reveal in it public). ATM only me and Leaf (sry didn't remember any other user ) are in it, but hopefully more will join.

No, it's not a scam.  This is one of several very useful tools developed by Ethan Myerson prior to his becoming an admin at istock.

Hey Bittersweet...

Are you my any chance married to the famous "Bitter"? 

I'm in. Would like to see how other non-exclusives do at IS. Would you mind to explain what the categories mean ? Regards, Ljupco

P.S.

my IS screen name is ljupco

I'm also in.

My screen name is Cvandijk

I'll join.  My username is:-

topshotUK

I have added all of you (including bitter and nosaya )

Categories:
Baseline downloads: downloads since the comparison started
Current downloads: no need to explain this one
Delta downloads: how many downloads did a person have, since the comparison started
.... same for the uploads

Day: how many days has a user been in the group.

I'll restart the counter in a day or two so that stats will be based on the same number of days for everyone.

I'll try it,

I added you to the group. If you wish you can risk it and login and if not at least we'll see how many downloads do you get

Added all of you (I think). 10 people in the group atm. Leaf leads with 10 downloads

PS: Maybe I should just add everyone that has IS link setup in their profile. Do you think they would object?

I think it's okey to put everybody in the group who gave his/her link here on MSG. Otherwise they wouldn't have given it here if it was some kind of secret. And if someone has a problem with it, you can always remove that person.

Is user Bittersweet really Bitter on Istock? I thought I read in another post that he's not, but maybe I didn;t understand it right

Yeah, my thoughts exactly. Everyone can do their own data mining by going to your profile and writting down the numbers. I'll add people when I see them post some new replies on the forums, but if you want to be added immidiately reply to this topic.

EDIT: Leaf maybe you could make this topic sticky?

You can add me. IS username is "debljames"

I've had a request from one member that they not be added to the list.  I think perhaps it would be best to only add people that want to be added... or people who post in this thread that they want to be on the list.

Yeah, same here. I'll only add the ones from this topic.

Add me in as well. IS: janeff

Thanks!

Why not?

It  really makes no difference - anybody can create own list and add anybody, so if one shares IS login - it is available.
BTW, if you as paranoid as I am about sharing your passwords, you can create a dummy IS account, login to the site and create your own list

You can include me, as long as you don't laugh at my numbers.   

I'm madelaide.
