Title: thephotostorage.com shutting down
Post by: helix7 on March 12, 2010, 17:09

Not one that many people will even notice, but the microstock site thephotostorage.com is closing, as of 3/21.

Wonder if they'll pay out my lifetime earnings of $0.30. ;)

I just got the e-mail too..

It was about time. I've been there for ages and never sold a single file. I got around US$22 from their "PPP" promotion but got the payout a while back.

What's that? June 2007 to April 2010, beats the two years and out, maybe I'll have to revise that to 2 1/2 years and out?  ;D

Special promotion 40% commission for images uploaded before 8/31/07 and expires 8/31/08.

What's the 2010 list looking like so far?

Zymmetrical
Yay
StockXpert
ThePhotoStorage

Did I miss any?

Zymm is dead, TPS is dead and StockXpert is dead.  Is Yay officially dead?  Are Veer, Vivozoom and FeaturePics far behind?

Yay isn't dead- but if you're not signed up for the 3rd party sales you're probably not making anything. I just got my quarterly payout from them.
