Title: 10 Questions NOT to ask
Post by: Goofy on August 21, 2014, 09:43
10 Questions not to ask the MSG Folks- a little humor for our busy day  8)

1.   How much do you make
2.   Can I see your portfolio
3.   Should I join the ****
4.   Should I be exclusive to iStock
5.   What do you think of my images
6.   Should I consider entering the MS business
7.   Is there a future in this business
8.   Should I quit my full time day job
9.   Is it worth submitting to Crestock
10.   Am I the only one doing bad

Which says more about the forums than the questions.

I'd much rather see a list of important topics to be discussed.  Try to push this site towards professionalism and relevence instead of away from it.

I'd also add: Is Symbiostock dead?

There are lots of productive issues and topics that should be discussed.  Look at this forum now, I'm sure you've noticed that many full time and professional artists don't come here at all and most of the ones that do are only in here very infrequently.  Every week it seems that there are less and less posts by them.  We've been told content is king, which I think is true.  Better content is needed here or this trend is going to keep on continuing until nobody relevant is left, it's no wonder that the kinds of topics outlined in this list are the ones that seem to dominate.  I think it would be much better to spend time discussing how to affect change rather than complaining about how things are.  If we aren't willing to change then what we've seen happening at the stock sites and on this forum is just going to keep on going.

Start your own thread with your ideas and thoughts for discussion.
This is the Off-topic forum, after all.
Or maybe one per idea, as sometimes if too many ideas are presented on one thread, stuff gets 'lost'.

Ok here's the experiment, let's see if there are any serious contributors left here?  http://www.microstockgroup.com/general-stock-discussion/what-are-the-industry-wide-problems-and-what-sollutions-do-you-think-there-are/new/#new (http://www.microstockgroup.com/general-stock-discussion/what-are-the-industry-wide-problems-and-what-sollutions-do-you-think-there-are/new/#new)

Well I won't be too surprised.  I think most of the full timers and professionals have left this site already.

Or keep changing names to hide their past? Or I like to just lurk.

Yep. Something or other to do with his "Vote Goofy off the MSG Ship".
