it would be nice but it's not as easy as it sounds.  Where does Shutterstock fit in when they sell vectors, illustration and video.  How many of us separate our income into the three media types for Shutterstock?  iStock and many others all sell the three types as well.  Some sites only sell vectors and photos.

the poll would look very differently if it was illustration based as well but.  Perhaps one work around could be a simple question if people have primarily vectors, video or audio .. that way we would see at least a little different sort for the purely vector artists.

Like other suggested, you should post an image here with the keywords and see what type of suggestions you get.  You could also use a tool like the microstock keyword tool to help brainstorm ideas and see what words you could be missing.

- I moved the thread to the Dreamstime area and changed the title of the thread.

Yeah, it stops the board from showing up on the front page or if you visit the new posts page etc..  You can still see it if you view the board through the Forum link.

It's an exciting project Leo - glad the forum can help.

If anyone feels there are too many threads on this (or any other) subject, they can easily ignore that board by editing their profile preferences

removed one post which was a silly negative jab, one member to another.

@Lisa - you can now remove your vote and cast a new vote (you had asked to do so earlier)

I removed a few posts talking (negatively) about specific images.  This isn't the place to point fingers and laugh.

If you want to talk about specific images or portfolios, please post your own for critique.

No one was pointing fingers and laughing, a genuine question was asked why some image were on stocksy as they didnt seem to be the standard you would expect.

It seems that people accepted to Stocksy are a bit sensitive to critique. Maybe they should take it to heart and use it to their advantage.

nobody complained about the images that were posted here - there is just a general forum rule that individual images or portfolios shouldn't be posted to be critiqued (unless they are your own)

Is Stocksy just selling photos? No illustration?

They have some illustrations on the site, but not vectors.

I think perhaps this topic has been officially exhausted.  We aren't discussing or learning anything new - at least in regards to what this topic was originally about and I cringe every time it is brought to the top of the forum, wondering what attacks or conflicts have just started.  Thankfully the discussion has remained relatively civil (thanks everyone) but I don't feel we are going to accomplish more by rehashing things over and over. 

The horse is dead - let's stop beating it.

Looks like it's not image exclusive, as was speculated earlier. At least as far as I can tell. Some of Simon's stuff is the same stuff I've seen elsewhere, including the famous twitter bird.

It is image exclusive.  If someone has the same image elsewhere I'm guessing it is in the process of being removed (if it isn't gone already)

I received the e-mail this morning. Looks nice although at the top, on the left is the line "Use this area to offer a short preview of your email's content." Perhaps you want to put something in there or remove the placeholder text?

Sorry, I didn't see your last post in this thread.  I've fixed it now, thanks.

For future reference, is there a place you would post updates if the site is down for a while?  Facebook?  Tweets?

Yeah, I generally post updates on both twitter and the facebook page.  This morning I got it fixed right after I found out about the problem so I didn't make any big announcements.  If it would have taken more than a few minutes I would have posted an update.
