IS veterans will remember. Every month, when sales topic started, almost every dude had a BME. Today, almost everyone has a WME.

I send link to my portfolio, but it's just vectors. I got no feedback yet. Does anyone know if they will work with vectors?

Would be great if former Istock staff members come here and put some inside information for our amusement.

Any admins who want to work actively with the community will need professional training to learn how to communicate effectively via social media. Especially because a very large part of the community does not have English as a first language.
So, maybe Istockphoto staff training is conducted in North Korea right now. Less sarcasm, threats and jokes might be a good start for new Forums.

Is there a reason that admins are allowed in this forum? Couldn't membership be controlled so that we don't have to worry about them butting in here too?
If you believe in freedom of speech, then they should be allowed to be here. And you have your opportunity to voice your opinion to them in neutral territory. Relish it, imo.
I inferred from Lobo's responses (and I certainly could be wrong) that if they want to can you they will. And whatever you post, they read. I almost felt like he was threatening us to some degree to watch what we say in here too.
Me too.
Another one here.

It's remarkably easy for support tickets to be 'disappeared'.
In any case, why bother?
it's also one of iStock's many 'glorious ironies' that mods so often say to contact CR, who not only give different answers depending on who answers your query, and too often just seem to 'make things up', but also too often refer us back to 'our forums, which are a marvellous resource'.
Ha - way to avoid answering a question on all sides.
Mail to CR = /dev/null

Wow. More one IS staff here. When Lobo itself arrives?

I'll just leave this here...
You're cheering up a bunch of us with your talented (if black) humor. Even if it's wasted on them, it's not wasted on us 
And I hope you don't mind, but I shared a link to those with a FB group (i.e. it's not public). PM me if you want me to remove the links
What FB group? Can i be included?

So sad read all this sort of bad things coming from Istock. I remember when i was accepted as part of community, year 2006. Istock was a great place, people really friendly and colaborative. Everything was destroyed since Getty put his hands over our beloved place.
Sorry my english, but I think i gave my message.

I missed something like "We're sorry about logos. It's all our fault". Ok, logo program is a IS zombie section almost since was started, but lots of users believed in the program and used their time to create content.

By the way, JJRD is still identified as admin?

IS lowest points are consistent with my worst sales period.

And everything remains the same blah, blah, blah... Bortonia speaking now.
OK guys, seriously, enough is enough.
We're happy to allow sales threads by file type, but ONLY if they remain on topic. But when it comes to the vector sales threads, it seems like were continually having to reign in the discussions. Its getting out of hand.
This thread is to discuss your January sales. It is not here for you to pounce on others' advice, whine about longstanding inspection policies, or complain about Best Match.
Please consider this the final warning: If this thread goes off topic again, we're going to have to shut it down. This means youll have to rely on the Main Discussion sales thread from here on in.
To bring this thread back on track, I would like to say that I'm one of those who is scared to post amongst all the negativity in these threads in case it seems like bragging. But here goes. In terms of numbers my earnings were up almost 10% over last January, with downloads down by under 15%. I'm OK with the drop in downloads because the sales increase was a big one for me.
I don't upload as much as I'd like, but I have made a conscious effort to try new styles and to look into subjects that are missing here on iStock. The more variety I can get in terms of subject matter and style, the more likely I think I am to hit on something that will sell. Maybe this won't work for everyone but for me, it was worth a shot and it looks like it's paid off. Plus I like being able to claim niches, and there are an awful lot of them begging to be filled.

The moderators name is, and I quote, "Pink Cotton Candy"
Probably all we need to know really.
I think she normally is responsible for organising the Pimping Picture of the week, either that or something equally banal.
I personally do not blame her. She's a good person and is serving his sad role as IS moderator. She misplaced some sentences, is true.

Countdown to some moderator shutdown topic. I'm surprised that is still alive.
247
« on: February 02, 2012, 06:47 »
...Guess I'll go try out some new styles and colors
You should, Cheryl. Don't you know that your falling earnings are your fault, not istock's?
Gotta love how they're passing the blame on to the contributors now. It's unfortunate, but not surprising.
"I encourage you all to look at your portfolio and branch out from styles and colors that used to sell well."My favorite quote. It's all our fault.

People complaining about low vector sales and some IS moderator appears with the same old bla, bla, bla....
Yes, sales are TERRIBLE LOW. Vectors doesn't sell like old times.
"hi all - allow me to make just a few comments about this thread: B*tching doesn't work. If you'd like to share your numbers, by all means, it helps everyone with some figures. Without reference, nobody knows what "down $1,000" means exactly - compared to what? $20,000 or $1,100? Percentages work much better. Huge difference in meaning, right?
What is "Worse than December?" was December your BME? Are we expected to remember what you said in December? we have no clue.
If you are just looking to complain about sales, this isn't the best place for it. It's not constructive and you must realize that not everyone posts their numbers. I think the people who have done well or stayed steady might shy away because they don't want to stick it in your faces. I would love to see you building each other up in some way than defeating yourselves by your frustrations.
I'm a small buyer, but I buy more vectors than photos and I feel bad that some of you are experiencing poor sales or aren't receiving the growth you had hoped. I truly value your contributions. I encourage you all to look at your portfolio and branch out from styles and colors that used to sell well.
I wish you all the best. Hang in there! Maybe in the future, you can all make new posts in the vector forums with new ideas, requests for assistance, etc. so the community can get back and everyone can win."

Anonymous targetting IS too?
Perhaps our files were in Megaupload servers. OH, WAIT...

December will have the lowest downloads for me since May 2004, the month after I joined iStock. Only one zero sales day so far this month, though.
December was my worst moth ever. Big, very big drop from november.
