New Istock Referral Program

Did I see that they name it PROGRAM?
in they CWS program means order...
I dont see any order or system.

I will skip my opinion for this turn.
It will to much hurt ex Woyays creeps which are now defectors in front line...

Really? Hard to see what's so helpful about his endless repetition of the same joke comparing Istock to cattle.
Yeah, that was quite boring, but I noticed he hasn't made them lately. I wished he had forgotten it, but now he is bak to it!

Now that you've mentioned... he has 28 ignores, did shank_ali had that many?

Read my last post
and it IS NOT A JOKE for me any more.
Its just funny ambiguity. DIG it?!
Blahhh
just read it...

Look Lisa
After all iStock/CATTLE/LIVESTOCK isnt joke at all. It just what they name means in my language, and sweetest thing is that they behave like that see below.

S T O K A

Seams that Leaf put automatic filter when I type S T O K A filter automatically translate this to iStock so try this

and in translation field enter S T O K A without spaces

A few years ago when iStock started with their greedy games I had perhaps the sharpest expression, sometime it was to rude, while contributors (especially exclusives) are flooded with Woyay threads and been blind at that time. I have been interested how far iStock will go with it, and it seems to me there is no end. Now I do not care what they do because I do not expect anything positive from them in the future.
Now as I see more and more negative/sharp/rude opinions from people who were in Woyay club have bigger moans and conspiracy theories about iStock than me ever.
For me now it is just sweet when I opening iStock site (if smacks are online

) and just say for myself: "Lest see what Cat..e is doing/inventing how to screw all of us more"
How do you dont understand Lisa. This word is just Disambiguation of original meaning in my language.

Let's say you were a waitress and had a boss who is harassed or mistreated you and other workers, and who had a funny name or surname that reflected his behavior and that became his nickname.
Is that so hard to figure out.

Any how Cat..e is to soft(drink) and wrong word for iSotck what they are. More appropriate description for them will be GRDY ARGNT BSTRDS but I unfortunately I dont call them like that in most my posts, even they deserve it
PERIOD

For me is funny English word CowBoy - if it is translated in my language it seams that mother of this Boy is Cow
or word CockPit of airplane seams you can see by youre self...
There lots of more ambiguous words but I can not remember right now...

---------------------------------

Can somebody quote this jabbering how can Lisa could read this with her hearing thirsty eyes on her avatar.

Quote from: Will Dutt on July 14, 2011, 20:19

All of the replies above have lead me to learn four things:

1) Being exclusive is a tricky game to play
2) Hard work, determination and inspiration will eventually pay off
3) Shooting what the market wants will increase sales, not necessarily what you want to shoot.
4) The microstock market is forever changing as images fade in and out of marketing fads.

Agree or Disagree?

So for a while did you have any image approved on any agency listed on right side of you browser window?

There is no problem with scratches, problem is both of them use same fake film strip which looks like film strip only if you are to young or naive. Both of them deserves to be hung by the balls on they village square at least.

It's only faboulos if your name comes out of the yellow bucket and you pay the ticket price, arrange your travel and hotel accomadation and pack your camera gear.

The worst thing is that I can afford it but I dont want it even in my worst madness if they pay me all for that sht I have better ways to spend my time.
My post is about "dreaming" how to fck them out from this part of the world and my neighborhood.
Everybody have right to dream.
so iStock in my dream has right to have triple fck up jump to other side of this planet...
Thats it
Simple dream...

For me colors of interface icons and elements on site is to much vibrant and saturated.
Its OK for cartoon or child sites not for stock.
Thumb of photos and illustrations must be vibrant but if other interface elements are vibrant too you dont have point in what you are looking for, just in to colorful cartoon site what CanStockPhoto is not.
Also name CanStockPhoto in top left corner will be better to be white on blue than black...

What's so vibrant about it? the only vibrant colours they've used is the orange on the search. The logo isn't too bright. The background is subtle. They've used colours that make the images look more vibrant and that is what you want. The images now pop.

Ok
Maybe "vibrant" is not what I mean. Maybee poping menus with odd icons feals me like childish style?!
Try to cover gray footer from screen or just cover it with hand and see that something is not eye friendly.
Generally site looks to me like old template from Rapid weaver with added gray footer like on 123rf.
Maybee I am wrong but I think there is too much room for improvement.

Worst IS month since January 2009.

Third month in earnings this year.
Shuter is better than IS, DT, FT combined.
123 and Big switch they position from last month.
Can and Veer are seriously picking up.
Others are relatively same +/- 5-10%

Lol I misread it in the first place (I was thinking of 4th of June). I'm not a yank so it totally slipped my mind that it's the date of a national holiday. It's great seeing them keeping our money till the last possible day as usually. I should have gotten that raise 3 months earlier (but of course they didn't stick to the RC announcement dates. Twice).

Yeah you misread it, but I bet they will late with that 3 weeks in July too.
Any announcement from IS I just read as childish April fool joke, so you are not wrong at all especially if Kelly Konjson wrote it.
You will see
