I have pleny of empathy for most of us here, Istock exclusives and independents alike, but as far as Vlad goes, I say "you made your bed, now lie in it".
Come on you've been bad mouthing everyone that disagrees with you, calling people shills and apologists just because they are doing well and don't see things your way.  I don't see Vlad putting anyone down but I do see you calling people names.

You can set up a separate account in another name and legally remain exclusive with IS while you move over to another exclusive arrangement (from now on) with newly created images.  IS has agreed to this when asked. 

If this was correct at any point in the past, I would not expect it now, in the current environment.

It was asked and approved 3 months ago by a big fish

I would love to hear more details ( you can PM me ).  Again, though, 3 months ago is not "now".
If it's ok as part of Istock's policy then it shouldn't be sensitive information, I'd also like to hear the details or do you have a link to the discussion?

I'm not saying to do it but it can be done by creating a company then transferring your istock account to the company. The company is exclusive with istock but you personally are technically only an employee of the company and not exclusive. When you shoot for the company they go to istock exclusively and when you shoot under your own name you can do what you wish.
And they can terminate your account as they wish.

I don't have any choice but to take a wait and see attitude, but I'm not all that excited about Bruce's new venture.  I wasn't all that thrilled with iStock even before the sale to Getty.  Getting 20% as an independent was hardly good treatment, their upload process was somewhere between tedious and agonizing, and their upload limits meant it didn't take all that long for my iStock income to fall behind Shutterstock.  Bruce's iStock treated most of us like poor stepchildren.  I appreciate what he did in giving microstock life, but wonder what fresh hell he'll unleash on whomever he decides to make second class citizens.

Of course, I could be all wrong about this.  We'll see.
I think it's all image exclusive and all 50% royalty rate so no exclusive/nonexclusive issues.

Maybe he's getting you confused with Tyler Stalman, one of the admin there.
Yep you're right, typing before thinking.

Good job Bruce and company!  As an exclusive with 50% growth for each of the last 4 years I don't think I'll be joining just yet but I applaud your efforts and hope it will be so successful I won't be able to stay away for too long.
