If we got abducted by aliens tomorrow there hundreds of newcomers waiting to take out places :-) Point'n'shot cameras are now 12 mpix :-)

A bit of topic but why do so many people write this type of statement?

As far as I'm aware no microstock site limits it's numbers of contributors, so why do people think there are hundreds of people waiting to take our places, why don't these hundreds of people just upload now, it's not a one out one in system you know!

Also taking a logical point of view, it takes years to build up a good sized portfolio, so if some of the individual big names left, the sites in question would be definately be effected by it. Unless of course these hundreds of people waiting to get in also each have a portfolio of 5000 good selling images!!

ANotheR big reality check from RT. You just can't help doin that everytime can you

Whjat a storm in a tea-cup. Would u lot ever quieten down ur like a bunch of old whining women goin on about a few cents. teh reason why the biggies are not making so much noise is there not intrested in any moral victory. ELs dont account for much on StockXpert or anyplace else and its unlikely they will in the future.

They want to be paid by Western Union. There's no comeback with that and I avoid WU like trhe plague for that reason.

Well it's 6:45pm EST and still no word.  Not good to leave us hanging this way. 

Yes we've bin hung alright. hung out to dry!!!!

How does that song go from American Werewolf in London? "i see a bad moon a rising, I see trouble on the way."

guys and gals, we re getting it up the ass here and until the bigger ports start making more noise adn I aint jus talking bout 1 or 2, yall can grease yr butts some more.
All those deleted ports are little people and even if the big guns start burning some bridges it still wont make no diff. So what if they allow open discussion? thats just pouring water on the outrage they knew would come. See if what you say makes a sheeit of a diff. they is still going ahead with whatever they planning.
Sooner the better yall realise that the reason we get treeted like crap is because we sell our stuff for crap. protest all u want, we create these sites when we spread our stuff all over lik confeti and then complain when things get messy.

Has any1 els noticed that the big ports are missing from all the shouting happening over on StockXpert and here. Andres, Yuri, iofoto, dolgachov, lumaxart, are very quiet for some strange reason 

Truth be known, theres not a thing any of you can say or do to stop this train wreck happening. The writing woz on the wall ages a ago and all the hollerin an protesting is not going to make a dizzy of a difference. 10mp cams are so cheep now theres a queue behind y'all waiting to submit and they don't even care if they get paid or not. They just get a buzz from the whole community thing. Watch!

I think u need to be commended for how you've dealt with the issues above. How and ever, coming on here is extremely risky and maybe youd be best advised not to in the future if u want to protect your bizness.

what really gets me bothered is the lack of queue. Sometime i do forget, walk away and the darn thing has timed out on me. I could spit when that happen coz i have to start all over again. please fix that brian. its maddening

Standard practice on most traditional stock sites, I imagine they took that idea and have applied it themselves, especially as I belief some of the management are from a traditional stock background.

And Laurin you must stop exagerating, you've only got 559 photo's on there so far out of which about 50-60 are people shots and some are of a mannequin, so to say 600 models is stretching it a bit!

Didn't you read what I said? I stopped when I saw They needed Pictures of the models. I only pushed through the non Model stuff. Im only asking a question here. But thanks for doing that so needed research into my port.............And BTW, I have a LOT more than 600. Next time your in LA, I'll let ya come over and count them for everyone.LOL

Laurin,
Yes I read it, and that's why I said what I did, I don't want to start a character assasination but I can't understand why you always have to inflate things.
You haven't even got 2000 images on SS or 600 models and they're your favourite site, my research took about 10 seconds, I just typed your name in.
Nothing personal just asking that you quote realistic figures.
Take care.

well you kinda gotta hand to our dearest Laurin he is consistently inconsistent at all times and his flair for hype and denial is very entertaining
