Symbiostock / Re: Is this project dead?« on: August 18, 2014, 15:34 »I continue to be vocal about the issues with the software because i believe people have the right to know all sides of a story. And i am even more vocal when bullies show up and start blaming me and telling me i dont have any right to my opinion and adding minuses to my posts just because they "don't like me." You better believe I am NOT going to let it drop and go on my merry way. Exactly. As I sad in earlier thread like this: Just ignore her. Obviously she needs this kind of intention. She pretends to be interested in an objective exchange of views, but she never was ... 3

General Stock Discussion / Re: Time for a new startup?« on: May 02, 2014, 10:08 »what do you think about Symbiostock.com? Just to add some information: Leo didn't really abbonden the project. At the moment he is focusing on other (paid) jobs, but in the background he is working on a second version of Symbiostock. Meanwhile the current version of Symbiostock is used by 185 photographers and illustrators ... they can be found here: www.symbiostock.info 8

Hi R2D2
this is Jochen from Germany. I run www.flashstockphoto.com within the Symbiostock network since almost one year now. I understand your concerns ... I had the same when starting my site. What I did was building my site, then presenting it to my lawyer. After some minor changes in my texts he said: Everything is fine now. Of course I can't give you any legal guarantee, but feel free to have a look to my site or send me an e-mail via my contact form for further exchange of ideas. 10
Adobe Stock / Re: Fotolia D-Day (Deactivation Day) - May,1« on: April 28, 2014, 09:52 »Are there agencies who built the symbiostocksites? Im full-time photographer and have no idea in symbiostocksite building. Is there a service? That's true: Steve, an early bird from the Symbiostock network is offering this service for people with limited time or experience. And as Martha mentioned above there is also a very helpful community at http://www.symbiostock.org/community/ for all those who wish to join without using the service of Steve. 11

I agree. Everybody who signed the petition should consider to open his own stock site with Symbiostock. A great opportunity to strengthen our independence and a strong signal towards the agencies ... 12
General Stock Discussion / Re: iStock Vrs Shutterstock Subscription Plan« on: April 23, 2014, 07:50 »Exactly. Different images sell differently on different agencies... This is true for many images, I agree. But my topseller is the same image on Shutterstock and iStock. It was sold over 1000 times on both agencies since 2011. Counting all downloads (any kind of downloads on Shutterstock / iStock sales + sales from PP) I see only a difference of exactly 10 downloads (in favor of iStock), but my income for this image on iStock is only 94% of my income on Shutterstock. Edit: So in this case both agencies are (almost) on one level, but speaking generally Shutterstock is my top earning agency like it is for most of us. 13

I'm absolutely with you, Ron. As I sad in the other thread: "I really would like to allow sensitive use for my images without models ... and those with models but without visible face." 14

Not sure about that ... in any case a good reminder to protect your site ... using Wordfence or another plugin like Bad-behavior.

I checked my site and all looks ok, nothing unusual. Well, if you don't use Wordfence it's quite consequential that you don't receive emails from them ... 22
Off Topic / Re: WordPress sites under heavy attack right now - how you can protect your site« on: February 10, 2014, 18:00 »I opted in to the real-time Wordfence thingy and it sends me an email every morning warning me it's found "problems" on my site, and then tries to sell me on the pro version. Needing an upgrade is apparently a "serious problem." I use wordfence since almost one year and never got this email. Only similar emails which inform me about updates of other plugins or the theme. 23

"If you're using the free or paid version of Wordfence you should have the option to "Participate in the real-time Wordfence security network" under 'Other options' enabled."
I use the free version and found the option mentioned ... it seems the free version protects my site. 24
Off Topic / Re: WordPress sites under heavy attack right now - how you can protect your site« on: February 10, 2014, 15:47 »Who was the email from? I'm a little skeptical because I haven't received an email, though I'm on WordPress and I use Wordfence. It could just be an attempt to sell the pro version of WordFence, or it could be a scam (or it could be true). I wouldn't click on any link in that email. It's a security mail from wordfence and the only link I posted is the one to wordfence.com ... I don't think it's scam. At least I hope 25
Off Topic / WordPress sites under heavy attack right now - how you can protect your site« on: February 10, 2014, 14:51 »
I just received this mail and thought I share for those who haven't protected their sites:
As of 11am eastern time this morning we are monitoring the largest distributed brute force attack on WordPress installations that we've seen to date. The real-time attack map on www.wordfence.com became so busy that we've had to throttle the amount of traffic we show down to 4% of actual traffic. A brute force attack is when an attacker tries many times to guess your username password combination by repeatedly sending login attempts. A distributed brute force attack is when an attacker uses a large number of machines spread around the internet to do this in order to circumvent any blocking mechanisms you have in place. If you're using the free or paid version of Wordfence you should have the option to "Participate in the real-time Wordfence security network" under 'Other options' enabled. This will immediately block any attack originating from an IP address that has attacked other WordPress sites using Wordfence. This is an effective defense against this kind of attack. We recommend that until this passes you monitor your WordPress websites closely for unusual activity including logins, account creation or changes to the public facing website. |
