... But the way you're acting is not of a business person.
Exactly! Glad you found these words, all words I had in mind where just too harsh to post them ...

Please allow me to apologise for the way I handled my criticism. I should have followed my own advice and should have kept it to myself or expressed myself privately.
I do think criticism should not be ignored in this project moving forward, its invaluable feedback.
Just let it be clear that I am still helping people getting on board with Symbiostock, I am still getting PMs from people asking my about my experience or if I can help them with their site/seo. And I respond positively to their questions.
I also love my site, nothing has changed about that. I never thought Symbiostock is a failure, and still dont. I have always defended the project when needed and will continue to do so.
I have much respect for the work that Leo, Michelle, Jo Ann, and many others have put towards the project. That will never change either. Thank you for all you have done.
So I sincerely apologise for the way I handled my criticism. I hope it can be forgiven.
Great move, Ron. I really appreciate your words ... (and voted your post up  )

Because it was a question and I appreciated the thought of how much Leo put into the theme. Did you notice I highlighted what I was answering? Or was it a private conversation and no one is allowed to have an opinion? I don't understand?
- with the success of our sites. When I started my site I was totally aware of the fact that we will not be able replace the agencies within some months.
- with Leo, who is still working quite alone on the code of Symbiostock. Probably none of us can imagine the energy it took to get the theme to the point where it is now.
I just wanted to say, my mind still boggles at the thought of all the coding, refining, chasing gremlins and bugs, to make the Symbiostock theme work in the first place.
I'll leave it at that.
It needs to become a community project, or without Leo and a couple others currently, it's going to die an orphan. I'm not smart enough with WP or php, to help or contribute, so here's hoping someone out there is.
Actually I wonder why you quote me, as I answered to something Ron said, not you ...
Sorry, I guess I really missunderstood ... it's late here. I will say good night now ... I was kind of overvelmed by all the negative posts today ... and I'm tired. Hope to read some positive words when I wake up

Instead of voting my comment down, its a better idea to ask yourself why all of a sudden people who supported the project turn negative. Why does a negative comment have to be keelhauled? Does voting my comment down help solve a problem?
If I vote down a post (I guess I voted down one of you posts today) it does not say I ignore a problem or don't like a person ... it just says I (really, really) don't agree with something which was said in this specific post. I would appreciate if we would use forums for constructive discussions ... things like that what you an leo are exchanging here right now are personal things which could be better resolved in a personal communication between you an Leo (pm, mail, etc.). I would like to talk about Symbiostock here, not about personal feelings or injuries ...

... Leaf, can you do me a favor and delete all of Symbiostock MSG threads? Thanks ...
Leo, I totally understand that you aren't happy that a thread which was meant to be positive (with an idea which I really like a lot, btw.) turned that way. But I don't think it's the right way to delete all Symbiostock MSG threads. We NEED MSG, I think. Don't let negative voices get to much power over you (and the project) Just my 2 cents.

I said things about symbiostock a while ago.
Seems they are coming true.
Thing is, with cooperations, or what you call it, the rules and focus, has to be even more clear than with a normal employer / employee relationship.
You cannot do a symbiostock site without a very specific target for the future, like: we are egg exporters and we want to sell eggs to England.
You also cannot do it with a framework that is not agreed on.
So agree on a target ( to sell many pictures), agree on the framework ( percentage and rules) and dictate the style and content.'
If you want a cooperative, to be successfull, you have to dictate a lot, and to exterminate those who will not listen.
And no, I didnt get these views from the USSR, but from the Danish cooperatives who managed to export eggs, bacon and butter to the whole world, and still do.
It is obvious that you cannot be a successfull egg exporter if half of the eggs are rotten or if the customer does not know how to pay.
I really would appreciate you to stop your negative comments ... it's very easy to criticize things from outside,without being part of the network. So just become a part of the network, learn about the thing you are talking about ... I do like constructive criticism but I feel your posts are quite self-opinionated.

I stopped caring about SYS.
Sorry to hear that ... but I still think we have to be patient: - with the success of our sites. When I started my site I was totally aware of the fact that we will not be able replace the agencies within some months. - with Leo, who is still working quite alone on the code of Symbiostock. Probably none of us can imagine the energy it took to get the theme to the point where it is now.

Hello everyone,
I need to take website screenshots of some model Symbiostock sites.
If possible, I'd like to ask people to volunteer their sites for the Symbiostock.com front-page gallery if possible. Simply post here if you are able.
Please feel free to use my site, Leo.

My guess:
They have a yearly competition which department will be able to cause the worst reputation disaster
Probably this competition is organized with a very sophisticated redeemed credit system (please be aware: the calculation of this RC system might be responsible for temporary slow-downs of the site).

Mine arrived yesterday ... Thanks so much Tyler and Amos. And thanks for the additional gifts (I don't know why: I like the Shutterstock gift better than the iStock gift ... somehow it mirrors real live  )

See, you have no understanding of the Symbiostock site, there lies the problem. You assume you cant set your own licence and pricin, but in fact you can. You can add any content you want. Assumptions are the mother of all * ups.
Exactly. ... You are all acting mean, like a private club. ...
Be assured: We are not! New people are joining the Symbiostock network regularly and they get a warm welcome and all the help they might need by the older members. You could have experienced that yourself if you acted differently ...

I didn't intend that when opening that thread ... it was just funny what I saw today and as Robert explained it was not the responsibiltity of PM. Panthermedia is a low earner for me too, but to add something positive here I want to mention that there are positive surprises at PM sometimes, single downloads of 44 Euro for example ... it's rare but it happens. I thought this should be said to keep the balance.

I just refreshed my subscription-downloads on Panthermedia and got a white screen with a small word in the upper left corner: fuc. Nothing to add

I really like Alamy's decision ... I don't know who decided that at Alamy but I would love to see him/her teach a seminar on contributer relations for certain other agencies Cheers for listening Alamy!

I use Yoast plugin and Leo's plugin and have both submitted to Google via webmaster-tools ... works perfect for me (I don't have the exact numbers in mind, but last time I had a look at it most of my images and pages were indexed)
BTW: Did you know that there is a dedicated Symbiostock-forum now: symbiostock.org
You might get answers faster over there.

This looks great. I'm looking forward to getting my symbio site up and running as soon as the snow flies and I'm logging office hours more regularly.
Great to hear that
