I just got accepted yesterday (on a first try !!!  ). They approved 8 out of 10 of my first batch. They needed only two hours to review and approve my images. I was pleasantly surprised by their effectiveness.
I'm wondering, when will they start to sell ? 
You should be able to retire by the end of November.

Carolyn from photoattorney.com has repeatedly posted that there has never been a US case showing the need for a property release.

Just another simple site built as a reason to list a bunch of referral links.

By opening the gates for all images that meet our simple technical requirements we simply concentrate to become The BIGGEST place for easy access, afordable images on the internet.
....
Further more we predict that microstock will have serios problems ahead. More and more people compete over the same pennies.
And this will be different in the future because ... ? How does raising the price not have more and more people competing over the same pennies. In fact, you have more people competing for less sales, especially if you are "opening the gates".

For me, the effect was that I had no upload slots for a week.
That's not how that worked. The effect was that it parceled out upload slots by the day, instead of by the week. So, if your limit was 15, you could upload two each day, instead of 15 at a time. Inconvenient, but that was over with in a week, and it certainly wasn't the cause of the large queue.

I agree that exclusives should have priority, and as long as it doesn't create problems for the rest, good for them. But when exclusives had unlimited uploads a whole weekend not so long ago, with the result that they had to halt uploads for everybody, before reducing it to the crawl we are seeing now, they really shot themselves in the foot.
That really didn't have anything to do with the queue. Most exclusives reported uploading their normal amount that weekend. Only a couple said they had a few extras. The queue was more affected by the decision to have a ton of admins/inspectors at the France meetup for several days. Plus the site outages.

Yep, don't know anything about that.

I definitely remember an upload limit of 10 or 15 a week when I first started.

What I find particularly annoying with some of the attitudes I see at the forums, particularly when questions about upload quotas come up, is the fact that most of those diamond members built their portfolios when upload limits were much higher. Sometimes I get a feeling that they are saying "since you didn't become a member when we started out, you are not one of us, and should be thankful that you are allowed in here at all."
This is not at all true. Upload limits have varied all over the place from 10 on up, since I started in August 2004.

We're in the process of uploading most of our collection (9,000+) with a few rejections along the way. I believe there's lots of room for microstock prices to increase. Thus I decided on a moderate SnapVillage price point to start. I would recommend the same to anyone uploading- if the client finds the perfect image, the difference between $5 and $25 won't keep them from using your photo. If you have a quality portfolio, push up the prices.
So you'll be removing your images from the rest of the micros, since it wouldn't make sense to offer them for $25 in one place, and $1 in another? Or are you just hoping they aren't smart enough to search around?

OK Folks, You all got me curious about microstock. I've not been the easiest person to convince nor am I convinced but I'm going to give it a try. I'm reading in this post that there are limits to the number of images one can upload at any given time. I just had a staff member pull about 10000 images from my files that are older but not dated.
Congratulations to all here who have convinced a competitor to upload 10,000 images to compete with theirs.

Nice to see you sjlocke. What exactly is "absolutely not true"? If I download one of your images and put it on two different webservers that's a violation of the terms. I'm not talking about derivative works, I'm talking about the actual jpeg file. You may only have the image installed in one place at a time. As I said in the original post, it was a silly example because 99% of the time you'd have a derivative work on a website!
I agree that the image can be used on any number of projects at the same time, but you can't use the image at the same time if that means installing the image in two different locations. If I put a copy of the image on my webserver, like on godaddy.com, then I can't have a working copy of it on my home desktop.
Hmmm. I guess so - the initial bit about having it on two websites sounded like a different kind of statement.

Correction for Vicu:
2) On istock there is a seat restriction. You may install and use the Content in only one location at a time. So if you used it on a website, you can't use the image in an ad campaign at the same time. You would have to take the image off the website, then make your prints, then you can put it back up on the website. I know this is a silly example, but it shows the usage is in fact limited.
Edit:
3) A better example is that you couldn't use the same image on two different websites at the same time.
Just wanted to point out that this is absolutely not true. The seat restriction refers to the buying organization. ie, the regular license is for Bob to have the image and use it at his desk. If the entire department of 10 wants access to the image, it is supposed to have an extended license. The image itself can be used on any number of projects at the same time.
