perhaps a raise for everyone :)

Doubt the raise part. Now if the buyers started downloading as much as the contributors are uploading ,,,,, then maybe a raise ;)

Just for an experiment I uploaded a couple more and here's the file number assigned to a new upload while the system was at 9,999,743
46,618,102
I suppose they didn't start at 1 but even if file number 1 was 100,000 that would be 46 million files uploaded to get 10 million.
How's that for effort? I don't know if that means that some files were removed, but it does mean, in round numbers, that 46 million files were reviewed and 22% are still on the system.

Well they removed a pile of car images a while ago.
I am guessing they starting pretty close 1 on their images.
Check out Jon Oringer's images - they start counting at 20 :)

My latest image (end last week) has an ID of 46369687.
My first (2005) has ID 535896.
Would that mean they have an overall acceptance ratio of 25%? I can't imagine those 75% would all be cars. Or are people culling their portfolio? That many went exclusive to iStock?
10,002,094 royalty-free stock photos
215,027 photographers (that past the entrance exam)
= on average 46.52 images per portfolio.

no, I would think that they have around a 25% acceptance ratio plus all the images that got removed (for copyright or exclusive with itstock etc) but that probably isn't really all that many in the big picture.

All the people with thousands of files who went exclusive at IS pulled their photos? :D
Could be that many numbers are the initial application photos, people send in some files and quit. Looking at other sites, there are people who have less than 50% acceptance (on average) and get discouraged, plus some who never make it at all on SS. Drop outs?
I wouldn't think that this indicates a 75% rejection rate, but just that over 75% of the files that have ever been uploaded, aren't around anymore.
Judging from IS numbers, where 67% of the members have 100 or less files, guessing that 67% of 215,000 is at most 14 million photos, that could account for some of the drop when these people started, found nothing interesting, and moved out? I lumped people gone exclusive into this number to make the average 100 photos.
Roughing it out with no statistical backing, 47% rejection = 23 million, + 3% revised or uploaded again with a new number assigned, + drop outs / exclusives estimated at 14 million, that = 37 million vanished and hey look, 10 million left. ;D
Is this fuzzy logic and soft math, or what? But it could explain the 75% of all files numbered no longer on site?
