If it happens and someone finds out, let us know the Price per Share on it. Maybe that is the way to the Microstock Collective Idea.

Could be WORSE!!  at least they didnt stab us in the back like Bruce did. Going public need not be anything to worry about, its a pretty normal way to go.

I don't think Bruce stabbed us in the back, he cashed out, simple as that, he didn't owe us anything. The same, even more so can be said about Jon Oringer, who in my opinion deserves to be rewarded more than anyone else in this industry. If he decides to cash out at some point, I would not be surprised, and certainly wouldn't hold it against him, I would congratulate him. Hopefully, he does stay though.

The people that stabbed you in the back, IMHO, are the schills still at IStockphoto who bend over to their Getty overlords.

Oh come on, its a small world!  everybody in this game, Bruce included knew the Getty reputation, long before he sold. Ofcourse he didnt do it on purpose, thats not what Im saying but he must have knew damned well it was going to change his IS beyond recognition.
heck! if mortals like us could guess it, so could he.

i just feel bad for them working over there because they really have no say in the decision process. I wouldnt be proud to be a part of that company if i worked there and knowing how crappy this economy is, i wouldn't walk out of the job unless i had a solid backup plan. Im sure some people will leave and have left which is great for them but they sure as hell didnt leave without finding something better.

There's always been that speculation that Rob Sylvan might have left his post at istock under similar conditions. The timing of his departure and the things going on at istock seemed more than coincidental.

Pure speculation of course, but not an uncommon theory.

Of course he knew Getty's reputation, that's not what I said.  Do you think he had a better offer and purposefully sold it to Getty to stab you in the back? Did he owe it to you to sell it to a more well-intentioned company? Do you know if there were even any other offers? I don't blame Bruce at all.

But I happen to agree....he left because he was aware of the times to come...just my opinion of course.
