Post by: fintastique on August 01, 2006, 17:11: I think someone mentioned it at the Can Stock Forum

someone was mentioning taboo subjects (other microstock sites) and someone warned them you couldn't discuss such matters there but you could at this forum.

rjmiz' new forum was way down on the second page.

Some may find this thread in StockXpert forum amusing regarding the competition (http://www.stockxpert.com/forum.phtml?f=showtopic&n=1599)

Glad to see you didn't post any comments regarding former members at the StockXpert forum.

Post by: leaf on August 30, 2006, 12:40: OK ok ok, so I have mentioned it a few times on DPC :p

Perhaps I can return the favor

If any of you want to learn to be a better a photographer, take part in the challenges on

DPChallenge (http://www.dpchallenge.com)

It is a great site and you will learn tons...
CAUTION: It is almost as addicting as Microstocks.

Post by: cthoman on January 20, 2010, 12:27: I was reading one of the stock forums and someone kept mentioning MSG. Apparently, they weren't talking about Chinese food though. I guess it is a better abbreviation than best match. I still giggle when people write that. :D I guess I just have the maturity level of a five year old.

Google customises search results for you when you're logged in, so the order you see is potentially different to what others see. Add " &pws=0 " to the end of the url and you'll see the non-personalised results. Like this: http://www.google.com/search?q=microstock+forum&pws=0 (http://www.google.com/search?q=microstock+forum&pws=0)

So MSG is #1 for "microstock forum" :)

ETA: Just checked the link and it's now #2. Maybe they vary the results to provide variety. I swear it was #1 two minutes ago.

Post by: Giuseppe Parisi on January 20, 2010, 15:14: I'm glad that a fellow photographer from SS or FT - I do not remember - pointed this forum out to me because I was trying to get some votes for a contest.
I'm glad I got to know you guys and be part of this community, there are great people in here.
