Obviously, from what I can see people like to take but don't want to give back.

Thanks for negating a lot of people's hard work.

And with the "don't want to give back," I'm out.

I'm enjoying the irony of that post in relation to a forum chock-full of helpful topics, links and advice on SYM freely given by everyone involved.

It was merely an idea to compensate the developers. Obviously, from what I can see people like to take but don't want to give back. Again, my apologies to the people who did, including you cclapper.

I would strongly suggest you read though ALL the posts, especially the early ones when new versions were being tested every day and then see if you can still "obviously see" if your above comment still stands, let alone people who have donated to Leo along the way.

What has happened recently, everything was so smooth - well, maybe a few hiccups and friendly with everyone helping each other, the last few days seem to have got somewhat prickly

I think some of us are feeling a little protective of SY and don't take comments like the one above very well. Most of the things brought up now are things we all discussed ad nauseum long before.

Anyway, some good bits of gold in the dross. It's going to be an interesting year for Symbiostock and all of us involved.

I think it is a healthy discussion. Again if somebody feels insulted by my comments, I do apologies.

Again, it was merely an idea. I'm willing to either pay a small commission or donate to the cause. I takes money to make money.

If that doesn't sit well with people, I guess it wasn't a good Idea and I can accept that.

I think the only insult was your suggestion that we're all freeloaders taking and not giving back without taking a real look at what's been done, by whom and for how long.

Your suggestion for a commission based system is fine and you'll have some followers to that model. I have no doubt someone will build exactly that as an option down the road if it makes sense for them to do so.

These are all just ideas. There are a number of people having fairly regular sales without a hub. This idea is for the elite to group their efforts and simplify customer experience - and develop working relationship with clients.

I think there is confusion ... symbiostock official central search is a different project.

The hub setting would allow stocksky people to pool their efforts and keep the professional image they work hard for... it would allow me and a group of illustrators to have a fun looking illustration search and customer forum... it would allow nature photographers to build a global database of location oriented material if they wish. Anything.

The Eula and central carts are just perks. Please just have fun with the ideas. They will evolve into something.

I should have worded differently and I did apologize.

my main reason for setting up the poll was to see what SYM owners thought about central collection for a group hub. I've never bought the idea that buyers are too lazy to buy from individual artists, so it appears there are enough people who agree that we can make a start

with less than 1 day's polling, representing about 20% of sym sites (not necessarily all votes are from sym sites, of course), individual sales and joint eula are running 2 to 1 ahead of the alternative.

so, i'll work up a more detailed proposal for how this might work. if you're interested, send me a PM with your email address as PM gets cumbersome with ccs. once we get a first draft of the design worked out, i'll post it here for more comments from everyone.
