Anybody know the scoop? I know their numbers weren't great, but I had no idea they were fading away into the night!

I have been having a hard time with them. It took over two weeks for them to approve my images even though i emailed them after five days. Anyone else have that issue

Two weeks? Hmm...wonder what happened? As long as I have been a reviewer there, the longest the queue has been backed up was 8 days. We're down to about 4-5 now.

I uploaded over 500 photos recently and they were approved within a few days. Much quicker than some sites, dreamstime is the slowest for me at the moment.

I am starting to get sales as well, so perhaps LO has left the launchpad.

I sure would expect sales with that many downloads. I have only about 100 up starting a few weeks ago and have revenue of about $11. So there is traffic out there. With 500 images I'd expect some sales daily. They're still babies in this business so we've got to expect some crawling before walking and running with the big guys. But I love he quick approvals and nice interface so I can see getting up to the 500 image quantity as time permits and not expecting a whole lot of action for awhile.
I think it's a great benefit to have the freedom to go with new blood. Our images have much less competition at this site and, who knows, Microsoft was once this size and hasn't done too badly since.

Sales are increasing month on month but that is from a very small base.

At one time I was among only 1/100th of 1% of Americans who owned a PC. I guess I've got some pioneer blood in me too. In case you don't know: a pioneer is someone with a back full of arrows. I'm rooting for LO to make it through Indian country.

heck yes...i'll stick with the original wagon trail

Same here. I hope LO makes it. I think the potential is there. I'll hang in with their site, but not some of the others.
