I find it sad that Roni is going. She was one of the originals back when we started.
But I do think you might be missing something. They only had still pictures.
One of the things that we did right from day one, was to shoot lots and lots of videos and now have thousands and the old ones still sell. I am a video guy by trade and now it is really paying off. One of our sites is purely videos and it does very well. In fact, I don't shoot stills anymore. I sold off all my Canon gear.
We generate most of our sales, and the Panda update has been very good to us.
I also think you need a basket of business to survive out here and relying on one website is getting harder and harder.
My best wishes to Lucky and Roni because they are really good and were an inspiration back in the day when there were only a handful of us around trying to figure out how to market, bill, design, and still have fun.
