Overlimit upload for this month

Tuesday July 17, 2007 at 07:44AM

One year ago- Arakawaoki matsuri (VI)
One year ago- Arakawaoki matsu…
That's it for the next two weeks. I'm not an ipernity pro user, so I can upload only 200 MB per month which I reached today. So the picture number 98 you can see here, is the last one until first of August.

I reached the upload limit so fast, cause I always upload original versions. I do this for flickr and use the ipernity script to put them here including tags. That's the easiest way and I'll not change it.

I also will not become a pro user here in the near future. Two pro accounts on photosharing sites would be one too much and I still think flickr is the best solution to present all my pictures, share them with family & friends. Simply cause the layout of flickr is much more suitable for this. Pictures on the impernity homepage is only a minor part, but it's the main part for me.

Even though I don't like flickr as company as so many others here, I'm practically not affected by any changes recently done on flickr, I have no pictures which are restricted in anyway and I'm not interested in stuff I would call restricted (which is not equal to flickrs Uncle Bob definition). So for me life over there has not changed much.

Anyway, I like this place, too. And my impressions so fare are very positive. I will continue uploading pictures next month, but maybe not everyone. I think of some 'best of' selection, adding one or two pictures a day. So I can spread my uploads over a whole month.

Meanwhile I will look around here at your pictures, your blogs and maybe writing something from time to time. And if we got groups in the next two weeks, of course I will participate in building up the first ones :)

I don't think the question is if we are or are not effected by Yahoo's policy. Yahoo uses my money to put innocent people in jail. That's all that counts to me. That's why hundreds have left Yahoo.

Yes, and the fact that the Yahoo board said that's not of their business and that they will act similarly in future ...

Bei mir ist es das selbe Ding. Im Oktober läuft mein PRO-Account bei Flickr aus. Dann werde ich hier PRO ;-)

Meiner läuft noch fast ein Jahr, ich hatte gleich zwei Jahre bezahlt. Mal sehen, was dann ist. Aber bis jetzt bin ich mit dem status quo eigentlich ganz zufrieden.

That IS a shame. I shall miss you. I upload 300kb shots, so I'm ok for now. Hope to see around though even if you don't upload anything for a while. I'll buy you a drink any time.

Thanks Gudrun! And of course I will not vanish from here, only stopping upload of pictures for some time.

Hmmm, its a tricky one, I have almost stopped uploading any public photos to flickr. I don't like the yahoo mentality and I don't like their push to dominate everything - the latest is the paypal v. yahoo wallet rubbish and all the stuff with credit cards. I have kept my pro account there for the moment and will upload photos to my limit but nearly all are tagged as private or family only. Its a principal thing as I am not effected at all by the censorship issues. More than anything it is their attitude to their customers that sucks, especially when staff tell long standing members with 1000's of views and favourites to go elsewhere if they don't like the changes. Not many companies even in today's world get away with that. Look at the quality of the work of the people who have left...

the "old" flickr is irrecoverable dead, now command only Yahoo and Yahoo transform flickr in a family&funnyfriendsnapshot site for the pubblic view and in a large porn photosite hidden for pubblic view in privat-groups and friends&family only pictures

This is not a place for me

I transfer almost all my pictures on ipernity and post new pictures only at ipernity
I made all pictures on flickr privat and only 2 protest picture with link at my ipernity home remain visible at my flickrsite

I don't will provide content for yahoo-flickr

I think in this is the only way to create here my new home and my new network
