Thanks for the words. However, the thanks or acknowledgement (although welcome) is not always expected or necessary. What's puzzling Kev and I is the negative comments we see about the free site. It's really amazing us how some people can be totally negative about something that's offered for free and it's not as if we're forcing them to go and look anyway. We're dismayed at some people's attitude - and it seems some of you are too.

The work u produce is some of the BEST available. Your site offers the best free section iv seen and its a very good thing good people like you kindly share it with us as not all people have the facility or the money to join paysites (me included) I do agree with what u say about not getting feedback from visitors to your site and sometimes it takes a wake up call like this to make people post there views and be greatfull. I for one now will try and post a thanx or something on all good wetlook finds or productions. So keep up the good work!!

Too many people want free pics,without a thought to the time,costs, etc involved in running and updating a website.All producers seem to suffer the same fate...My site statistics tell me people look at my stuff and the views counter on UMD tells me usually 2000+ people look at the pics there,and I get like 4 responses!!

Just the way it is,Kev,unfortunately.

Do keep posting,though I'm as guilty as some for not saying so,I do like what you do.

Cheers

Brian

A Question to the Wetlook Community

By Kev - kev.styx@ntlworld.com Wed 23/04/03 21:21:07 GMT

Website: www.styxfreeworld.com

For the last eighteen months styx-photography.com (the freesite) has delivered new photosets every week- to eveyone, for free, nothing, zilch, buckshee, etc.

For free I have made a point of updating the site EVERY week. I have placed mpegs on there for people to download too. My free updates have been more reliable than many paysites.

Now the site has changed name to styxFREEworld and I'm in the process of transfering the galleries over. The reason for the dely? Because I am making the pictures twice as big as before!

The question is, am I completely wasting my time? Judging from the comments of some people on this forum it looks like I am.

I don't mind really, I'm quite happy to put the costs of running the freesite into my wallet. I am also happy to use the hours I spend running the site into other things.

This weekend the first of the 9 bigger galleries were going to be transfered onto the new site, including a new gallery of Jo May in a tub of custard.

But quite franky, unless I get get some positive feed back- I ain't going to bother!

I have better things to do with my time and money than waste it on people who are either ungrateful or downright hostile!

Choice is yours guys

Kev
