Has anyone else noticed that their entire site has been down all day? What's up with that?

Which brings up a big question on my mind - what will happen to our money if any of these microstock sites just shut down one of these days? We seem to be dealing with a web address most of the time, like most "businesses" on the internet.

nyone with bad experiences?

Actually, yeah.. I had a few images posted with this one site that just out of nowhere shut down. Never had any sales, but I was brought there by someone who had done quite well. I believe the site was totallyphotos.com.

DT has had their downtimes before. The last time brought a few days of technical glitches.. so I guess they're battling some issues again.

The reason I asked is because in the brick and mortar business world, vendors who "consign" stocks to retailers can at least physically monitor their dealers but here when we consign photos to a site, we may not even get true sales figures if the people running those sites are unscrupulous. Worse still, I sometimes get the impression microstock sites behave like their contributors are just a bunch of idiots to be treated like so. Guess they don't really have much retail experiences.

It looks like they are back up and running. My sales there have SUCKED lately, although in all honesty they were never all that brisk on DT to begin with. But I should get enough for a payout within the next couple months, so they had better not shut down completely!
