Fotolog slogan of the year: Thanks for your patience. If I read that one more time I will puke ...

There doesn`t seem much left to say. I had a lot of fun during my year and a quarter with Fotoflop. But since this site became a company instead of something people cared for personally, I also got frustrated with the crappy service way too often. Before I could tolerate it a lot better because I didn`t pay for a service but "donated" to a fun cause instead.

After only 1573 attempts in the last 3 days I finally managed to skim my archive down from 74 pages to only 4 (even if Fotolog says I have 5). That way I realized more clearly what had happened here and how my relationship with this site slowly turned from being one of it`s biggest supporters to someone who only shrugs her shoulders and moves on.

I can very well understand why some of you still love Fotolog so much. Only after having moved to a different site I realized how many serious flaws I had kept up with for way too long. Again: I am thankful for the strange fundraiser that forced me to look for a different site.

Please "forward my mail" to the address shown in the linklist. Thank you and take care - and please don`t ever thank me "for my patience"! There are lots of expressions much less hollow and more heartfelt than that meaningless phrase.

And Elke: There is no need to send me sugary sweet emails again. I fell for it once, but I won`t anymore. Thanks for your ...

Hear, hear. :o)

Good luck Panda...
I`ll see you around... ;)

Us too, Panda.
I am glad you are enjoying flickr, we`ll drop by but my first choice has settled elsewhere.

God bless you!

Yeah, me too Pandy! So can i get one of these T-Shirts cheap now? :)

"Dramatically reduced", Zen! :D

I understand...
think it is no use to talk any suggestion or sending email via help page also.
well, I`ll see you there..:)

thank you for your continuing patience, pandaaaa
hehehe
love the pink.
:D

Does anyone know who runs flickr - you were such a gracious supporter of fotolog and they let you down - its shameful - I am in the process of moving to flickr. I e-mailed them as to a monthly payment option and they said once they are out of beta they will have a monthly payment amount, thank goodness, me broke. I am there, as you know, and my name there is "Buddhas Elf".

Good luck and see you on Flickr.

Sandman opened an account for me too at your new address. When I have time I may move there.

Have fun in your new home! Moving home is the hard part but you usually find that the move is worth the while...

See you around.

HAHAHAHAHAHA THE REALLY TRULLY TRUE!!!!
THEN`S 4 OURN PATIENCE!!
AND WE MUST BOY IT!
FANNY FANNY ! EXCELENT! ^^

uhuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

I take it you were not enshrined?

lol and thank you ever so much for your patience.

Remember that sometimes the devil you know is better than the devil you don`t know. :)

I haven`t spent allot of time at flikr but did put my foot in the door. :)

thanks for dropping by my new place, hope to see you again soon!

Flickr fordert mehr Englisch(amerikanisch)-Kenntnisse von mir! Ich stolpere mich da so durch, zumal ich gewohnt bin das Inselenglisch zu sprechen.... Aber ich versuch`s.... Trotzdem ist es wie Heimat aufgeben, dem Flog ganz den Rücken zuzuwenden.... Aber andererseits sollten die einfach auch begreifen, dass sie ein paar Dinge ändern müssten!

Hahaha!
Hiya Panda, nice to see you up to your old tricks here :)

(keeps foot in flickr door, just enough..for now)

*sigh* I totally understand. I guess I`ll catch up with you in Flickr then! :-)

LMAO i love that!!!!!
so creative pandarine!

ow, sorry, that was me /sotoxic

Pandarine,

Well said. You are the best.

we need you!

What for?

You know where to find me, don`t you? ;-)

we need you ... because you`re Panda! Warm, fuzzy, cosy, crazy lady Panda! How could this place function without ya?

LOL! I love spongey`s comment. You are warm, fuzzy, cozy, crazy lady Panda! And, yes, I know this place is crazy, but: 1) I already paid. 2) I love the people. 3) I don`t really even have the time I spend here to give to this type of thing, so the idea of starting up again somewhere else is hard for me to think about.

But, I do agree that glitchy service + stuff is a pain-in-the-neck + other places.

I know where to find you, butI´ll still miss you panda! Fotolog isn´t going to be the same without your tee´s..

Was in here

This is so clever and funny.

you kick ass.

Tasty. As I said in another email, I want to be part of sponsering, participating, etc. If I am participating. I want to support a good idea, and a good product. I did last year for about 6 months.
During those 6 months there was tremendous growth here. Certainly a sign of success. Success comes with a price. Here the price became sluggish servers due to traffic, GC members couldn`t get access, uploading failed often, when loading a pagr either photo wouldn`t load or comments wouldn`t load...etc... Enough to take away from the enjoyement. I became frustrated and aggravated everytime I wanted to contibute.
This situation has improved some. True to my promise I have started contributions again, unfortunately, after 1 week, I still find the comment that my guest book is full and GC members get 100 comments, Yet I am once again a member. No comments appear.
The cost of the servers VS the contributing members, need better control. Perhaps a different URL and set of servers for the GC members. Move the account once a member contributes. More maintenance yes. But happier campers too.

Panderine, the above Post still reflect my views and obviously yours. I Posted this recently shortly after being turned down for a group log for Montreal. http://www.fotolog.net/alpha_mare
Finally was born!
I`ve watched your input; great photos, great participation. I started losing interest last spring after 6 months of sponsering. The situation was worse.
I turned my funds into my own server, less attention on Photos more on Web devellopment.
Still, Fotolog is a great product with a lack of admin I believe. There should be a cure for GC`s.
I visited your new address. Looks good!
All the best to you

this is for your hubby, Pandarine



VOTE FOR KRABS!

http://www.fotolog.net/bravesfan/?pid=8845722

I agree with your opinion of fotolog

I`ve joined Flickr also

It always takes me a long time to get used to a new place

As soon as I learn my way around Flickr, I will be canceling my gold camera

I even got cable modem thinking that would help to navigate fotolog, but that was a waste of money

even cable modem cannot open a page that is screwed up, which most of fotolog is now, it seems


So I look forward to seeing you on FLickr!!

I joined flickr but I keep forgetting about it. Maybe I`ll see you there real soon too.

I hope to keep seing your nice pics by Flickr :)
I have not ben there much but I plan to make it better.. Greetings Panda!

I have a flickr account but I find it too confusing. Too many features, and finding the feature you need can take a half dozen clicks. I`m happier with fotothing.

Flickr is only confusing until you really try it, Jef. The admins over there listen to all our sugestions and react extremely fast - unheard of in Fotolog!

Maybe you should check it out again, it`s changed a lot. Your features are accessable from the bottom of every single page now :)

But I agree, Fotothing is not bad either. Again: it`s run by someone who listens and reacts. What more does one want?

Thought of you when I took this:

November 2nd:

THE WHOLE WORLD IS WATCHING

Watching what, my Fotolog? :p

It`s a pity your not among us anymore, we`ll miss you!

Don`t worry Hugo, I didn`t leave our beautiful world, I just turned my back on this pityful site! :-)

Hello, panda... how are you? Are you in Florida?
I want to build a website, but for a while, I´ll be around...
a big hug,
Bea.

Yeah, Pandy`s very much alive (and happily dredging up old posts on the EZboard to make wonderfully pithy comments)!

We love you Pandy! ;)

I`m with you, panda. My first year of gold camera is up now. I`ve taken the plunge and both my son and i have commited to flickr for a year. I`m, sorry to leave but I have no "patience" left.
http://www.flickr.com/photos/bosquetango/

Hey, you - just posted one to you. Answer on flickr if you want to, but don´t just drop the old hell hole.

Seems to be working OK on this end. Might they have concluded that Brazil is the solution after all, indeed (I love that word "indeed")

you will be missed. i find flickr way too slow. i have a site over at pbase, but will stay with fotolog until the end. my friends are here. best of luck... john/

Well, more than 300 of us (at this moment) find flickr a lot faster than Fotolog - leave alone all these little perks that make a photographer`s heart beat a lot faster ;-)

Most of my friends are over there now and the community is even more rewarding then it was here. Just my impression. Take care, John.

And in flickr I wouldn`t even have to go over to your place to tell you that I`ve answered you - and you wouldn`t have to look for the answer all over the place ... ;-)

well you know i`m at flickr but I can`t leave this place. although i have cancelled my subscription.

I can leave a messasge here, I thought your GC was gone!!??? Hmmm...... glad you come and visit Wolfy here, and Sunny also, and I am sure there are others too, that I don`t know!!

Yo Panda, daddy Leo has been way to bussy working, but we still miss you on this site. Stop being so German, come back, it´s fun out here.

Oh Hugo, if you only knew how much *MORE* fun I have at Flickr ...

Sure, Fotolog was good for a while. But Flickr is *MUCH* better in so many ways! Once you get used to it, you won`t turn back anymore - and close to 500 of the best Fotologgers can tell you the same.

I discovered RSS feeds (no more missing comments!), groups that actually don`t have porn in them on a regular base, I can organize my pictures the way I like them, I can assemble favorite pics of other people, I see exactly how many people visited each and every one of my pictures, I can backtrack my comments, I can send private messages, discuss, chat, comment without any failure at all - in short, I am completely happy with my new cyberhome!

I`m afraid you won`t even see this message, unless you come back over here and check. Oh my, I just now noticed how much easier my life became in the last 2 month. And in a way I am thankful that Fololog became such a nuisance - otherwise I would have never experienced how nice and free of frustrations life in cyberspace can be! ;-)

No, no, "Flickr is having a massage.
We`re closed briefly for maintenance." That was now! But knowing & loving you, I´ll try!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!
JOYEUX NOËL!
FELIZ NAVIDAD!
BUON NATALE!

I hope you have a really good new year.

Now that the major holidays are over, it`s time to renew, refresh, and make false promises to youself about diet and exercise.
