haha, yeah, i felt kind of weird taking pics of high school guys with their shirts off, but they’re probably all over 18, right? right??

Have you checked the stock photography sites to see how they price licenses? I took a quick look, but the ones I checked required registration to get prices.

ooo, no i haven’t. that is a good idea, thank you!

it’s for jackson hole mountain resort, which also happens to be the company i work for in an accounting capacity. the cards are strictly gift certificates, so you give the cashier, say, $50, and the mountain makes $50.

i got $100 for them to use it all last winter. i think that’s pretty *barry white voice* looooooow.

so…..yeah. i’m clueless. i like the idea of tripling it though – i was sort of thinking between $250 and $400 for another year’s use.

i also like the idea of one beeeeeeeellion dollars.

Thanks so much for your input.

my pleasure – sorry i don’t have actual numbers for you; i’m not very good at pricing my stuff either.

[monkeybort]

i have no idea what to charge, but i know $40 is not enough. are you selling them all rights, forever and ever? that means you can no longer publish or sell it to anyone, and they can do whatever they want with it. if you’re not selling all rights, is it a limited or unlimited use? you could just sell it to them for that one specific project, and if they wanted to use it for something else they would have to contact you. and is there a time limit? as in the montage will be up for a specific amount of time? or is it indefinite/open ended?

all of those things should play into how much you charge them.

schnee i don’t even know were to begin with the accounting of how much ass you kick. thank you so much for doing this for us!!

I am interested in Screaming In Digital‘s idea of the new contest site. what is this worth1000 that people are comparing it to? i especially like the idea of no one seeing entries until it goes live – that would definitely even the playing field as far as vote timing goes.

as far as multiple contests via fark, i probably wouldn’t have time to do two separate themes every week, what with wedding prep, moving, audit at work, etc. if there’s interest though i say go for it.

well, it looks like veruca is going to post a poll – there’s not much else we can do as we don’t have any sort of mailing list set up for forum members, and a lot of people participate in the contests that don’t come to the forum at all.

i say let’s see what the poll reveals and go from there.

I’ve noticed that as Farktography participation has grown, the number of non-entry comments in the thread has appeared to decrease. I’m a bit saddened by that.

some of that relates to a modding smackdown from a while ago – the Fark mods deleted almost all of our chatter from one contest and a lot of the regulars got disgruntled as a result. of course, that also led (in part) to the birth of this forum, which we had hoped would take the chatter from the threads and incorporate it, plus the farktog tech talk etc.

the banter hasn’t *quite* made the transition intact, but i think it’s brought the group of us together in a way that just the fark thread would not have.

i’m thinking that trimming things now leaves room to grow for number of people participating of course..

i don’t understand what limiting submissions has to do with expanding our participation base….maybe i’m missing something?

[monkeybort]

I may complain that my post is far down but I will also say I need to get a TF subscription, hey it keeps the website running right? I think the only thing that would be good would be to delay the ability to vote until a majority of the photos are posted and if you post after that well too bad.

well, once a submission is greenlit and the time is posted, voting is disabled until it hits the main page. sometimes this happens within 10 minutes of the link going up, sometimes it takes a couple of hours. regardless – a lot of people don’t vote until the next day anyway because they like to see everything before voting.
