Hey folks. If you haven't noticed, the Bike Photos thread has grown extremely large. It's a little hard to navigate if you're looking for a photo that was posted way back when. This gave me the idea to set up a photo pool group on Flickr where everyone could post their XSive photos. I got the OK from TC to post this here:
http://www.flickr.com/groups/yamaha_xs-xj11/
Now I know that a lot of you use photobucket and this is not a request to ask you to switch, but I looked into photobucket and they don't have a groups feature like Flickr does. A few other reasons to try this out:
[list=1][*]You retain control over how your images are used Photobucket doesn't claim ownership of your photos when you upload them, but their terms of service give them the right to re-publish, sublicense, and create derivative works of your contributions. Supposedly this ends when you terminate your relationship with the service, but if they've sub-licensed or created derivitive works from your photos how would you know where these end up and enforce your copyright?[*]Flickr gives you control over licensing On Flickr, you have the option of setting your level of control. You can declare full copy right or use any of the several creative commons licenses. You can also change your license at any time. Flickr is part of Yahoo! and their terms of service restrict their use of your contributions to your original intentions as an uploader. This also brings the next point...[*]You may already have a Flickr account If you were a member back in the mailing list days, you already have a Yahoo! account, which means you're already registered to use Flickr.[/list=1]
So I hope you check it out. The groups feature has a small discussion area, but I'm not looking to replace the forums. Discussion there should only be for discussing photo submissions. Let me know, for your conideration.
