I joined fotothing over a year ago. I love taking photo;s being able to post them and meeting new people who have the same hobby. The thing that bothers me about the site is they tell us not to post nude photos. I have to admit some nude photos are art but then some are just gross and not at all pretty to view. I cannot understand why they allow some of the photographs of nudity on the site its not art its trashy porn and i do believe some posted are doing it for shock not because they are avid photographers. I have seen racial slur I have seen photos that shouldnt be there and it seems to me nobody is looking after taking care of that part of the site. When i complained to one person that they had trash garbage posted they told me to lighten up. Its not a matter of lightning up its a matter of leaving trash like that in your own personal home and not displaying it on fotothing. I am the first to admit I love nudity if its done properly but what i saw was simply disgusting. There is far too much of that thing going on, on that site.

Hi Dom, Looked at your site a few months ago, but really didn’t have the time to uphold two sites , but now a perfect oportunity for new members……fotothing going down and no explanation…pity, have a lot of friends on the site. But have now joined fotonomy and find quite a lot of friends already on your site…
Will still keep trying fotothing and if nothing happens……will spread the word of fotonomy…….regards Joan..

Hi, Dom,

I googled fotothing to see whom I could contact to find out why I haven’t been able to access the site (for a couple of days now); in the process, I discovered this post of yours.

I will check out fotonomy.

Best regards!

Hi Dom,

It would appear that there are signs that FT is going going gone…

Sad really as it was a good site. I was just about to start contacting all my friends directly and it went off line today.

Regards,

Ralph (Biggles)

Unfortunately due to the restraints that have been put on the chap whos now maintaining FT alot of the fixes are not being fixed.. the promises fail to appear and the same few idiots scream and shout in the forums driving out, there has been talk of closing the forums for a while to stop the “pack” mentality.
I was in talks with their staff a while ago about improvements to the site and maybe going in a similar direction to redbubble with a few funkier tweaks, its been a while since i have developed a web site but these talks were nearly a year ago now and nothing has happened.
FT could be a profitable site for both those wishing to sell and for advfn they are obviously all developers and not business people lol

Yeah, it is down, but there was no warning or any explanation. You would think that they would have a backup server to simply inform users of whatever problem there is. Not knowing is frustrating.

Hi, Dom. I like your photo website as well as Fotothing, but I too haven’t seen anything that allows me to stop the ads.

I’m sorry they are threatening you, but as long as there isn’t anything in your messages that are blatantly untrue, I’m not sure there is much they can sue you for.

You fight the good fight, Dom, I joined in with a photo of my own:

It’s getting a bit odd there.
