Ensemble ...


Je fais partie de ceux qui ont fuit flickr en 2013 pour venir s'installer ici, étant arrivé à la conclusion qu'Ipernity était la meilleur alternative possible sur le marché des sites de partage de photos.

Cependant, aujourd'hui, en 2015, j'ai l'impression qu'Ipernity ne fonctionne plus aussi bien qu'avant. Depuis le début de l'année, suite la migration dans le cloud, deux articles seulement ont été publiés par l'équipe, et aucun des membres de cette équipe, à l'exception de Julian, n'a publié sur la plateforme qui est la leur.

Sur le Web, l'équipe semble encore plus absente, n'ayant publié aucun post sur Twitter ou Facebook en 2015, le compte Google+ semblant avoir disparu également.

Je suis bien conscient que parfois, quelque soit l’enthousiasme, la somme de travail que l'on puisse mettre dans un projet, il soit impossible d'atteindre le but fixé, par manque d'énergie ou de moyens financiers.

Est ce ce qui est en train d'arriver à Ipernity? Il serait bon que l'équipe nous tiennent au courant de la situation, quel que soit la difficulté de l’annonce, il n'y a pas de honte à dire que l'on essayé, persévéré, mais qu'au final, le projet à échoué... Je n'en ferait pas le reproche à l'équipe.

Par contre, il serait très regrettable qu'ayant atteint un point de non retour, le groupe se refuse à communiquer sur l'état du site, et qu'il laisse ses utilisateurs actuels ou potentiels dans l'ignorance de la situation.

Si vous partagez mon point de vue, ou du moins certaines de mes préoccupations, et que vous aussi, vous désirez connaitre le futur d'Ipernity, alors, je vous prie d'ajouter l'image ci dessus à vos favoris.

Cliquez sur la petite étoile maintenant afin de braquer le projecteur "Explore" sur ce qu'un Anglais pourrait qualifier de "an elephant in the room"* - que je traduirais approximativement en francais par "se voir comme le nez au milieu de la figure".

* l'expression "elephant in the room" est un idiome s'appliquant à une vérité évidente qui est soit ignorée, ou laissée dans réponse. L'expression s'applique aussi à la résolution différée d'un problème évident, ou un risque dont personne ne veut discuter".

Me too ... and notice interesting comment on the main picture has now
been removed ... ;-) that was posted late yesterday evening ... the account
seems to have been deleted also ... perhaps there is someone back
taking a look at things, I hope so.

If you mean the one from that lovely chap called Benton Mitchells, I blocked him Bev when I saw his foul-mouthed and unnecessary rant. As I understand it that then automatically deletes his comments from any of your images as well as taking your images out of their faves.

As for the account having been deleted, it's possible he deleted it himself after he'd used it to have his little bit of fun!

yes indeed that was him ... I blocked him too ... but ... I suspect he is still here with
another name, hiding behind it ... why ...? because (hands up) I replied to him and
gave him a piece of my mind ... and then thought ... this is going to distract from the
whole purpose of your picture ... and I did not want to do that ... because it was just
very very negative and rude stuff from him ... so I deleted my comment ... but within
minutes ... ;-) someone came onto my photostream ... with a new account ...
headed straight for me ... ;-) had visited no one else ... (lucky me) and then went
again ... I blocked ... but they are still there ... I suspect this person plays stupid
games. But he had also ... as you will have read ... referred to the the spammy
groups ... that you had posted your picture to ... and referred to the seen in 4U groups,
well ... I reacted because ... first of all ... I do not use the word "seen in" ... as you
know ;-) and seen in 4U groups ... nope ... not mine .. as you had said about
removing comments or links that were left ... because that is not what this
picture was all about ... so I did not invite ... so he was objectional and having
a knock ... who can it be ...? well I still have the other person blocked ... me thinks
they could be linked ... possibly .... but also ... interesting to see who HAS NOT
supported you ... ;-) ... as they say ... actions speak louder than words don't
they ... ;-) keep going .. I have a feeling staff maybe there !

I suspect that what B M is doing is changing the displayed names of the account ... which is why it doesn't appear (apart from the disappearance caused by blocking). When I went for a look - and found zero public images, I also noticed the no of visits was in the region of 35,000 - these things, apart from the trolling comment - made me very suspicious.

Hi Bev
I wanted to send you a private message about this "gentleman" with the interesting opinions, but the system refuses my request to PM you.

Must admit whilst I've been delighted to see over 170 people add the 'elephant' into their faves, I can't understand why even more people haven't shown their support. All it takes is to click that little star and job done as we Brits say.

Is it that they don't share our concerns, are they really happy to just wait and hope, maybe they just don't care (particularly if they've never been Club members) or maybe they don't want to be seen to take a stand?

As I say, difficult to understand! :(
