Whatever. I'm not turning this into Flickr is dying or Flickr is the new hipster site. Time will tell on that one. A lot of people are going to ipernity.com, btw, if anyone wants an alternative. I was hoping they'd come here but I guess Pbase isn't as well know and Pbase doesn't have groups like Flickr.
This whole thread started because someone left because they thought Pbase was passe now.
My point is I really hope that Pbase doesn't make some kind of huge and drastic change. Pbase doesn't have 8 million users like Flickr and they can't take the hit of people leaving the site. There has been deafening silence from management for quite some time. The last time this happened they rolled out the new editor. Which actually was a good thing. I just hope they learn from the outcry at Flickr that people do not like change. In particular, change that targets a small portion of the user base and makes the site a ugly mess for everyone else.
I still say Pbase looks so refreshingly clean after looking at the new Flickr and maybe it's become so retro now, the look is in again. I don't know. It is just a lot easier and more pleasant to view photos here.
And like everyone, I hope the current issues are cleared up. And I hope Emily communicates again at some point too.
