agnieszka bladzik I'm surprised it's 63, I thought it would be less

uglyphotos I thought it would be more... 😭

agnieszka bladzik I lost my optimism around tookapic long time ago ;)

Ola Less is more:))

Mariusz Kuberczyk 64 - I just uploaded my March images today 😉

jazzie I already had counted you ;-)

jazzie great :-)

Teresa What amazes me is that among those 65 people are people around the world. And I love to watch those pics.

Maciek Korsan wow 😳

tigg Really? Just 63? I find that quite amazing!

kazikowo 66! I'm just getting started, but I'm motivated 😁

jazzie Nice :-) Welcome!

Kazzi I'm back.

jazzie Awesome news! :-)

agnieszka bladzik <3

Magda Korzewska My first trip since 2016 I will not upload pictures on Tookapic. Feeling strange. I decided to cancel my subscription already a couple months ago. Can you give me one good reason I should renew subscription? (apart of keeping mt travel photo in one gallery? )

120mr It's a tough question. So many people resigned last year... I tried to but I couldn't find any other reason. @JarekB do you have any answers for @Magda ?

jazzie 59 have been posting in the last 3 weeks...

120mr :c

Ron Dadoo thank you for doing it, I was wondering the same thing.... it is not much...

Ron Dadoo a few days ago was the deadline to cancel my subscription(s), I was close to do it but I couldn't...

Natho HI guys,
I just discovered your app 8 days ago and I really like it. Of course 65 or so is not much.
Don t know how it was before.
I am trying to convince my friends to join.
I hope more people will join.

Lido It's great that there may be more of us. Regards.

120mr Hi! When there was more of us we more often talk to each other, there were photowalks in a few cities from time to time and a lot Weekly Theme pics. Also - constructive criticism of photos. It was super helpful. You can see glimpses of that here tookapic.com/galleries/1065-to...

Magda Korzewska @Satoshi should add this one to his gallery "tookapicers"

kazikowo Does anyone know how it looks like now? Is it better? Worse? ;)

jazzie I didn't count any more, it feels better, but that's a subjective impression!

kazikowo I think so too! That's why I was curious what it looks like in numbers. Did more people come or did they leave? I hope our community will grow <3

tookapic We have returning users, we have new users and we have leaving users as well 😜

As some of us upload pictures once a week or less not so easy to observate it. Number of uploaded photos on weekly basys is more or less stable with slightly possitive trend.
What is realy nice to see 4 new users uploading everyday @kazikowo @Natho @grzechu @m71 hope you will stay longer. Good to see people comming back after a while as well.

kazikowo Ok, I understand. Thanks 🥰🥰 It's good informations 😁

m71 I haven't thought about leaving yet 😇 😉

radzikmr Maybe 63... but how great? I'm back, so 64.

jazzie I tried to count once again. it's about 61 active users (how to define active... some people upload once a week or once a month ;-) ). It is nice to see that we have relatively many users who seem to be returning

tigg Keep thinking I will stop as I just do not have time to look at other journals. But it is a hard habit to break. And, it seems, quite a select little group.

jazzie Update: I think we're 80 users at the moment. Slowly but steadily it's getting better after a stagnation in summer. Some users don't post regularly, so I can not say how many we really are 🤪 @Bartek @jewels @m71 @pajonk @loocas @zlasu - you guys didn't post for a while, I miss you!

tookapic Yes it’s a pity seeing that some people stop uploading on daily basis. I hope some of those you mentioned will be back. @zlasu are back every 2 week. #swissgang need to convince @jewels to come back. Now we have @Manon back. @m71 was uploading on daily basis and now is quiet.

We have many new users with 10-30 days of projects which need some support from us as well. Also other users are back as @Aneczka @jkrym @div @radzikmr or earlier Michael Gatton, Seth, Andrew, Justyna Bem. Sorry If I missed someone, It is good to look not only on „following” page also for „recent” to see new/old people coming back.

@jazzie great you are into it!

Marcin K. „Recent” is new „following” ;-)

tookapic @Renata is back 🖐

tookapic And @rajmann is back 🖐

Phillip Flores I did notice he is back.

jazzie by the way, 76 or maybe 78 active users at the moment

radzikmr Jazzie, I'm basically repeating myself, but I'll write it again. Nothing will change for several reasons
1): - the service is definitely too expensive. Almost PLN 30, which is as much as basic Netflix, no support, no development, no future, forgotten place.
2) A brilliant but unfortunately hermetic environment of people. Basically, everything revolves around the oldest users who know each other. In my opinion, newbies get frustrated quickly.
3) No advertising whatsoever, no incentive for old users to catch new ones.
4) And finally, but not least, there is simply no one who would lead it with heart.

Estimated income of this service, something about 1500-1800 pln, I don’t understand new owner policy.

Rafal I was one of the old users for many years when Paweł Kadysz was the admin and it worked very well...I have met so many people with their talents for photography, I did four round and stopped...I see that this site stopped evolving...I was thinking few times about my comeback...but there is nothing new and fresh in this place....still nice people left in this community...some are familiar to me...but with any refreshment and revolution it will soon disappear...so sad...but right now people needs fast times...reels...instagram...etc...no advertisement will kill this place,...I think that many of you stayed here due to the sentiment to this place and makes their own galleries instead the other places....

Voytas hmmm this is not optimistic data....means that we are niche of a niche.
I don't know why I chose tookapic...is a lot of similar 365 projects :(
Without activities on FB and instagram will be hard to find new users... :(

jazzie I counted again because I realised that some users uploaded since wednesday. at least 84 active.
AND actually we have more than 10% of users who started around the beginning of 2024 and are still here and some more who started recently and still some that came back. I fear this list is incomplete, but please contribute if you know about others so we can maybe be especially encourage them to stay :-)

tigg this must have taken ages to compile.

vera Chers Tookafriends,
J’aimerais aussi vous laisser un petit commentaire. Cela fait quelques années que j’ai quitté Tookapic, car mon travail m’a demandé beaucoup d’énergie et je n’arrivais plus à passer le temps que j’airais voulu à poster des photos de qualité, commenter et encourager les autres au quotidien. La publication quotidienne d’une photo « du jour » est un concept génial, mais aussi exigent. Je puis imaginer recommencer Tookapic, mais en étant un peu moins investie… je suis en réflexion. J’ai tellement apprécié ce temps avec vous tous! Par rapport au nombre de participants à Tookapic, mon côté positif me fait penser que la qualité vaut mieux que la quantité… si on trouve une petite communauté qui est bienveillante et motivante c’est plus intéressant pour moi qu’une grande communauté indifférente. Mais tout ça c’est sans compter l’aspect financier qui porte un projet…

leszek55 Vera, ravi de te voir et de te lire à nouveau

tigg It is good to hear from you; and you are obviously still interested as you have read this ongoing talk and chosen to comment. Very wisely too. It is hard to invest the time, and not just take the "I am doing it for me and just posting my image" approach. I know I have been that person in times past, but I am now trying really hard to comment on a few images every day - especially on journals I am not so familiar with.

vera Merci Leszek!

vera Merci Tigg! Quelle endurance vous avez!

jazzie J'aimerais bien revoir tes images ici! Et bien sur c'est vrai que une petite communauté ou les membres se connaissent est tant mieux qu'une grande communauté anonyme! Il faut peut-être un nombre minimum de personnes pour que la plateforme reste vivante!

tigg wouldn't it be fun if we could have a big zoom/ms teams meeting - when we literally could all say hello to each other? just to re-light the community spirit?

Phillip Flores That’s an idea worth pursuing. The challenge will be finding the time but I think most of the people here are from Europe, the non-Europeans can just lose sleep :)

jazzie Oh yes :-) I love this idea! A virtual Tookameet!

tigg I had thought a European evening would be best

tigg Could be good .... need a technically competent organiser!
