We all know that Lise Gagne is on the verge of 1 million downloads on istock. I thought Yuri, at 860,000+ was second, but the istock contributor charts shows two mystery people above him. One is obviously lise. So who's the other?

ETA: After the server problems istock had a little while ago a couple of contributors were reporting that their stats showed millions of downloads. Perhaps one of those has gone unrectified. Or maybe I'm missing someone obvious.

Probably bimbim.

Thanks Sean, that's probably who. Just a bit odd that she's chosen to go incognito in the chart, most people haven't. Not that the chart is complete either.

Or perhaps Annie has joined istock to help out her debt situation.

Perhaps most people haven't, but a seemingly large number of those on the first couple of pages have. Seems pretty obvious why...

Indeed, but in the case of bimbim she hasn't really had 16,000,000 dls, and isn't 'really' on the first page.

Except that all istockcharts does is skim the actual page, so she would show up there.

When someone started a thread on istock about her 16 Million downloads, she was on the first place on the charts, and she wasn't anonymous. Cool screenshot to have, if she took one.

BTW, I suppose it's due to all the other problems istock is having right now that her profile page is still showing the 16 Million. Also, I like the fact that she started a thread in the help forum herself.

Not complete but shows over 90% of the photos and contributors. Just like a survey or poll, you don't need 100% to get an accurate view of the contributors. For all we know, the missing 10% are members who never passed the test.

#1 is Lisegagne, #3 is DNY59, the last two missing from the top 10 are 9 = spxChrome and 10 = urbancow

Not that anyone cares, I'm in the top 18000

Middle number of downloads, which would be half the contributors, not by number of downloads, is 100. That means Half of 29404 contributors have over 100 downloads (cashed for sure) and half do not, which means maybe never claimed anything yet. No way to know for sure, but rough figuring that's a good percentage.
