DA is a gfx community, and frankly I stopped using it after so many "non gfx" users started to sign up and populate the site. It does look like myspace alot these days, hehe... Anyway, so you think stockvault would become better if I implanted a profile system where users could upload and share their images much like sxc.hu and deviantart?

People love to decorate there myspaces with photos. The problem you are going to have is accesibility. Most myspace users don't have the technical expertise to resize photos, upload them to a webserver, etc. If you could create a myspace friendly code snippet copy & paste system, then you might have some success with your stock photos. You could even take that one step further and have a code snippet that creates myspace templates/backrounds out of your stock photos. That might be more trouble, but it also might be worth it judging by the(little, or no) competition out there. I disagree with the other Johnathan.

I guess you are right about that, maybe a separate project would work better? Thanks for the comment Johnathan. I guess you are right about that, maybe a separate project would work better?

No. As a MySpace user and graphic/web design and photographer, that would be, in my opinion, a waste of time. It sounds like a good idea, but there really isn't a big enough fanbase for such a thing on MySpace. No. Honestly.
