Insomnia on Flickr

https://www.flickr.com/photos/culturevg/

To submit images, post them in this thread: http://culture.vg/forum/topic?t=3715

Make sure to upload them to my server with the attachment feature at the bottom of the post box. If the forum is giving you trouble for some images, hotlink them with the img tag and I will upload them to the server manually and edit your post accordingly, but always try doing it yourself first.

I will credit all contributions with the person's name in the image name.

This thread is to discuss the Flickr account, its setup etc., and also whether it would be best to move to Instagram or DeviantArt or some such other site. Before I made a decision, I googled Instagram vs. Flickr vs. DeviantArt and came up with this:

https://www.reddit.com/r/photography/co ... something/

Not many replies, but Flickr seems to be preferred. I tried DeviantArt for a few minutes and the gallery looks like shit. Instagram was my first option because of how popular it is, but I tried to register the culturevg URL that I also use for Facebook and Twitter, and got it, but there was a kind of snag, and though I got the name I didn't manage to create an account lol. So now the name is "taken" when I try to create the account. But taken by whom? I am the one who took it! But Instagram doesn't have an email address or phone number you can reach them, and people recommend you try to nag them on Facebook or Twitter lol, so unless their website is considerably superior to Flickr's, I am not going to go to all that trouble. From the little bit that I have used Flickr I am happy with it, and since those dudes in that thread recommend it too, I will stick with it unless someone here makes a strong case for moving to Instagram.

Another option is to install some gallery software on Insomnia, so that the whole thing will be within my domain. I will look into that this week. If it's anywhere near as good to browse as Flickr I will prefer it.
