The site owners are not passionate about ship spotting. They just trying to gouge more money hence the constant irritating ads and new website. The old website was 100% ok. I hate this new one.

Indeed I do notice that the number of views is low but is the new website now so bad to handle that members stay away?

The navigation is clunky and the site doesn't look interesting.
I used to spend plenty of time looking around on the old site but after a just a couple of minutes on the new site, I've lost interest.
That's why the number of views are so low.
The new site design, just isn't interesting.
It's just not a step forward.

I used to spend easily an hour a day on the old website looking at all that had been posted for the day. Now I spend 10 mins with the new site and I've had enough for the day. I've just lost all interest because if the new site. Byeee.

I really don't like the new shipspotting look. I think it's a step backwards. I've been a member here for many years and used to look forward every day to check out the latest photos.
Now I've lost all interest. I couldn't be bothered anymore to pop in. I'm sure I'm not the only one that feels like this. Should of kept the old shipspotting format. Now it's not nice anymore.

RIP Ken

You knew the balance of fun and work here at Shipspotting.

You were simply the finest at getting the balance right.

Im using old XP and Avast is my Anti Virus.

I use Firefox to browse this site.

Never a problem of any kind ever.

Maybe I'm just lucky.

DE..quite possibly. Why though...too ambitious?

God knows. I wish him luck. The wheel turns. Slowly for some and quickly for others.
But it keeps turning. Do unto others as you wish them to do unto you.

And that all should remember.

God Bless Ken. Never met you but respected you. Not one photo deleted or posted...just respected you. Never dealt with you but still respected you. Call it gut feeling. Never been wrong.

God Bless,

Here is how it rolls...

I am not a Shipspotter. I live far away from the sea. I visit Shipspotting to view and appreciate the masterpieces that members post here of beautiful ships. All the time and effort and the waiting and patience and the dedication to perfection.

A labor of love.

I am full of nonsense...but I do know one thing...nothing out there touches Shipspotting when it comes to bringing out the very best in a photographer..hi resolution and the beautiful photo/s shown to the world in all their glory.

Sure, I am getting tired of Shipspotting hobbling along. I want to see this place up to speed again. I have a big mouth but I cannot really help.

I wish I could though

Hi all
While this site is currently unavailable for uploading ship photos there are other sites including:

http://www.vesselfinder.com/

 

Had a look there....no hi rez like here and generally wasting a good photographers time.

I will stick it out until Shipspotting is up and running properly again.
