RE: Crosville Club
There are 164 pages nearly all of complaints on Flickr's forum now. Flickr claims it is "listening" to the concerns of its users, yet there is not a single reply to any of the forum posts several days after it was launched.

Pretty appalling arrogance if you ask me, and this is why I miss Fotopic so much. When it was still a family-run business, Fotopic's customer service was second to none and they'd respond to concerns/complaints/comments quickly and even had a live chat room for this purpose. Flickr, by contrast, offers at best very poor customer service indeed.

A lot of the comments are likening it to the New Coke fiasco, and while it's a little melodramatic, I see the comparison. A tawdry new look, liable to stay, while Flickr's faithful users are well and truly shafted. I've found a couple of decent alternatives to Flickr now and it won't be long before my photos leave the sinking ship.
