Lack of New Pins on PinPics?

Has anyone else noticed that PinPics has been getting slower and slower to update with new pins? I know most of the pins are generated by users, but they haven't even uploaded the last two HotArt releases... Anyone have any thoughts or insight? I've had to keep a running list of pins I've bought but can't add to my PinPics collection.

I think they're just a little low on people authenticating entries right now..... maybe it's because they're working on the new website? Not sure that will be coming anytime soon though....

I heard a rumor that there could be a change in ownership coming to pinpics. If it is true it could be a positive, someone who is involved now but not in the enter circle. This is just a rumor so do not burn the messenger.
 
They have added some new ones, but the 101 Dalmatians Pop-Up Book for some reason is still not on there. You win some you lose some it seems.
 
From the few communications I've had with Pinpics, I get the impression that the need for the pictures to be on a white background, affects the speed at which pins are added to the database, because someone there spends time whiting out the picture backgrounds.
 
I am trying to help the other databases... its really an impossible task, but when I have a moment I try to pitch in. These are where I focus:
Welcome to Pin Trading Database
Collectible PinTrader

The top link . . . If you get an account there, can you do the same lists like on PinPics? Like marking owns, trades, and wants?

One thing about PinPics, though, is that most people don't respond to you when you send a request or message.

Yup. Works very similar. You can also finetune your wants a bit - Anywhere from "Barely Want" to "100% Desperate".
 
I'm a local to WDW and go once a week usually so I can definitely help! Do you happen to know how updated it is? Is it missing older pins/just has new pins mostly?

Primarily older pins, but we are missing some newer ones as well. I try to keep up to date with the releases on the flyers, but, as you know, they release pins that they don't post on the flyers too!

When I start going through my pins I'll photograph some of my older ones for you , I added a lot before I figured out how to take decent pictures . Hopefully my new camera will help too :)

You can always replace the pictures of the pins you input into the database. Just let me know and I can delete the old ones :)
