We didn’t want to do this for a long time, but we are obliged to this now. From today, we will put temporary watermarks in these two posts: Daily picdump and These funny animals. But this measure is forced as we are tired to see how our efforts and work which we spend a lot of hours on is copypasted to dozens of other entertainment websites in minutes.
Watermarks are temporary. They will disappear in 24-48 hours, after the posts were added. So, those who are opposed to watermarks completely, can visit us a day after the posts are published. Then there will be no more watermarks.
Thank you for your understanding,
IziSmile Team
P.S. For the next series of Daily picdump send your photos at [email protected] or you can post them yourself on the site.
The best of the submitted photos will appear in the tomorrow’s series.

Izismile was my favorite because you didn't mess around with that, is it really that important that people can see that you had that picture on your site????
I'm sad now
:-(
NOOOOOOO!!!
I Agree With Culos,
Them Stamps Kinda Kill The Joy.
(honestly, when i saw the first picture with the stamp, i scrolled straight down without looking any further so i can comment this)
:/

Other sites are copying their posts DAILY and making tons of money off of advertising.
They come in every morning after the pics are posted here, copy out the ones they like, re-post them on their sites with THEIR watermarks and brag about how awesome their are.
They often even have their staff make some fake quotes like "My girlfriend took this picture this morning." and put them on the images they've stolen.
I'd rather see izi keep the watermarks so they can keep doing what they do best. Screw the other sites!
at NORM,
I don't going to 'other websites'. I go to this website. your reasoning makes no sense. the watermark is BAD.

The watermarks are TEMPORARY, tomorrow - after tomorrow they'll be gone!
If you don't want to see the post with watermarks - come here in a day.

Respect!
It's ridiculous, it's far too big, and since you're not the first site to post them what's the point?
Seriously, take this out or i'm done with this site...
What an awful Idea...
It's similar to what Addic7ed did a few days ago to prove their point.
Good luck then!
Yeah?! We are the first to post every daily picdump on the net. Chech your information, buddy )
As you wish. Go and find our picdumps elsewhere.

Ok, Fine... I understand your needs. I don't mind watermarks but they was so big! Why didn't you post this link: https://izismile.com/2010/12/06/watermarks_on_izismile_why_where_for_how_long.htm
On the start of the post or as a first comment? Keep up the good work, I might send you some photos one day.
For one thing, 95% of the images posted on here are taken from a multitude of other sites.. So neither Izi nor any other site (unless the person that took the photo uploaded it to the site) has NO claim whatsoever over the photo.. So tagging them is stupid.
I can use the StumbleUpon add-on on FF in the morning & by about 2:30pm, I see the exact same pics/vids uploaded on here.
Now, into the bic dump :
The #3 is the offial miss france show which was sunday, and the woman at the left was the one elected miss france 2011. That's kinda nasty to post only a photo of a stupid face, she is beautifull when she isn't making faces ! lol. Although miss Languedoc seem way more beautifull to me but i'm not deciding here.
I just want to say you are the best funny site I ever found, I look the new post every day since I found you (the french site before this one), and watermark or not, thank you very much Izi for all the pictures and videos yous share with us =)
PS : I've certainly made some english mistakes, sorry, I'm french ...
Thanks for the great collection.
Izismile, your posts always make a long day better. Thanks.
This was such a fabulous site, but the huge watermarks now ruin it all for me. The point is: You get your pictures from other sites that don't use watermarks and watermark them as if they were yours - which they aren't. So be fair and let the pictures remain unmarked.
this shouldnt be temporary
i hate seeing the same picture groups you guys put up two days later on t** c***e or something
keep up the good work guys!
Come off it - all of the pictures here come from other sites to begin with...
he's climbing in your windows, he's snatching your people up
na na na :)
it is not logic.
:(
Especially seeing as nothing on this site EVER references or credits the sources. It's abit rich of you to be claiming other people are stealing 'your' pictures.
You didnt take the pictures, isnt it? So why mark them ?
Go to the jungle you dump & Speak to your self!
A little touchy there big fella?....lol
#32 ia a real WTF???
But you also could add the link to site where you found the pic, cuz we want to save some of them.
@Izi: those who are opposed to watermarks completely
can visit us a day after the posts are published
Case Closed!
Love you Izi!
that website was awesome i was going there everyday, but sincerely those watermarks really ruin the whole website.
i'm very sad :((

I also think it's a bit rude that you're doing this to stop folk stealing pictures from your site when you're stealing them from other sites yourself. I don't care how much bloody time you spend looking for them, you really don't have the right.
1.) They spemd a lot of time compiling the images. They aren't claiming they own the images. But they spend HOURS collecting them. Then other sites come along (same day) copy the images, post them on their sites, use their own watermarks, ans IZI gets fucked.
2.) If they were just showing 1 image at a time like the cheeseburger network, then that would be different. But we come here for the 'collection'.
3.) Everyone whining and bitching about the watermarks and having seen them images on other sites should probably just go there and view them. Stop wasting our time your your stupidity.
I would hate it if I dug through thousands and thousands of images to put together a nice collection every day and have some douchebags like those at thech!ve pretend they did it. Let's face it, they're ruining it for everyone.
