  No, this is the first I've heard of it. I'll take a look over the weekend. First glance it actually looks a little more...artist-geared? than what I use Flickr for. I'm not even close to a professional or advanced amateur photographer. My Flickr feed is a mishmash of things taken with my phone, my point 'n shoot, some photos I've put effort into and some that I've not. I like the community on Flickr (there are a lot of other people in the asian ball-jointed doll hobby there, and probably a good 75%+ of my photos are of my dolls), and the ease of just uploading handfuls of photos at a time and grabbing the BBCode to post them on forums without having to host the images myself. I like that I can feel like I can throw anything up on my Flickr stream, and then selectively share the ones I think are good with related groups, and not have to overly curate what I upload to only my "best" shots. The only thing I really feel I'm missing from Flickr is more advanced permissions. The 'guest pass' thing never seems to quite work for me when I want to share a photo only with specific people. I usually wind up marking the photo private and sending the person a direct image link.

    Off-topic but can you post your Flickr link. I'm curious to know what a "Asian ball-jointed doll" actually is.

      ABJDs are highly customizable dolls, generally made from hand-cast polyurethane resin, and, as their name implies, usually from companies based in Japan, S Korea, or China, and poseable thanks to their ball-joint and elastic construction. http://www.flickr.com/photos/cowpewter/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/cowpewter/ It's basically all dolls, cats, occasional garden photos and random sketches.
