R.I.P. VMP Forum

I think we International members did well out of the shipping process as well. It was consistantly about 10 days from notification for me. And they appeared to ship fast as it was going overseas. My guess is they bundled all overseas shipments in one lot and sent to saddle creek separately. In fact it was only my first shipment (that just didn't arrive) and one or two others in 4 yrs that i had issues with. I think longevity with the product made me a little ho hum. Im gonna stop talking about them soon :)

This is another really good point. Compared to a lot of domestic customers who frequently suffered shipping woes, I pretty much receive my stuff a clean 10 days after shipping which is what I expect for international delivery. December just passed was the only real oddity on that front. So consequently, I haven’t had a steady grinding down from issues that so many domestic customers have and that I totally understand.

This was another big plus for me.Postage was relatively consistent (although I did have 1 package a few weeks back that took 3 weeks longer to arrive compared with other London based members) and most of the time it was cheaper to buy from vmp and have it shipped over compared with buying it straight from my local shop.

Another big purchase I took advantage of was the Kanto YU6 speakers. I couldn't find them in matte black anywhere in the UK and VMP had them cheaper than anywhere else I could find. On top of that shipping was free, and it would have certainly cost me a considerable amount from anywhere else.

I just saw this on Twitter:

I got one of these messages too, last week. First time I've gotten anything like this from Discogs. But I already *have* this record. And if I got it because it's an "artist alert," well, the only reason I have that artist associated to my collection is because I HAVE THIS RECORD. Seems like a weird artist to test this feature out with.

Did anybody else get one of these?

I got one last week too! I had no clue what it was and just deleted it.

I best not get another from Voldemort Me, Please or I will email them @info so fast!

I had one on my phone until today, i clicked on it and stared too long. It turned white. I think it was nuked ?
 
Since I was away I've been researching the surprise attack and subsequent death of our beloved forum. I read that the CEO of VMP went to the forum and when asked about the extremely short notice responded with "What would you do with more time?" is this true. No way he actually said that...

I believe that response is what led a lot of people to quit VMP altogether, those who did can chime in of that indeed was the case

My "Main" reasons:
  • Veiled attempt at suggesting the pause was for a "Better Forum"
  • "What would you do with more time?" ...........insert www.needlesandgrooves.com here.
  • Irritating comment #2 - "We value the community"
  • 48 hour notice
  • and my number one reason, because I actually thought for a moment it would make a difference - an ignored emotional plea by @mcherry
Update: My last point stands corrected, although to the community it did look like it was ignored. Yet, even after that plea behind closed doors or not, nothing changed.

What was the plea? This gets worse by the minute. I mean I liked a l ot of the people that work there but CEO (Tyler?) Sounds like a blue ribbon asshole.

Man, I don't know if anyone saved it. But lets put it this way, it made me tear up and it being ignored completely was insensitive in my opinion.........to her of all people.

Right, she was like the backbone of the forum. It seems they've turned into a souless exclusive/ color variant machine, like Newbury. I guess I was dumb for hoping they would stay the same...
