R.I.P. VMP Forum

[AnthonyI]

when they shut down the first one they said they were revamping the forum and would open another one.

Well at least we know what they did with more time

I don't know why I was feeling "nostalgic" for this today, lol

They were hoping we would all forget that.

What would you do with more vinyl forums anyway???

I mean they probably just realized that they didn't need to do it since people on reddit were essentially modding a forum for them for free/ they never planned to bring something back.

for the shitshow they are , reddit ended up being pretty friendly to them and they found enough people that will defend them all the time.
i havent checked for a while though.

Like many other subreddits, it's full of people who either LOVE VMP and think they can do no wrong, or people who absolutely despise them. It was good for finding out about new releases but outside of that, it's not that great.

Moderators have definitely laid down ground rules that eliminate most of the negative chatter, so it's a pretty VMP-friendly environment overall.

Hard pass.

There was a ton of Storf slander (with 100+ upvotes) in the post about his announcement that Amileah was taking over, so he's not viewed too highly I'd say.

Definitely saw that this morning.

The fact that they've banned all Vinceron talk is interesting.

Also it is legitimately funny that Storf can’t even announce someone else’s promotion without tooting his own horn.

It's exhausting when someone decides they need to be their own hype-man.

 

[johnpisme]

Wait they aren't really making a new forum are they?

I love the "don't cross the line in here" post, stickied above the top voted post calling Storf a ****. Like...I'm really confused about where the line is???

Think it was just a joke because they axed the old forum because it didn't align with their aesthetic and that a "new and improved forum experience" was on the way. That was nearly 2 years ago now.

 

[LiamGallaghersBucketHat]

Where is Storf going?

Where is Storf going?

He was promoted to director of Classics and Country (2 separate things I believe)

I haven't been following the VMP saga for quite a while now. Seemed highly unlikely, but you never know what dumb shit those people may do. I still remember the end of the VMP forum like it was yesterday.

I thought he was already in charge of Classics and Country, though?

In my experience if you can’t do your job they move you sideways, give you a title that strokes your ego and pay you more money.

This tempted me to peek, and omg, hahahaha, that's super embarrassing. He could've communicated most of that info in a way that centers Amileah, but nah.
