Vinyl Me Please Essentials

I'm new, not mad about anything, and love everything I've gotten so far. That would be a deal breaker for me.

I’m not new, was getting frustrated when they annihilated the forum, haven’t rated their picks since March and think we give them far too much free space on here. That said I still intend to dip back in if they release something I want.

Sure but how are you going to know when to dip? Just exclusives and left overs?

If an exclusives/classics is announced I want I’ll resub for three months. The non jazz classics are usually a safe enough bet to rely on even if the essentials has been poor. I can even then use swaps to catch up on previous months stuff that I’ve been 50/50 on since I left.

I thought the premise was around no announcement. I hear you though.

This is kinda off topic but it really grinds my gears that Storf etc are so active on Reddit, a "community" of mostly total strangers, but they felt the need to destroy the old forum with two days' notice for some reason.

The forum nuke was the worst, but I don't put that on Storf. I'm glad he's continuing to post guess threads/stock checks in whatever fashion his crappy bosses allow him to.

Yeah, that's fair. I'm not mad at him so much as I'm mad at the core concept of totally blowing up an existing community then just moving to another one that is (no offence to Reddit) way more open to assholish behaviour. Meh. I'm just bitter.

Have you been watching Storfs slow descent into madness on Reddit? He's getting more and more agitated by the assholes there. What's the over/under on him giving up on posting to VMP Reddit altogether. I say 5 weeks?

My advice to the folks at VMP............stop thinking only NON members are the issue. I still can't wait to see when, and more so, IF they open a "members only" forum thinking that's going to help. But I digress............moving on, lol

I wish that they’d learn two things. That people don’t just complain to moan, they often complain to help make things better and that weird or different often doesn’t equal good.
 
If anything causal fans care even less about the litany of excuses from VMP, like those about licensing fees. Seriously nobody outside of obsessive like us cares about the minutiae of the business, just the end product which for a lot of exclusives is lacking.

Sounds petty, but I feel slightly vindicated when casual fans on reddit get pissed when they realize the results of the cost cutting too. Hopefully they will start to realize it’s not just an “anal audiophile thing” instead of just lumping us all in as “haters.”
