Funny cause Paulie’s been more active the last day or two than normal and it caused a brunch more for Storf to deal with. I wonder if Matt is about to “what would ya do” them…. Storf’s official line is they are working on a communication for everyone not just discord, which is you know what they’ve been asked for repeatedly… why you have to stop what you are currently doing to achieve that is beyond me…

They should think about having their own forum. We have people here who did it in a couple of days when... oh nevermind.

Sometimes when all your communities keep becoming toxic to you you’ve gotta ask, was it ever the communities that were toxic?

I don’t think the Discord has gone to toxic levels. This all adds up to what VMP should be doing:
-Improving communication with members
-Drawing in new members

If there’s less of a focus on Discord going forward, it’s because it was not helping either of those initiatives.

When you said ‘when all your communities become toxic’ I assumed you meant Discord was one of those communities as you replied to someone who was referencing activity on Discord. Apologies for the misinterpretation.

I was referring to VMPs history of burning down communities because they’ve decided that they’ve become toxic when in fact they never were, it was always certain VMP staff members themselves that created that environment.

Barter 6 (2nd Edition)

Back in 2016, we put out the first ever Young Thug vinyl, his classic ‘Barter 6’. To make sure you don’t have to pay $500 for it, we have it here in a limited-time only repress. We’ll be making this to its demand, and then never making it again.

So....are they just accepting numbers up until the preorder date? I don't get it.

So, D’Angelo was supposed to be an open order too but then they announced a number and said it was close to selling out. TLDR: I don’t think they even get it.

I mean, not like I'm going to order it, sadly all vinyl budget is going towards our condo purchase for the foreseeable future, but it's super confusing to me. So run 1 was limited, run 2 is unlimited until they say so?

It actually makes sense. They had an open pre-order for a certain amount of time, then when VMP went to the pressing plant they chose a pressing quantity size offered nearest to their open order amount (because the pressing plant isn’t gonna press like exactly 1,341 records that were pre-ordered but they may offer a nice round number like 1,500 instead). Then whatever extra ones the plant would be willing to press were made available until it sold out.

To my knowledge, you can order how many you want. My guess would be 1500 was the next threshold.

All I’m saying is open orders have an end date not a quantity decided upon later. My theory is it didn’t sell as quick as they thought it would and decided to create a bit of fomo.

The feeding frenzy over the initial run of Frank Ocean’s Blonde was you had a two day window to order and that was it.
 
If we’re talking about D’Angelo when it first went up for sale someone in discord asked how long it’d be available as an open pre-order and Storf said something like “we have to put our order in with the plant in two weeks if we want to make the September release window” so probably after two weeks they determined 1,500 would be the closest threshold to meet and it went from “open order no quantity” to “1,500 to sell out” which it did about a week or so later.

I imagine Barter 6 will be handled in a similar manner.
