See… members started getting added in when people complained. Maybe enough of us vmp’s can complain and we can get our own hour again. Make meh mediocre again!
@f00l I mean. I really miss the old antics. I see this as a maturing platform more similar to a woot than meh was. Sure there are more options with morning save but it’s becoming more woot less meh the more I see it. I’ll go weeks without even looking at the site where as when it was new and there was more unique things- I would be anxious to check at midnight daily. Now it’s like. Eh if it’s still around when I look and it’s decent I’ll buy.
@Stumpy91 me I have about 15 of them… I bought them for the next snow storm that hits Texas. I also randomly hand them out to people. I’m told if I get more I’m in trouble…
@chellemonkey@railek Actually toward the end of the day it got easier and I got one-you should have kept trying. Not sure for the reason for that but never had gotten an IRK with as little as 32 offered (40 was my previous low for getting one). Think all the expert people had gotten theirs and IRK were available to us slow pokes.
@chellemonkey@Felton10@railek I tried…and tried and tried and tried. The closest I came was three green bars. But I know I don’t have the reflexes I did when I was younger.
I think they should reward our cultish following even as we are not longer almost guaranteed an IRK (something I didn’t even know about for a hell of a lot of my VMP) by allowing us to grandparent in on the tattoo IRK.
That’s right. Let us pay even more money to yet further demonstrate our devotion, oh divine leaders!
@njfan@pooflady@sammydog01 vmp was the old membership. You cant get it anymore. I know it costs a penny diffence but i cant remember the rest of the benefits
@njfan Exclusive deals used to be a VMP (V in a shield icon) thing but now they’re open to people with the current membership (cute little heart icon). Hence the gnashing of teeth.
I don’t see any icons next to your name. Should be a football in a crown from last year but that’s not up to me.
I have gotten so complacent due to the delays in my ability to even connect to this site, that I never even peeked at this site yesterday. I’ll keep my membership as long as I still find a couple of items here or on the sister-sites to justify the monthly charge, but even those are becoming less interesting - the last few Casemates offers that I would have bought, weren’t available to ship to my state. Diminishing returns, I guess that’s part of the business plan now.
/giphy old fart
Back in my day, I was younger. And prob stupider.
On the second issue, still struggling.
See… members started getting added in when people complained. Maybe enough of us vmp’s can complain and we can get our own hour again. Make meh mediocre again!
@sohmageek
I would like “the way things were” also, but that might make this place only kinda faux-mediocre.
Hmmm. Not sure that’s a gain.

@sohmageek
Actually, I agree with much of that.
But things change …
@sohmageek I still think there should be a Kickstarter hour.
@f00l @sohmageek who can’t use more Mophie power banks?
@Stumpy91 me I have about 15 of them… I bought them for the next snow storm that hits Texas. I also randomly hand them out to people. I’m told if I get more I’m in trouble…
I told myself if I didn’t get an irk this time I was canceling my VMP
I didn’t get an irk
@chellemonkey I was considering the same but then I managed to get one. And there was one item worth buying also so the free shipping paid for it.
But I miss VMP’s being a particularly separately extra mediocre class…
@chellemonkey I basically quit trying. Haven’t scored any this year.
@chellemonkey @railek
So you tried your best
And you failed miserably
Lesson: never try
/giphy homer simpson
@replicacobra excellent comparison

@chellemonkey @Felton10 @railek I tried too… and was unable to get it to load properly.
@chellemonkey @Felton10 @railek I tried…and tried and tried and tried. The closest I came was three green bars. But I know I don’t have the reflexes I did when I was younger.
@Felton10 @railek tried all day still didnt get one
@chellemonkey @railek Was just lucky I guess.

I miss the IRKs for VMPszzz.
I thought it was for VMPs. I got the error I couldn’t purchase because I wasn’t a member. Am I not a mehmber?
@njfan Looks like your mehmbership lapsed. Better get right on that.
@sammydog01 are VMPs and Mehmbers different? I thought they were the same?!
@njfan They are different and you’re not either.
/giphy sucks to be you
@njfan @sammydog01 How are they different?
@njfan @pooflady @sammydog01 vmp was the old membership. You cant get it anymore. I know it costs a penny diffence but i cant remember the rest of the benefits
@chellemonkey @pooflady @sammydog01 apparently one benefit is exclusive deals. Thank you!!

@njfan @sammydog01 I think the K supersedes the VMP.
@njfan @pooflady K is the top in status, just not benefits. You guys get nothing.
/giphy you get nothing
@pooflady @sammydog01
We Ks were promised gifts of great wealth.
@Barney @pooflady
/giphy UNFAIR!
@pooflady @sammydog01
As @Carl669 would say (and I hesitate to try this)
/giphy Fuck
@njfan @sammydog01 Well, that sure sucks. I never canceled anything.
@pooflady I peeked, you’re still VMP.
@chellemonkey @njfan @pooflady @sammydog01
Nope you don’t have a bad memory… nothing to remember now.
I tried all day and didn’t get one, said I was number 26 when I went back and looked so why didn’t I get it?
@Star2236 What said you were number 26?
@sammydog01
When I clicked back on the page like everybody says to.
@Star2236 So looking at the number sold? I would be surprised if that was updated instantly. @Shawn would that work or is there a delay?
@Star2236 delay of 30-60 seconds
@shawn
Ok that’s why it said I was #26 but it was sold out?
