I totally forgot it was a Meh-rathon today. (Despite the fact that the meh-rathon song was stuck in my head all day, should have been a clue.) I wish the VMP bonus hours actually worked after a meh-rathon.
@Knightp I can relate. Of all days I actually missed entirely. Typically I have an end of day mental exercise where I test myself to see if I can remember the deal of the day… I didn’t do the mental check until 15 minutes after Tuesday’s deal posted. I had been good for 335 days…
Every Mehrathon is a reminder that as a VMP, I am being scammed to think it matters.
We know you’re done sending us socks. We know you see us as a profitable relic. But maybe just let us compete against other profitable relics, instead of continuing a pretense of value while treating us like fast food employees in the worst country competing to serve fast food.
@brainmist How many of you can be left? Seems they could send you a $6 random mediocritee shirt. Or print you one that says VMP or something, since apparently the screen printing happens in the meh warehouse.
@gt0163c But Members can come an go as they please. We are permanently dedicated and not some wishy washy girlfriend that just uses you for your socks.
@yakkoTDI You’re definitely right. But Meh seems resistant to giving us back our VMP hour. We could have demanded an all VMP Mehrathon in the hopes that we’d get VMP hour back (the old “ask for a baby brother and maybe your parents will get you the dog you really actually want” ploy). Or we could suggest a compromise where both parties gives a little and everyone gets something they want. I doubt it will work, but I’m not home enough to take care of a dog (and I’m pretty sure my parents have no desire (nor ability) to give me a baby brother).
And make it at least 2 hours later in the day. Or even first hour. Perk for watching the turnover. I don’t stay up always (east coaster if we want to open that can of worms ) but better time for me to peek. Everything is all about me, right?
If they were going to bring back VMP hour, they’d pretty much have to also make it possible to become a VMP, but that’s been closed for an Internet geological epoch at this point.
@f00l They get that from us lowly “mehmbers” who pay a penny less; if we cancel now, shipping goes up a dollar, so it’s essentially the same thing as VMP without the paltry advantages you have.
I do feel like vamp’s are just neglected too. It seems that mehbers are the the new hot thing but I’ve paid for vmp for a long time… I even forget about meh for a few months. That’s free $5 for nothing.
How much sold during VMP hour the last time it happened? That might be the issue, if the only thing that sold out was the IRKs and other stuff they make no money on after free shipping costs.
Hear, hear!
They had VMP hour today.
@PHRoG
*Member hour

@Knightp me too. Last time they did. This time I didn’t see them in the thread.

Let it be so!
A splendid idea!
Ugh, please.

@brainmist Huh? Every time I order, it ships free, and that adds up.
Please Please Please
What about a compromise of VMP half hour and Members half hour?

@werehatrack No they wouldn’t have to open it back up, they already have some.
Why would they pretty much have to.
That seems presumptuous
Reward the starting backers and be happy
I really suspect they want VMP to be a thing of the past…
@Kyeh
They hate getting $ they hardly have to do anything for?
/giphy meh smirk

@f00l @Kyeh Plus VMPs are whiny.
@Kyeh @sammydog01
We have our special talents, yes!
/giphy whine whine whine
I still think there should be a Kickstarter hour.
@heartny I missed kickstarter by an hour
@sohmageek That’s incredibly sad.

@kevinrs So they have a VMP half hour with a couple of irks only then… reward for being a VMP for a zillion years.
VMP’s are 3rd class citizens around here…don’t hold your breath lol.
