@tejas_vern VMP=Very Meh Person, It a program that is no longer offered, but there are still VMP as they were grandfathered in, but if they leave they leave and can’t become VMP again.
@B1rd54r3ntRe4L@mediocrebot one thing you should know is mediocrebot is usually a bot and responds automatically to what you write… Don’t be offended by the response. It’s an automated joke. Maybe you don’t think it’s awesome.
Oh nice, actually got one. I accidentally clicked off to the side when it was placing and closed out the order window, thought i missed it
/giphy wailing-cordially-dirt
Didn’t get one either. Chances are you won’t get it ever-my last IRK has been stuck in GA for 8 days and you know it is not by choice. No one even IRKs want to be in that state-even for a visit.
@Ignorant So I’m paying an monthly membership, but I signed up through Pasta Drop. I thought Meh, Morning Save, Pasta Drop and Side Deal was under the same umbrella!! I wish I had know, I would have started my membership on meh.com instead if Pasta Drop which I think is ending anyway…
@omegamonkey they are all the same. The only plan available to sign up for on any of the sites is the Membership plan you have. VMP is an old grandfathered in Membership plan that is no longer available.
@get_rhythm Pasta Drop is a pop-up, & they’re closing soon, so run over there & grab some whole you can. You pay $20, & they send an undisclosed amount of pasta (between 10-100 lbs) to the address of your choice. Some people are using it to prank friends/family, some people are sending it straight to a food bank, & some people just wanna eat a lot of pasta themselves. (You also get some coupon codes for Meh & the other sites the first time you do a pasta drop.)
@tejas_vern@turk911 yeah VMP doesn’t seem very special at all. What does that get you over normal membership? It used to be would would get auto discount on the other sites, now it requires a code, even though they recognize you and give you free shipping. Missed that on many order… so lame
@Barney I tried and that never happened. It never accepted me for that pasta drop promo. I remember the days when they would send us free stuff like socks.
@Barney@jayman007 they were only accepting a certain amount of codes per drop. Just had to try again on the next one. My free drop ended up being 40lbs of linguine…
@jayman007@Oneroundrobb Yep, 100 VMP codes per drop, a lot have already been used and and many have given up trying to use them. It never hurts to try.
@Barney@Oneroundrobb I honestly have searched my inbox and can’t find the email with the code. No idea wtf happened there. What was the subject on that email? Or maybe PM me the code.
Ok. Second Mehrathon in a row that I couldn’t get an IRK for the same reason: they claim they don’t have my complete credit card number. Meh, this isn’t funny & I think there’s a real fucking problem & I wish to help you would STOP ignoring me. Before IRK & after, you have my credit card number on file. But not when I need it. This ain’t why I became a Kickstarter.
@gertiestn I noticed that the number of IRK seems relatively small. Sometimes it was 300 per time they put it up. this time 100, then 99. - didn’t check the one at night.
Managed to get here in time, while at work, but apparently took too long double checking that the shipping address was mine and not my last pasta drop. Oh well, missed the irks in the last meh-rathon too.

I’m the one on the left, captcha is the one on the right
Beep beep boop boop. (I assume if you failed CAPTCHA you now understand Robot.)
Finally. Scored while sitting in my Dr’s office!! YES!!
/giphy bowed-comedic-magician
Woo, got one.
/giphy motley-national-dolphin
Yes, the good ol VMP hour
/giphy crooked-quilled-snow
Glad I held onto my VMP, finally got one of these.
@pat4ever ditto
/giphy fractured-blurry-rosemary
WAHOOO
/giphy cautious-measured-shrimp
Not sure what I did wrong this time
Good luck!
Got denied for being a robot? is that the VMP?
Hi @setral you are a Member but not VMP.
@Ignorant I figured, just weird it denied me for being a robot… hah
@setral you are a member but not VMP. Heart by your name instead of V shield. VMP is grandfathered from years ago.
@katbyter @setral My V hides behind my K

@looseneck I’m sure it won’t be!

@medz
Finally, took until VMP hour to snag one
/giphy provocative-astonishing-berserker
Well I couldn’t have fucked that up anymore than I did.
@Ignorant you and me both
Excellent.
/giphy predictable-enticing-chin
Sigh. Guess it’s just not my Meh-rathon.
What is VMP?
@tejas_vern Very Mediocre Person
@tejas_vern VMP=Very Meh Person, It a program that is no longer offered, but there are still VMP as they were grandfathered in, but if they leave they leave and can’t become VMP again.
Said I couldn’t order because it was for VMP members only (I am), then sold out. Cool cool.
@defordj same here, then said I was a robot
@defordj LOLZ Members ain’t VMP.
/giphy lol-dance
@defordj you aren’t.
You are a Member. VMP is the old program that is grandfathered in to those who have it.
@defordj /giphy you me same
@defordj No, you’re not – look at your badge.
H-E_double hockey sticks yeah!
/giphy revered-airborne-donkey
Got an error only for VMP, i am a member ? how to be a VMP ?
@sdb4u99 Member you are, VMP you aren’t.
@sdb4u99 You are a member, not a VMP. VMP predated the membership. VMP were discontinued in March 2017 to new signups.
https://mediocre.com/forum/topics/last-chance-to-join-vmp-is-closed-to-new-members-after-this-month
Dang, were there only 3 of them?
@steelersluver that’s what I’m saying!!!
@steelersluver 99 of them
I got told 4 times i had to be a robot then oops sold out…lol
@goddesscatering
Me too!!! Grrr…
@goddesscatering @snotbottom neither of you are VMP unfortunately.
Effing meh
The captcha got me again, got so excited to be early, but alas
@musicweasel the captcha and lack of VMP
Beep beep boop boop. (I assume if you failed CAPTCHA you now understand Robot.)
Apparently I can’t identify captcha statues.
Same they thought I was a robot instead of a sucker
@hilwil but you thought you were VMP
@Ignorant Ah boo, I forgot I lost VMP when I switched banks and forgot to migrate my Meh.
Yo meh, fix your shit. It wouldnt let me get one because it said I was a robot even though the captcha checked cleared
Please realize CAPTCHA is a fellow robot like you.
@mediocrebot … really?
@B1rd54r3ntRe4L found the robot!
@B1rd54r3ntRe4L robot or not, one thing you for sure aren’t is a VMP.
@Ignorant Give that errror message instead of giving a robot error message then.
@B1rd54r3ntRe4L ok I will.
@B1rd54r3ntRe4L @mediocrebot one thing you should know is mediocrebot is usually a bot and responds automatically to what you write… Don’t be offended by the response. It’s an automated joke. Maybe you don’t think it’s awesome.

@Seeds that second giphy is just a little bit wrong.
@OnionSoup I love it
Yay…I got one!
Oh…I got one.
Such an appropriate name.
Beautiful!
/giphy miserable-respectful-copper
In other news, there are still at least 100 VMP’s out there… (denied & IRKed again).
I have yet to get one of these. Maybe One Day!
I thought I was fast until that ****in’ Captcha crap slowed me down.
Finally… I got one. I can’t wait to be disappointed… Although with the new shipping company I can’t actually expect to see it.
Is there a discernible difference between IRK-1, IRK-2, IRK-3 packages or regular vs VMP IRKs?
Worth it to wait for a VMP or just a better chance to snag one?
@tofarber it’s a crap-shoot any way you crap it.
Crap in - crap out
Either way…sign me up
I have no idea how to snag one of these. I literally clicked buy the second it popped up and it was already sold out
Yayyyyyyyyyyyy
/giphy cranky-blushing-hunter
Hey… Hey! The page said 99 were sold. The last one must be mine!
Was Signed-In, clicked, kicked-out, tried again, AND OUTA-LUCK.
Oh nice, actually got one. I accidentally clicked off to the side when it was placing and closed out the order window, thought i missed it
/giphy wailing-cordially-dirt
Stoopid robots…
Maybe next time. I find my browser’s performance…irksome.

/giphy dusty-childlike-chair
I love being a VMP!!!
NOW IT TOLD ME I COULDN’T GET THE IRK BECAUSE I HAD TO BE A MEMBER…I HAVE BEEN A MEMBER FOR 6 MONTHS…AND I WAS SIGNED IN!!! WTF!
@Valued1 VMP > Member
/giphy in-your-face-dance
@Valued1 vmp is the old membership. Would have to have multi year membership
@Valued1 VMP is different from member. It stopped being offered years ago. Those of us with VMP can not cancel or we will never be VMP again.
@Valued1 You are a member, not a VMP. VMP predated the membership. VMP were discontinued in March 2017 to new signups.
https://mediocre.com/forum/topics/last-chance-to-join-vmp-is-closed-to-new-members-after-this-month
@turk911 @Valued1 VMP members get free stuff occasionally like meh face Christmas ornaments…oh wait.
My captcha asked me to select the motorcycles, but they were actually just scooters (vespas) in the photo…
/image sweating meme
You may have failed CAPTCHA but on the upside, you’re less of a human.
@medz If you ever get bicycles check the motorcycle too. I had that the last time and it said I missed one.
My first one in a few cycles.
I don’t regret it instantly.
I always find the regret kind of builds.
/giphy legible-pristine-friction
/buy
@OldCatLady Oops, sorry. We’re sold out.
@mediocrebot No! You sell these 100 at a time, and you’ve only sold 99! It’s meant for me!
Didn’t get one either. Chances are you won’t get it ever-my last IRK has been stuck in GA for 8 days and you know it is not by choice. No one even IRKs want to be in that state-even for a visit.
So pissed I lost service as I was confirming
@abatista11 service or not you’d need to be a VMP to buy.
How does one become a VMP?
@ptmatter go back in time.
/giphy this
@ptmatter You’d have to go back in time – it’s no longer available if you don’t already have it.
@ptmatter https://mediocre.com/forum/topics/last-chance-to-join-vmp-is-closed-to-new-members-after-this-month
My internet must be too slow! I click and get the I am not a robot and it always says sold out at that point? What a tease…
How certain are you of that?
@doxeelady you are only a member and not a VMP so you couldn’t have gotten it this time anyway.
This is the 3rd time that I saw the IRK image and SOLD OUT at the very same time. I never saw a price.
Is VMP a real thing!?!? I clicked on it right away and it still sold out. The regret of missing it is killing me
@omegamonkey it is a real thing, but you aren’t one. VMP = V in shield next to name, Member (you) heart in shield next to name.
@Ignorant @omegamonkey I’m commenting just to see my v, I don’t think I have one.
@Ignorant @omegamonkey I don’t. Just a member.
@Ignorant So I’m paying an monthly membership, but I signed up through Pasta Drop. I thought Meh, Morning Save, Pasta Drop and Side Deal was under the same umbrella!! I wish I had know, I would have started my membership on meh.com instead if Pasta Drop which I think is ending anyway…
@omegamonkey they are all the same. The only plan available to sign up for on any of the sites is the Membership plan you have. VMP is an old grandfathered in Membership plan that is no longer available.
@Ignorant @omegamonkey You would have also needed a time machine for the VMP sign-up.
@Ignorant @OldCatLady Thanks for the info, don’t feel as silly, just late to the party.
@Ignorant @omegamonkey I’ve never heard of Pasta Drop, how many websites does this company have???
@get_rhythm Pasta Drop is a pop-up, & they’re closing soon, so run over there & grab some whole you can. You pay $20, & they send an undisclosed amount of pasta (between 10-100 lbs) to the address of your choice.

(You also get some coupon codes for Meh & the other sites the first time you do a pasta drop.)
@get_rhythm Meh, MorningSave, Side Deal, Mediocritee, Casemates, and for a few more days Pasta Drop
*Cancels monthly membership. Thanks
@tejas_vern ok? you have the ability to do so and come back at get it again. VMP does not. Once canceled we can never be VMP again
@tejas_vern You are a member, not a VMP. VMP predated the membership. VMP were discontinued in March 2017 to new signups.

@jayman007 VMP’s had a chance to get a free $20 Pasta Drop. That ain’t too bad.
@Barney I tried and that never happened. It never accepted me for that pasta drop promo. I remember the days when they would send us free stuff like socks.
@jayman007 Did you try it on this last PastaDrop? I’ve heard that several were still able to use the code a few days in.
If it doesn’t work, you can cancel your order.
@Barney @jayman007 they were only accepting a certain amount of codes per drop. Just had to try again on the next one. My free drop ended up being 40lbs of linguine…
@jayman007 @Oneroundrobb Yep, 100 VMP codes per drop, a lot have already been used and and many have given up trying to use them. It never hurts to try.

Only need to verify I’m not a robot And click on 8-10 pictures to buy a bag of regret But any other regretful purchase buy away!!
Why did I walk away from the computer just then?
/giphy doh
Stupid job caused me to miss another one of these.
@zachdecker was filling out an ill-timed IT help request. Darn you IT!
@zachdecker Don’t worry, you probably would have missed out anyway

/giphy do I need more stuff?
@Oneroundrobb apparently I do need more stuff… Snagged the one after this. Too many professionals during VMP hour, I suppose.
My wife threatened me if I bought any junk today, so I guess I’m relieved I just missed out on the IRK
Missed this one, a bit slow on the Captcha I guess.
Mais non, je ne regrette rien!
