ARGH, are the meh servers on fire today? 4th time the page wouldn’t even load for a whole minute, then the message that ‘a lot of people are ordering, please retry’, then sold out.
New rule: if a member tries to buy an IRK during VMP hour they are banned from purchasing for a week. If they ask in the forums why they can’t buy then it is a life-long IRK ban (tied to IP address)
You assholes, especially @onionsoup are why we experience the green bar of death.
@KNmeh7 Yeah all those members clog up the site loading for the VMP’s. Just ban them from trying for any more irks for the day. Meh isn’t going to cut off its nose to spite its face and cut off them from buying something else.
@Kidsandliz Nice reference. I was being facetious. But, seriously, every time a member says “I pay for VMP and it wouldn’t let me buy” I die inside. I could comfort myself with all the other free perks we have been given, but what comfort would that provide?
@arbdef@KNmeh7 So how long have you been VMP? Those socks were from really early on. I have a pair somewhere or other (men’s socks are too big for me) I can send you for postage.
Here’s my haul. Discovery Flex Tech Buggy, Tudia Window Mount, Dorcy flashlight and 3 pack of Geek Tek Diffuser Filters. And of course the best grocery go getter bag ever! I’ve got like 4 or 5 and they are perfect!
Man, this was so close… screen did an odd cut off after I clicked to buy… where I could not see the bottom half, then the captcha went red, I clicked it again, but could not see anything below it. Finally, I got confirmation. Awesomely stressful.
Well, fudge. Took almost two minutes to load and then said it didn’t know what item I was trying to order. Probably the one item you had for sale at the moment,
@durkzilla@PastaDrop Again with the member vs VMP discussion. Member is not VMP, VMP is no longer open for new users and you had to be grandfathered in for a while now.
Wow, mine has shipped already. Way faster than I was expecting. I won’t get to savor the regret as long this time! I know it’ll probably be coming by rabid mule, so it’ll take a while, but still…
Mine also arrived today: Diffuser filters, set of full size sheets, a handful of watch bands, gift bag, and led flashlight along with the irk bag. Flashlight should be decent.
Ah its good to see they got the VMP thing fixed from the last Mehrethon. I didn’t contact customer service because I didn’t expect one so soon and now I didn’t get an IRK. I’ve been an VMP, except for one week, since day zero. This is ridiculous.
/giphy insane
@oldguybob you’re just a regular member. VMPs got grandfathered in a few years ago and you must keep paying every month or be kicked out forever. Is it worth it? Probably not.
@mandofreak yes, it’s a different mehmbership. no longer available to join, darn it. if you were a Vmp, you’d have a little V in your icon instead of a .
@mandofreak do you pay $4.99 or $5? Vmp members pay $5 and has been long grandfathered. You would see a V next to your name in here, not a heart. Members are different than vmp.
Yup. Shoulda known when the damn phone wouldn’t even load the damn page. I guess I’m out of the running for a IRK for a while now. Stupid having to be at work and having crappy service.
@anrivero@FreePasta@Kyser_Soze@ManBehindPlan wth?!?! My name used to have vmp by it but now it says I’ve been a member since 7/2019 but I’ve been paying monthly for years. I wonder when & why it went away
@anrivero@FreePasta@Kyser_Soze@ManBehindPlan@RiotDemon I got an email from 1/2017 saying I’m VMP. Before I’d cancel to save the $5 a month & then join again when I’d go to buy something but the last time I went to cancel it said if I did I wouldn’t be able to join again because they weren’t taking new people anymore so I stayed. If I was previously VMP & have made payments every month without an issue, would it have still been cancelled? I guess I should message customer service to find out what’s going on with my account
@Trufs if you didn’t cancel, then there was probably a problem with your credit card on file and they couldn’t put the payment through. You can try writing to support.

@gheldean My page didn’t load until it was sold out.
Why am I always so upset when I don’t get the box of trash?
@matttt FOMO
I’m only disappointed that the servers didn’t fully crash for an hour like old times.
@sjohannes Ah, the good old days.
@sammydog01 @sjohannes They upgraded to four Raspberry Pi’s for their server farm.
Aww, no love for former VMPs or kickstarter people. Thanks a lot @OnionSoup.
Site wouldn’t even load…:(
@billlbo me neither until it was sold out
@shyxgrl I got same message.
Even as VMP I still got screwed on this one.
@jayman007 still way too many of us. Need to start culling the herd.
@jayman007 @katbyter That’s all the instruction I needed.
You guys gotta get rid of that stupid reCAPTCHA. Has failed more purchases than it’s protected against!
Beep beep boop boop. (I assume if you failed CAPTCHA you now understand Robot.)
reCaptcha came up for me. Clicked on the stuff. Hit buy button. Waited. Waited. Waited. reCaptcha expired. Sold out. bummer.
You may have failed CAPTCHA but on the upside, you’re less of a human.
@kphilippe Happens all the time, and to me once again a few minutes ago
@kphilippe same thing happened to me. Captcha good. Green bar at the bottom kept going til it timed out. Sold out.
I installed CAPTCHA to save my fellow robots from wasting money on this crap.
Took forever to even load the page and it was already gone.
this is a standard IRK BOC FUKU complaint.

@Kidsandliz @KNmeh7 Hey we got free socks… and and and…
@arbdef You got free socks? Fuck. They really do hate me here.
@arbdef @KNmeh7 So how long have you been VMP? Those socks were from really early on. I have a pair somewhere or other (men’s socks are too big for me) I can send you for postage.
@Kidsandliz @KNmeh7 Thanks for making me feel old. I actually have like 2 or 3 pairs of those socks. They were actually legit.
I’m a KS and (still) VMP member, but I was happy enough to bag an IRK at noon and let the rest of you have a chance at 4…

I tried for the IRK of it all, even though me not VMP.
@cfg83 You can’t win without trying.
site wouldn’t load, refresh, sold out. ugh.
is the website having issues? Its so slow and stalling out. I keep missing out on these.
Meh, what is wrong with your servers today?
Even as a VMP I couldn’t get one… YAY! No regret! No PB! No crap!
Dur, I’m a mehmber, not a VMP any more. I wondered why it was working so well for me.
placing the order took so long to process that the reCAPTCHA timed out

I installed CAPTCHA to save my fellow robots from wasting money on this crap.
Grrrrr. Captcha, twelve green bars, “boy these are selling fast,” another Captcha, more green bars, then sold out.
And it was even a VMP Irk! Argh!
Please realize CAPTCHA is a fellow robot like you.
Maybe reset your Captcha settings to NOT need double authentication? That’d be great…
You may have failed CAPTCHA but on the upside, you’re less of a human.

Nice, got denied as the deal is only open to VMP customers. I’m paying for VMP. Maybe I shouldn’t be.
@durkzilla hovering over your K I don’t see VMP
@durkzilla
You’re a mehmber, not VMP.
@PastaDrop Ah, I guess I’m missing something then. I thought that by paying the extra $5/month you get VMP…
@durkzilla @PastaDrop Again with the member vs VMP discussion. Member is not VMP, VMP is no longer open for new users and you had to be grandfathered in for a while now.
@dzieciom @PastaDrop Hardly a new user. Kickstarter backer… Just stopped paying $5/month because I bought less than 1 item per month.
@durkzilla @PastaDrop I don’t mean new in the literal since I did see the K, but not possible to rejoin or join as a VMP again.
@dzieciom @PastaDrop Thanks, I get it now.
@durkzilla That makes you the smart one. I don’t even want to add up the VMP cash I’ve spent.
Dec 2015 a VMP member. Site won’t load. Then captcha. Then verify. Then sold out. Uggh
Another green bar. At least I didn’t click on two minutes too late like every IRK last go 'round. Got past captcha twice now. Honing in for the win!
Please realize CAPTCHA is a fellow robot like you.
@mediocrebot that’s twice now

@willdavi Actually it’s a penny a month difference. Do you remember when a penny would buy a gumball?
I tried buying one but it kept saying I wasn’t a VMP and then it sold out - is VMP different from normal membership? I’ve been a member for years now
@mandofreak yes, it’s a different mehmbership. no longer available to join, darn it. if you were a Vmp, you’d have a little V in your icon instead of a

@karma2u yeah - the rush is really in the buy, not the contents -
bah
I’m on a roll. I think this is like 3 months straight with one and this was the latest in the day I’ve gotten one in a loooong time.
I’m a VMP subscriber but it gave me an error saying I needed to be VMP to purchase, then I hit buy again and it said sold out. Unfortunate.
@andresrivero nope you are a member, not VMP.
@andresrivero https://meh.com/vmp
@andresrivero
VMP has a V symbol.
Mehmbership (the current one) has a heart.
You have a heart by your name, not a V.
@andresrivero @FreePasta @ManBehindPlan Look next to my name and see the “V”. It shows I’m an idiot for wasting money for so long!
@andresrivero Your comment will not age well, methinks
@anrivero @FreePasta @Kyser_Soze @ManBehindPlan wth?!?! My name used to have vmp by it but now it says I’ve been a member since 7/2019 but I’ve been paying monthly for years. I wonder when & why it went away
@anrivero @FreePasta @Kyser_Soze @ManBehindPlan @Trufs probably went away in 6-2019.
@anrivero @FreePasta @Kyser_Soze @RiotDemon @Trufs I went digging in my email - VMP was terminated on 2017-03-01. See here: https://mediocre.com/forum/topics/last-chance-to-join-vmp-is-closed-to-new-members-after-this-month?mc_cid=55dc65c617&mc_eid=03b30a3fd6

The numbers per irk are so low it makes it really hard to get one.
@arbdef How many are released with each offering?
@arbdef @ironcheftoni 50 or so. You can see the number sold on the product page.
@ironcheftoni @sammydog01 which is low as generally they do 90-100.
so this was a VMP exclusive… sorry i missed it. but since this is a Day Zero celebration have there been any kickstarter exclusive rounds?
@Noddy93 Nice try…
I think the whole point of the IRK is for meh to save on their garbage bill. We give them $5.00 for them to ship their garbage to us. Awesome.
POPSOCKETS! SPA KITS! POLLY POCKETS! AWESOME!
Of course this came up while I was driving home from work. Not that the Brin Page Corporation would have let me buy it anyway.
I am still hoping that a Glen sticker will come up for sale again since the last one was during my 3 hour sleep window.
