Shut the fuck up and quit your bitching
37Not everything is for everyone. Meh is what it is, and unapologetically so. What it is, is very clear and has been from the beginning. A daily deal at 12 AM ET. $5 shipping or a $5/month VMP. A community forum. That's it. End of story.
You people are like the self-centered assholes that move into a community famous for its spring and summer music festivals, knowing all about said music festivals, then campaign the city council to restrict them because you don't like the noise and traffic. I believe I speak for a lot of others when I humbly suggest that the town isn't for you - the world doesn't revolve around you - quite the opposite. There's the door, let it hit you on the ass, or not, as long as you use it.
Meh isn't for everybody. It's for those willing to log on at a specific time to see what the deal is. Maybe try http://www.hsn.com/ if that's too hard?

Some of us were here for the beginning, and are sorry to go. Even the forums have changed to just trash talking and not open communication. This is the start of the end. How long before this site gets sold off like the other, after all it is no longer about the experience. It is only about the $$ and bottom line.
@derek17j "It is only about the $$" And you know this because..................?
@derek17j Bye-bye. Go bitch someplace else.
@derek17j I think you are conflating "trash talking" with majority disagreement. From what I can tell the communication is pretty open. You post what you want, and people respond to it, mostly negatively. No ones posts are getting deleted or buried. From what I can tell, most of the people here, including myself like it the way it is. And nothing irritates people more than appeal to authority. Saying you've been here from the beginning like that entitles you to something is irritating. The only thing it entitles you to is a longer meh streak, which btw you don't have to show up ate midnight to click...
@derek17j You were here from the beginning? Where's your K badge?
@katblue well the actual beging was too early for him and all the K's were sold out.
@derek17j A song for you.
@derek17j As a Day-0 backer, and a working East Coaster, I'm come to terms with the fact that I shouldn't be up 7 days a week to 12 AM. So, I carefully pick & choose the days to stay up for- current Monday night (Twofer Tuesday!) and Thursday night (because it's Friday mostly). I check in the morning when I get up on other days, and if it's still there, I look at it and make a decision. Hopefully you enjoyed this insight, if not, I blame @joelmw for your lack of faith.
@dashcloud
We should petition the city council to restrict the noise and traffic in these forums.
@neuromancer Meh isnt a democracy, its a supreme DICKtatorship with @snapster as its superme pizza leader
@communist I always pictured snapster as a large hawiian with extra bacon.
So much drama, so little cause.
@kr1sk so much drama in the LBC, kinda hard being meh snoop d-oh meh meh
@pmulry Christmastime is the best time in the LBC
Thank you. Sometimes I'm awake to log on, sometimes I'm not. If it sells out, oh well. It's not like Meh is selling us food and other necessities we can't get anywhere else.
If Meh were to change the times it would only piss off other people. When I get up at 6 AM for work I don't even check any text messages until halfway through my morning (9/10 AM). I am not a morning person. Never have been, never will be. If things sold out by 6:30 EST, I'd be the one seeing the "Sold Out" message. And if the people at Meh decide to change it, OH WELL. IT'S ALL STUFF I CAN LIVE WITHOUT.
Meh, congratulations for selling out of things. This business model obviously seems to be working.
Bitching about bitching. Meh.
@walarney Is just as bad. But bitching about people bitching about people bitching is perfectly fine with me.
Complaining about missing the sales on this site is tantamount to complaining about the big box stores' 5am limited inventory Black Friday sales. Do these people write letters to the big box stores demanding they hold half of the sale inventory until July so it will be more convenient for them to shop? No, they know the rules of the sales and abide by them just like they should be doing here. If you want the Black Friday deals, you have to get up early, stand in the cold and hope they don't sell out before you get in the door. Same rule applies here. If you don't want to be waiting at the door when the new item goes on sale, don't complain that it is sold out.
@hallmike actually some of them probably do write those letters sadly enough...
@Headly I fear you are correct and it saddens me.
@Headly Wait - I'm not sad about you being right, I'm sad over what you are right about.
@Headly Letter writing is a dieing art, we should encourage them.
I think the only good way to handle this issue is to make everyone unhappy by having a random roll-over time for a week- you'll get to wait for a new product for possibly much longer than normal, and experience heightened levels of disappointment when the product turns out to suck.
In addition, if the product is really good and sells an hour after it goes live at 4 PM, East coasters will have something new and exciting to bitch about!
@dashcloud I think the only good way to handle this is to abolish time zones. And daylight savings time. And cows.
@madamehardy
Survival of the fittest. If you want awesome deals, stay up or wake up to get them. End of story.
Irk,
Grant me the serenity to accept the roll-over time which I cannot change,
The stamina to stay up past midnight ET,
And the wisdom to know that no one gives a crap about my self-entitled bitching.
@Zebra whats on the slab?
@Headly Meatloaf of coarse !
Even though I have to get up early every day to take my kids to school, I still manage to check Meh at midnight every night because I don't want to miss out on deals. It's important to me so I make the choice to stay up and check it out. Other people choose not to make that choice and then bitch here about the consequences of that. This is what's wrong with society today. No one takes responsibility for their own choices. Meh is upfront about their business model; nothing that goes on here is secret. If you don't like finding sellouts when you finally get around to visiting Meh each day then you have two choices. You can either come here at changeover or stop coming here at all. There's obviously enough people here who are willing to show up on time to buy the deals. For the rest of you, shut the fuck up.
Seriously, what am I missing here? Is it because some people don't like the products? Is it because they don't get the stuff before they sell out?
If you want 500 different items on a daily basis, go to back to woot.com, if you want 1 thing a day, shop here.
If it's good buy it, if it's not something you like hit the meh button and move on.
Big difference is, if you bitch and moan like this on woot, you will never get a chance to see it long enough before one of those tight asses remove your bitching and complaining.
How hard is that?
I've been here since day 0. Kickstarter too. It's a great place to buy stuff you may not need or want or didn't realize you wanted. Seriously, how may speaker docks can one person have?
@somf69 there is no such thing as too many speaker docks.
@somf69 It is speaker docks that power the Uiverse.
@Headly Excuse the horrible photoshopping.
@parodymandotcom Except for the patches of water underneath the speaker dock, the picture looks fine.
@somf69 Except, hit the Meh button regardless if you like the deal or not. It's not like you either buy or press the Meh button. You press the Meh button every single day to see the unique face.
@cengland0 Shut the fuck up! You only click when you don't buy. Start doing it right or I'll start 18 threads bitching about it!
@parodymandotcom A for effort!
I sense an @Matthew Video Ombudsman video coming soon.
@Collin1000 I hope so. Praying. @matthew?
@joelmw @collin1000 I imagine if there is a video, it will be a @Matthew introduction, and then feature @snapster.
@dashcloud @collin1000 I'd like a full cast, including Hank, Hyram, Glen, Irk of course, even @JonT and a few other staffers (@MEHcus and @hollboll in particular). But, wait, here's the kicker, a fucking Greek chorus. How amaze-balls would that be?
@joelmw @dashcloud @collin1000 The Greek chorus would be so great as representative of the community, and the faction of bitchers. Oh, there should be some sort of goat effigy (perhaps no one in particular, but the general idea of the goat incarnate).
Is there a gang here on Meh named the Day 1 Douches?
@vanksterj If there is, their rival gang would be the Free VMP Felchers.
@hallmike Never trust atoms. Those fuckers will make up anything.
@vanksterj Actually, we are called the Day Zero Douches. What do you want?
@katblue That's right! And we got t-shirts to prove it!
@Teripie YEAH!
@katblue Finally, a club that I'm in!
@PurplePawprints Yeah for Day Zero Douches! Oh wait, is that a good thing?
this is why meh needs a shirt section
@hallmike that is straight up nasty. I remember when I asked someone what that was I should NOT have done that. There are somethings that you can't unlearn.
Uh, it's the east coast, bitching whining are college prep courses
@cranky1950 I'm in the east coast, have no problem waiting till midnight to see what's up. It better than a leak frog at 1am from woot
@somf69 nothing is better than a leak frog.
@cranky1950 well maybe 2
@joelmw Two cannibals are eating a clown, when one turns to the other and says: 'does this taste funny to you?'
@Outofmymind Two clowns are eating a cannibal.The first clown says to the second "I think we're doing this joke wrong".
I bet @unixrab is just happy that everyone isn't bitching about him for once.
@jsh139
@jsh139 I know, right? He must have fell on his head recently because it seems his attitude changed.
@unixrab haven season 1 epidose 10.
@cengland0 @jsh139 - I've always been this way... ...the vast majority of items offered on meh.com (and I mean vast) have sucked and VMP is a ripoff... but you know that... ...as to whiners moaning about when meh.com goes live each night and groaning about sell outs before morning... I have no tolerance. same ole lovable me.
@unixrab removing lithium from seven up was the greatest social crime of the 20th century
@cranky1950 we still get it when we need it. ... yes we.
Hey, I didn't buy any stuff that I really didn't need! What would have I done with that knife or adapter from the other night? Would I have bought them? Probably, but c'mon, what would I really do with them? Its just straw into gold,
I am sure I will scramble to buy the next thing that I didn't even know I needed even harder now only because it is cheap. Living the dream!
좀 닥치고 지랄좀 하지마
세상 모든것이 모두의 것일수는 없는거야. Meh는 Meh 그차체인거야. 뭐 토달고 설명할필요가 없는거지. 무슨말하는거냐면, 그냥 여긴 처음부터 그랬어. 동부시간으로 12시에 딜 올라오고 $5에 배송 아니면 한달에 $5 VMP. 그리고 커뮤니티포럼. 그게다야.
니네처럼 아~주 이기적인노무시키들이 전통적으로 음악축제가 유명한 마을에 뒤늦게 이사와서 시청가가지고 음악 시끄럽고 차막히니까 음악축제 없애달라고 하는애들이랑 똑같어.
내생각엔 나말고 이렇게 생각하는사람들이 많은거같은데 "이 마을은 너를중심으로 돌아가지않아." -딴지거는걸 그만둬. 저기 문있으니까 나가던지 말던지 맘데로하고.
Meh는 모두를 위한게 아니야. 여기는 제시간에 딱 들어와서 오늘 딜뭐있나 보고 사는사람들을 위한거야. 이게 너무 힘들면 www.hsn.com 가보고 이것도 너무 힘들면
지랄좀 하지마.
@EthanP Google translate needs more work. It came up with this for that: Do not get me shut up and fuck Everything that the number of days the whole world is not going to . Meh Meh is plotting his body. What the hell do not need to put Saturday described . Makes what you are referring , I just did here in the first place. Coming up with Dill at 12:00 Eastern Time Shipping on $ 5 a month or $ 5 VMP. And community forums. That's about it. Oh, like you guys to have weeks selfish labor traditionally Music Festival came late in the famous town of Directors has blocked sicheongga music loud car with the kids because I just like to have a music festival to get rid of. I do not think so , I think that I think a lot of people . " This town is not revolves around you." - Stop it. I hang hostility . Mamde there and told him to throw out iteunikka door . Meh is not for everyone. This is going to come in just in time for those who live to see today got dilmwo . What this also too tough to go too tough www.hsn.com Do not fuck me .
@Outofmymind that is way better than my version,
@Headly I was all in until the music festival then I was like what tha.. Microsoft translation was different than Google. In fact it turned me on a little bit.
@EthanP That is a good angle I hadn't thought of. You should get some feedback from the Korean contingent on what they think of the sellouts, and what time they'd like the new item to come online. Make sure to tell them to open a new thread for every thought.
@Outofmymind Cannot tell if for or against. Do love 'Meh Meh is plotting his body."
@dashcloud Fresh new threads on this topic, that's what's needed.
@Teripie about 6 more should cover it.
@EthanP its a translation of the very posting.
google translation does not work but still love lit.
@EthanP Just be happy I didn't post the microsoft version of it. It would have been a orgy in here.
I have been quietly following this controversy all evening in disbelief. When you boil it down, people are literally bitching about the world being round!
@viciousterra um, the world is flat. Duh.
@viciousterra "In the beginning the Universe was created.
This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move."
@Thumperchick Its turtles all the way down!
I just gotta restate my position. Yay, midnight! Doesn't bother me at all, don't change it. Please DO mix it up with limited quantity sellouts and higher quantity "lasts for several hours before selling out" offerings. I don't know that this experiment will last long based on ~$7,000 sellout revenue per day. More people want to buy your stuff, simply offer MORE quantities of your stuff. And again, yay Midnight! Don't change it.
@Pamtha i dont think its that simple to offer more. these are closeouts.
