R.I.P. VMP Forum

[chris_d_cole]

I still find myself typing “for...” in Chrome before remembering “oh yeah... it’s dead.”

I guess that’s partly due to the seemless transition to this place.

Sorry I'm late to the party. So what did the VMP staff say about closing down the forum?

Not too much really.

Yep.

fwiw you can set up Chrome to automatically redirect you: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/switcheroo-redirector/cnmciclhnghalnpfhhleggldniplelbg

I call person in the autopsy that weighs the contents of the decedent’s stomach.

Yup!

Anyone wanna copypasta it over here? I long since unsubscribed from their emails, but I’m curious as to what was written.

Frankly, I think that picture has roots in some racist ideologies that I'm extremely uncomfortable with, and I did not enjoy seeing it show up there at all.

Neither did I.

i'm sorry it was up as long as it was. it did get deleted.

The whole wording of The Standard is pretty awkward especially if it was a veiled attempt at apologizing to the Forum users while using the bullshit abortion laws as a parallel to shutting down the forum. Whatever! We got this now! And fuck those politicians in AL and MO.

Sorry? You and the team were working crazy to have this place built up

Oh yeah @AndySlash I don't blame you guys AT. ALL. You had every right to stop moderating completely the minute you guys found out what was going to happen to the site, IMO.

It wasn't.

To paraphrase my man RL Burnside -

"The Standard asked me why I unsubscribed so I went on and told 'em."

We need to change that!

I just did the same, and wrote a similar reason.

 

[sjaygray]

It would seem the tone deaf, passive aggressive staff responses have trickled into the CS queue.

VMP really taught me how to cut my website traffic down significantly if I ever need that information like if I want my sales (or opportunity for sales) to decrease for some reason.
