I mean if you are purely talking about VMP, then yes this place can be negative. There’s probably a reason for that.
I understand there is some history but if it rubs everyone so wrong, there are other places to spend $/time. The Reddit has become unbearable as it's filled with people who I just keep wondering, "do you just need to find another hobby" since it and VMP seems to make them so miserable. There's enough negativity out there, why look for more to be pissed about.I mean if you are purely talking about VMP, then yes this place can be negative. There’s probably a reason for that.
I’m just saying this might not be the feel happy place for VMP, there is plenty of positive in these forums.I understand there is some history but if it rubs everyone so wrong, there are other places to spend $/time.

I think this place has become pretty objective toward them over the past couple years. I see nothing wrong with calling them out or being skeptical of a lot of the things they do while also still recognizing that when they get things right, they provide a pretty great product.
I think N&G have evolved beyond a VMP message board so I don’t fault folks that came here primarily to discuss VMP to have found greener pastures. While the N&G VMP boards are fairly active, they are a far cry from what you’ll find in other places.I understand there is some history but if it rubs everyone so wrong, there are other places to spend $/time.

For most of the regulars on here, N&G is a community for record collectors and music
enthusiasts where VMP is just a small part of the overall conversation. There are days that can go by where VMP isn’t even discussed at all. I think that it’s a more rewarding experience to have a community as the central focus rather than a company.
If all you wanna do is talk about VMP then you’re gonna be happier on Discord and that is completely fine. If you wanna talk about just about anything else with people who are also vinyl collectors/music fanatics then N&G’s is gonna be a more more enjoyable place to visit.

CHeck your pms.I'm ISO of the art print for Dylan's Blonde on Blonde. If anyone has one they don't want, I'll shoot you like $10 to send it my way!
the discord rules around the spreadsheet posted a few pages back.I don't even know why this discussion started. As @hayema7 said, there's room for both places.
I don’t think anyone was saying people need to choose sides or anything like that, Dukey said he felt conflicted about sharing some discord info on here and then it escalated from there.I don't even know why this discussion started. As @hayema7 said, there's room for both places.

So much so that they changed their gamechanging Boxsets sent over time to a boxset sent to you at one time. You know, like a box set.
