    admin got a reaction from Desk Cop in PLEASE READ: VC DOWNTIME SUNDAY MAY 1   
    UPDATE: We are pushing the move to the updated boards until SUNDAY MAY 1st at 9 AM ET. We require a few hours of down time during this time.
     
    Sunday May 1st we will launch an updated version of Vinyl Collective with a new design!! We are upgrading the software with a new design. Everything should remain the same (feedback etc...) EXCEPT the Collection System!
     
    The collection system will be unavailable for a short period of time while we update and rebuild it. Once we relaunch the collection system, we are hoping that your lists made will still be there, however we cannot guarantee this!!

    IF YOU NEED YOUR COLLECTION LIST PLEASE MAKE A COPY BEFORE  April 30, 2016
     
    Any question feel free to post here. Thank you!

    We have been working and planning on how to develop a collection management feature along with some trading features! This will begin to roll out soon and in various stages. The first part is the collection management feature which will allow you create a simple collection list (Haves, trades, wants etc...) It will be built into your profile here on VC. We are hoping to launch this sometime in August, but it depends on how fast coding goes. As it develops I will make an official thread with more details than just this simple explanation. Glad to hear that many are looking for pretty much what we are buliding!!!

    admin got a reaction from eskimosnow27 in VC Downtime Server Migration - April 11, 2014 - 5 AM EST   
    Tomorrow at 5 AM EST we will be shutting down the entire Vinyl Collective website to do a large server upgrade. We are adding 2 new servers to handle the growth of traffic at peak time. We are always doing our best to keep things loading as fast as possible and also keep optimum up time. Lately with the huge increase of users and traffic we feel it is time to increase our server resources.
     
    We will be down for roughly 2-3 hours. It will be a simple move but because of all the data it does take time so we appreciate your patience and cooperation.
     
    Remember this is all happening tomorrow morning (April 11, 2014) at 5:00 AM EST.
     
    Thank you all for helping our little community growing and we hope you all enjoy it as much as we do.

    In terms of the multiple complaints about adamrfox this is what we are going to do. As noted above we have stated this is one of our goals this year - to make VC a safe marketplace. Of course we cannot control what happens, especially outside of VC but we can definitely eliminate people from the sales/trades thread if they are not following the guidelines. As well in the past we have banned people from the board if there is proof they are fully and intentionally ripping people off. The main board is essentially the same thing as the sale /trade thread area, but more for labels and distros. And yes we are not going to tolerate people coming on here and ripping people off.
     
    It would help if members could provide us with clear info on exactly what happened here. Maybe a quick synopsis of the deleted thread focusing on people here getting ripped off that would be great. And if anyone who has been ripped off wants to make a direct complaint they can provide us with detail via PM (Please message me and I will share with mods) we will definitely consider a ban.

    Hey Folks! I have info for futurekills and will see if we can identify the issue. In the meantime the only thing I can suggest is if you changed your name at any point, try logging in with the user name you originally signed up with. This may include way back to when we were on proboards. I do recall this was a mass issue when we moved from proboards. And all that needed done was you had to log in with the original name you used and then change it again.
     
    Let me know if that works for any one. We will continue looking into these until we identify the issue

    admin got a reaction from slinch in VC Site Down / Post Count/ Site Issues / Deleted Profiles   
    Hey All! I apologize it has taken a few hours to get an address up as to what happened. Here is all the info:
     
    Yesterday at approximately 4:30 pm our servers were shut down by the server company due to a smoke alarm. We were told they determined there was no fire at the data center and that all servers were properly shut down while the fire department assessed the situation. A short while after they began to turn on the servers, with ours going on at about 9 pm EST.
     
    At this time our site was up but many pages were not working. Our server admin believes the servers were not actually 'properly' shut down and because of this there were some issues with MySQL tables. He worked all night and was able to restore everything a few hours ago.
     
    TO THE BEST OF OUR KNOWLEDGE everything on VC was restored. However there are SOOO many pages on this site it is impossible to know. So if you encounter any issues please do not use the support forum or post here. Well you are welcome to of course post issues and discuss here but IN ORDER FOR ANY ISSUES TO GET RESOLVED you must email us:
     
    [email protected]
     
    We will of course be looking at comments here and support forum however the email is the only way for us to deal with each individual one properly and in a quick manner.
     
    Also we have been working with servers and server providers for many years and assure this is a rare occurrence. Despite that with electronics you are always at risk of things like this. Once we are confident all data is properly restored the team will be looking at options to minimize downtime if something like this ever happens again.

    *UPDATE ON POST COUNTS/ DELETED PROFILES - Please note during the time of the outage a few members profiles were deleted. In order to restore their information we had to run a post recount. What this means is that everything is recounted. If a post is deleted it does not take that away from your post count, unless we run a post recount. Many of you have been on here for many, many years and I guess this has never been done before. If you have any questions let us know.
     
    If your PROFILE WAS DELETED please email [email protected] the following:

    1.) Username
    2.) A Link to a thread you started
     
    We will gladly assist in restoring your data.
     
    UPDATE: OCTOBER 10TH OUTAGE - We experience another outage on Thursday Oct 10th around 9 pm EST. This was due to a MySQL error from the server outage the previous day. The issue has been fixed and everything has been restored to the best of our knowledge.

    admin got a reaction from tokimedo in TP/PO: LA CACAHOUETTE "French For Peanut" LP   
    LA CACAHOUETTE "French For Peanut" LPThe CD "French for Peanut," by Buffalo, N.Y., trio La Cacahouette, would likely be described by many music commentators, at least in part, as “progressive.” But what is progressive? Often it refers to virtuosic playing and long, labyrinthe compositions with grand themes. All of which is mostly true with La Cacahouette. But how they’re really progressive is the way they can make their music so varied without having it lose its way. "French for Peanut" has so many elements, layers and feelings to parse, you pick up on something new every time you listen to it. It’s music you can get emotionally vested in and not feel cheated afterwards.Powerful production values help too. Blake “Spoonman” Ellman fuels every song with cavernous drumming, particularly his four-armed performance on “Fiction Teeth.” Tracks like “No Time to Rock” convey an uncanny depth, this one combining a simple, stately piano line with riffing guitar, blanketing synths and Ellman’s visceral thunder for a propulsion that belies its title. “Brain Chips” can best be described as a series of tempered explosions, complete with ethereal forces and watery textures. The flight-fingered rave-up in the middle of “You Done Me Wrong, Willie” offers the best of Mars Volta and Explosions in the Sky. In a world of pre-packaged music and cautious, market-tested product, "French for Peanut" stands out. It’s altogether too sonically heavy for the average person, which means it’ll probably be an overlooked gem that inspires some of the future’s creative geniuses and eventually earns its rightful title as a cult classic. Rather than wait for that to happen, listen to it now and remember why you gave a damn about music in the first place.Buy this and you will automatically be entered to win a test pressing! Good Luck. Copies should arrive next week.
