Well... you seem to care more about views than about really helping people. Otherwise you wouldn't have acted like a whiny bitch.

 

Complain that no one wants to help people.

Use page views to illustrate.

I care more about page views than helping people?

Top kek.

 

How did I know that if I used the word "retarded" you would focus on that? Even though the entire post is that you care about "mean words on the internet" more than helping people, you still do exactly that.

 

Honestly, how did I know?

I wouldn't say that people here don't want to join a collective effort to raise money for a charity. I've seen it done. 

 

However, I would say they have no interest in doing it with you.

 

Then start one. Oh wait, I forgot it's still easier to talk shit, yeah just do that.

Don't you twist my words. I said I wasnt giving YOU money to donate to "X" charity that hasn't even been determined based 100% on YOUR attitude. I'll take my hard earned cash and donate it where i see fit, like I do every year. fuck off.

 

Why do you keep using the word, "YOU," none of this had anything to do with giving me money or even a charity I chose.

 

Do you expect me to care? Look at it from my perspective.

 

Part 1: Try to start a charity drive.

Part 2: No one gives a fuck.

Part 3: I start calling you all names

Part 4: Your retarded ass shows up and starts calling me out.

 

What part of this should I honestly care about? There was never a point where anyone expressed an interest in doing this besides me.

 

My idea failed, that's fine. I'll sit here and fling shit in the pile of shit that I built.

 

But I love that to the bitter end, not one of you thought, "Well dang this fucking asshole is crazy, but he isn't asking for my money directly or indirectly, maybe we can turn this thing around and do some good with it."

 

Because it is more important to focus on what I said rather than what I was trying to do.

 

So nice work, before you come back with another, "YOU" remember that there is no "YOU" other than the people, whoever or wherever they are, that I wanted us to help. You're saying that because of some mean words on the internet, you don't want to help build a collective effort to help somebody. Not one person contributed a single thing to this thread, not one pledge, not one idea. Constructive criticism is great, but saying, "don't do this" or "don't call people this" isn't an idea. It doesn't help.

 

That's why I think of you collectively as useless, because you could give two fucks about getting together and doing some real good. No one has time, it's Black Friday, $20 is a lot for some of us, we're consumerists, we don't know any charities, we got records to pre-order.

 

But throw some mean words around and suddenly we all have time to fling shit in the monkey cage.

Cool man, denial is a powerful thing. Keep telling yourself that you won't donate anything to charity because of my attitude. Whatever you need to do to justify your own inaction.

 

Wanna really show me up? Donate to a charity of your choosing and post a screencap right here, that'll really put me in my place.

also i don't think there is anything wrong with this thread.  i mean who doesn't love a donation thread, but calling people cunts is not going to put people in your corner.

 

Pretty funny of you to call me out for not donating to a thread I never saw (I could count on one hand how many times I've posted on this forum).

 

Also I didn't call anyone in particular a "cunt," if you pay attention to the wording I called us cunts, as in a collective, a collective of useless cunts.

 

But okay, I'll meet your challenge:

 

My Pledge:

I, raidenradio, pledge to donate $20 to VinylCollective's One Record: One Cause.

 

I nominate the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation (www.cff.org). The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation is the world's leader in seeking a cure to end Cystic Fibrosis and improve the lives of those afflicted with the disease.

 

 

 

There, so I've nominated two charities and am in for $40, I am therefore better than all of you useless cunts. Which one of you will try and stop me?

 

 

The choice is yours.

Wanting to help people? Who cares.

 

Insinuating I don't want to help people? Where's that reply button!?

"Let's have a charity drive!"

"Let's pick a charity!"

Yeah that's some bad organization on my part.

This was a good idea, I'm going to see how this takes off, but am undecided if I will donate.

 

Gosh thank you so much for maybe, possibly supporting this. Your mostly inaction really sets you apart from the rest of the board. You should be proud.

It's okay, I had a sneaking suspicion that we were a bunch of useless cunts. Good to know I was right.

You still can, all that's required now is to pledge to donate on Christmas Eve, and if you want to suggest a charity.

Holy shit guys really? An open-ended charity drive for $20 with one month and 40 of you read this thread any just moved on.

Is the Shai Hulud selling online anywhere?

Synopsis:

 

Here's the idea, it's Black Friday and a lot of us are/have been stocking up on new releases and hot deals. What if we made a pledge to not buy one record and instead give that money to charity?

 

How it works

 

From now until Christmas Eve, we each pledge $20 to a charity of the board's choosing. If you wish to participate, post in this thread that you pledge to donate $20 on Christmas Eve.

 

Which charity?

 

We nominate charities for the donations to go to. Whichever one gets the most support in the thread gets the donations we pledged to... pledge.

 

How will we know the money is going to the charity?

 

Most charities accept Paypal, so on December 24th we'll be flooding that charity with our donations and the message that they're from the kind folks at Vinyl Collective. We can then post screenshots of our donations as proof if required.

 

How can I get involved?

 

Make a pledge similar to the one I will post below. If you see a charity and want to vote for it, say so. If you want propose one that hasn't been already, say so in your pledge. Give a brief synopsis of the charity and why we should select it.

 

What if we pledge to one cause but want to support another?

 

Edit your posts and support up to 3 other charities, they will be tabulated into the final selection.

 

 

 

 

My Pledge:

I, raidenradio, pledge to donate $20 to VinylCollective's One Record: One Cause.

 

I nominate Child's Play (www.childsplaycharity.org). Child's play provides games, toys, books, and other resources to children in hospitals and domestic abuse shelters.

 

 

Awesome, the two records I really wanted and I add them to my cart only to lose them seconds later.

 

Placed two order since I was in a hurry to get them in. Will Topshelf put them together and refund my double shipping?

Let's get a counting thing going.

 

2. He didn't say your opinion was wrong, just that you stated it as a fact and not an opinion.

 

I said he's the worst comedian I'd ever heard....

He's not a bad comedian, he's just not your style.

 

Shit I forgot my opinions are wrong if they conflict with yours. Thanks for bringing me up to speed.

Holy shit I was excited to expand comedy collection so I started listening to this stuff on spotify. Jonah Rey might be the worst comedian I've ever heard and I've been on two Royal Caribbean cruises.

You never go full Glassjaw.

The first post of this thread.

Mods feel free to move if this in the wrong forum since it's not about a specific release or anything newsworthy. Just asking the question, what is the one record that you want the most but have been unable to find whether it's due to price, hasn't been pressed, or other reasons.

I guess what I'm asking is, what single record would bring you the most personal joy right now.

Or...

What was the one record that you spent forever hunting and eventually found.

 

To be fair, I knew fuck all about records when I made this thread.

Finally tracked down a copy of my white whale. Goddammit.

Yeah. They should stop repressing an album that so many people love so that they can't buy it when they get into collecting records.

 

Except they aren't doing that. They're repressing the same albums in intentionally small numbers to capitalize on a manufactured sense of collectibility. Miss out on the previous 9 presses of ADTR? Get this new one but hurry cause it's limited to 203.

 

I don't know shit about running a label, but I would imagine when deciding how many of something you want to press you shoot for a number that will sell in a reasonable amount of time. So when Relapse does an 8th pressing of Mastodon you do a couple thousand. Whereas if you're Topshelf you're pressing some niche artists so you only do a few hundred and then a few hundred more when you sell out.

 

Victory knows ADTR and BTBAM will sell quickly and they could easily produce 500-1000 of each album and move it. But they want to capitalize on the shittiest aspects of THE HOBBY so they keep churning out these same albums over and over. They're riding the last gravy train they have left because no one gives a fuck about their current roster (other than Counterparts). So rather than focus on being a reputable label putting out good music they want to slowly scrape up what's left of their glory years. Maybe if they put enough limited variants they squeeze a few extra bucks out of the completionists.

 

Shitty to the bitter end Victory.
