  1. I'd like to see a t-shirt with the logo from the tote bag on it. Maybe sometime in the future?

     

    Probably. The reality with that logo is that the AI file we have is missing several background elements which prevent us from making high res copies of it. basically, we start getting heavy pixelation on the background record texture. On the tote bag it works cause its screen printed (although, its got less definition), so maybe that's what we'll do for the shirt. 

    I'm sure we will at some point if these sell well.

     

  2. I opened with the intention of shitting all over what I assumed would be a shirt with a vinyl(s) joke but these are actually pretty nice. 

    Ha, thanks.

     

    Yeah, we didn't want to release anything like that. Conversely, I am working on a visual overhaul of the boards, blog and the VC logo. That should be debuting sooner rather than later (unless the higher ups shoot it down)

  3. So the good news is Vinyl Collective was not affected by Heartbleed. Your information wasn’t compromised, so there is no need to change your passwords. That said, if any of you are still uneasy, you can always edit your information from the control panel. 


     


    What is Heartbleed? It’s an exploit found in OpenSSL - a method of cryptography for web-based databases. As a result, its possible that your sensitive information was exposed for those in-the-know to see. Google was affected, as was Facebook, Yahoo, Tumblr, and others. About two-thirds of the internet uses OpenSSL, so you can imagine why this is a big deal.


     


    All of the sites I mentioned above have already patched the issue and are requested password changes from users as a precaution. Likewise, there have been no reports of compromised information falling into the wrong hands. For a complete list of affected sites and their current status, see this list from Mashable: http://mashable.com/2014/04/09/heartbleed-bug-websites-affected/


     


    Back to VC, we never used OpenSSL for our security. As such, your information was never in danger. Regardless, we’ve gone over our security again just in case. Also, as noted yesterday, we migrated VC to new servers this morning. You should notice the site running faster than ever.

  4. Hey kids,

     

    It's that time of year again, as such we'd like to get you guys and gals to vote on your favorite Album and Reissue of 2013. On the 31st we'll tabulate your votes and put up the results on the blog.

     

    You can only vote once, however, you can list up to three albums in each category. 

     

    If you'd like to include a quick summary of why the record(s) in question was good, please do. We'll be selecting a few of them to accompany the article. 

     

    Here was last years list: http://www.vinylcollective.com/best-of-2012-community-top-5/

  5. Are you a fan of music? Specifically music given away for free in an online contest? Of course you are - we humans are cheap by nature!That's why we're giving away two copies of The Bronx's latest self-titled record. To enter, simply leave a comment below or in our Facebook thread and we'll randomly pick two winners on Saturday, February 9th 2013. Please note, this contest is open to U.S. residents only. Of course, you could always buy the album direct from the band's website... if you're into that sort of thing, that is.
