About this Entire Q Forum - Reflections!

JoyFilled Warrior — Thu, 02 Mar 2023 09:42:43 GMT

Here, on this Forum,

someone else has said it first.

And, I have to agree, wholeheartedly!

We, on this Forum, are a formidable, prolific source,

of gathered information, perspectives & ideas,

all collected, & generously shared

at this one united, gathering location!

Open, to all,

to read, offer, share, learn, know, hone,

discuss &/or debate

I find this truly extraordinary!

We, all of us, offer, & read, & grow this environment,

sharing all our similarities, & differences,

as well as any, or all our opinions.

It's sort of like a *Literary, Group Heaven.*

And, all we're doing, simply is

*Just Opening Up* and

*Just Reading & Sharing & Supporting*

Simply, with One Another.

@JoyFilled Warrior , I truly enjoy the posters here and have been posting for many years. It is my source for books to read, electronics news and help, gardening tips, travel, etc. Some very good conversations! LM

I hope our forums aren't eliminated! I get so much enjoyment from them!

While I kind of get those who watch favorite hosts for entertainment or company, it is not going to change things! Life is not fair and anyone choosing these jobs know they are not guaranteed ongoing employment. With all those armchair "executives" with no real knowledge of how corporate America works, so sure they know more than people who have worked and trained in big business thinking they know it all and wanting everything about this business to adapt to them and being so forceful and demanding what they want and expressing it in nasty ways on these forums, it may very well be the end for the forums! Just don't do business here if you want everything your way! Shop or don't shop here but do not claim you absolutely know everything as factual! Most claiming they will never shop here again will and we will see their complaining posts over and over and declarations they are never shopping here again EVER!!

@AngelPuppy1 yes, I agree! But remember you can always go to Proboards to talk and share if the Q boards go down. Many of us are over there now. It is a very nice forum🙂❤️

True @Pook

When the 'new cust. free shipping deal' upset so many, they all posted they will NEVER shop here again...and are now posting about things they have bought...usually complaints about shipping though.

I disagree with the OP assessment....I feel we are a drop in the bucket of QVC customer's. I shopped for YEARS before I came to the boards.

Approx. 95 million households get QVC. We are a couple hundred regular posters.

We are vocal and have great ideas and suggestions...but that doesn't mean we are right.

Is Macy's going to make changes based on what I see is wrong with their stores?

I rarely got to watch Dan or Carolyn, but when I did....I actually watched, listened and purchased.

They both have such professional demeanor. I wish them the best in any new endeavors.

Two more hosts now off my list of 'watchables'....that leaves 4...and they are rarely on at night.

If I don't watch, I purchase much less.

This too shall pass.

A poster who said she would never, ever, ever shop at QVC again (following the new customer free shipping promo) came back the next day to describe and discuss her new purchase.

I just chimed into Carolyn's Gone thread.

@SeaMaiden

Thanks! I signed up for that initially but I didn't find it easy to use and I wasn't sure about it, so I discontinued it. I don't have that info any more.

Spelling was right, MakeUpMaidn !

I frequently misspell nic-names.

( ECBG or ECGB, etc., etc. )

AngelPuppy1:

Yes, I also signed into the other chat site a couple of years or so ago......Looking back, It was very small print, and I didn't quite understand how to use it.

When I signed in, I was classified as "Guest".

So, I just left it that way and didn't go back.

Let's hope that these forums continue.

If not, I'm guessing that it will be a fast exit.

Wishing us all well and good luck.

Based on some of the posts that I've read in the past few days it wouldn't surprise me to see these forums close in the not too distant future. Civility and respect are qualities lacking in some posters who need to be in time out in my opinion.

it's a shame that when you voice your opinion on here about certain things it's gone in a heartbeat! Why bother having a forum if you can't speak?

Great post! I don't know what has surprised me more this week .... the fact that so many really don't seem to understand how businesses work .... or that some people are so VERY attached to sales personnel/hosts. Wow!

@annie57

I suggest you go back and review QVC's Standards for participation. Their board, their rules .... and it's a shopping channel, so keeping things G-rated makes sense.

Whatever. I don't make the rules.
