Re: PUTTING MONEY WHERE MOUTH IS?

[ Edited ]

This ain't my first rodeo. I've seen many message boards over the years come and go. I move to the new spot and move on with my life. Will I stop shopping at QVC no, I like QVC and have no issues. Honestly, not to seem unsympathetic I think people are making it harder than this needs to be. The powers that be made a decision for whatever reason. It's time to accept it and move on. 

 

I wanted to add to no one in particular...your fellow board members are  dedicating their time and energy to setting up a new home for you. Standing here throwing a tantrum picking apart their hard work and complaining you don't like this or that does not reflect well on you. If you don't like the way things are done offer your time and energy to be a part of the solution.

Who said they wanted to be on an unmoderated board?  From where did that analysis come?

I guess I am confused. 🤪Just a few years ago you had a thread @Shanus , stating you were "addicted" to QVC. I guess the responses "cured" you of your addiction? It seems like all this drama is just that...drama. 🙁😳

I don’t order from QVC very often (less than 10/year) but I make no apologies for placing 2 orders yesterday.

I do think they should have waited until Jan to close the boards, but I’m not surprised they are closing. Frankly, I’m surprised it didn’t happen sooner. I suspect orders generated from this board is a lot less than posters here believe.

Yes! It's easy to sit here and say they're losing all this money! Really if you go through the posts there's more people that say they haven't bought here in years.

Agree completely!  QVC is NOT a "social media" company.  I too am surprised these forums lasted as long as they have.  And due to posts on the forums I have been sent to other websites, i.e., Gap, Lands End, etc. to do my shopping there.  I do not think this is to QVC's advantage--LOL!!!

@PamfromCT , I really think, based on your posts here, that you might enjoy the new forum. It seems drama free and with the wide variety of topics to discuss, you would probably find something of interest. I really hope you visit. I would miss you.💕

All this back and forth, accusations and recriminations actions, is totally unnecessary.  @Shanus had a point to express, and I think she was entitled to her thoughts.  This very sniping will happen on a board with moderators who are unpaid and learning (May God bless them).  It is a symptom of what makes some folks want to leave this all behind and give it all up.

 

Sorry if anyone is offended, but I understand where she is coming from.  And she is a person who has given much here.
