The joke is on them, because when my account is paid off, I am pretty much done buying from them. I may buy an occaisional item when VPH is on, but as far as keeping an account going with multiple purchases, I am done. Maybe the computer nerds could research how many people change their buying habits when the Q seems to want to make everything more and more difficult and cater to all their social media nonsense. That should be right up their alley. I do not need the headache of this horrible format.

This board has absolutely no bearing on my purchases. If it poofed today, I would still check and see what was on.

I do not believe they wish to shut down the forums. A business like this recognizes the value in forums to discuss product for the purpose of boosting sales. But I think these radical changes WERE instituted...in fact...to put the focus back on just that.

To eliminate a large portion of non-Q product chatter....as well as to eliminate controversy....they strategically eliminated VP and did it in such a way that those who like to converse about things other than Q products or who are controversial in any way would leave....i.e. by lumping them with Games and making it unpleasant to post here at all. They have largely accomplished that as far as I can see.

I think they knew exactly what they were doing.

I totally agree !

When I said I totally agree I did not touch the quote button...it was new and I missed it.... I don't think they would have gone through this much degree of a layout...

...I think they would of just pulled the plug on it also.

I think they are just trying to incorporate to much technology for many of us....it will take a few days to take it all in.

One big plus for me with it is.. the more time I spend learning and getting around the forums, the less time I spend shopping !!

A lot of VP posters were proud of how long it had been since they ordered from the Q. If they ever did.
