Re: Why post here if you don't purchase here?

I don't watch QVC on cable anymore but do frequent the website. I mostly buy when I have a Q gift card. I love these forums. They used to be a lot more interesting before they overhauled them. People were nasty, cruel, funny and often a lot of trolls visited the site. Now it is more sedate and I understand it's Q's property and they can do what they like with it. But the fun part is gone. I still read the forums tho.

So, just to be clear - you were more interested in reading (and participating in?) the forums when people were nasty and cruel, and there were more trolls?

Mooinchilde, you must be a lawyer because you pick out certain words and use them against me. Touche! I also said they were funny. No I didn't participate in being cruel and nasty. And the trolls - well I did complain to management once when one troll in particular used obscene words over and over again in many forums. Then QVC overhauled the whole forum and made it better with oversight included.

I purchase here, maybe 12-15 items a year. I use to keep QVC on while in the kitchen or doing laundry. To reduce bills I cut cable, I still watch online sometimes or look at programming/check the videos before purchasing. My question was for the constant complainers, host bashers, QVC haters. Anyways, I come on here sometimes regularly then sometimes it could be a few months, but I do notice those who make the comments about QVC and the hosts in a derogatory way and I was curious why come here at all?

So people can come on and ask us why we post here when we don't purchase from here.

I cut my cable last Oct. since I never turned on my t.v. before 8:00 p.m. nightly even on week-ends and then only watched about an hour or two. I just like to read. Throwing $$ out the window so I stopped.

I have not bought anything from the Q. since March 2012 and never missed that either.

But I love the ladies on the forums and do enjoy looking at the items on Q. website. Nothing has tempted me to buy and have to return due to constant problems I began having with their Quality. Retirement funds are increasing to not shopping or surfing the channels.

You can be a regular customer and still critique the company, hosts, vendors that serve you. Everyone I deal with I evaluate their service.

If I weren't a customer nor watched the Q, I wouldn't be interested in this forum.

The opposite of love, isn't hate; it's indifference.

Obviously, the folks who continue to post, on the forums, though, they say they've had nothing to do with QVC, in years, are still interested.

If I, for whatever reason, decided, I was done with any company, I'd have no interest in posting on their message forums.

The forums are open, anyone can post.

I do purchase here, but I'd still post here because there is nowhere where a community has so much knowledge about so many things. I also like the other posters. I do wish we could discuss controversial issues but I understand how this could have some problematic results. It is clear to me that QVC wishes we would go away. The blogs and forums entry is in tiny letters way down at the bottom of the page. You can easliy shop here and never notice it exists. Thank you, Community, for all of your past help.

@newname0you did exactly the same thing! You wrote a sentence that included 4 traits and said the OP picked certain words to use against you, then you answer by picking out one of those words (funny) saying that was why you used to enjoy the forums.

I think in all honesty since we know so many old posters left to go to other "freer" forums, they too like(d) being able to have no boundaries put upon them.

As for me, I rarely buy anymore, sometimes watch when I'm, taking a break, bought 2 items in the past year, reviewed them on the reviews board but did not come here and complain or bash them. The only host I really enjoy anymore is David because he is sincere and always kind to callers and vendors and seems genuinely a happy, good person. Oh, and Carolyn. But I don't come to the forums and rake the others over the coals, I just don't watch them.

I'm done with P.C. Just say what you mean and mean what you say. It's easier.

Ditto~~~I don't think it would even occur to me to want to post in these forums if I was not ( for me, a long time) customer and didn't watch. That seems odd to me that one would want to post on a forum they claim they don't watch or buy from. Just odd.
