Well the hate by a few members is real and the biggest hater of all was successful in baiting another member in to flagging him so now the Mods closed the VB 5 thread.🙄

The haters have nothing on the indifferent... but always nice to have a drama thread or 2 around here 🤗

I was two thirds through that other (now closed) thread and wanted to reply with what I thought is a clever, snarky reply when I was reminded the thread was closed.
That is this morning's disappointment.

The difference is there are a few extreme haters that obsess on getting a thread shutdown instead of just ignoring it. 🤣😂

Those of us who don't care one way or the other about "gambling for coins" find all the passion, on both "sides" of this thing, to be highly entertaining! I have no idea why anyone cares to buy coins randomly like this (having no idea what they will get, or how much it will be worth), and I have no idea why anyone cares to vilify a harmless lottery game.
But, by all means, carry on!

Have you tried ignoring the haters instead of engaging in flame wars every thread? The fastest way to get someone to argue with you is to quote them repeatedly.
Llamas and alpacas are camels. They aren't like camels, or related. They are camels. When was anyone going to tell me this?! How long had Bill Nye been holding out on us?

VB 4 survived because of that. Unfortunately this time another member not only took the bait but flagged the hater and the thread was shutdown.
Of course you are quick to accuse me of fanning the flames and not the member who started the fire AGAIN.🙄

Among other reasons, beside the absolutely horrible value offered, and the resulting potential long term harm to the hobby, the possibility that distribution might not be as random as represented makes it far from harmless. That alone would make it worth vilifying, each and every time it is promoted.

Of course you do. That would allow you to continue to promote this garbage unchallenged.
The member who started the fire is the member who started the thread, and who will continue to do so for no particular reason, since there is really nothing interesting to discuss. Just a product of questionable value that the enthusiastic promoter needs to promote, even though he admittedly cannot afford to participate himself.
Stop promoting VB on this forum, and I will stop criticizing it here. Simple, both for you and for anyone else who finds the repetition tiresome.
Otherwise, just stop complaining about the critiques, or personally attacking those expressing opposing viewpoints, and nothing will be shut down. For the record, I have never put anyone on Ignore, nor complained about anyone or any threads to the mods. The fire, as well as its results, are entirely your creation.
You are free to post whatever the mods allow. As am I, and anyone else who cares to participate. Either stop promoting VB here, or stop trying to control the resulting threads, and you'll be fine. Or go start your own website where you'll be free to control all the content.

Currently you are basically a LOL-cow of the VB thread. I'm sure some people post just to watch you be defensive and overly emotive. It's a lot easier to just blame the trolls and the haters, but there is a reason all your threads get closed, and that reason isn't the trolls.

Did anybody notice that VB5's top coins are worth way way more than previously, this means that most of the boxes will be even a worse gamble.
Several of the commentators here aren't the only people doubling down on stupid.

Not only that, but they are likely to charge waaay more than people are thinking for each box. I'm thinking $1,500+.
As I said before, this is where VB really cleans up, after priming the pump and conditioning the market with the first 4 rounds, or where they finally hit a wall because the people who can afford to play this time are somewhat more sophisticated than those who came before.

I'm apparently at least a little dense, because I don't see the irony at all.
Yes, I repeatedly express an opinion highly critical of the product, and I question why someone not connected in any way to VB feels compelled to incessantly promote it, even when threads are repeatedly shut down. But I never complained to the mods about content, never tried to get anyone banned, never asked to have any threads closed.
And, believe it or not, never tried to control what anyone did with their money, assuming they understood what it was they were buying. I've been repeatedly falsely accused of being the fun police, but I never told anyone not to participate. I never even suggested that the product should be outlawed, although I truly do not understand why the state of California would not want to regulate it. I only told people why I think it's a bad, unregulated bet.
The exact opposite of all the cheerleaders, except at least my opinion aligned with my actions. Many of my detractors cannot honestly say the same. So, what irony am I missing?
OTOH, from the very first VB thread, @WQuarterFreddie seemed to think that starting a thread made him its moderator. And he has been frustrated ever since by his inability to control how people react, or what they post. And then shocked when his complaints, or those by his pals, result in threads being closed by the mods. And then failing to understand that doing the same thing over and over rarely changes the result.

Yes, whatever. Either stop promoting the same thing, over and over. Or live with the criticism, over and over.
Ironic? Hypocritical? Whatever.

We spend more time talking about whether we can talk about VB than we do talking about VB.

For the record, I have absolutely no problem with anyone talking about anything, and I didn't flag any posts or ask anyone to close any threads. I just want all your VB threads to be "fair and balanced."
From the last line of my first post in your closed thread:
"There you go @WQuarterFreddie -- I bit. Now let's discuss!!! 🤣🤣🤣"
TTT 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂

People can and do spend their money however they wish. It is, however, fascinating how few advocates on this forum are actual customers. Reading between the lines, that speaks volumes, given how much people like to bash the "haters."

Kudos to Freddie for making us aware of a new VB. It's interesting to see. Kudos to NJ for offering an opposing opinion on the VB. But stop criticizing each other "over and over"... this is a coin forum, talk about the coins and perhaps comparisons to other coin gimmicks. Why do you think these threads keep getting shut down? At least they are not selling counterfeit coins.

When I get an email from NGC announcing their partner’s latest VB release, I know their involvement is more than just grade and box. I think the VB announcements would be better received ATS.
Now that we got that out of the way, let’s discuss CACG’s super-fast turn around times; unless that would also be rude to our hosts.The Philadelphia Mint: making coins since 1792. We make money by making money. Now in our 225th year thanks to no competition.

The rest got shutdown because at least one member flagged a comment for violating the forum rules which I understand.
Your point is duly noted. I have done my best to stay on topic.
and I have NJ on Ignore.The only comments I have made are in response to another member's post however moving forward I will refrain from posting any comments that may be interpreted as criticism of NJ.😎

@NJCoin I don’t think you have any self awareness. You grind and grind your same points repeatedly whether about VB, Baltimore location, Nashville show promoters, etc. Most posters make their points and move on. This allows space for others to make their thoughts heard rather than being discouraged with persistent negativity.
Secondly, do you find any joy in this hobby? Again, I would hope that most who participate here have balance in their hobby as in life. If not, it shows.
It would be so refreshing for you to start a thread with a topic that conveys something that makes you excited to be here and that communicates the joy that the rest of us find in this hobby.

Have to agree with Catbert on this one. The back and forth you get up to in these threads is pretty toxic, you don't need to post 10 times per thread to argue.
Llamas and alpacas are camels. They aren't like camels, or related. They are camels. When was anyone going to tell me this?! How long had Bill Nye been holding out on us?
