Grateful Dead

I didn't get any PMs.

I miss MaryE already.. where is our beloved den mother? What are we to do now? It's like that alternate universe Twilight Zone where if MaryE was there, we grew up nurtured, balanced, educated and focused and made real change in the world.. without her, we devolved into mayhem and pursued a life of crime aka the Wild Ones.

..and as a Senator, I would not advise posting your cell phone #. What good could become of that?

....I would post my phone # or email address, but corrupt files or feinds might intrude. Thin ice.
The last pm I got was on 11/19 from Charlie3. Crickets since.

....no message. Hmmm.

I've only tried Edge and Chrome, but I cannot PM.. shoot me a PM VGuy. Lets see if it works.

I just sent you one, now.. It shows I sent a message to myself with no other participants. Sort of like PM'strabating.

Yes, bookmarks work, but the interface seems to be incompetently trying to remove this functionality one step at a time. They have removed the comments tabs from most of the Dave's Picks and Box Set forms. If you go to Store/Dave's Picks or Store/Box Sets or Store/Dave's Picks Subscription.. the comments tabs are gone from the source forms, which leaves us with History, Bookmarks or go the Community Thread and meander your way here.

....I use chrome and bookmark the threads. That's how I post my dribble. But yeah, the site for the best band in the land with the most loyal fans tooboot, shouldn't be this lame or hard to access.
I have met several heads here that I communicate with via other sources. Met some in person even.
These are the days between....
And PM's do work. PM me and I'll prove it!!!
The tab is half dosed Cone Kid.

Let's hope you're right.

We can still access these detail threads and post here. But I keep questioning intent...

Don’t forget the good faith email (I’ll post it below).

Didn’t the previous website get weird just before this new website appeared? And didn’t it happen over a weekend?

Hopefully they are building a new website. Maybe they should try AWS to host their store.
Probably should get some help on warehousing and shipping logistics too.
Hopefully we won’t have to create new accounts.

Here’s the email from 11/27.

'Cause when things go wrong, wrong with you, it hurts me too

It's been quite a year and we know how patient you have been, how patient you still are. It has always been, and will always be, our mission to provide the best service to you, the fans. As you are more than likely aware, a complex warehouse move resulted in a significant backlog of orders and while that warehouse is working as quickly as they can to deliver, we've turned 100% of our focus and dedication toward a new facility which promises to restore peace to the Dead.net community in the next few months. Trust us, this steam locomotive is rolling down the track!

So true. Well put.

Like biting the hand that feeds... and this will have an effect on sales.

As much as they might dislike the occasional diatribe that echos throughout these forums, most of the posts here push the whole conversation along and surely fuel interest. We are rabid, loyal fans. Much of the hype acts like a positive enforcing feedback loop. Do we have enough CD's, do I need that 73 Dark Star? The show will go on, but with less enthusiasm. ..and the kicker, they got all this hype and marketing for free.

Seems a bit unwelcoming.. perhaps un-grateful.

If this is not a snafu or glitch, it's a grave mistake. No business sense whatsoever..

I'm gonna disappear from here for a while. I think a certain someone who lives in a white house has got his hands on the GD operation, and is leaving his stain by withholding people's discs, taking away comments and PMs, and putting Marye out to pasture.

I'll subscribe as long as they offer it, but other than that, auf weidersehen.

Do check out 6/14/69 soon, gentlemen.

Seems like maybe TPTB can't take the truthful honesty about the circus that their quality control, shipping fiascos and lack of customer service have become while they try and peddle the X-mas season goodies?
Truth hurts (sales) sometimes...
Here's to hoping it's just some tech problems and not a big F.U. to the most loyal fans in the history of fans.
