<notagiant> Benyoung: don't look at me, man
<yadayada> Ivana3: she...be serious
<BigIII> BenSwank: how about shipping fee of Vault store?since I'm from China,sometimes it would be really expensive
<Ivana3> 21x3: why grrrrrr
<Benyoung> will the new site still be accessible in schools? You know to prevent kids from learning
<21x3> gggrrrrr
<QOTSA> BenSwank: I was charged 60.00 at the first of April. Am I paid up will I have to pay again for this quarter?

<ledbeat> BenSwank: Where do we sign up on Wed?
<rockabillyking> Ivana3: i am all for smoke signals
<Ivana3> SMOKE SIGNALS
<BenSwank> any other non tweet related questions
<withacoin> BenSwank: let's just keep fighting because it's funny
<yadayada> BenSwank: oh make a decision already. I vote nay...no tweets
<Ivana3> BenSwank: they'll be fine with whatever u choose
<notagiant> BenSwank: i'm kinda neutral about it anyway
<LackOfEloquence> BenSwank: I would like to be notified via carrier pigeon if that's ok
<dmdv1> BenSwank: good
<rsimms3> BenSwank: thank you
<rockabillyking> BenSwank: a-ok captain
<21x3> BenSwank: go for it.
<konchok3> BenSwank: sure
<Ivana3> BenSwank: yes
<cmelo> BenSwank: ok!
<BenSwank> ok, guys... clearly not everyone agrees about this.. so we will stick with our plan as i just outlined. ok?
<Cathy005> BenSwank: i thin the majority here are telling you they want to keep the tweets - at least that the way it seems here
<notagiant> rockabillyking: yo
<ledbeat> BenSwank: So on Wed we go to TMR.com and sign up there?
<BigIII> BenSwank: hi Ben.Are stuff in Vault store strictly limited?like last year's pop-up shop?
<rockabillyking> notagiant: YO HEY
<Hamptonio> Nimativ096:
<withacoin> Cathy005: ha! yes!
<Nimativ096> Hamptonio: ha ha ha ha ha!
<notagiant> BenSwank: what's with the hardcore caps lock, man?
<shanedevon> 21x3: A lot of us can't hang around the chat room all the time though.
<Ivana3> BenSwank: we want the tweets for blog stuff just not when Jack or the bens are on
<magicskipper> BenSwank: The other way around
<cmelo> BenSwank: thanks for all yer help with this. come to our party on here tomorrow night just before midnight.
<Cathy005> BenSwank: just keep the tweets for when you, Jack and Ben blackwell come into the chat
<withacoin> BenSwank: perfect--you the man
<jenyvette> BenSwank: oh my shouts caps
<Hamptonio> BenSwank: my wife left town for 5 days and i took care of the kid all by myself. is there some kind of vinyl reward for this?
<notagiant> BenSwank: yeah, makes sense
<21x3> BenSwank: i like that whoever happens to be in tha chat room gets to chat, not a crowd come rushing in
<rockabillyking> BenSwank: got it, sounds good.
<Ivana3> BenSwank: vice versa that
<shanedevon> BenSwank: Sweet
<macwacky> BenSwank: the only issue is wehn we have to take all the Bleu Edmonton, etc. tweets as well--small price to pay
<rockabillyking> from going where ever
<withacoin> BenSwank: can you create a rolling recording booth/
<Ivana3> BenSwank: go with no tweets for a bit
<Nimativ096> BenSwank: think the annoying thing was when they were about someone other than TMR people
<BenSwank> I WILL SAY AGAIN. WE WILL NOTIFY VIA TWEET WHEN POSSIBLE IF WE ARE GOING ONLINE, BUT NO TWEETS FOR BLOG UPDATES, ETC
<jenyvette> withacoin: lazy!
<Cathy005> BenSwank: if they found them a nusence the should just not sign up to get the tweets
<rockabillyking> withacoin: just about to say. there's a way to disable certain tweets.
<jenyvette> Cathy005: cause they're crazy
<withacoin> BenSwank: why can't people just fix their settings to their own preferences
<Ivana3> BenSwank: sigh, you can't please everybody all the time
<trickster> BenSwank: any colored elephants wil go on sale online for people who live in places with no record stores ben?
<BenSwank> CLEARLY YOU CAN SEE THERE IS A DEBATE ABOUT THIS
<Nimativ096> BenSwank: i'd prefer to be notified when you're online.
<shanedevon> I guess we could let those who don't like the tweets opt out of them.
<cmelo> ARGH! no tweets!
<Cathy005> BenSwank: I think people would prefer to get the tweert
<Wimby> BenSwank: yes, tweets please!!
<Tamtaro> BenSwank: yes please
<BenSwank> Cathy005: THEY FOUND THEM A NUISANCE
<rockabillyking> BenSwank: same.
<bkramer10> BenSwank: no tweets
<notagiant> BenSwank: then we'd have to put on more notifications
<missterpickles> BenSwank: I like the tweet set up, I can't live in this chat room!
<jenyvette> BenSwank: please!
<withacoin> BenSwank: i would love that
<magicskipper> BenSwank: NOOOOO
<Cathy005> BenSwank: why were people complaining about the tweets?
<macwacky> BenSwank: i prefer!
<BenSwank> IT'S ONE OF THOSE THINGS WHERE SOME MEMBERS HATE IT AND SOME LIKE IT
<shanedevon> BenSwank: I'll bet more people dig the tweets than not.
<BenSwank> Cathy005: BUT IF EVERYONE PREFERS WE CAN SEND TWEETS WHEN WE GO ONLINE
<magicskipper> withacoin: Yay
<withacoin> BenSwank: dear lord--thank you
<BenSwank> Cathy005: WE RECIEVED A LOT OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THAT
<missterpickles> BenSwank: You had mentioned that concerts may be streamed, will it be select shows or most shows?
<LackOfEloquence> BenSwank: Anything new features?
<jenyvette> BenSwank: so many ?...will wait until I can explore new site.
<yadayada> BenSwank: OH FINE...
<Cathy005> BenSwank: why can't we get automatic tweets like on modlife?
<BenSwank> withacoin: YES
<itsmeinpartei> BenSwank: sorry, i meant the new merch for members.
<BenSwank> LackOfEloquence: YES IT WILL
<Ivana3> BenSwank: crystal
<withacoin> BenSwank: more accessible on an iPhone?
<dmdv1> BenSwank: JFK
<BenSwank> BenSwank: I'D LIKE TO FOCUS ON VAULT TRANSITION
<LackOfEloquence> BenSwank: So TMR.com is going to have chat...?
<dmdv1> BenSwank: indoor voice please I have a headache
<Ivana3> BenSwank: no but good luck with all sorts of future plans
<BenSwank> I WANT THIS TO ALL BE AS CLEAR AS POSSIBLE
<yadayada> BenSwank: do u have the record booth open yet in the novelty lounge?
<BenSwank> MORE QUESTIONS?

<jenyvette> BenSwank: please fix...text to let me know when y'all are on allow me not to lurk and live my life
<ledbeat> BenSwank: Do we have to cancel with modlife?
<21x3> NO MORE TWEETS??? WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

<runofthemill> BenSwank: do we have to cancel our modlife accounts or will they just stop?

<BenSwank> TO LET PEOPLE KNOW IT'S COMING
<BenSwank> jenyvette: THE MAJORITY HAS SPOKE, I'M AFRAID... BUT WHEN SOMETHING IMPORTANT IS GOING ON, WE CAN TWEET AHEAD OF TIME

This is it! Tomorrow is the deadline to sign up for Vault Package #16 on Modlife as well as the final day of the Vault in its current form, meaning… Wednesday is the official launch day of the new and improved Third Man Records Vault! As we mentioned previously, your subscription with Modlife will NOT carry over. ALL members will have to re-subscribe to the new Vault in order to maintain a continuous subscription.

We realize that many of you prefer not to renew your quarterly subscription until the corresponding package has been announced, and we don’t want any loyal Vault members to miss out on content due to the timing of this launch. For that reason, all Vault content will be open and non-exclusive until Vault Package #17 is announced in early July, though please note that Vault Chat and comments will be closed to those who have not yet re-subscribed. Similarly, the Vault Novelties Shop, which will be accessible only to Platinum members, will launch AFTER the Package #17 announcement, so all members have equal opportunity to score the wares we will have to offer. (We know, we can hardly wait either!)

We have strived to fill the new Vault up with a solid collection of fun goodies for the launch, however please keep in mind that this is just the beginning. We are thrilled to use our new platform to bring you many more exclusive videos, tracks and photos, as well as the inside scoop on Third Man news and events in the weeks ahead.

This new & improved Vault is new to us too. We liken the way we feel on this day to the way the engineers of the Hadron Collider must have felt when they flipped the switch… so we appreciate your patience with us as we get these protons accelerating and unlock the keys to the universe.

Like always, please contact vault@thirdmanrecords.com if you are having any trouble using the site. We hope you agree that this new Vault is going to vastly improve the way we bring you the content we all love, and we look forward to rolling out all the site’s features in the coming months.

In the meantime, don’t forget to sign up for Vault Package #16.

Please note that new subscriptions can presently only be purchased via credit/debit. We will be able to accept Paypal shortly.

I can't wade through that whole thing. Did anyone tell Swank that we've already got the info covered here and in the LR?

I did but he might have someone from TMR drop by and post something

OFF TOPIC - I just checked my vault account (Never usually bother) Joined day 1 and was charged $60 for packs 1-8 then was charged $6.99 shipping for Vault 9 or 10 (Total $66.99) then back to $60 did I miss something???

I had that problem one quarter, I just emailed vault@thirdmanrecords.com and they refunded me the extra that I shouldn't have been charged.

So...does that make most people happy or disappointed? I think it's kinda BS to announce the Vault Store but then not meet the self imposed deadline, but that's just me.

Yeah, I agree. What other incentive is there to sign up early then? The store is the only thing I knew of. Don't get what the complaint was, you either pay early to get access to the store or wait and miss out. No one was forcing you to pay so there isn't really room to complain.

Would have preferred the launch the way they originally planned it. The vault store being open from day one would have been a nice way to show appreciation to those of us willing to trust TMR and purchase packages sight unseen.

Seems there's no real incentive to sign up early anymore, unless you just love the chat feature. We'll know for sure soon enough what all the change entails.
