A Note to Our VIPs
Hey VIPs!
Make sure you email address on record (on your Account page) is accurate. We're going to be contacting you soon with some special info and a fun little thank-you gift for helping get the new IconBuffet off the ground. Nothing big, just something to say thanks.
If you've been thinking about upgrading to VIP, now is a good time to do so. It helps support the Buffet, and allows us to continue to improve the site and create more icons.
Thanks everyone!

Awwww man...
When you're married to an accountant, the money be locked up tight, gents. LOL! I'm still trying for that kewl badge, but don't hold your breath.
drustar on Mar 29, 2007
When IB is "final," I'll upgrade to VIP status.

Heh... I highly doubt IB will ever be final.
ehooton on Mar 29, 2007
I wish I could upgrade. Some people may think pastors rake in the money, but I can tell you my husband doesn't. :(

Very nice. Thank you :)
mcd on Mar 29, 2007
Aren't the VIP functions already sort of "final"? I'm assuming that there will be few (if any) updates to the buffet any time soon that affect only the VIP users, or offer anything new to VIPs that wasn't offered before.

Looking forward to it!
KAHRules on Mar 29, 2007
This is SOOO MEAN! I have been trying to go VIP since it was first introduced. There is a problem updating my account name , therefore my credit card keeps getting rejected!!! THIS IS NOT FAIR!
Enough of my complaining...we have had enough whining going on. I love this site and want to fully participate and support it.
josh
on Mar 29, 2007
Actually, we're getting pretty close to having PayPal support, so those of you in the cold because of freaky credit card stuff should be in the clear soon.
josh
on Mar 29, 2007
mcd - I think we'll always be looking for "unofficial" ways to thank our VIPs. But yeah, the core features of VIP are pretty much set.
gswd on Mar 29, 2007
I always knew that being "Iconic" would pay off someday!

fuseunderground on Mar 29, 2007
Will this bonus be retrospectively applied if we subscribe after it's released?
As I am one of the people experiencing "freaky credit card stuff"
mhayes on Mar 29, 2007
=)
bcarneiro on Mar 29, 2007
Hey!! I want the thank you bonus too. I have used 3 credit cards already and no luck...
iconmaster on Mar 29, 2007
Hopefully we can slip the PayPal option in before this goes out.
anti on Mar 29, 2007
Cool, I would like that. Even though I know my credit card works with you guys. Can I get a badge for owning all the starter sets? :) Yes, I have the Soho too, even though you don't give me credit for it. :(

Woooo!
cheiie on Mar 30, 2007
:D Awesome, thanks for your work guys!
Niels on Mar 30, 2007
Yay, seems I upgraded at the right time :)
Looking forward to the gift, no matter how tiny it is !
Loco on Mar 30, 2007
"Hopefully we can slip the PayPal option in before this goes out."
Best news I've heard today! :-)
Joerg on Mar 30, 2007
Yay! :)
lisamac on Mar 30, 2007
W00t! Je suis VIP!
drustar on Mar 30, 2007
So, I decided IB was "final." :) Yay, VIP.
Jahnoth
on Apr 03, 2007
Okay, I hope whatever this VIP thank you is will be nice. I'm starting to feel a little left out, as I'm apparently toward the bottom of the Chef's freebie list. I've yet to receive a free set.
I know, I know. It hasn't been a month since I've been on. But still! :( *sniff, sniff*
aaroncampbell on Apr 03, 2007
Just wanted to show my support...so here it is. I'm VIP now. I guess I should have waited a week though. While it gave me 30 tokens, it changed my refill date back a month (and I was only a week away).
fuseunderground on Apr 05, 2007
Has this 'gift' been sent out yet, I just hope I didn't miss it
cheiie on Apr 05, 2007
If it has, Fuse, I've not gotten it either, so I don't think so.
josh
on Apr 05, 2007
Nope, it hasn't gone out yet. We're waiting until after the weekend. It's been a busy week.
soprano on Apr 09, 2007
Good thing I didn't miss it.
fuseunderground on Apr 10, 2007
Josh, it is after the weekend now ;-) any sign of the gift, I'm itching to see what it is... or maybe I have fleas, I should check that out :-^
josh
on Apr 10, 2007
It'll be coming in the mail, and should be sent in the next day or so. If you're in the UK, you may have to allow for an extra week for the fun to hop the Atlantic. ; )
fuseunderground on Apr 10, 2007
Wow!!! an actual physical thing - Cool
fuseunderground on Apr 10, 2007
You guys rock!!!
tamashii on Apr 10, 2007
OMG!!!! /cry
justG on Apr 10, 2007
Whoa. R0xx0r5!!11!!1 =]
mhayes on Apr 10, 2007
IB Boxers?
taario on Apr 10, 2007
Lucky! =D
MiCCAS on Apr 10, 2007
You guys better upload some snapshots :D
gswd on Apr 10, 2007
*confused*
Then why did he say that we needed to make sure our email address was correct? Is there some new technology that creates physical items to be sent via email? Cause I do not have a decoder. But maybe the post office does.
josh
on Apr 10, 2007
We're going to email our VIPs to collect some info in the next day or so... then the real mail will go out.
SpamDog on Apr 10, 2007
do it now!!! I can't wait!!!! the suspense is killing me!!
gswd on Apr 10, 2007
Ohhhhh. Kewl.
gswd on Apr 10, 2007
@mhayes: I'm hoping for a hat. Nobody ever gives away t-shirts and such in my size.
Niels on Apr 11, 2007
Or perhaps a real Icon-buffet in a fancy restaurant?
miklb on Apr 12, 2007
hopefully upgrading today wasn't too late :)
soprano on Apr 12, 2007
I haven't gotten the address collection note, so you're probably good.
whoisgregg on Apr 12, 2007
If we need to be emailed to "collect information" I hope IB needs to know my t-shirt size. :D
XL, just in case... ;) ;)
sez666
on Apr 13, 2007
well taken the plunge. Now VIP, woo hoo,
rajr19 on Apr 14, 2007
shoot, i signed up too late. just realize that
Keeblerelf on Apr 14, 2007
You should still be fine rajr19. I haven't received anything from IB collecting information yet at least.
MacManX on Apr 14, 2007
I received a notice at the top of my profile page asking to update my payment information, which included my billing address. I'm guessing that this is how the chefs are collecting our mailing addresses, but I could be wrong.
gswd on Apr 15, 2007
I did not get that notice on my page.
gswd on Apr 15, 2007
Is this info update only for the monthlies? I am an annual subscriber, and have not gotten that notice. I hope the Chefs aren't going to forget about the annual subscribers when they send out the freebie.
MacManX on Apr 15, 2007
I'm a monthly VIP, so that could be the "missing link" in this scenario.
KatieK on Apr 15, 2007
GSWD: I know. ;) It's like waiting for my Little Orphan Annie decoder ring....
MacManX on Apr 15, 2007
Forget the decoder ring! I'm holding out for an official Red Ryder, carbine action, two-hundred shot range model air rifle, with a compass in the stock and this thing which tells time.
KatieK on Apr 15, 2007
MacManX: But a football wouldn't make a very good freebie.
aaroncampbell on Apr 15, 2007
I'm still waiting too. I assume they got busier then planned and had to put it off?
rajr19 on Apr 15, 2007
phew. peoples, tell me im fine, tell me im fine! (panics like a thirsty camel)
cbest
on Apr 17, 2007
Oh, damn it all to hell, am I too late? I've had my nose shoved in a project for 30 days and look at what all I missed!
LMAO @ Katie for the decoder ring comment. Bwah!
soprano on Apr 17, 2007
Don't think you missed it--if you did, I did too.
flippedcracker on Apr 18, 2007
i just got an email asking for my mailing address, so they're probably coming out soon.
aaroncampbell on Apr 18, 2007
Same here...
mhayes on Apr 18, 2007
Me as well...
socrates on Apr 18, 2007
replied to mine too...
tamashii on Apr 18, 2007
well - it was too much for me to handle, hehe.
With IconBuffet being released/“Coming Soon,” my only having 2 tokens left, this free gift stuff and next week promising something of import for VIPs, I just couldn’t hold out any longer.
And I gets a shiny new badge next to my name. I do like the badges!
Now for that email…
Nokiko on Apr 19, 2007
I just became VIP today, does this also count towards new VIP's or just the old ones before this announcement was made?
Nokiko on Apr 19, 2007
Im a new vip, does this count for new vip's also or only for the older ones before this original posting
sez666
on Apr 19, 2007
Calm down, I think they read it the first time. :-)
wotan on Apr 19, 2007
Wow - Nokiko! Fell asleep on your Enter-Button?
justG on Apr 19, 2007
@Nokiko: The Chefs stated that yesterday, the 18th, was the last day to get in on the gift. I dunno how set in stone that is, but there y'go.
myrheille on Apr 19, 2007
I'm VIP-ified, just for the month! I would have prefered the year-thing but I'm currently counting the cents on spending. I know it might be too late for the gift though - will try and send an email to check!!
lparziale on Apr 19, 2007
OK, I have upgraded my account - when do we get the pony?
debbye on Mar 11, 2008
i'm still waiting for the email … :(
gswd on Mar 11, 2008
so that they can "gather information" and send you something kewl to thank you for being the lifeblood of IB, right?
debbye on Mar 11, 2008
ya right …
@gswd - i'd been looking for this thread all night! i felt that it was appropriate to the current conversations …
gswd on Mar 11, 2008
of course many of you VIPs are still waiting for the other something cool that never seemed to come about, or nothing was ever explained as being the cool VIP bonus from .... like June last year?
