I am not so much worried about not having received a coupon, BUT I am worried about the Lilypad, and what this delay might actually mean... I keep thinking that maybe the Lilypad can't afford to give out the vouchers and is on the verge of going under..please at least let us know that we are not about to lose our Digi-Home, I'll join in the MOC without a huge coupon at the end, I just love the challenges, the fun and games and the camaraderie I hope all is OK behind the scenes Hugs
Yes, I agree. I don't need a coupon to buy scrapbook supplies, and I certainly don't expect to be chosen as a Poly, but it's been four months and we haven't heard anything. I would rather know what's up and find a way to help and support everyone than sit here waiting. It's really discouraged me from joining in on some of the events. I do hope everything is OK.
I agree, I've always been a "I'd rather know the bad" than have my mind wander about the possibilities. I do hope everything is ok with TLP behind the scenes.
Agree! Hoping everyone is ok! If we don't get the coupon it's ok. I'm in it for the challenges and new thing I've learned. It is a worry with so many sites closing.
TLP is NOT closing But you all make my heart swell Please see Laura's update post here: https://the-lilypad.com/forum/threads/moc-update.63581/
My heart goes out to the accountant and the family. I wish them the best. As far as your 'silence and keeping us in the dark' about the MOC thing I do have something to say about that. As you discovered with the post about the why so long issue, you can see that everyone has been totally understanding. Of course anyone would be with that kind of scenario. What I fail to see is why it was necessary to keep it a secret and not explain earlier. This would have eliminated much anxiety and speculation, and month after month of checking the site for any news. I just don't get that. I did have fun with all the challenges and being able to complete them was exciting, and I look forward to the next one. FYI: I spent well over what the coupon will be to be honest, so that was just icing on the cake to earn that, and it was an incentive and will be nice to get it.
Julie, I hated even thinking that and I wish I had not said anything. Speaking for myself, I've been very engrained in other boards and they ended up closing, one of them was very near and dear to my heart and one of them just closed down almost overnight. It seems like every message board I ever got really involved with ended up closing. I can't even begin to tell you how relieved I am that that was not the issue!!! I had kind of told myself that I wouldn't get involved with another board, after the heartbreaks of the others closing, then I found this wonderful place and by golly, it just felt like family from almost the first. I just want you all to know that I love it here! Sending good thoughts to all of you and I certainly am not concerned about getting a GC. Like I said in another post, that isn't even why I play in all of the wonderful challenges here. That's just icing on the cake.
I am not @lmccandless but I don't believe it was ever about trying to be silent or keep anyone in the dark. I think it truly wasn't expected to take this long and the focus had just been on trying to get it together so they can get the coupons out. Not any intentions of being secretive. Just not playing the tape all the way through and stopping in to say hey this is where we are at.
I am copying my reply to the other link. I thought I had posted it here . . . I am SO sorry to hear that your accountant has pancreatic cancer. This breaks my heart. I pray that God will give him a miracle and heal him. I pray that God gives him courage and strength, and I pray for his family as well. Please don't worry about the MOC coupons. That is nothing compared to what he is going through. I had so much fun participating in the MOC. That made it worth it for me! I, too, was getting worried about TLP. I'm so glad you informed us of the situation. I'm sorry you are under so much pressure with this. I wish there were something I could do to help.
My husband asked if I won and said yes. He said, you spent at least 20.00 there. I said I know, I think I won twice! He rolled his eyes at me. I call him Captain Killjoy for a reason.
