Happy 2026!!

It's another year ahead at the VVF!

What will it bring?

Will Vinnie come out as a female properly and possibly actually be happy enough to be like a normal person? Or will being a woman full time make her even crankier and prices will be raised as punishment?

Will anybody hear any music that has been "ready" for years? How long can this carrot be dangled?

Will Vinnie pass away this year, joining Ace among the stars, and we will finally get our hands on the promised music, and the Box Set people especially get something for their money after all these years?

It's a bit much that Vinnie is trying to charge $200 per song when bascially this stuff, and more, should have been in the box set, and people have already paid for that.

Ahhh, let's wait and see.....

Here's a picture of the end of the fireworks they had at my city last night.

Happy new year @genebaby and thanks for holding the fort together here for us all to contribute. Although its a generally low-post place, I enjoy reading and catching up on the latest nonsense from VV.

Now if we could only find a solution to the "content not viewable in your region" issue with Imgur images, it would make my VVForums experience a lot better!

(example: your signature image https://i.imgur.com/nlBgoET.jpg just comes up as a big blue box with that message, every time it appears when I scroll a thread. I'm in the UK).

Thanks man. Appreciate the kind words. It's good to have this place to discuss what we discuss.

Interesting to know about the Imgur issue, had no idea. I'll look into it. I started using it after Photobucket kicked the bucket in terms of service.

Ok, there you go, they left the UK recently, bloody hell!!

Yes, Imgur is blocked in the UK as of late 2025 due to the UK's stricter Online Safety Act and investigations by the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) into Imgur's handling of children's data, leading Imgur's parent company to restrict access to avoid potential heavy fines. UK users see a "content not available" message and cannot log in or upload, but they can request data or delete accounts; the block affects embedded images on other sites too, though some users try VPNs or alternative image hosts like imgbox.
