And by new members I mean 2005ish and on. I guess it speaks volumes really, I just never took notice because I never log on.

    Well, I got into the band in 2005, and I was fifteen at the time... not sure what you mean when you say it speaks volumes. In what sense?

    Not sure, I am from 2006. Been in the fan club since 1996 (I think, maybe '98 145XXX so wherever that puts me), just never created an account for the forums.

    I saw them in 1992 for $4 at my college and again at Lolla that year ... have seen them nearly 20 times over the years ... including a trip to Europe.

    I joined the 10c in '06 ... would of joined much earlier had I known ...

    so, what's your point, OP?

    you can tell there are a lot of younger people.

    every 3rd post in here is an argument.

    very different than in past years, and from like 1998-2003. Lots more love flowing.

    Don't go by the board join date it's wrong for a lot of people like me. I joined the board in '98 or whenever it was it first came into existence but there was a problem when they merged my accounts during the "spring cleaning" so now it says 2005 and i lost all my old posts and old name (nothing they can do to fix it, I've called and talked to them). I actually join 10c back in '94.

    Well, the tribal elders could just keep letting the love flow and maybe others will pick up on that vibe. :)

    Became a serious fan the day I first saw them 06/03/06 at East Rutherford 2 when I was 17. Kind of liked them for a few years and even though I knew about 4 of the songs that were played I was instantly hooked. Had the last seat in Continental yet couldn't have been happier. Kind of miss those days as it gets so easy for fans to get hissy over a slight bump in the road.

    I have been a ten club member since 98... However, I had 2 board names. One I had 2 boards ago and 1 i had since 2004. When they combined names I didn't know I would loose all my posts and my year changed. Kinda sucked.

    I don't have my old name anymore, hence this name ;p And yes, I said I barely ever log in. Was just an observation.

    Honestly, I joined last summer after my first show. I was a huge fan from when Ten came out and I was 11. I never saw a reason to join a fan club then, and that included REM, whom I have always adored. Honestly, as a kid, I didn't have any way to get to those early shows. And then, for many reasons, I floated away into less intense music for many years. But I came back a few years ago, finally went to a show, and probably haven't spent a day since then not listening to some PJ. It blew my mind, and then I got to go to Hartford, thanks to a 10c member. And those experiences probably have something to do with being so bummed about the Philly shows today.

    Anyhow, I think part of the surge right NOW, not going back several years, has to do with touring and a new album coming out. Relatedly, lurkers might be coming out a bit more now too. Just a theory.

    I'm by no means a "new" member, I was a poster on the old board, just under a different name...My old handle was StoneyChix, But when I merged my accts I lost that name and couldn't use it anymore and therefore I had to come up with a new name. I also lost all my posts from the old board,so whatever posts I have made on here are only a mere fraction of ALL my posts.

    I have been in the 10c for quite a few years , I originally joined the 10c in 95', stopped in 03'(due to money issues..and just having had my 1st child) and rejoined again in 05' and am VERY PROUD of it!! :D
