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

    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

    hahahaha...

    I'm 31, does that count as an elder? It sure feels like it sometimes....

    I love everyone on the board...except everyone I don't.

    Well, to be fair, my "year" here is 2003. That is the year I joined the Message Pit. I've been a Ten Club member since 1994.

    and I in '95....those "joined" times are misleading. Lots of tribal elders around.

    Well, it's taken me months and months just to figure out how this new board works. I think that speaks volumes.....to my ability to adapt to change.

    It's not, as others have mentioned, it's just that the new members do seem to post more, which is understandable. Also, as others have mentioned, the joined date really doesn't mean much, either in time in the 10c or board. With the many changes that have occurred over the years lots got lost. It's a great place though and I for one have lots of fun here and have met lots of great friends. :)

    OP is looking at the "join" date under everyone's avatar which sometimes matches your 10c join date but sometimes appears to match when you made your forum account, i'm not sure how that's figured out to be truthful...

    And someone said something about newer members starting arguments... it's been like this (argumentative) for a long time... not just recently... it happens every time they tour or release an album... it's just that the baby birdies wanna get fed and all so a lot of chirping happens... but it's been like this for a long time... I did notice it getting progressively worse here around 04 or so however....

    edit: what i mean to say is it's not just newer members causing the shit storms.

    With a band like Pearl Jam, who's been around for almost 20 years, you really have to expect that fans cannot be classified according to the year in which they joined the 10C. Fans from the "golden era" (i.e., 1991-1998 or so) are mostly into their late 30's or early 40's now (one would assume) probably have different mentalities, one upon which post counts or join dates have no impact on their ability to enjoy good music.

    With time, tastes and priorities change. Just tonight, I went to see Kiss perform. In this city, this is apparently a big deal as I couldn't even get within 300ft of the stage an hour before the band hit the stage. For a few minutes, I thought "I'm getting screwed, I deserve more for my $16!!" A few songs in, I found that I could enjoy the music just as well from the back of the park. Later, I grew a little tired of this "act" that I could have sworn I saw bit "farewell" over 9 years ago and chose to move onto other stages and was able to enjoy three other bands with much more space and peace.

    All this is to say that we were all "new fans" at one point in time. What this ultimately means is very subjective. Some of us "older fans" - I think that my join date is 2001-02, although I started listening to PJ in 1994 - seem preoccupied with complaining about not securing certain items or having difficulty getting tickets while these "new fans", based on their posts, seem content with just getting an album in stores or being in the venue. I know that I'll be enjoying this summer's Toronto show even with my "bad luck" that befalls me at the 10C ticket window that has my best seat being in row V of an amphitheatre!!.
