Force Of Nature

I'll tell you what, after a few days I've finally come around to this site.

I agree that a slight background change would make it easier on the eyes, but other than that, I like it.

Was always going to be an adjustment period. Change is change, and most people dont like that

I remember the old AOL forum in 1996 my first year in college. Spent a lot of time on in the computer lab because of it. It's come a long way for sure.

I'll get used to it. The only thing I wish they'd have done is get rid of or reset the post counts.

Even better, to make it fair they could have assigned post counts by lottery.

why do you want post counts reset?

Some people are approaching some very thin ice. If you'd like to comment on the forum change, that's fine. Rude comments about people, Ten Club, Band, other employees of the band are NOT ok. See the Posting Guidelines to preserve posting privileges.

is there a point in even commenting on the forum changes? is 10C really going to take our opinions into consideration? if not, you might as well lock this thread up along with all the others discussing the change because everyone is just waisting their time vocalizing their opinion and putting themselves on "thin ice" as you put it.

Genuine feedback, when I click Discussions on the top tab, it'd be great to see all the latest threads but without all the announcements always at the top, even though they dont have recent posts e.g. all the live concert fanviews

Like the alert when someone has responded to your thread. Sometimes my forum use if more pointed, rather than just time hanging out.

So what are your thoughts of the forum Kat?
Here to stay no matter what?

Were you around in 1994 on the AOL boards when that place was huge? That "board" locked up at 500 posts...and that happened a LOT. :x And were you around in 1998 for our first official forum? That one broke all the time...but we had an official place to talk about our favorite band's music and tours and etc. I'm sorry some people are unhappy but this is our forum now. We'll work on it being a really nice place where people can connect, on computer and mobile devices. :x

.................temporary sig................
Feel like voting?

Although you did not tell me what your overall opinion is of the boards,
I'm just glad that you :x confirmed that this board is here to stay, no sense complaining now....
Here's your supper, eat it or starve..

Thank you for responding....

Are we really not able to call out 10c on things they do that we disagree with? I'm sorry, and maybe I'm on thin ice, but this really is a 10c issue that goes beyond font / screen color. This goes to a fundamental lack of planning, development, testing, rollout, and most importantly - communication. The board upgrade is not the issue. The tweaks that would need to be dealt with post-rollout is not the issue. Getting used to a new message board platform is not really the issue (that takes care of itself in time). The issue is that there was no communication around this, and it was very clearly prematurely rolled out. We pay money to the 10c, and are customers - although I don't think that is often taken into account by the 10c mgmt. Getting negative customer feedback when an issue creates customer dissatisfaction shouldn't come as a surprise. It is a pretty standard response and every business is aware of it. The problem is that the 10c doesn't always act like a business. I know we shouldn't call names, but someone should be held accountable. The reality is nobody will be held accountable, and we'll be made to feel ungrateful for complaining.

Technology has increased seven fold since the AOL days as well. Should we just settle for untapped board technology?

That's what I was thinking.... Are we supposed to be comparing this forum to the lowest standards possible?

The reality is the people, the masses, have the power and don't use it. We fund this machine. They can make the rules, ignore our suggestions/complaints whatever and we all keep coming back for more. The band, this forum, the merch, all of it has a demand. So either get used to it, or don't be part of the masses that fund it. Sure there are times when on rare occasion they take feedback but its pretty obvious their stance on the new forum. I for one didn't post much but came here often, I don't come on here nearly as much anymore because its hard to read and follow and more of a hassle than a pleasure. As much as we like to think we are customers , we are not. we are paying to be in what they deem a "club", and just like any other club you play by the rulers guidelines.... Its kind of like when Bush was president, nothing makes sense but that is who is calling the shots.
