    It's the give me info now I don't want to look for it myself mentality that drives me nuts there. I try and help people out as much as I can but it gets tiring some of the questions that get asked. Once the lotto opens up it will be even worse. 
    For sure. It is a huge group now too... 65,0000 members or something?? Any FB group that has that many people in it is inevitably going to be a shit show, no matter what mods try to do to keep it under control.
    I had to block that group ages ago

    Facebook is a great place as well to find extra tickets especially a couple of days before the show.

    No, there is a ton going on over there. PJNB is right about that being the fastest way to find extra tickets. It's also best for getting rid of spare tickets fast (face value of course), and it's pretty good for making social arrangements around shows as well. Plus it has a lot of your regular fan-based material. Where that group really goes to shit is in the comment threads on just about every post, lol.

    So grateful for the porch forum, I tried out a pearl jam facebook group and it was not pleasant!! 
    The official Pearl Jam ten club members one?
    Yes. The sense of community on the porch forum was missing. 
    It always amused me when PJ changed the forum design a few years ago and a load of people were crying about the bright white colour scheme. The same people took their toys and stormed off to the Facebook forum... even though FB has a mainly white colour scheme

    Didn’t have to do with the color as much as it had to do with repeat bans of the same 10 or so folks who now get to have their jollies over in FB land. Where you can say anything!

    It is ironic that respect is a one way street on here.  We expect the band and Ten Club to act a certain way towards us ( we are paying customers though), but when we know the band wants to keep a tour release quiet or Ed asks for no filming at his shows, we basically say “fuck that” and do what we want.
    The band wants us to keep a tour release quiet?  What are you talking about?  When did the band ever care about the rumor mill?

    I joined that FB group a while back but never go there. In general I can't stand FB for anything other than following the bands I like so I can keep up with tour announcements.

    I am not talking about rumor mill.  And based on shutting down the message board for 3 days I would say the band very much does care.

    Did they really shut down the forum all weekend because they messed up their own announcement???
    Yes sir. 
    I found it quite annoying. I mean it was more out of principle than anything. Lock out the paying members with nothe even a "be back on Monday" comment after their own botched job. Just seemed quite unprofessional to me.

    Still gonna try for Wrigley tickets though!

    Yeah I think others have said it too that it was pretty amateur. I agree. Whatever though. I strangely found it kind of refreshing to be locked out of the forum.  I was so much more productive for those few days. LOL

    I was only annoyed because this was the page that was open on my computer, and when it wouldn't load I went and double checked that I paid the internet bill.

    I barely check the forum on the weekends. Didn't miss much apparently.
