Shut it down for good once the singles actually arrive, but I think getting the downloads and artwork and deep are all pretty good signs that we're just waiting for production now, as per the newsletter.
If you're in any of the Facebook groups, when they start arriving, you'll see: Them being posted People asking what they are People asking how to get one People being confused if they should get one And more!

not to mention the confusion over the years.

The biggest confusion, IMO, comes from one of two things...the timing of the record being shipped and the analog items.
People also don't read newsletters and emails. That's on them.
Before the analog/digital phase, they'd send an email sometime around August or October telling people that their memberships should be current with current addresses. 10C would try to send them around December or January. I can't speak for the 90s, but after about 2003, most of them would come in the middle of the next year.
Someone who signed up in February of 2005 would get the reminder email in late 2005. They'd get the single in the middle of 2006. If they weren't paying attention, they'd think it was the 2006 single because it arrived in 2006.
I don't know how many times I had to correct people about that.
Here's the confusing part: If they signed up in, say, November 2005, it was after the deadline for the 2005 single, but they would be eligible for the 2006 single...which would come in the middle of 2007. They'd think it was the 2007 single.
This was rectified when they moved the deadline to 12/31. Anyone who signed up at any point in the year was eligible.
The other issue was with the bonus items. I renew in February or March. I get that code when I renew. Some people tried to use their 2017 code on the 2018 shirt in early 2018. That won't work. I'd get my code for the shirt when I renew. I use it right away, but I have to wait for the record.
When they did the stickers, patches and mini-posters, they were sending those out. For YEARS, people would wonder where those were. "I pay all this money and haven't got anything from them in years. Where's my mini-poster they used to send?"
What they didn't realize was that 10C sent an email explaining that codes have to be used. They were sitting on a ton of expired t-shirt codes.
When people are thinking about joining 10C, I tell them two things: 1) Do not use a throwaway email address. Use one you check on a frequent basis. 10C sends lots of emails with important updates.
2) Read all emails 10C sends. Most of the questions asked can be answered by reading the emails or website.
If the boss emails "free lunch in the break room at 1pm" and you miss it and go to the cafeteria, well...
Ten Club doesn't make it hard...if people put in the few minutes it takes to read the emails.

With all that was going on, I forgot about then.
