    The old board closes on Jan 15, so more people should arrive then. I'm mostly staying there until it is closed. But lots of people aren't coming over, since this is a 10C only board. So a lot of regular posters on the Pit who aren't 10C members are gone.

    I like the new board better, even if I had to change names...

    I think I'm one of few, though...

    I can't seem to be able to log in to the old site anymore, so I guess the transition was easy for me. I am here now. Everything will be ok ;)


    If I knew where it was I would take you there. There's much more than this

    The Porch will still be busy but the other sections might die though since most of them aren't coming over cuz they can't use it.

    i just wish this board wouldn't be exclusive. or that they weren't shutting the other down. it seems like a slap in the face to a lot of people who have supported the band over the years to make them pay for access to a web forum. there was always so much going on over there... it's been my favorite website. now i just dont' know :(

    I hope this board will be as much fun next week as the old board was

    hopefully the moving train dies quickly ;)


    personally i don't see it as them charging to access the forum

    it's a benefit of a PJ Fan club membership

    I agree, if they are going to shut down the other board then this forum should remain the same as the other. I realize that this forum seems to be designed for 10c members, but others should be able to come here as well. I totally support the 10c...I have been paying my membership ever since it was only $5 to join!

    Let's be optimistic about this forum though..looks like alot of hard work went into it...I am excited about it.... :D

    2 things:
    where does that info come from?
    and
    10c only board? :shock: :? :(

    bad bad bad move!

    It is a slap in the face. If I had known this was in the pipeline, I'd never have renewed my 10c membership this fall. This is the last straw, and I'm done with it.

    I don't like the layout nor color scheme. Anyone know how to change it?
    A child's rhyme stuck in my head...
    It said "Life is nothing but a dream."
    I've spent so many years in question
    To find I'd known this all along.

    I think it might look differ depending on if you use Internet explorer vs. Firefox. I have heard Firefox is easier to see the colors with which is what I use. I have not tried it using IE.
    So I'll just lie down and wait for the dream

    a tour/concert announcement would do the trick!
    I love to turn you on

    I have mixed feelings about a paid membership being required. Like what happens if you're banned from the board - are you banned from logging into your Goods account too? Does it f*ck with your seniority? I liked how the things were separate before.

    However, between the Pearl Jam Community board, and Red Mosquito board, everyone has somewhere to post. But there is a special thing about everyone coming to one unified place... but I suppose PJ has to pay their bills too.
    ADD 5,200 to the post count you see, thank you. :)

    now i see why people are complaining....this place looks like shit in ie....people, switch to firefox....it looks 10 times better

    that is a classic ... you wouldn't have renewed your membership? so you only have a membership because there was a free message board?


    i agree this will likely reduce traffic... which is bad for the forum
    but i assume it will make it easier for the mods


    i guess people are just voicing their opinions but it amazes me how quickly that turns into a bitch fest...
    have any of you called the 10c to discuss this? or you just talk shit from behind the safety of your keyboard?

    You can register an account here without needing to buy a membership in the Ten Club. But you will not be able to use the Ten Club Message Board or have access to exclusive Ten Club content. But you will be able to make purchases in the GOODS store and receive emails from Pearl Jam.

    Firefox definitely does make the site look better. But how boneheaded are the designers of the site if they don't design using the browser with by far the most market penetration? I get that it is cool to use Chrome, Safari, FireFox, and shun IE, but not when you're designing sites, and especially not when you're designing sites people have to pay to post on.

    agreed....although i doubt they designed it without ie in mind...they seem to be building this as they go and using us a beta testers....it will be a while before everything is running smoothly....of course, they could have left as it was and we would have been happy :)

    I just did a side-by-side comparison with FF and E and saw no difference whatsoever. Specifically, what does everyone else see?
