  • hey there 10c..

    i dont think i have to repeat what the majority thinks about this "cool" forum change
    you can read about it at some threads,at the poll thread,at the one Kat start about it..
    the numbersand the comments tells the truth..

    i just want to say a few things i feel and realise,so you guys there at the club ,to understand why the negativity and the complains about this change..

    to tell about the unfriendly thing and cant read the forum,about the lost pm and lost user names,the vilation of our privacy,u can find your friend list,cant edit post,cant delete post,just for get in return a second pj facebook acount is unnecessary..so many members said all 2 days now...

    every day here,hundreds,and maybe some days a few thousands come here becouse they love this place..
    cos feel to be a part of a community..a community you as fan club and the band create..
    ..cos they share their passion and their love for this band..
    some come here only to read,some to read and post sometimes and some are fuckin post their shit all day like my self..
    we are not just paid customers we think we gonna run the club cos we pay a few dollars per year and you own us something
    we arent coming here only during presale tickets or during a sale of a limited edition product writes pj on it
    we arent coming here cos we have the right to be in the forum cos its in our privelenge as paid members..

    we are here cos our friends are here..our brothers and sisters from all over the world are here..those friends who support the club even after u fuck in shipping ,or at ticket presale
    those friends we share hotels,rides with the car,buy eachother beers at the parties,share spare tickets,make travel plans together,share hotel rooms,help eachother in a charity,organize holy grails,help a fellow fan in need,say prayers for some other fan have a health problem,give free things someone searhing,help with infos when someone want to travel in a place,travel from all over the world in the middle of nowhere to celebrate with the band their birthday party..
    we are not just those paid customers that post in facebook and make fun of us,"you still go to that place?..is this thing called pj forum still in play ?" and they just clik like at facebook at eddie photos..

    we are here cos feels like home..we are here cos we love this home..
    and we love it and care like its ours..
    not cos it belong to us cos we give u a few bucks per year..not cos we want to keep our numbers and membership so we have good seats....but cos we love it and "our people " are here..

    those couple of days with all those people complaining,isnt cos are against the club and only know how to bitching...
    no,we are here and complaining,cos we are seeing,that "our home" is getting down..
    "our home",makes us feel not wellcome...
    we are complaining cos we care about this place..cos our buddies are here..cos we want to enjoy coming here and smile when we open the forum..

    dont take this away form us..isnt biggie..do a step back..wasnt a success move..this things happens...so what..ask those tech people..if he can add a few things to the old forum and we all gonna forget about it and go on..

    we are not just paid members and we dont like a change....

    we are people who see something we love to hurt us and make us feel not wellcome..

    cos 2 days know..this is exactly how i feel..

    dont feel like home..you kicking me out..

    with much respect and more love

    Dimitris


    IT'S EVOLUTION BABY!!!!!

    yep, it stinks

    same thing happened to U2.com forum. A whole lot of people were there for years, all friends, followed the tour, etc. then they changed the forum (looks a lot like this one does now) and now it's a ghost-town, was easier for people to use facebook. hardly anyone posts there anymore. Really sad.

    I was trying to stay out of the debate....but I have to chime in and say I agree. I see absolutely NO benefit to this layout, and I truly do not see this being something that we all eventually just get used to. This layout has the potential to kill this awesome community.

  • we all seem to have the same list of problems with the new layout.Granted i don't post a lot but i do like to stalk pages and learn so much of whats going on with our favorite band.the bright page and small font killz my eyes. 10c please listen to the complaints of the fans and super fans like Dimitris who has helped all of us here.

    I wonder if they have stats for threads created per day and posts per day. Then they can truely see the decline in community participation...

    I think it's kind of funny how now, we all kind of stay within one thread with the criticism. It's too confusing to make another one... imageimageimage

    This new layout makes me wonder if someone at 10C monitors traffic on this site and will notice a steep decline in participation (and traffic in general).

    Too much white!

    Too small font!

    Can't post from smart phone!

    haven't explored enough to figure out other gripes... but I'll let you know when I come across them.

    Please don't divert everything from here to facebook.... i hate that fucking place.
    Houston, Texas... Believe it or not, there are 7 million people here... must be a couple of fans who'd love to see you play.

    Anyone remember GeoCities? Now that was a thing of glory!

    Seriously though, the new forum is much easier to read on my phone now. But a little offensive to the eyes on my laptop. If I could just change the background color, I'd be happy!

    Don't use/have Facebook, so not sure how that function works.

    Otherwise, it appears the world seems to have continued spinning...

    This site is a horror show now. I can't believe anyone who saw this new site before it went live didn't jump up and down and ask the people who designed it " What the EFF is this???".

    This may be the worst visual design of a forum I have ever seen. Atrocious. Someone please send me an email when new tour dates are imminent in US, this site is an abomination.
