Goodbye, this use to be a really cool place

This all is a good reason for PJ to give us a SPIN THE BLACK CIRLCE place. Only vinyl talk allowed. Think that would solve you're problem
. If I were you I would stay. I am not long on these boards and know that you're very much liked around these parts. Once the mystery vinyl is landed everywhere I think that will clear up the vinyl threads. Everything will turn to normal, I presume. Post edited by JustaPJFan on0 -

Strange. Just a GOOD request IMO. Vinyl lovers are there a lot, don't understand why they shouldn't have their own place. As you already said, if you look at how many threads there are with VINYL in it, a own room would be good. Porch would turn to the old place then.Big Bank Hank said:

So because one forum you've demanded hasn't been created, you're taking your toys and leaving? Maybe it's just not feasible for the parameters of this place, maybe not enough asking for it, or it being a need for most. I'm sure it's not as simple as "hey, so-and-so wants this, let's get her done"
Either way, I hope you stick to your guns!
But...where will you be asking the band to hit up your place for a smoke-out?
(really though - you pay your dues, hope your voice is heard but if not, the end of the world is not near. I don't get how some of the rules here are applied or not, but pretty sure the mods aren't speech-Nazi's)0 -
I am totally with you, but the hardest thing is getting someone to listen to your ideas and concepts and not have them have a natural reaction as to be offended because they did not conceive the idea, an ideas section that they actually listen to fans ideas is the best idea ever (sure some of the ideas would suck, but many wouldn't) that would be something organic that would be free to grow and we would all be involved in it, however it will never happen because it seems they have this fortress in their minds that their way of doing things cannot be improved upon, but without thinking outside the box and challenging conventional ways of thinking and doing things, you would never have progress and evolution. I was naive in thinking that this board would follow the same ideals of the band, my bad.JustaPJFan said:

no I only joined after seeing Pearl Jam Twenty and thinking the Ten Club was a cool place where fans got to talk about the music and tour dates and the band, I have no desire to sift through merchandise which it is not like you can take it with you when you die, what you take with you are your life experiences and your wisdom and spiritual growth and inspirations, I kind of thought it would be a place reflective of the music and lyrics and the band members of Pearl Jam, which sadly I must concede I was extremely naive, not the first time that has happened, I am always led by my hearthedonist said:So because one forum you've demanded hasn't been created, you're taking your toys and leaving?

I get there are lots of merch threads right now but most are vinyl related and the 10C have just done one of their biggest sales with the mystery vinyl, it was bound to generate extra conversations about vinyl.
I get what you're saying about you cant take material things with you, but from what a lot of these vinyl enthusiasts seem to say is that listening to vinyl can be an experience in itself with the superior analogue quality. When there's a tour announcement there are plenty of similar threads about it and I dont see this as any different, just extra chatter about a recent event.0 -
But don't you partake of the merchandise too, in some way? Every picture you've posted of yourself reflects you wearing some of their garb. So by the same token...isn't vinyl merch as well?Big Bank Hank said:

Anyway, hopefully a lesson learned for you (though I'm not sure how naivete enters into it; this place is what it is, and those who run it can't accommodate every request).

yes lesson learned, Cameron Crowe romanticized it and the dreamer in me bought into it, I am sure there are other websites where I can talk with other fans about the music and the band, no worries, I will be good either wayhedonist said:

Wait - it's Cameron's fault?! I thought it was Stone's.
What about the merch comment I made, though - no credence to it?0 -
I thought that this was a place where our collective ideas and love could change the world, as I thought it was a reflection of the music, obviously this was not the place for it, not the first time I was wrong or last time I will be wrong either0

I like wearing Pearl Jam stuff and I have a few posters, I just don't like talking about it all the time or having to sift through threads about it, it seems like a waste of time, whereas a show, as anyone who has ever been to a show knows, is one of the most inspirational experiences of my life, and listening to the music brings me so much inspirationhedonist said:Wait - it's Cameron's fault?!

change the world? Cameron really did romanticise it for you didnt he
This place is whatever you want it to be, if you want to talk about a certain song then create a thread for it, if you want to talk about merch create a thread for it0 -
You've said goodbye before and you keep coming back. And posting polls. Sorry but it's true. Either stay or go. But don't keep making dramatic "Goodbye" posts. This place is OK. But isn't the beginning or ending of the world.0

My goodness, just post as you want. Search for things you can't find and if still no success, as Force said, make a thread for it.
Life is complicated. This place, not so much.
But, as with life, it's what you make of it, give to it, and take from it.

I've found many treasures while digging in the so-called dirt (cue Peter Gabriel!).
We're not all special little flowers, Hank.0 -
