netty Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 last time I checked, there was only the preview videos on youtube. all others have been removed. I`d love to know how you worked out that the forums are filled with squirelly voiced kids Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amanda Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 Is it just me that is tired of seeing this thread bumped with the same negative stuff ?It just seems a bit redundant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
netty Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 bugs me because most of the negative comments are made by people who arent even members. I can understand people being pissed off over issues to do with the actual fanclub but when the only issue seems to be the members of the forums (who are also members of this forum, just in case anybody missed that), it does get a wee bit boring.

Johnny Park Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 the idiot club forum doesn't interest me too much, but I do admit that the other stuff isn't too bad. Though I was expecting their merchandise to be a bit more impresive, yet all they have is a plain t-shirt & hat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feelingsquoshy Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 yeah, I kinda hate the fact that I paid $20 per year (I've been there for two years) so that I could see "exclusive" video, when the whole time I could have just gone on youtube a watched it for FREEfor instance..here's an "exclusive vid" that you can only see on the idiot club...yet here it is posted for youhttp://youtube.com/watch?v=gnbdFFwFYikWell, that flick was not worth 20$, though Tre saying "dirt" with a British accent might've been worth a dollar. I totally understand it if you're frustrated cos of the wasted money.bugs me because most of the negative comments are made by people who arent even members. I can understand people being pissed off over issues to do with the actual fanclub but when the only issue seems to be the members of the forums (who are also members of this forum, just in case anybody missed that), it does get a wee bit boring.People are allowed to have an opinion. If most people dislikes Idiot Club, why the hell would they say positive shit about it? I believe a certain someone dislikes when people are disenfranchised. Go fucking figure.

penutt Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 I don't know about the Idiot Club, but I love GDA and this Forum.I'm actually becoming a bit addicted *awesome*There are sometimes really random things to talk about, but then again, aren't we all random?See that was just random. *goes off banging her head against the wall because she's being random*i bet all of that was planned Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zoki Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 I disliked Idiot Club's concept of "paying for perks" right from the beginning. It's like a brother/sisterhood. I think it's bitchy of Green Day. Don't get me wrong, I love my boys, but to me Idiot Club is just what the name says it is; A Club of and for Idiots.It's like GD are prostituting...and not in the way I would like them to prostitute They would then have to take money out of their own pockets to maintain the site, they don't have an obligation to us. They have little to no computer experience, they have to get someone to run the site. I highly doubt any of the money gets leftover. Like someone mentioned before, if they were charging 20 bucks a month, then yes, they are benefiting financially. It's a small amount of money given the fact that they give back the way they do.

It's a small amount of money given the fact that they give back the way they do.There are still a good amount of people on there, each of them paying 20$ a year, so that's not "a small amount" put together. It's more than it costs to pay for a 'com'. Also, if Green Day weren't getting money for it, then why couldn't they have put those "private" videos on a free site? I don't see any reason for them to put exclusive videos on that paid site if they didn't get any profit from it at all. Like I said, then they could've just put it on a free-access site. If they didn't get paid for putting videos on a fee-based site, then posting those videos there and nowhere else would be really bitchy.I don't know for sure if they benefit financially from it, I just put two and two together.

Netty said it best one time, (correct me if I quoted you wrong Netty) ..."that there is a difference between REGISTERED members and PAID members." Meaning any Joe Blow can go to the IC and register their name but until they actually pay the 20 bucks the registration means nothing.It has been said by a one member of IC and GDC that a paid fan club goes against the princpals that Green Day tout ( that's quickie verison of that thought)The cost is actually nominal (stop yakking on your cell phone that Mom and Dad pay for OR go do odd jobs; it's winter, shovel driveways to EARN the money.) Green Day is not the first band to have a paid fan club and certainly they will not be the last. So I guess I don't see what all the fuss is about. It's not like they're the only band to charge a fee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not like they're the only band to charge a fee.I don't fucking care what's been rehashed anywhere.That's my personal opinion I gave. And by the way; I don't "yakk" on my cell phone, cos I actually pay for that myself with the money I make by working, cos my mom's poor and my dad's fucking dead (not that it matters, I would've worked anyway cos I don't get my shit paid for).Sorry to sound cliché, but you don't know me, so don't get personal on my ass, fucker.I'm not fussing 'bout SHIT. I am simply stating my opinion about something I don't think is right by a band I know well. If people wanna waste their hard-earned money on GD-flicks on the internet, then so be it. I can't control that. I just said (twice, even) that it would be strange to post videos only on a site that charges the members and nowhere else, if you didn't get anything for doing it.And I don't know why the hell you're bringing up the difference between a paid account and a mere registration, cos that shit just ain't relevant. I'm talking about those who does pay, and I don't give a shit about those who doesn't pay.I know Green Day aren't the first band to have a paid fan club! I don't care about that! It's become evident over the years the the members of Green Day aren't totally ignorant financially, and I only wish I had their talent for those things! I don't criticize Green Day for anything, I'm just saying I believe they're getting some kind of perk from this. Not necessarily money.But you're totally missing my point, and I have no idea how to put it any clearer, so I'm just gonna let you stay in your pre-judging state of fucking mind, asshole.

sampalletband Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 *sigh*I am sorry if you didn't understand the GENERIC use of YOU in my line about yakking on a cell phone. I assume that you would have understand it was a generic 'you' and not meaning you personally.I am not judging anyone but it seems as though you are and quite nastily at that. I guess you are the only one allowed to have an opinon on this board. I gave my opinion in a calm and adult manner that didn't resort to childish name calling like your post did.I am now through with this topic since you are unable to behave in an adult manner.Have a nice day.

midlfecrysis Posted May 7, 2007 Share Posted May 7, 2007 I've been a member of the Idiot club since last September. I've actually really enjoyed the forum. It is very well organized, and Netty does a great job running things smoothly. I have been a bit dissappointed in the updates and Q&A, but I always have referred to GDA to get up to speed anyway. GDA was the first site I looked to for all the Green Day information, both past and present. I joined the Idiot club out of curiousity, but I haven't been dissapointed.
