netty Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 really? I`ve not had anything to say it will be kept going. certainly not in the format it is in now. I know after the first rumours about the revamp last year I was told emphatically that it wasnt closing but apart from the first 12 months its been a waste land in some ways and march was the first sign we had that the plug was being pulled. if it is only temporary I wish like fuck somebody would tell us what is going on with it!

Waiting901 Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 Well...it definitely feels like a funeral on the IC. It's a bummer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trina Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 I hope someone finds out what's really going on with it...If it's temporarily closed and they're revamping it - I'm excitedIf they're closing it down because they know they shouldnt have charged fans for it in the first place - I'm excited...yeah...i get excited alotI hope they still keep some sort of fan club where they share things with us but I really don't think we should have to pay for it...not because I'm all up on my highhorse with unrealistic ideals and agendas but because honestly alot of people don't have that amount of money to pay...I know I don't...But I really do hope something is going on with it anyways...So netty I'm confused when you were like its just us rats left or something...do you mean that there's still some membersleft or is no-one able to get access or can only mods...sorry i ask alot of questions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tripe Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 So netty I'm confused when you were like its just us rats left or something...do you mean that there's still some membersleft or is no-one able to get access or can only mods...There are still people that can get on over there. I can, and so can pretty much everyone I know over there. At least for now. It's very weird that one of the mods was "locked out," I don't understand that at all! It does seem like the beginning of the end. Whether something new will arise in it's place....no one seems to know, at this point anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fuzz Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 I don't really see why they'd get rid of it all together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danlovesyou Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 I don't really see why they'd get rid of it all together. they shouldnt get rid of it altogether... but the whole charging thing... im not sure what they do, do they hive it to charity or is it "pocketed" as such?

TheBullwinkle Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 It should be denying me access right now, because I didn't renew my subscription, but it's still letting me through. Whatevs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

British Idiot Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 Surely when you're months away from releasing a new album it isn't the time to close down your online fan club?It would be better to keep it open, keep charging, but make it properly worthwhile. I'd happily pay my $10 a year to get access to Idiot Club Member pre-sale gig tickets for example.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jake smith Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 i was going to join until i found out you have to pay. forget that shit. i don't like spending money Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flake Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 I have been a member since it started, but to be honest its a waste. Being in the UK I allegedly couldn't enter the competitions cos I didn't live in the USA (still did though!) and like Netty says, we never had any pre-sale for tickets cos the site was set up well after the world tour had started.I have just tried to log in now and there is no forum or shop or anything, just a boring front page.I'm fed up with it. Wish they'd let us know whats happening, or at least the mods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flake Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 and you still pay for thatNo, my subscription finished in September and they haven't renewed it. Netty said earlier they aren'trenewing them at the mo. They usually do it automatically when it's due. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Korky Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 I think it's outrageous that the mods haven't even been told what is going on. Other than one very short, cryptic message - why can they not tell them what is going on?! Especially to the mod who lost his account! This is all very unprofessional and extremely disappointing. If there is a new Idiot Club, it's doubtful that I will join. I have defended that place so many times and never said anything negative about it until now. Huge thanks to Netty for all she's done for us over the years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
