**nobodylikesyou** Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 the idiot club is meant to be exclusive, like it or not. the members just feel they would like to get something for that $20 a year. It's not selfish, you would still get the information when its officially announced to the public.yeah and people are made to break rules, therefore the exclusiveness is short lived.

Sole Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 my apoligies, i assumed that's what was going on when you said:and i saw the word "n00b" somewhere on a different post. or something along the lines of it. i was skimming, sue me! no harsh feeling here!as for the teenies. Admit it, every single girl (regardless how much of a "true fan" they are now or whatever as they say) have been a teenie at some point or another. then they grow out of it. Encourage the teenies that there's more the the band than the pretty faces, instead of bashing them which doesn't enforce anything. Trust me, i didn't have anyone being nice to me when i said i liked green day. and i surely didn't have anybody handing me a cookie when i said i thought "Billy Joe is hott". I turned out more than well i think.Yes everyone is a teenie at some point in their lives. However making multiple threads about it gets annoying. What I love about this site is we can all get into a heated debate, and then a little while later its like we didn't disagree on anything. On the IC most of the time you have people who agree with you, or they don't talk to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hermione Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 the idiot club is meant to be exclusive, like it or not. the members just feel they would like to get something for that $20 a year. It's not selfish, you would still get the information when its officially announced to the public.I thought the "exclusive" parts were the forum, videos, giveaways, competitions etc. Wanting to know a piece of information about them and keep it from other people is just childish and pointless - how would other people knowing affect them?

How immoral for someone to find out an interesting fact about Green Day without paying for it - the crime of the century! :lol: Exactly. Hi we love the band, but we aren't gonna tell anyone the new release date for the album until the band announces it .....because we paid $20 to hear it early.

Ila Reto Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 What I love about this site is we can all get into a heated debate, and then a little while later its like we didn't disagree on anything. On the IC most of the time you have people who agree with you, or they don't talk to you.yea on here, we can bitch someone out and then be tight with them an hour later. we're all one big mess of friends on here, whereas people on there i dont think have the same closeness. that's only based on what i've recently heard of course. i dont want to rush into any conclusions. and sorry for just about snapping at you before. i was scanning old old old threads that were made before i joined, and i basically found an andres hate thread. now, for those of you who dont know how attached i become to a group of people, i was in marching band. we had our marching coach woodfin who i love and respect very much. now that i dont have the band anymore, i later found the fourm. and this is the world to me. nobody messed or bashed woodfin while i was there, and i dont think it's a good idea if i see people getting on andres, or anybody else on here, either. it just got me majorly pissed off. sorry again about that. okay sorry about the off topic....

Hermione Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 Yeah but whatsername, don't you gets tonnes of other stuff like videos, giveaways, competitions and all that for your money? :lol: Exactly. Hi we love the band, but we aren't gonna tell anyone the new release date for the album until the band announces it .....because we paid $20 to hear it early. It's the right thing to do. Green Day want them to keep it a secret. Billie would be so upset if he knew his trust had been betrayed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fuzz Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 Sharing info between forums should be expected. I think it's very selfish and arrogant to think that you're only entitled to news because you paid early. I never allowed the videos or full-text Q&A's to be posted here or on GDA, because it's that kind of content that I think deserves to be kept exclusive. When they were doing the Q&A's and just posting the text, I would maybe pick out one question/answer and post it on GDA, inviting people to join the IC to read the rest. Or if they said something that I felt was "news worthy" I'd do the same. That worked as more of a promotion for the IC than a detriment to it.

mbk Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 People politely disagree with you there.Not true. People on the IC forum can be downright abusive. And it's so cliqueish there that other people reinforce the abusiveness instead of calling out bullshit when they see it.Not that it's that much better here when it comes to abusiveness and nastiness, but it's not as overt, it doesn't really happen in the threads.

netty Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 I thought the "exclusive" parts were the forum, videos, giveaways, competitions etc. Wanting to know a piece of information about them and keep it from other people is just childish and pointless - how would other people knowing affect them?the exclusives on the idiot club has NEVER information! it has always been the videos/photos and the forums! to imply it was ever about getting info is absolute bollocks! this is how people get the wrong information about the idiot club. people post derogatory comments about the place without actually being members or even bothering doing some basic research like looking on the official site to see what the membership includes. and yes, we get people being abusive on the idiot club but then people can be bloody nasty on here as well. and yes, we have little cliques but then again... there are some on here as well. it might not be quite so obvious on here with not having the bloody "groups" (which I personally didnt want in the first place) but they exist on here just as much. every green day forum I have ever been on has the same bitching, the same elitist attitudes, the same bullshit. must be a green day fan thing or something.

midlfecrysis Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 I've been in the Idiot club for a while. I joined when there was the occasional thing going on still, but basically nothing happens there now. I wouldn't advise joining right now.I'm still in it just so if something ever happens, I'll be there for it haha.I agree with you. The information you get here on GDA is far more thorough and up to date, especially since Andre's is our spy. I keep my membership active mostly because of the forum,but I'm seldom on it anymore since I have met some friends on GDC and gotten familiar with people here. As far as the money goes, shoot, I've spent more money contributing to this site in the past 6 months, so that doesn't really bother me. So in the long run, if you are considering joining, wait until things start heating up again, and the band put out there next release. Then we'll see if there is something exclusive over there to talk about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hermione Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 Er, well yeah, exactly Netty! The person I was talking to said they wanted the information kept secret, so I was saying that would be ridiculous, as you can see if you read our conversation. Of course I know that's not what the IC's like, I wasn't criticising it or it's members. I was only criticizing the person who suggested that people on there should keep information to themselves. I can clearly see the exclusive parts are the videos etc and not the information as I do know what the membership includes, that's exactly the point I was making!

netty Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 you know, I was thinking about this news thing that people keep going on about. the main site posts all the things about tour dates, record release dates and things like that. how much of the news stories that are posted on the gda do you actually think should be posted on the official site? the links to scan of magazines obviously cant because of copywrite issues. they could post about the magazines having interviews but they`d have to include the fact that none of them are new at the moment and are just rehashes/full of mistakes any way. the stories about cover versions on youtube or whatever... same issue. videos from the tubbies gigs, again same issue. birthdays and anniversaries.. I suppose they could but its hardly news when you get down to it. the one about Tre and his search for a stuffed moneky... yeah, if Tre decided he actually wanted to see if the fans could find him one. its the kind of daft thing he might do. I do go on the main gda site and read some of the stories and what not. I`m not saying what is posted isnt news or slagging it off in any way. I just dont see the majority of it being posted on the official site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
midlfecrysis Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 I've watched you women on the IC for almost 2 years now and you all act much more pathetic, crazy and immature than all the teenaged Green Day fans togetherI resemble that remark, and proud of it. You're only as old as you act, and my son says I'm the oldest 12 year old he knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
