a keychain? I gots nothin'! Except for the mousepad that I BOUGHT, and the t-shirt I BOUGHT for my daughter, both online.
No spoken words said:I have tons of evidence supporting the fact that I'm a dork, no keychain is going to make it any worse.

yeah but we all arent spending 40 bucks for to see Axver's posts
an occassional slip up every once in a while would be acceptable, the amount of mistakes U2.com makes is ridiculous
mirrorballman said:but yeah the site is full of errors, and its really bothering since you get to realize that the page is run by people who have absolutely no clue about U2...

What U2.com should be doing, though, is providing better information first. No one should be scooping them on anything, that should be the place to turn to for all U2 news and announcements but, sadly, it's usually the last.
dsmith2904 said:I've been wondering about the renewal thing myself. If there's not going to be a tour benefit next year (because it's still up in the air whether or not this is going to be a multi-year tour), I can't see that many people wanting to renew at the full price. I lucked out, $20 bucks for two presales. I never did get my swanky membership card but could care less about that. I wouldn't pay $40 unless I was guaranteed several presale opportunities and other cool things.
The site had been promising great things to come for members. Other than the occasional exclusive in the Tours section, I haven't seen anything that great. No contests, no CDs, no pictures, no magazines, nothing. U2 should really talk to Madonna about how to run a website and fan club, Icon rocks.
thrillme is right, though, there are plenty of sites (this one included) that offer U2 news, reviews and set lists so U2.com shouldn't have to provide that information.

Gen. Chat said:I think we need a poll to see how many fans will renew their memberships. I wish I knew how to set one up. The band has acknowledged the problems with the presale in interviews but I haven’t read anything specific about their site, which on good days sucks donkeys and is not worthy of such a great band. The only hope in hell to change things is to hit them where it hurts, their wallets. I've found just as good or better information faster just from this site. Lack of dedicated manpower is not an excuse since many talented fans would probably do it for free just to be associated in some small way with the band. As it stands now the U2.com membership is only good for aggravation.
