I think it will give people enough of a taste of what goes on here, how the forum works, etc. so that they will hopefully be interested in signing up.

I'm undecided as far as if free will be able to post or not.... I will possibly start out with Free being able to post in a few of the forums, including 'Everything You Know Is Wrong'.

Also, there have been several times when I've just 'burned out' of working on the site or even paying attention - one time I didn't even look at it for 3 months, and when I returned the membership had trippled.
Desire4Bono said:On the subject of Zootopia, it gives me the headache to read its small print but I like it there. Someone mentioned 'freedoms' this board has that Zootopia doesn't, but the only ones I can think of is that you can't have a major potty mouth there and bashing of and joking on band members or each other is not so tolerated as it is here. They don't put up with fights, personal insults and heated political stuff, like country vs. country arguments. They don't allow spreading rumors and negative joking on the band or a band member either, no matter how harmless you may think that is, the band doesn't like it and u2.com doesn't accept it. You may say those things don't happen here, but I have seen it. Everyone has their own sense of judgement, and I think here sometimes popularity, personal feelings and alliances get in the way of things where over there, they stop it, no matter who did it or who said it. They don't put up with people making aliases just to insult a band member or a forum member or people joining up just to stir shit. Again, there may be a difference in values as to what constitutes stirring shit. Zootopia is the official site of the band and they do not permit trash talking about each other or the band. Some of the things considered funny and cool here are not over there, and I agree with them. I'd say they'd shut down the album bashing threads I see here but you know what? I have honestly never seen one there. I guess most of the people who do that are here

I HAVE had to find out who people REALLY are, due to abuse, and contact either their ISPs or their employers (in one extreme case where the ISP was the employer). Sorry to scare you - just dishin' out more reality.

Angel said:Here's a dumb question Elvis (and forgive me if someone already asked, but your thread is 18 pages long!) ... when I subscribe (which I fully intend to do) will my user name etc... change or will everything remain the same?
Thx for all your hard work!
oh! and how long do we have to subscribe??? I just charged the Best of today to Visa and my train ticket to Montreal. Oh! and the new David Gray... and holy crap, I am going to be forever in debt.. what's another $12! Somebody told me today that U2 and CD's were going to be the end of me.... how right he was
daisybean said:Are you still gonna also do the @interference email service?
Bonochick said:Elvis~
If we'd like to pay for a membership to "sponsor" another member, how would we go about that? Should we subscribe the same way and make a note of it? Or should we just hold off for now?
(Sorry if this was asked already...I read through things, but I didn't see it! ).
Kristie said:yo, so when does this premium membership start taking effect?
as in, how long until one can't read the forums without paying?
*curious*
U2SavesTheWorld said:Quick question...
When you say premium members will be allowed to post attachments is that in ADDITION to posting pics in a thread through another site (ie snapfish)?
RavenStar said:I think I like the idea of the subcription premium member thingy. I pesonally cant pay (I'm in high school) But I think it's the best idea for this place.
