VirginiaFLA Posted July 8, 2008 Posted July 8, 2008 Sorry if this has already been posted .. discussed or it's just plain not meant to be here. Hahah.I just wanted to know if anyone here has signed up to the Idiot Club. I was thinking of signing up but I wanted to know if it was worth it. I know someone has posted some of their videos on you tube (which were interesting but nothing special) but are there more?
Jack96 Posted July 8, 2008 Posted July 8, 2008 I think this has been discussed before so this'll probably be closed
VirginiaFLA Posted July 8, 2008 Author Posted July 8, 2008 Would you mind directing me to where it was discussed?
Fuzz Posted July 8, 2008 Posted July 8, 2008 Well, it's been a while since this was last discussed. Instead of just merging this into a thread thats 3 years old, we can lets this thread go on on it's own so that current members can discuss whether or not it's worth joining right now. In my opinion, no. It hasn't been updated in a long time. They have monthly contests where they often give away an autographed item, but I don't think that's reason enough to join. I'd say you're better off waiting till they update it, or the band gets active again so you can see any special stuff first.I pretty much only keep my account active just in case something does come up so I can post about it on GDA. But that hasn't happened in a really long time.
one8two Posted July 8, 2008 Posted July 8, 2008 i've never paid for it,yet from what i've heard, I doubt i will ever join.
Guest give me novacaine-jos Posted July 8, 2008 Posted July 8, 2008 I can't join 'cause i live in greece.... I want to join though
Milan. Posted July 8, 2008 Posted July 8, 2008 its not really worth joining.and i myself have heard some bad things about it.its up to you as a person though
VirginiaFLA Posted July 8, 2008 Author Posted July 8, 2008 I'd say you're better off waiting till they update it, or the band gets active again so you can see any special stuff first.Yeah that's a pretty good way to look at it. I wasn't sure if it would be updated at all. There isn't really to update lately is there? (Apart from FHT but that wouldn't be in the IC)
Hermione Posted July 8, 2008 Posted July 8, 2008 Does anyone know if it gives you any kind of advantage in getting tickets when Green Day go on tour? That's the only reason I'd ever want to join it.
anniewoo Posted July 8, 2008 Posted July 8, 2008 I had an account a couple of years ago and it was a waste of money.
sydneygirl Posted July 8, 2008 Posted July 8, 2008 I was a member for over 2 years but I found I always spent the time here on GDC because it is far superior to Idiot Club. I won't repeat what a friend reminds me I was when I was an Idiot Club member. I did not renew my membership last November, and I personally don't really think it is worth it. Maybe when Green Day release their new album I may rejoin, but I don't know. I honestly think GDC is a lot better. Truthfully.
netty Posted July 8, 2008 Posted July 8, 2008 at the moment, in all honesty, no. and thats me speaking as idiot club mod. as has been said, waiting until the revamp has taken place and the album is released. I certainly wouldnt advice joining simply to get for any advantage you might have getting tickets. there was a ticket lottery during the last tour but if I remember rightly only a few tickets were given out for each show and you had to be able to actually go to that specific show. as for the comment about not being able to join because of the country you live in, anybody can join just as long as you either have certain credit cards or can get your hands on an international money order. I just had a nosey to see if I could find specifics about the ticket lottery and couldnt find anything but did notice they have a complete list of tour dates going back to 1997. never saw that before.
Guest give me novacaine-jos Posted July 8, 2008 Posted July 8, 2008 ^^actually i'm 15 so i don't have credit card...
Vanessa Posted July 8, 2008 Posted July 8, 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.
cocopot Posted July 8, 2008 Posted July 8, 2008 I'm in the same pickle as many others. I joined because I was desperate to see what all the fuss was about. I've kept my membership, but really its a waste. At times when nothing new about the band is surfacing, I think the IC is slightly overrated. Saying that, they do have some neat stuff, but most is searchable on Youtube. I personally prefer the GDC
Laura33 Posted July 8, 2008 Posted July 8, 2008 Like everyone else has stated it isn't worth getting an account. I have kept renewing mine over the last few years and I honestly couldn't tell you why, probably just keeping my fingers crossed that something will change

Thanks for the info, I'd been wondering about that for a while Yeah, I'll definitely take your advice on this one. If it's just a competition thingy for tickets I won't bother. That's actually quite good to know that there isn't an advantage for members, means everyone gets an equal chance. I think if GDC didn't exist I'd probably join, but for now all my Green Day needs are already being met!
