KetchupNotMayo Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 (edited) I've been looking at the two packages lately and weighing up the pros of getting one of em.Of course the forum and the Nightrain club as a whole would be awesome to be a part of, but I would like to know a few things before I could seriously consider paying for a subscription..- How busy is the forum? Is there constant activity, daily activity, how often to the bandmembers pay a visit etc?- What's the vibe like? Is there actual discussion and debate from different viewpoints, or is it all just one big train of how awesome and fluffy everything is in the GN'R universe with no, even constructive, criticism whatsoever?- Roughly how many people post on the forum on a regular basis?- What different sections are there to the forum?- The 'contests' section of the club; have their been any thus far, and if so what has been won and what kind of questions and stuff have been asked?Thanks if anyone could help, I think it'd be really cool if GN'R offered a trial period or something just to let people see what they'd be paying for, as it's kinda hard to justify the money for something when I don't even know what it looks like, let alone how much I can expect to get from the forum etc. Edited May 27, 2012 by KetchupNotMayo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Broskirose Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 It sucks.Also they did give people a trial if they purchased the Chicago stream. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThinkAboutYou Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 Small improvements but very little conversation and not the expected exclusives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conor Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 It sucks.Also they did give people a trial if they purchased the Chicago stream.This.I got the impression everyone on it assumed every post would be read by Axl and it's just a terrible "forum", if you can even call it that. Shame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axl Rose aka God Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 Nobody wants to pay to use a forum, that's the problem. Especially when it doesn't really have any perks...if Axl posted on it I'd probably consider going there... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saber_ Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 BBA's too cheap to buy a membership and cupcake it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crash Diet Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 So the offical forum sucks?Pay for a forum? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naupis Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 it's disappointing to say the leastNo, it is what anyone with half a brain thought it would be. Anyone who has been around these boards for more than a few years knew it would be half assed and a quick money grab for the band. Only the blind or naive should be disappointed because we all knew this is what it would be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

F*ck Fear Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 I like being able to post on a forum where there are no cupcakes interrupting conversation. But, I paid for the merchandise, which I'll be satisfied with once my Nightrain shirt arrives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
