Thanks for all the information- I agree with everything you've just said!
I did read the policy when I was in the forum, which I have to say makes perfect sence. I totally respect it, and have no problem with it at all. I have to say though, from times that I've been in there I read posts of serious "REAL" fans (I'm assuming because they're part of the army) "Oh, Jared's mine. I love Solon" Some people seem to have developed nick names for them, etc. That goes on quite a bit there, does it not? With the regulars? Its just kind of funny to me that everyone seems to jump down people's throats if they post something about Jared (which again, I can understand. The board is to discuss the band, not what kind of underwear Jared wears), yet they kind of do it themselves.
Anyways, I don't mean to knock the web site either, its just that I guess I find it a little frustrating that because I happen to enjoy MSCL and recognize Jared Leto from acting, not just for this amazing band he's in, that I am less of a fan. I may add that the board is very together in their support to the band. They are a large part of the bands sucsess because of their undying support, and advertising. I love that! So, I think I'll do what you say, and lurk around the other sections.
just to add quickly, I REALLY agree with what you stated about the fighting/competition between fans. It is really so divided at times, and at others it seems like everyone finally is ignoring their "fan status" and is just enjoying the band together.
I myself heard that Jared Leto had a band a looong time ago, but not finding any releases from them yet I let it go, until the cd finally came out (this summer?), and I read a poster that 30 seconds to mars were coming here to my city! I hadn't purchased the cd yet, and thinking seeing them live would be the perfect way to rate the band (I didn't want to buy a cd that I was never going to listen to!), who turned out to be mind blowing. I bought their cd that night, and having stopped listening to it since! I can't explain how much I adore the cd.... it's sounds like nothing else, the lyrics, the bands togetherness, uniqueness, and the lead vocals are beautiful and passionate. I wish I could have been in on it sooner! What about you????
