Category: Let's talk
Okay, I have only been apart of this site for a few months now, and I am starting to notice some what of an issue. I don't want to step on anyones toes, but is it safe to inquire as to why these fan clubs are necesary? I understand the whole thing about making new friends, and finding a group of people who share the same interests, but really, you don't have to socially classify yourself to be accepted. You should explore different people with various personalities. Now, I would never persway anyone frome their little circle of friends, I'm just simply stating that you don't need a fan club to be friendly with one another. Anyone feel free to leave an opinion for or against this subject. Oh, if you happen to be a founder or a member of any fan club on this site, I don't want to hear any preaching about if I don't like it, then don't read it. Trust me, I read it once, and that was enough. one more thing, refrain from expressing that you don't care what I say about the matter, because that isn't true. You do care, or else you wouldn't be purposely drawing attension to yourselves. Thanks.
hey there,
I am a founding member of the fanclub thing, and I will express my opinion. I do care what you say, and yes you might have a point. I will just say this that my fan club was just created to be fun. I agree that it is important to explore new friends and stuff, and I don't think they're to be taken seriously.
Um, well, if you don't take them seriously then why do you have them around? You are more than entitled to have a fan club if you so desire. I'm just expressing that they make no sense to me.
I dare say this kind of topic has been previously posted by yours truely.

Well I'll give you both sides to my opinion. Fan clubs on different websites as I consider them webrings. They are only ment to enjoy and to have fun, not to show harm or discriminate anyone. Now for the other half: Fan clubs can be a waste, or a message board hog. But you know something? If I had a problem with them do you seriously think I'd be reading them or posting in them even starting them? Hell no. But I think though as I've been observing that those little rings that I've seen on here are just harmless. Now I'm not gonna get on your case as I'm not sure if you were the one who posted something about fan clubs 4 times and it not process fully but I've seen 3 or 4 topics that were either closed by the admin and or didn't go through properly where the post isn't readable.
Well, it is a good thing that you are not jumpping my case, because it wasn't me. I'll agree they are perfectly harmless to some degree. I saw where one person said that in order to join her fan club, you had to make a song about her or write why you wanted to be in it. That didn't set well with me.
I'm not taking either side, just asking, aren't people who set up fan clubs for themselves a little bit lonely? I won't object if a load of people who think they're Waynderful Wangels set up The Waynderful Wangels waynderful wangels, but can't guarantee autographs for anybody who may become a member or founding member of such an organisation.
Have to agree with the Lady. I always thought that fan club craze was, well, silly, "I'll join yours if you join mine" etc. But, then again, it's fine, if that's what people want to do on a message board I suppose it's ok. I'm friends with people who have posted this type of stuff and I think it was just a fashion phenominon for a while, it got kind of stupid when everyone had their fan clubs etc but it seems to have died down in any case.

Yeah. Fan clubs are just for fun. We don't mean for them to start cliques. It's just a fun sort of thing, and anyone is welcome to join any club, as far as I'm concerned, correct me if I'm wrong, founders. But all the clubs I've seen are founded by people who would pretty much welcome anyone. And anyone is welcome to start one. But LD, you do have a point, heh. I can see hwo they'd get annoying. Just skip over them if ya don't wanna read. Hope this helps!
