we suck!

Honestly not trying to make something out of potentially nothing, but along with that news, it is a bit concerning to me that judging by expired dates in the discounted merch. department, as well as two months since the (appearance) of any sort of updates, including on the blog and tour dates (again this could just be thinking too deep). And I was also looking in the standard merchandise department at things, and there doesn't appear to be a whole lot left there...

 Like I said, I may be looking too deep into this, just a bit concerning...

It's all in your head Zak!

Staind are immortal... duh!  =]

But in all seriousness, it is clear that they are setting the stage for their final years as a collective unit. I believe they have one or two more albums still before they call it a collective career. I'm not sure why the fanclub would close other than their inability to have an associate maintain and moderate the site. It could have become too cost prohibitive for them to run the site - as in they were spending more to maintain and update the site than they were collecting from membership fees. From what I recall, there weren't really a great deal of fans in the fanclub anymore.

Just a few ideas to possibly ease your concerns. I don't blame you for being a bit nervous though.

Would Lisa have any insight?

Most likely. I reached out to her on her Facebook page, so I hope she'll chime in.

My insight about the fan club is "IT SUCKED"...Besides VIP tickets it was a waste of internet space. No one posted on the board, no up dates were made on there that we didn't already know about. As you can see they have offered VIP tickets to Aaron's solo shows when you buy them on ticketmaster. They should have given a warning and refunded those that still had active memberships. IMO There was no warning or anything but Staind's management is known for that, we should be used to it by now. I swear I cried when the old board went down, there was no warning. Those Bastards! With Staind taking a break right now why keep a fan club? With Twiiter and facebook and other social networks a fan club is kinda stupid when there are others ways to reach out to fans. I don't think it means the end of Staind or anything like that, it was just a waste to keep it. Remember all the issues with the fan club? We should be greatful it's gone. haha! 

Thanks for remebering me =) I miss this board! I haven't even been online much besides on my phone after Sandy wiped me out...Now that I'm here I will see what's going on and what I've missed. lol
