Right now i still see it as teaser, to get people interested...at least that's the effect i feel it has on me...if Adam keeps offering new stuff in the Fan club i'll sign Up... To be brutally honest: i hope Adam doesnt Just build his Fan Club up, get people excited and then forget all about it...i know that's quite harsh and Not very PC to say but i didnt know how to word it any better, i Hope it still got my point across and people get, what i meant... We’ve been there before Twice I think... not sure the third time works for me :D I'm not sure i get what you mean....

I had to email Empire today. I ordered my signed album back in March and have yet to receive it although its been paid for. Hopefully I get good news on that front. I know Covid has something to do with the shipping delays so I hope it hasn't gotten lost in the mail. fingers crossed.

He did try to build up the fan club at least twice before ( first time with Leila’s participation in the club) and he did abandon it both times imo. So, I am not at all excited about it this time around

It's been five years, but apparently not long enough to know from first hand experince but i've heared romours like that so...i guess that's why i'm being a little hesitant now lol

Well, the signed photo from Adam is only open to members, and I entered that. 5 members will win. That should be worth the price of membership.

Let’s not forget that Gelly is the first source of Adam’s related information. She’s doing an amazing job. I don’t mind her posting exclusive content on sm. let’s be honest it’s nothing exclusive. Looks like more people want to make sure that their money was well spent on membership. Why should anyone spend anything on a membership if all of the membership perks are made easily available to non-members anyway? Pre-sale codes have always been freely shared. Now it seems content Adam intends to be members-only is being freely shared as well. I don't dispute Gelly works hard on behalf of the fandom, but that does not mean she has carte blanche to post anything she wants. I will also add that the fan club re-launch is very new, and even if the members-only content has not excited you (not that your own personal opinion on that is what should matter), that doesn't mean he isn't planning something in the future that might. Maybe the teaser he just posed is for a performance he intends for fan club members alone, for example. But knowing whatever he posts will be immediately spread to non-members has to be frustrating now that he's trying to rebuild the fan club. As long as fans continue to do that, there is no such thing as "exclusive," no matter how worthwhile, or not, it may be. Adam is not asking for a huge commitment of cash. I know times are tough for many people, but I'd assume for most of Adam's fans the $10 per year would not be a burden. If you want the exclusives, it would be nice to pay the price if you're able. I would like to see the fan club going back to using a specific member link instead of a code for presales. That would prevent sharing.

Any membership takes time to build numbers and triggers like exclusive content are an important tool. So no matter how well-intentioned the motives of people sharing exclusive content there's no getting around that it undermines the efforts to build a successful and profitable base. And without a solid base it will be hard for A to justify the time cost (and other costs) of providing more robust content and offers.

I know Covid has something to do with the shipping delays so I hope it hasn't gotten lost in the mail. fingers crossed. I see you're in Canada. I haven't heard anything about my album either -- not even an email. Let me know what Empire has to say, please.
