1. Miami66 - If you are reading. You say that I am a traitor. I still love @U2, I honestly think it's a great website because of all of the news articles, either written by you guys or from a newspaper or magazine around the world. I was just shocked that you and a few others wrote those things about what people said here on U2Start. Just because we don't want to sign your petition, it doesn't mean that you all can act like that about it.

    This is no U2Start vs @U2 fight. They are both wonderful websites for different reasons.

    well it was a joke but since you like giving updates from atu2 you probably already know that.

    I couldn't say better.
  4. There's no way it will reach 50,000

    If I were you, I'd read that article before I advertised it... it doesn't really cast a positive light on that petition...

    (btw. how come, this topic is called "boycott" petition when that's not even what you're aiming at?)



    Can you not read?

  6. U2.com Subscribers Information - March 2011
    03/03/2011 12:38:00
    We see that some fans are unhappy with the service at U2.com, we take the point.

    Some issues raised hit hard, particularly about 'Duals' because a lot of work went into it. And it's fair to say that if you've been following the band continually since the very early days, you might have collected these tracks, but for everyone else, there's some great music here and we're glad to hear you're looking forward to receiving the CD.

    Also, we'd like to clarify that subscribers are always first in line for tickets and our allocation is reserved to ensure we get the widest choice in a venue. We are sometimes beaten to the draw with news stories - that's because we have no choice but to only run confirmed information. We are the official word.

    If we get a tour date or set list track wrong or mislabel a lithograph - genuine mistakes - we'll check and correct it.

    But it's not satisfactory that U2 fans feel aggrieved. So we're going to investigate all of your concerns, including customer service.

    We are always looking to improve the U2.com experience and the service we offer to subscribers as our recent live webcast from Cape Town shows. Thanks for your great response to that and thanks for raising these issues.

    The U2.com Team


  7. If you want them to have a decent website, hoping that they'll read it or something (edit: they have), then why call it a boycott petition.


  8. And that sort of aggressive attitude will make everyone want to associate themselves with you. Because that's the way the world works.

    Oh... wait...
