    Agreed, when I saw that I thought similar. No matter how nice it is, it's a folded up laminated piece of paper with it's own paper house to go in.

    I'm not sure anyone wants 70k+ members posting daily but with a site that has 70k registered users you would certainly hope and expect more than 17 active users. It isn't a U2Start exclusive problem though. I follow celebrities on Instagram with 200m followers and they only receive 1m likes on their posts.

    Members who have averaged 2 posts per day over last 60 days. If we stretch to 3 posts per day average, it’s 6 members. Only LikeASong averages 4+ posts per day over that period.
    That's interesting. Before I saw this list I thought of my own list and got around 10 of these names.


    I wonder who's going to win the "Most likely to get banned" award.
  3. Yeah... exactly how I meant it... and how their mind works... $$$ mine the JT as much as they can...

  4. No chance, a 35th anniversary release? I don’t think so. Maybe again for the 40th and 50th if they really do want to milk it but 35th would be a bit of a weird one. I’m sure pop will get it’s release.

    Or maybe there will be a new birth in 2022? Did they ever combine a new album with a re-release?

    You can easily get rid of the creases by using an iron ,I've done it loads of times,plenty of videos on YouTube on how to do it without damaging the paper.
  7. Not combine them as such but they did release the JT 30th set on the same year as SOE being released. I could see them just releasing a new album and pop anniversary on the same year. I don’t think Pop will get a super deluxe boxset I think it would be more along the lines of the boy, October, war re releases a 2 disc set or possibly at a push something like TJT20th anniversary and TUF box releases with 3 discs (2cd’s, 1 dvd). As always it would be guesswork as to the details but I really can’t see the 25th anniversary of pop going by without some sort of anniversary release.
  8. The most we’ll get is a 4LP reissue with the album and a handful of the remixes / Best Of mixes.

    “Super Deluxe” box would likely include PopMart Mexico on vinyl and some of the fruitlegs. Maybe a condom.

    It would be awesome if these box sets came with replica tour programs
  9. 2022 is for Pop's 25th anniversary, nothing else matters in the U2 universe that year

    For me even 2 boxset reissues of the same album in 10 years are weird enough... so who knows...
  11. For how excited Edge seemed to be to talk about the album with Woody, I think we’ll see something.
