I can't say it any better than that....
Could I be one of the bloggers? I always seem to be the one predicting about the new album and getting bits and pieces right. Then again thats just luck though.

I agree with you...You certainly should be one of the. But as Remy said: This is something for the future, not for now...

I'd be more than happy to maintain a user blog. We could well do something like a Facebook group, but then this would detract from the actual static pages.
It is some great custom software!

apart from the content the software is what seals the deal here. Every other U2 site is practically a V Bulletin layout

The only problems with vBulletin is that maintaining a database is much harder (everything is totally separate as opposed to other softwares) and security. Every site has potential security risks but vBulletin is notoriously bad for security holes, bugs and god knows what else. And it's slow at everything - installing plug-ins etc. No way I'd install that crap on any of my systems.
VB only needs one thing: a gunshot to the head. It is that bad. If you know how to keep it updated, maintained etc then it's probably fine. Remy made a great decision to custom-write and it makes his job a lot easier, because he knows the software. When I write software and design apps, I'm much better at keeping it working because I have all the code and other resources.
No way with vBulletin could you ever maintain such a clean and good-looking bootleg section or even the photo pages. My original website, which I actually forgot all about until news about the new recording sessions, used Joomla which is like this but yet more complicated again.

vBulletin isn't that bad, the 3.x versions actually do work quite great, I use it for the forums of the school, works great with attachments and such.
Disadvantage of standard forums are features that take a lot of space and power that you never will use. The U2start forums only have functions that we actually use, which makes it better than others.
I am actually gonna use this forum software for the first time outside U2start in the near future, I am currently converting two old forums to use this software. In total with 15.000 users, 65.000 topics and 1.000.000 posts. I'm curious if it works as good then as it works here
