dMb Family on Facebook

I’m really amazed there hasn’t been a thread about this on here yet, and I searched multiple times to make sure I wasn’t creating a duplicate, but I recently was approved to be part of their group from months and months ago and let me say they are a creepy bunch. Right now there’s a bunch of people especially in the Indianapolis area that take pictures of all cars they see with a DMB sticker or DMB license plate and post multiple pictures of said car and the locations where they were seen. Then usually they combine it with asking, “Are you in the DMB family??” I mean it’s like high school harry shit over there. Just so much different and not in a good way, compared to the group we have here.

But that’s all, just wanted to share & vent my frustrations.

    There's been lots and lots threads on this. They usually get locked pretty quickly.

    No reason to be frustrated by something that you have to chose to be a part of. Just leave the group.

    But yes, it's a strange group of fans.

    The different pockets of this fanbase are certainly interesting. Glad I found Ants back when

    how did the family group of fans start? I don't really remember it back in '06 when I first became a fan, it seems to be only recently. are there any long-time fans that consider themselves a part of that group?

    It seems like it's mostly the newer fanbase, people that got into the band with BWGGK and later.

    There's some older fans in there, but it seems like mostly newer fans that found the band because of "You and Me".

    They're most likely the reason Angel was on the recent WH disc, so if that's not enough reason to hate them, I don't know what is.

    because the thread is going to turn into bashing dmb family (as it should, that place sucks).

    There has to be some actual non-ironic DMB Family members here on Ants. Perhaps they could explain the groups behavior?

    They help me internally rationalize my fanhood.

    Sure, I listen to a shitload of DMB and spend small fortunes on the band and have opinions I like to share with fellow fans and keep up on news about the band, but at least I'm not online stalking cars with stickers or vanity plates.

    I'm 'normal'.

    Anyone who proudly hits me with "I'm in the DMB family!" does me the favor of letting me know we probably aren't going to have fun at a show together.

    ugh... I was somehow added to that "41 Club" group a few weeks ago. I promptly removed myself from there after my news feed was spammed with crap like that.

    "Look what channel was playing on the TV in my office breakroom!!! Channel 41 OMG OMG"

    I dont think so, they might have co-opted it later but they sure didnt start it. IIRC the Love sign was started by a guy named Matt who just liked the message of Love and would hold a sign up at shows, which was very topical during the outro to Granny if it was played. A group of his friends started to spread the signs around when he died (2009 maybe?). I never met him, but I met a couple of friends of his at the Gorge in 2010, they told me about him and his life and I was honored to get one of their Love signs and hold it up for him that year. They seemed like nice good normal people, and I dont think they would have looked twice if a tray at a lunch buffet had 27 pieces of Cornbread on it. I could be wrong though.

    Board wars don't work out well for anyone. There have been incidents. Believe me.

    So let's just not.
