i no what you mean. i was gonna start a thread about this the other day. i started liking them after year 3000 so i havent been a fan for a real long time but i hate when people who didnt start liking them until sos are saying that they're their biggest fans and that they know everything about them and stuff. for some people its not that bad since the jonas brothers weren't really on tv or the radio too much before that but other people who just look at them and go they're hot i love them its just kinda stupid cuz they dont even no anything about them at all. this girl i met who said she was obsessed with them didn't even know they had 3 albums. im happy for all of their success but sometimes i wish they didn't have so many fans. fake fans i mean. the fakers make it harder for the real fans to get tickets to concerts and stuff and its so annoying the way they say they're number one fans all the time. i think im repeating myself but im not sure, im kind of really getting into this right now so if i say something ten times in a row just ignore it. it especially gets on my nerves how some people only like them cuz they're hot. its completly true but they dont even listen to their music and that is not a true fan at all. if you are a true fan you should like them for more than their looks. one more thing that i think is annoying though is how some people if they are a new or a fake fan and they see a picture of one of them from like 2006 they'll be like who is that? then when they find out they'll be like o well i totally knew that or whoops i forgot. if your so obsessed with them then how do you forget what they look like????  grrrrrrrr....... that gets me angry. well thats pretty much all i have to say now i think.

but i like the idea of a club like that. if you make one let me know.

haha that's awesome!

Well, should we get a club started then?

I totally see where you are coming from here. I haven't really been a dedicated fan since the early days, but I knew about them. I first heard "Year 3000" on Radio disney probably late 2006/early 2007, and I thought, hey these guys are good. I told my dad about them and he loved them, along with my little sister. So they went out and bought "It's About Time". I listened to a few songs, but that was it. They constantly told me how amazing they were, so they were super pschyed when they found out the boys would be performing at Six Flags parks (we used to have connections). That was when "Hold On" started getting popular, and I liked it. So we saw them on 7/05 (we would have seen them in august too, but my parents were on vacation-and i was a huge fan by then). But we sat way in the back, simply because we didn't feel the need to be up front. Oh, what a mistake that was. As the show went on I kept thinking, man, I want to be up there with all that energy!!! I loved the way they performed, they were so energetic and so into the show. So after the show I realized that these guys are really good. Over the next few weeks I did research, realized their CD would be coming out soon, found this site, and watched their hilarious videos. We bought their CD the day it came out, and then I started listening to It's About Time, loved it. And I loved Jonas Brothers, of course. I was so angry that we couldn't see them again, because we could've met them!!! I'm still mad that my parents went on vacation that week!! Ok, so I guess im fine now. But it was a big deal then. I joined this site September 14th: ) because I just wanted to talk to fellow fans.

So I guess I could say I've had OJD for 1 whole year. Yay!!! And I've known about them for atleast a year and a half, im not exactly sure...

And all these fake fans....it drives me nuts!! Like at the concert I went to, we had bad seats, but I was glad we weren't in lawn. And these girls in front and behind us were TEXTING AND TALKING THE ENTIRE TIME!!! I was like, come on, are you serious! They didn't know many words to the songs, and I was like, some true fans deserve those seats.

And I go to school the next day, and this girl is bragging about how she met them and had front row. She only liked them because of their looks.

All those fans who have supported them since the beginning deserve to meet them.

I am so happy for the boys, but I just wish I could go to more shows(ive been to 3), meet them, and just stuff like that. I want more fan gear, but I can't afford it! But I still support them and do what I can. I mean, I bought 3 copies of their new album, just so I could get 1 bonus thing on each one. That's what I will do for them. Some people who went to the concert didn't even own the album. Haha, on the way there we held up a sign that said "Did YOU buy the new Jonas Brothers album?" It was sooo much fun. The police officer smiled, and these 2 older guys gave us a thumbs up. It was so funny. Then the fans waved furiously, which we did back. And I wonder how many people went out and bought the album, just because they were curious. haha, that would be awesome.

Wow, this is becoming a long post.

But I just can't even describe how I feel about this whole situation. I guess I just wish that sometimes the fake fans would let the real ones have a chance. I would never say I didn't want the boys to become this successful, but I do hope that the craziness dies down and they get back to the people like us, who know they have 3 albums, who know about this website, who know how hard they've worked, and who know that we've done a part in supporting them. I want them to be able to thank the people who really made a difference in their careers.

I would never think of climbing on their roof, chasing their tourbus, or something crazy like that. I do freak out when I hear them on the radio, or see something with them on it, and I'm not afraid to show my Jonas pride. I'm a crazy fan- but I don't go over the top and put myself in danger.

Now, some newer fans are obsessed and true fans. I don't want to say that anyone new isn't a fan when they support the boys as much as we do. But you know, without you older fans, nobody now would know of them.

Yet I think I might cry when I meet them. Just because they've done so much for me, especially right now because I'm going through some things. And meeting them would be so surreal.

Either that or I would say nothing but smile and laugh. But yet when I met Demi and hung with her for a while, I was totally cool. Ok, so my smile didn't fade a bit, but I talked to her like a normal person. I didn't want to leave, because I wanted to just talk to her about random stuff! we were having so much fun talking and laughing. I've been a Demi fan for quite a while, so someday when she's huge and famous, I can say I met her and I've supported her from the start. I think I have Obsessive Demi Disorder- gosh, I love that girl.

So it's hard to say how I would react if I met the Jonas Brothers.

And I see them as Kevin, Joe, and Nick. 3 guys form New Jersey. I know they are total dorks. I laugh at them sometimes, just because of what they are wearing or how they are acting. Like I couldn't stop laughing at Nick in the Disney Channel games. He took everything so serious. And he pulled his sock up high. Haha, I found it amusing. Now don't think im trying to make fun of them. Oh, and Living the Dream the other night when KEvin and Nick argued over the stage layout. That was funny. I could so see them doing that. I can like imagine what they would do in a situation. You know those questions that are like, "Which brother is the most ___?" I usually have the same answer as they do.

I like them because of their personalities. Some people hate Kevin- that's impossible!! He is the sweetest guy! Now, I don't know that for sure since I've never met him. That's other thing I hate- when people think they know them when they've never met them. I guess I'm a hypocrite for saying that, but in my head I still know I can't say these things truthfully, because I haven't met them.

But I can say that I love them, cause there is no doubt I do.

And I guess I'm not really an early fan. My support has grown as they have.

But you know, we will have to deal. Someday all this fan craziness will die down. And the ones who were with them since the beginning will be with them then.

So I guess we'll have to wait until then.

And if you read this, you are probably crazy. Haha, just kidding: )

Meesa [Hold On] wrote But I really feel bad when people consider 'TRUE' fans the ones who have been around since the '05-'06 era. Is it really my- or anyone else's fault that we didn't know about them earlier? No. It's not. It took every single fan new-or old to get the JB to where they are today. Remember how in about Oct-Dec of last year JB's career went into high gear? Suddenly they were household names. And that was all because more people started becoming fans. Being an old fan doesn't make you better than the newer fans. Being around longer does not make you a 'true' fan.

I completely agree with you. I know for a fact I'm a new fan - I've only been 'into' them for a couple of months. I'd vaugely heard of them before the whole UK promo thing, but that was from a girl I was chatting to online about her friend, and how they had an argument over whether Nick. J or Luke Juby was better looking. But that completely irrelevant to what I'm going to say ;)

 Though I've only been a fan for a short time, I'd hate to think of myself as a 'fakey' fan. I love their music. I adore Kevin. I think all three albums are brilliant. I've done my fair share of research. I don't say first, when talking or describing them, OMG they're sooo hot. I definitely wouldn't cry if I met them (I would proabably babble a bit though). I couldn't help but cringe for the girl on the When You Look Me In The Eyes video, seeing her cry. I would never, ever, call myself their number 1 fan. And I don't believe I will hold avery long conversation with one of them, let alone date them, but I have to admit I do tend to daydream about doing so a lot . I've never seen them live, but that'll change come September 11th. And I do plan on sticking to being a fan for about... Oh, I don't know, forever? Lol.

My best friend is a bit funny when it comes to this. I have converted her to a fan, but I don't think she quite likes them so much. She's only listened to one of the albums (which I gave her), she won't buy the released one, and it isn't because of a money thing, and she hasn't even nothered to listen to IAT. It wouldn't surprise me if she didn't know the title of it, TBH. She drives me up the wall with her 'I love Joe' comments. We were having a conversation of 'should we meet them after the concert' the other day, when she bought up the subject of girlfriends. I metioned that Joe had dated a few blondes, and suddenly she wasn't bothered about meeting him anymore, simply because he wouldn't fancy her. And?! Was what I felt like screaming. Now, every time the subject is bought up (which is quite often) it's 'Do you think he'd like me?' Or whatever. I've told her I'd just be happy with a 'Hey' in my direction, but I think unless he asks for her number, she won't be satisfied. I can't stand it, personally, and I can see why you don't, either.

In conclusion, haha, I think you have a completely valid point.
