I Kinda thought this was coming
09.03.09 INXS.COM - A SINCERE MESSAGE TO OUR MEMBERS.
Dear INXS.com Members
We wish to inform you that INXS.com is being moved to another server, so we are taking this opportunity to revamp and redesign INXS.com.
The site in its current form will come to an end on the 20th March 2009, but will still be up with limited functionality.
For this reason, all Premium and Community members who joined from Sept. 19 2008, will automatically receive a full refund.
We're sorry for any inconvenience or frustration this may cause. We thank you for coming on the journey with us and we ask for your continued support when the new site is up and running.
Love to all and stay tuned
Sincerely,
INXS.com

Yeah, it's because they're moving to another server. Interesting timing....
Sad but it seems that they're losing more and more fans and I doubt you'll see the same numbers signing up for the new site.
I haven't been a fan since Michael died but I'm still upset. I feel like all of these missteps are affecting the legacy of the band, inclusive of Michael.

This is very sad....if they are only moving to a new server then why are they refunding members??

Hopefully their new site won't require paid membership. That would be nice to be able to have a look and lurk if in the mood.  |

My guess is that they are refunding money to their newest members because the site will effectually be closed for some length of time before the new one is introduced. So the new members wouldn't get any (or hardly any) benefit out of their paid membership in the meantime. There's some logic to drawing the line to September, I'm sure, I just don't know what it is. They might still ask a payment for membership but it'll be a new ballgame with the new website. Hopefully they offer enough content for non-paying fans too to make it worth their while to visit.

I renewed my membership in september 08, i guess because it was not that long ago they think they should refund us. Im not complaining as it was nearly $60 australian.
Also lets face the fact that ULTRASTAR who ran the site , as well as running other bands fansites havent been that great at keeping things up to date and I guess INXS havent been happy with the way its been run for awhile, who knows.
Im looking forward to whatever the future holds for the band and the site. Im a part of it no matter what, because of my love for Michael and my love for this band that I grew up with.
Im not 100% happy with how things happened over the past 3-4 weeks but i believe there is a reason behind it. And hopefully that reason will be made clear to us very soon.
Im an optismist and so Im hanging in there. Even though some people may say Im silly, there are some fans that will still be around. No matter.
Its a shame its all changed but hey life does , doesnt it?
Peace
Aussie
