If they don't change ANYTHING they're going to have a lot of problems. (for one, no one overseas will be able to register since that would require the form to be changed)

And they will need to have at least one person to provide support. Because if I pay $50 and my account is broken I won't be happy. Websites aren't flawless so there will always be technical issues. And I don't think someone would be happy if they got billed multiple times on accident or they payed and never received their registration information.
They'll have to pay someone do deal with all these issues, because they probably will happen. No site is flawless.

Also, don't they have a message board? If so there has to be someone on webstaff that speaks English to make sure rules are followed. If the web admin doesn't speak English then there is no way for him to know I'm spreading nasty rumors about HYDE. Or that I'm harassing another member. [Of course, I'm sure someone would report me, but they'd still have to get someone to translate my posts to confirm I was breaking rules].

It would be nice if they would open it up though so we could join directly rather than through a third party like Celga. I think they will in the future, it will just take time.

They are becoming more open to overseas fans (myspace, tour) so at least we're on their radar. If we can prove that there are enough of us that are willing and able to pay then they may open the doors for us.

^In other words, we need to get this tour to sell out. ;) I believe New York has sold out, but I'm not quite sure. However, these west coast shows aren't selling well, so yeah... I suppose this tour is very important in more ways than I would've imagined.
