It'd be really funny if they were still selling the gift memberships! nuts

BTW, www.npgmusicclub.com now just comes up blank, a few hours ago it still gave you the front page. So unless you know the direct link, no way to access Retail! neutral

So much for the lifetime memeberships!


To be a successful artist in our world you need to keep re-inventing yourself - that is all that is happening - nobody here knows if our memberships will not be carried over to the new site (of course there will be one) so be patient. Compared to most other artists Prince has a good record of putting his fans first. Be positive.



Excuse me!

Who r u tryin 2 kid? Putting his fans 1st? Positive?
Is that what u call all this?

If it was a spur of the moment decision, its mildly understandable...
If it's some kinda plan..part of some re-invention, it certainly falls short of my xpectation anyhow, 4 what it's worth confused

...they KNEW they were pulling the plug LONG ago...


How do you know this? And if it's true, why were they still making updates and adding things to the site (notabley: ahdio show, demo, download store beta) until just the other day? confuse

first my dear candace -
i know it b/c LOTS of people know it. i was told by a friend high up in the industry that Prince is going into another one of his INFAMOUS wiggy phazes... no tour to support the 3121 album, no marketing, nada, blowin off the folx at GMA like he is a playah!
another who is on P's payrolls told me that the site was going down 3 months ago.
How long have u been trackin P?? don't you recognize the cycles??

2nd - when are ppl gonna figure out that NOTHING in biznez just happens, even with Prince.
GMA was planned with ABC months ago, the new stuff on the site was just test-marketing ideas and technology - ya know - guinea pigs!!! lol

lots of people over there thought that Prince LOVES THEM. well he might - but that AIN't what that site was about!! it was about SALES & MARKETING AND proselytizing (which is just selling your religion anyway) wink

3rd - why do you think the PPs urged people to go vote for the NPGMC site on teh WEBBY awards RIGHT B4 THEY WERE PULLING THE PLUG. You don't think THAT was a coordinated effort to get the sheep to push Prince's agenda???

WAKE UP!!!!
We are the New Power Generation, we want to change the world... The only thing that's in our way is you. .

That's because it's really all my fault. He's never liked me and he never will.

For years he tried to lure me to the site. When I FINALLY took the bait and handed over my hard earned bucks...he shuts down the whole damn house.

I dig that. They do keep names of the old members. Maybe they will just be able to tap into what ever is next with their old username and password?

I hope so. I'm pretty poor and coughing up 25 (measly to most) bucks was a real sacrifice for me sad

via NPGMC's U TELL US forum:

Greetings Family,

The NPG Music Club has been in xistence 4 more than 5 years. In that time we've learned a great deal from each other and about this brave new online world we have all chosen 2 b part of. The members we have been 4tunate enough 2 have join r family have truly made this the best music club any artist could ever dream of. And all the things we have been a part of 2gether -- the concerts, the celebrations, the soundchecks, the discussions and the un4gettable music -- have shown us what a New Power Generation can truly b. We thank u from r hearts 4 sharing urselves and ur love of the music with all of us. It has been a blessing.

Once the NPG Music Club won the 2006 Webby Award, discussions within the NPG began 2 center on what was next. What’s the next step in this ever-changing xperiment? The achievements of the past cannot be questioned and we are truly grateful 4 everything that has been accomplished. But in its current 4m there is a feeling that the NPGMC gone as far as it can go. In a world without limitations and infinite possibilities, has the time come 2 once again make a leap of faith and begin anew? These r ?s we in the NPG need 2 answer. In doing so, we have decided 2 put the club on hiatus until further notice.

The NPG Music Club was a first step; the lessons learned will last 4ever. Now comes a time of great reflection and restructuring. The future holds nothing but endless opportunity and we plan on seizing it wholeheartedly. Don’t u want 2 come?

Love4oneanother,
NPG Music Club 4ever


WTF???? Nooooo!!! bawl fit
RIP, mom. I will forever miss and love you.

Hum, pretty bad to close whilst preparing a new website: it takes months to develop a good website. The old one should have been kept open, with no subscription possible. That would have created a rumour which would have been gold for the launch of the future website... Crap management!

This to me says it all. You know how Prince likes to play word games and such, and give clues as to what he might be doing next. www.3121.com is still open though still only advertising the album. But I'd be keeping an eye on the site for future changes.

I think we should all go to Prince's house, stand outside and sing "Damn U" to him for closing his club. pissed I can't believe he did this with no email, no warning, no nothing. I know it's his club and he has the right to do whatever he wants with it, but DAMN! disbelief

Some of you all have not been around long enough to know that the NPGMC is always "closed down" before it changes into a new look with different features etc. The name has changed from 1-800-NEW-FUNK to Love4OneAnother to the NPGMC.

So I don't know what the club will be called in the future or how it's going to look when it's finished, but it's highly unlikely that Prince will move away from having an on-line presence.

As far as the NPGMC itself is concerned, I tend to agree with their thinking for going on hiatus. In all honesty it probably really is time for them to rethink the purpose and usefullness of the club. For instance, I like the idea of being able to download new music, but there is something about downloading music that cheapens it's value. Being from the old school, there's still something special about an official release of an actual hard copy cd with artwork and lyrics etc that makes the music more valuable.


the next club will look like a combination of
this:


and THIS


Change the cross to a stauros pole, then get rid of the stauros pole because idols and icons are evil and you've summed up NPGMC in two pics yeah.
