Not to be negative but I couldn't stand those people and another one Jkaine. UGH!!! They will surely NOT be missed.



Banned? What did they do?

They were live and kicking until the site closed a little after midnight.
RD got banned a lot...lol! But he always bounced back. He loved the NPG.
So...how's everybody doing? smile

No. The website is going to be back up and running when Tamar's album drops in late August. To me this is a good time to take a break, so he can lock down in rehearsals and revamp the website.


It wasn't like he was running the site himself.

I just think that a bit of forewarning would have been the decent thing to do.

I just hope the next phase will be better. Every artist has an "official site", right?

Beautiful thought.

Folks meant RD and the C are banned from the org, not that they were banned from NPGMC.

nod I was just going to say, I don't think NPGMC is, err was, eating up a lot of Prince's time! That's what Sam and the PP's (the latter were unpaid, I always heard) were for. wink

my guess is the new site will open to the announcement of the 3121 tour.....open with a bang!!

so in the meantime, they can iron out the details and not hear whining and complaining constantly over there (and i was one who kept asking about a tour wink .....thats my guess anyways, but we'll see

Awesome, thanks. And if anyone is still wanting merchandise, here is the Musictoday link. http://stores.musictoday....555&sfid=1
Not sure if we can still get a "member" discount but it seems to have everything we had access to before last night's shut down.

Without naming names....a good friend of mine talked to someone on the very inside of the website a couple of months back and he was told that while there were plenty of members they were having a real hard time turning them into "customers". Apparantly the club was bleeding money. I had a feeling something like this would happen although it wasn't even hinted at to my friend.

what the hell!!! now how am i suppose to get my front row tickets??? mad mad mad mad mad mad mad

this has got to be a hoax of some kind...how can Prince not have an official website for his fans??? He ought to know that some curse outs are coming to him from his fans for this.....unless he starts up another site or something....
I will forever love and miss you...my sweet Prince.

the members should have been given more things to buy that they would actually want or could actually use. i did my part - i bought one of the 3121 mugs - but where could i wear one of those 3121 shirts??? great design, but not especially the most stylish fashions in the world. the prices weren't at all competitive either. there's a merch goldmine to be had with prince, it just hasn't been fully realized.

Well lately they seemed to be really rude and downplay people. Especially if you are new and post something and not apart of their 30,000 and above post club.

Just wondering if they're gonna make themselves known here.

I only bought one item from the store since I joined. They need to rethink the store and offer some more interesting downloads. That audio thing for $7.77 was dissappointing to me. Somehow I believe the membership price is going to go up. SO START SAVING YOUR MONEY FOLKS! Don't say you were not warned!

Customers?
In that case, I'm guilty.
I don't buy the paraphernalia. I'm too old for posters and tambourines. I just buy music.
So...how's everybody doing? smile

Prince is sitting on mountains of material that he could be releasing through the club.

He could be selling DVD compilations of all his videos, including the old obscure ones, complete concerts from the 80's to present, those things would sell big time.

Make his entire catalog of albums available online for sale, even the ones that have gone out of print, and throw in a few rare extras so people buy it from his site and not itunes or some place like that.
