Does anyone else not bother checking Lotusflow3r anymore?

I just come here instead.

Its just too frustrating taking the 10 mins to log in and then aimlessly flying about the universe desperately hoping that there is something new to click on.

I haven't visited the old wasteland for over 2 weeks now.

It doesn't even take me 10 minutes to get in (more like 3 or 4 last time I tried it), but that sodding intro - which was nice to see once or twice - really has to go.

They need a 'Skip Intro' button, but seeing as the intro represents about half the content of the site, we're probably stuck with it.

They better hurry their stupid cheating lying lazy arses up and get more content on there soon, because the day is fast approaching when they'll put content up and nobody will know, because nobody cares enough any more to log on and discover it.

i visited it, probably 3 weeks ago. but that was only to see if
i remembered my password and username.

this forum will let me know when there is a reason to log into
the site again. right now, there is no reason at all.

That's what I rely on too. But what if nobody bothers to log in because we're all waiting to see updates reported here?

after i initially downloaded all the albums and took a first look at the videoglobe, i haven't had a reason to go back. it's frustrating, but i guess that's what we paid our 77 bucks for. shrug

i dont really post much but the time has come to post again! i havnt even bothered loggin in to the website for a few weeks now. to start with i thought, ok just wait and things will start to happen but has it? has it balls!!! nothing for weeks. and anyone who starts saying be patient it will happen, well goody for you. i am not happy about shelving out my cash to get what we have had. it is starting to piss me off. the main reason i joined was for the chance to get great seats at concerts and the UK members will probably have to join again next year before we get any live dates over here. i hope i am wrong but i think its time to start complaining!!!
So come vibe with us.....Funk Bible...New Testament!

I would agree in general terms but this website was DOA. A waste of time and money.

Lotusflow3r.com has convinced me that after 20+ years of fandom and countless $£,
that Prince is in fact a greedy dick. I feel bad about that.

i don't really check it much anymore either, knowing i would see an update here. but i fear two things:

1. no one on the org looks, therefore no one will see an update
2. based on traffic/hits, prince's camp will no longer put up new stuff because no one is going to the site anymore.

How'd you figure that?

I'm just asking if anyone else bothers checking the lifeless website anymore...

An enemy? I think not.

1 - Trust me there are peeps on here who do a daily drive by at the site if not two. Just to be the first to post here if not for anything else.

2 - Well that's stupid. (Not you). One rule of thumb...if you want hits and traffic on your site, you need to always update content. You don't get one without doing the other. If this is their way of thinking, then they should just take down the site.

Prince did an interview with a woman at Record World. They talked about whatever, then he asked her: "Does your pubic hair go up to your navel?" At that moment, we thought maybe we shouldn't encourage him to do interviews.

Do you not think nothing new for two months on a subscription based account is a testing of ones patience?

You can call it what u want. All I was trying to say basically to spell it out for you is there are 12 months in a year. Much more is to come. You already paid your "subscription" so why get bothered over it. Let's wait and see. After month 12 i can see you moaning and bitching, but hey whatever floats ur boat is cool with me. Peace.

That could be the backlash from all of this. But most of us that joined probably have a good bootleg catalog of P already. Maybe this is his way of getting us back since he knew only the diehard would pony up for this show. I'm feeling like I paid for the first date and now I'm just waiting by the phone for her the call me back...I'm starting to think she aint' gonna call ya'll!

I only check here. Based on his prior history with this sort of thing, I didn't expect a whole lot from the web site, but thus far somehow he's managed to fall short of even those low expectations. How long has it been since anything at all has been added to the site?

Okay, so I e-mailed Lotusflow3r support. I basically asked what the hell was up, why the site is never updated, when some announcements will be made, IF there are any announcements to be made at all, etc. The next day (today) I recieved THIS e-mail:

Hi Shelbey,

I'm not allowed to give any details about future content or tours, but I can tell you that new videos are going to be added to the site very soon!

Lotusflow3r Support



So... that's all I know right now. I've got to say, the support team has always been quick with e-mail responses. At least that's something.
I could read you poetry and then we could make a story of our own.

Where did I bitch and moan? I'm simply asking if others, like me, bother to log onto the site anymore or just check here. Perhaps you should read peoples posts fully before getting all high and mighty.

How long has the site been online? How often have there been updates? People aren't bitching about no daily updates, or weekly updates but about the lack of MONTHLY updates.

And the ONE thing they add is a 15 year old frikking video WHICH HAS BEEN OFFICIALLY AVAILABLE ON VHS.

Yeah, there are 12 months in a year. How many of them have been wasted?

Where are the Leno performances? The Ellen performance? (Both of which were in HD video on usenet mere days later -- but Prince can't be arsed to put them online.) Live recordings from the three LA shows? (One of the shows is already circulating, and the full she-bang has also been announced -- once again a case of bootleggers beating Prince at his own game.)

Then again, looking at how little promo Prince has been doing, it's crystal clear LotusFlow3r is dead & buried. Yet another utter failure to add to a long list.
