doh!

I vaguely remember this place. I can't believe I joined. I just can't believe I did it.

I resisted until Tamar featuring Prince shows were touring and I thought they would come to my area and I was insistent that I would not get nosebleed seats again. So I broke down and joined.

I never went to the forums because I knew my azz would get banned. I cuss and I refuse to drink the purple koolaid.

I just wanted the tickets.

Alas, the tour was abandoned and the site shut down only 30 days after I bought my "lifetime membership"

I think this was the only club of his I joined. Didn't get much out of it. The site was too flash heavy for my taste.

I remember all those negatives and positives.

People in chat would get around swearing by typing sh it, fu ck, and various other ways lol

And you had to censor what you would say in there or you could be in trouble.

I remember someone started a thread about the org and the PP's took it down **poof** lol

I liked the Reflection room and checking out the track in the Glam Slam room. I also liked check out the NPGMC store cool bought a few things.

Loved downloading the music tracks which was 0.77 cents for members.

Ohh purple joy oh purple bliss oh purple rapture!

hug You know I agree with you on that. I miss the chat room more than anything, though. I had A LOT of fun in that chat room and have never found another one that came anywhere NEAR giving me the same amount of happiness. Chatted with the same people in there for years. Shared music, holidays, life events big and small, and a lot of plain old nonsense. Ahh, good times, good times. lol

Man, I thought it was great and hated to see it go.

There was so much to view, do and listen to.

With all good comes some bad.

Yet I still think it was more user friendly that 3121 or lotusflower.

I miss it still.sad
