nope.

I figured they'd eventually add stuff to it from time to time.

The site is still not user friendly. Just the process of setting up an account is cumbersome and requires playing a little guessing game to get in. Prince, this is a fansite--not Myst!


Prince needs to set up a retail model that allows for any person to purchase from his website.


If I recall NPGMC used to do that. Fans got charged a cheaper price for items, and non-members paid the regular retail price.

But either way, it was a bit more transparent, and the website was set up slightly closer to a proper music retail site.



lotsuflow3r is a disaster in user friendlyness. The name 'lotusflow3r' alone isn't exactly something many kids are going to 'google' when looking for new music.


Prince should buy prince.com, prince.biz, or prince.net and try and setup a propper retail site.

Hell, lotusflower isn't even a great official fansite since there is no forum, chat, or anything else on it that allows for information to be shared among enthusiast.



He can change my mind by two ways:

1) placing a retail page on his website that doesn't require a login.

2) or releasing vault material to be bought


Ultimately, it's one of his worst websites, nowhere near as nice as NPMGC (which itself wasn't all that).

I am a member of lotus, but I wouldn't tick any of those options.

They're good for nothing but they still bring a smile to your face when you push them down the stairs.
