I swear, Prince is the most whiney, neurotic, self-absorbed, obsessive, spoiled rock star in music!

Seeds grow after their kind. lol

STFU, nobody cares!

^ yeahthat

You summed up the Prince fanbase perfectly.

They make these big sweeping statements about how Prince is a bad, bad man. How they're never buying his music again and never going to his shows again.

It's the same bullshit time after time.

This woe is me crap.

Pissed off because Prince's music isn't as good as it was in 1986.

They all feel like he owes them something personally because they're fans of his music.

Like he's supposed to do a concert in their fucking basement or something.

No, you've got it backwards, friend. The first Prince news I heard today is that he is doing a concert in Chicago to support a community-building organization. Then I hear his lawyers shut down one of my favorite fan websites. That sends me a mixed message. Does Prince want his fans to travel to the concert, or not?

As I said in other threads, I have a ticket on hold to fly to Chicago for Prince's first concert there. If he lifts the ban on thedigitalgarden.org by tomorrow night, I'm going to the concert. If he doesn't, I'm not going. Maybe he doesn't care about my opinion and doesn't want my money, but if so, why should I care about him and his concert?

I never said he was a "bad, bad man"...I just think he's an asshole. thumbs up!

I'm sure it is...but since you bring that up, I wonder who many have complained? hmmm

???? Uh......

I wasn't even a fan in '86...I was only 4.

I don't know.....haven't people been taken advantage of by Prince [essentially] for website memberships?

Nah, I wouldn't want that @ all. My apartment complex wouldn't allow that.

Word. I'm sick of it too.

I'd resign as a fan and spare to bitching that others have to hear which so they can enjoy the music. If negativity is all they can express then it's a waste of fucking time for them and a question mark for us.

You're sticking around the org because of the "cool" people here.... Right...


If I was here for the cool people, I would get their Facebooks and bounce the fuck out of here. I'm not here for the people, I'm here for PRINCE. If anything, I'm only cool with a good 15% of the active users here.

You're using these idle threats like they matter.

"I'll buy tickets to the show if he doesn't shut down a website".

Don't fucking patronize people.

Either you're going or you're not going.

He already shut down the website. I'll go to the concert if he lifts the ban. I'm trying to accomplish something positive here. Would you rather Prince keep shutting down fan websites? Because this one could be next.

Prince is a public figure. He has no more right to stop people from discussing his music on a website than Mitt Romney would have to stop Barack Obama from criticizing him or vice versa. If he wants to live a private life, he should stop announcing big arena concerts and move back into Andre's basement.

Uh oh Prince has some serious damage control when it comes to his fans (that's if he still wants any).

Agreed, Prince just isn't the same anymore, which I'm a little confused about. I mean, he doesn't have a website, shuts down other websites based on him, doesn't show his video's on utube, yet he still has concerts... well doesn't he need fans to come to those concerts and buy the expensive front row tickets?

Anyway, I'll always be a fan/admirer of his music.

pray Peace in the House of Prince.

Yeah. It's like every time I come in this portion of the site, it's either fans saying his newer songs are "the best thing ever" as if they were facts or people complaining of Prince "not doing much for them" like he's the only musician to do this. lol You can dig the music even if you don't like the man's actions.

I'm just curious (and I'm not trying to be sarcastic or snide): Would you say this if he was standing right in front of you?

Would anyone?

Shutting down fanmade websites are very, very uncool! I mean everybody can send a stupid C&D to anybody, it means nothing....kinda weird that Prince fans are always shying away. I am not sure if the same can be said by other artist's fans!

Basically, the force is lame ass!

Prince I will always miss and love U.

Him shutting down The Digital Garden was a surprise to me. I thought that the terms of the 2007 ceasefire were clear: we can discuss bootlegs but not solicit them or say where to get them. I never saw that rule violated on TDG. If TDG can be shut down, any fansite that discusses bootlegs is potentially in trouble.

Have to agree with this one also--TDG never violated any terms of the "Prince controlled contract." The fact that they gave in to cyber-bullying by the Prince squad is discouraging...but not surprsing. confused

These comments from the TDG Facebook page are interesting:

  • The Digital Garden It's more about using images of him and 'encouraging' people to seek out bootlegs. Nothing new from him.

  • The Digital Garden Rather than target the sites that openly have these recordings for download, they'd rather penalise us for 'talking' about them. How dare we! lol

Imagine how many threads on prince.org would have to be shut down if we aren't allowed to use images of Prince or "encourage" people to seek out bootlegs. Hell, every posting of mine violates the first rule because of my avatar. Get ready for the whole org to go down the memory hole...

Yeah that is stupid. Didn't know what it had to do with bootleg selling.
