I disagree that PP9 is actually Prince.

I think that it needs to be said that it is just the "U Tell Us" forum, not the entire site. Even the chat is still active, despite yesterday's rumor.

Don't you think its funny? They close the "U tell us" bit. They don't like it both ways.

They've done the cyber version of covering their ears.

Speaking of the U TELL US ROOM.

This week I was flipping thru one of last year's Architectural Digest magazine's...and lo and behold, there's a picture of NPGMC'S 'U Tell Us' Room (japanese lanterns etc). It's an identical enhanced graphic of one Mason Florence's photographs of the same room in the Chiiori House, a farmhouse owned by Alex Kerr in the mountains of Japan. So you see, Prince steals as well (Oh maybe he didn't steal it, maybe he had permission to use it...but it sure ain't original).

The NPGMC experience is a rip too. Sure it's only $25, but when you TAKE 10,000 fans at $25 - that's a coo quarter million. And what do you get for it. Nadda...a never changing forum simply for Prince to spew.

This whole issue I guess is disturbing to some. Kind of a new take on 'when the shit hits the fans'. Doesn't really phase me tho. The man lost reality a long time ago; unfortunate but true.

Y'all just think about what you're supporting with that $25.

Peace

So far, I'm glad I didn't re-up my membership. Now, if he tours in Florida...

It's not just the U Tell Us forum, they also closed down the member connection and the Knowledge room. How ridiculous. What is bothering him? Is he upset about the complaints of the new dvd only being 80 min? You'd think he could find some happiness with all he has.

You make it sound like Prince is the webmaster of the site or something. Certainly his people are in charge of the site and he has input and responsibility as to what goes on it, but I just don't see Prince at home saying "I need to close this section , that section, and the other section.."

I would guess that the moderators of the site made the call to close the forums, and who knows whether or not Prince had any personal involvement with that decision.
