Is Ben given the respect he deserves for this site?

As far as I'm aware, Ben pays for this site all by his own self. (If I'm wrong, then please correct me)

Let's take a look at some facts;

-This place is my internet home. And, I imagine, that it's the internet home of most of the readers of this thread.
-It's my escape from the real world.
-I've made virtual friends here whom I would LOVE to meet.
-I've received gifts from Orgers who I have never met (and may very well never meet - although I'd love to).
-This site makes me laugh, think and learn, as well as giving me the latest news on Prince (and other things).
-It's the greatest free entertainment that I have access to.


So, this thread is for everybody to give a great big 'Thanks!' to Ben and the Org.

I don't care if this thread comes across brown-nosing - I just feel that we ought to be appreciating the man who made this all possible.

clapping worship to Ben.

Who's with me?

Brown nosing is allowed! Yup Ben deserves much props, and so does Val for allowing him to put so much time into the site smile

Yeah, I think he's given the respect he deserves. Everyone here respects him, so what else is there?

But as I've said before, I appreciate what Ben has given us with this site. It is also my internet "home" ... the place I always start at and come back to, whatever it is I'm doing on the web.

I think we all appreciate it greatly. Thanks Ben smile

prince.org takes up approx. 50% of my online time, with porn occupying the remainder. If it wasn't for the Org, it'd be all porn, all the time. And that can't be healthy.

Thanks Ben, for saving my eyesight. You are like some latter day Jesus Christ. nod

Yes.Thank you Ben. My time at prince.org is been very important for me. I can't find no words, how much. By the way: Internet, and forums like prince.org and a few others, and you all here, you're a part of my life dream. Yes. I have always dreamed to have a situation like this. A place where people from all these diffrent coutries, lenguages, cultures and religions and political individualists, can talk together about Love and Peace and all that things and more, loving eachother like this. Because Love lieves!

Thank you. Thank you, Thank you.

I am deeply offended by the clearly anti-American image on your avatar. I will report you to the moderators!!

That's it, Ben has had enough props now. What about Org stalwarts such as MrBliss, Haystack, and Shausler? These guys see very little return on their investment of humour on this site, while the big posters like IceNine, Aerogram, Aaron, 2the9s etc get all the kudos. What's that about! Props to MrBliss and Haystack and Shausler biggrin

This is true. Also, I rarely see the females getting any credit. Off the top of my head, Paisley and Handclaps. enrich this place as much as the people you mention.
