How were you introduced to the org?

I'm not really sure myself...

I was just sayin to a friend (an orger obviously) about how much i've grown to love this place...


I was googling prince my freshman year in college one night (i think) and low and behold...


who knew i'd find so many nuts who could relate to my freaky ass...


it's like we're all sitting around a fire singing "Jack U Off"

touched


half of ya'll feel like brothers and sisters to me....even if we've never "spoke"...

I remember first being here like "why dont anybody respond to me?"...and "how the hell are they doin that qout thing??"

(yeah i was slow)

and "Who the fuck is langblu? He/she is like a supercomputer or something...lol"

...well actually i still feel that way....



so anyway, what's ya'll story (since I'm feelin all mushy)

I typed in "Prince.com" and it went to a tennis website.

Annoyed by this, I typed in prince.org and it came to the old black-and-purple org.

I lurked and red prince related news, never bothering to enter the threads for years.


Then in 2003-2004sh (I can't remember now), bananacologne started a Prince photoshop thread, and I was so tickled by it, that I signed up so I could post images on it. Stayed mostly in M&M for about 6 months, then moved over to GD after that. I've PWNed the shit out of this place since.

A co-worker knew I was a Prince fan and turned me on to the site when it was still purple and black. I lurked for over a year and didn't want to post at first because I thought the Org was very disrespectful to Prince.

My friend David from Belgium told me about this place, I had actually met him on some other Prince website. giggle I just lurked for years upon years, reading about Prince and his music etc...then this past summer I came across a photowhore thread in GD started by Jess, and since then, I have been hooked! lol

Thanks Jess! giggle

grew up obsessed with prince, and it seemed like the best prince website initially (i can't stand housequake), but then started posting in earnest when i realised it had the best, most diverse community on the net, hands down. Prince or no Prince. steered well clear of GD initially with its cliquey-ness, but slowly got used to it, and now i like it, alot.

It is so completely diverse.

It's wonderful. I've met lifelong friends on this site. Ones that help me grow.


Though I think it's a little bit cliquey now, I never felt it was when I was a newbie. Everyone was always cracking me up and we all had a good time. I think we started doing yahoo chats the second week I was posting in the GD forum.

So many good laughs. lol

i can agree...i was talking to adorable2 about how the longer your on the org, the more it becomes about the people you met here...


it's kinda like high school lol





...i always wondered about housequake...checked it out once, but i was already in too deep over here smile
