Yes u did eye have a list and ur on it......im better man....cool:boogie:

I would say it has aided in changing my prospective on a thing or two, which may have adjusted how I might handle some things, but I'm still the person I've always been.

yes it sure has

when i first joined i was a big chicken - 2 scared to post, thinking i would be eaten alive.... well some of u bitches r scary

but then i got to know familiar names / faces and i got all

i went through stages... 2 scared 2 post... drunk posts.... pissed off posts... horny sexual posts.... sober hangover posts... normal posts.... silly posts... funny posts

my threads were all over the place just like now

but i must say, it's been fun growing here

and i'm hoping i got to change the org a lill 2....... cause in a way this place changes just like we do, all the time

Not really.

Sure.

* It's made me more probing on certain questions.

* It's helped me to see and appreciate things from a global perspective.

* It's broadened my knowledge and tastes in music.

* It's been a record of where my head's been over the past 8 years, so that I can see areas of my own evolution.

* Some folk here have been supportive and encouraging at difficult moments, helping to strengthen my faith and confidence in myself and other people.

* Some folk here have needed me to be supportive and encouraging at difficult times, helping me to find out what I'm made of when I must "walk it like I talk it."

Clearly, though, it hasn't helped me to be less long-winded and sentimental.

For the first few years on the Org I pretty much just lurked around a bit. I honestly joined for the info.

Then somehow this quirky site got into my bloodstream, not unlike my caffeine addiction. I found myself logging on daily.

It did not change me, but when my life twisted all on its own & forced me to change as a person, I discovered that this place became a haven for me. A respite from the chaos. A forum for me to VENT and (thankfully) receive words of encouragement & advice.

So the Org did not necessarily change me as a person, but it was a sort of catalyst that I utilized in my (still ongoing) change.

I haven't changed... but dealing with all you crazy assed mofos.... I've learned to appreciate myself more.

That's an awesome way of putting it.

It developed a little bit of my sense of humor and taught me it's okay to be an asshole in moderation, cause Prince is too funny when he is, and so are all of you

And album and music recommendations in the music section helped too

yes.

I don't know if I've changed as a person but I sure as hell know where to find some weird-ass shit on the interwebz now...

I've heard the infamous "Batdick Joke"...

I've met and partied with some of the most amazing people...

I've made new friends around the world...

Nope, I am still the same person. I just have better sex and better friends now.

Yes.

I've gotten introduced to a lot of great music on the music:non-prince forum and some of that stuff has had a big impact on my life. The type of music I am currently listening to always sets the mood for a current period and even influences many of the life decisions I've made (not least because I've worked in a recording studio and studied music as well).

I've been on the prince fan sites since the mid-90s, so it's hard to tell what my life would be like without ever starting to visit them in the first place.

On one stormy night in 1996...

Not particularly.

the org has helped me embrace the fact that i am still half human.

i know what OTA ASS KABOOM means now. that has to count for something.

When I refrained from a great part of my social life I went to the org. Therefore the org played an important role in my life for that period.

I needed to do some serious soulsearching and orgers challenged me on my filtered views. Thank you. I like the confrontations and the things I had to learn about myself.

The divorce-music thread still is a warm memory for me. There were great orgers who supported me during my divorce hassle.

I used to walk away when I didn't like somebody, here on the org I learned to apreciate the orgers for who they are.

Life is influenced by those you love and so many people I love are here, so I'm gonna go with yes.

This entire post is exceedingly gay yall. Gay gay gay gay gay!

I don't know if anything significant has happened to me on the org that would facilitate a change in my personality.

I can say that there are things that I definitely appreciate about the org.

• orgers with a sense of humor
• orgers supporting orgers during rough times
• orgers who find out about Prince info and post it, so I don't have to put forth any effort
• and most important - the orgers that I've met IRL - y'all are the best!
