I used to post on the old Org, I was there for about a year I think. I have been here one year. So In Org years I am about two. How long have you been an Orger?

How old is the Org?
Who has been here the longest?

If there were any, how many versions were there before the black and purple? For how long were they up? I remember secretly checking out this site in high school, along with Steve Hammer's Prince page (remember him? and Dameshe's Luv Emporium?), and that was years ago, I'm 21 now.

I'd love to hear about it!

I lurked at the black and purple Org before I summed up the courage to post.

We need an Org historian!

Excellent idea! We could keep records, logs, significant events/anniversaries, and other stuff! I nominate HandClaps!!!

So did I.

this is my fourth year!

It's been almost three years.

I lurked up until a year ago.

This is my first year, on this version. I used to look at what was going on in the original, but never posted.

Thanks for the responses everyone!

Maybe you should consider lurking again.

I have been reading The Org and receiving (old) PPMLs (paisley park mailing lists) since 1996.

The PPML used to be on TogDog.Com in the early stages.

But unforunately I was not around to see the old PML (paisley mailing list) -- which started in 1995 -- right B-side? Right Kevin? Right Matt?

Geez, LoveSexy DC has been around the longest I'm sure -- something like 7-8 years (since 1994).

The PML/PPML /Prince.Org/TogDog ranks right up there being around the longest I think.

Steve Hammer's page (which is still accessible) was one of the first prince info sites I visited when I fist logged on.

Wow -- taking me back. ...

I've been coming here since late 1999 at around the time that Rave came out. I used to post quite often on the old site too.

Does that make it about 3 1/2 years?

Oh my.

Thankyou a2grafix! Was the PPML just a newletter? or was it also a website that you could post on. Sorry if this seems like a silly question.

althom's a pimp. what's so wrong about being a peter pan lurking guy, really?

INSATIABLE said:

I don't know if I'm supposed to be offended or what by that.

althom said:

me either... can you explain why everyone calls you that anyway? I'm not on here enough to catch on.

INSATIABLE said:

It's because he loves to dress up as Peter Pan.

In fact, we suspect that he really is Pan.

INSATIABLE said:

Oh that! It's an old joke that got out of hand when someone (Natsume I think) suggested that I was some Peter Pan freak from a website. I'd give you the post url, but it's disappeared from the site now.

Well, each man to his own, I guess... backing away...

Hmm, as far as I know it was an e-mailer, but you could read it online as well. The PPML was first on TogDog.Com, the first "Prince.Org" site. P.Org did not exist back, until recently.

When you needed you fill, the PPML was where it was at - just like the current Prince.Org.

And if you want to do some research, click on the PPML tab up there in the tool bar. Hmmm, guess the first-ever PPML issue was created on November 15, 1995.

And now when you click on TogDog.Com, it takes you directly to Prince.Org. Ben and Kevin kept the back-door open it seems.

But there is so more about TogDog and the old PPML. Anyone remember TogDog hosted the first-ever Love4OneAnother web site back in 1997? The colaborative effort didn't last as nothing was used in the official web site, which was right after TheDawn.Com. And as we know, Love4OneAnother morphed into NPOGOnlineLTD.com which morphed into NPGMC.Com .

But Prince.Org is where the news is at, even when there is no news to report on the official sites.
