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. ...


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.


I remember getting it delivered to my email box when I was in college smile

Me too! smile I miss saffy and armybrat. Those were such cool days, with klhk on the booty hunt all the time. I left because kelly-anne's posts were quite irritating.

I also remeber Infinities Heaven and Essences cause their posts were so long...whew!

I've been browsing the org for about 4 1/2 years. I didn't start chating until about 3 1/2 years ago.

The PPML was an email discussion list in "digest" format. Approximately once a day, the moderators would assemble all messages sent to the list into one email and send it out to the subscribers. At some point, Ben added a feature to the PPML archive website that allowed people to send messages to the list via the web instead of email.

Note that in the PPML days, all messages were (at least in theory) screened in advance by the moderators, so flame wars generally weren't a problem--Kevin, Mark, and Ben would quickly put an end to them. Also, off-topic posts would be deleted--there was nothing like our "General Discussion" forum.
Please note: effective March 21, 2010, I've stepped down from my prince.org Moderator position.

I've been visiting the org for 3 years and changed my name twice. I sort of go thru different emotions,and feelings and I feel like I need a change in name to reflect how I feel. lol Yeah, I'm sure that sounds a bit strange,but it's true. I happen to be on Sag's list of old orgers.

Strange is having at least five name changes and using them all in the same night/day. wink

I started back in I think around 1976, yeah 1976; it was our country's bicentennial and barbecues were rife. (Can anybody say Donnie and Marie? LMAO!) Yeah, those were heady days.

We didn't have computers back then, so my friends and I -- SNOOPY558961, LINUS2347854, and PIGPEN115698 (yeah, I know, handles were crazy back then lol) -- used to write silly little comments on index cards and distribute them at odd hours of the day and night.

Man the flame wars we got into. disbelief Boy oh boy, those were the motherf'n days...

Now I'm all nostalgic! Where are you PIGPEN115698!!??
