I believe on that date, the NPGMC will be running again, which will kick off a series of shows or tour.

Experience of a lifetime it was!

Hands -
Were you at that show too? Don't tell me you were dancing to the Ohio Players and doin cartwheels?

npgfreak said:

That was great! Unfortunately, Handclaps wasn't able to be in Vegas.

That Lady was throwin down!!!

I can believe that. I always wondered how they could keep running after members only paid a one-time fee of $20. Sting charges $40 A YEAR for membership to sting.com. At least that's what I was paying about five years ago before I cancelled my membership.

WHAT THE HECK!!!!! I got no notice of the NPGmusicclub shutting down and I have been a member for a while . I just found out today when I signed into here.

It's 1:22am on July 5 and I have yet to receive the announcement. Let you know when I get it, if I get it.

Same here--I just checked my email *again* and nothing.

I got the email about the new demo last week, but so far nada about the hiatus. At least they were inconsistent with their emails to the very end.

This blows. They should have carried the site until the new site was ready. I want the membership fees refunded for myself and my girl.

I'm with you! I'll be right there!! I don't remember the specific quote about lifetime membership, but I first joined when it was around $100 a year and when the $25 lifetime membership came up, I couldn't understand what that was about...still don't. I didn't think it would last. In fact, I'm surprised it lasted this long. It never made a lot of sense to me. It just kind of made it easy for many less serious fans when it came to concert tickets. Those people who are complaining about having paid $25 and wanting a refund are just seriously cheap. Sorry, that's how I see it! Anyone who paid it surely has gotten their money's worth by now. It just sounds silly!

Prince was never the same again after that

Here's a thought...and its probably already posted earlier in the thread...Today was independence day..perhaps after winning the award P thought it was time to gain his independence from the net...Thoughts?

largeroomnolight said:

Oh snap! Were U and pandorito at the show on sat or sunday?

npgfreak said:

If by pandorito you mean me, I wasn't there
Las Vegas is quite far from Spain. Maybe next time.

Confundido...why did you write he wasn't the same after that?

Prince was never the same after that.
He closed down the npgmc.
Isn't that proof enough?


I was kidding

Well now that the NPGMC is shut down Prince can now watch Us here & over at Housequake 2 c what we're saying about this. So if ur reading this Prince PLEASE DON"T RECHARGE US 2 JOIN....AND hurry up & tour!!

HEY - WHAT IS GOING ON???

I got no e-mail either about the club shutting down.... What about tours, we will have to trawl through press to find out about them!

Hope it opens again soon.

I think its fucking excellent the NPGMC forums have gone. I never posted there because the ass lickers that were posting on it 5,000 times a day were scaring me shitless.

Shame about the club seating, but thats it, the merchandise was getting crap.

Aha, lo siento..Yes of course something is definetly up with him. Sorry I mispelled your name.

Funny, probably the reason why they only charged $25 is so people didn't think it was too expensive. No point in charging $40 if everyone cancels their membership! That's hardly a way to make money and keep the website afloat!

If the club was bleeding money, they only have themselves to blame. Spending money creating boxes full of clothing and paraphenalia that not many fans bother buying. Other than that, a website doesn't need a lot of money to run it, you don't need a giant staff force unless it updates everyday, which the npgmc didn't. Okay, they need a mod or 2 to moderate the chat rooms, and someone to put new mp3s online for download - but as we all know, that didn't happen that often. I'm sure they could streamline the website if necessary and get it back to basics.

Certainly emails to members have got increasingly erratic, arriving at different times and days apart. The system must have been screwing up somewhere.

But surely, to pay for itself all the club had to do was offer more new mp3s for download more regularly? Prince had got so much material, live and otherwise, it's time he started using it to pay for the club. I mean, with the $50 million he earned from the Musicology tour and after paying $60,000 a month rental on his LA home, surely he could afford to keep the club open out of his own money as a vanity project?

I'm wondering whether it's a case of he's fallen out with the company designing and controlling the website.

Feliz Cumpleanos Pandurito!

Gracias!

29th of August?

hmm

file check

Michael Jackson's birthday???

I just hope that the new site will incorporate an iTunes selling feature, so that those who CHOOSE to buy AAC files can do so. (See Pearl Jam's site).

I also hope that the "mansion" look of the old site will go away and be more user-friendly.
