Hello Dej.

You just took the angry away.

Reading through this thread I've noticed that the people most aggravated by the club's closing are the ones who seemed to post on the .org all the time to complain about what is wrong the club, and why they hate fams, and the NPGMC mods are mean, and why HQ was better and blickety, blickety, blah, blah, blah. Now the shits closed and you're still complaining.

The retail is still available at www.3121.com. Chill out everyone, the Music Club will be back in some kind of format. If he chooses to charge a new fee and you want to re-up, then so be it. If you choose not to re-up, then so be it. If you are a PRINCE fan, and you want to continue to follow and receive any perks associated with P himself then its a no-brainer. The people who joined during the Musicology run, just to get tickets at a discounted price, then you got your $25.00 worth by far. For the longtime peeps, yes it sucks cause we thought that the goodtimes were here FOREVER for $25.00. Well, when is the last time a BUSINESS gave something for nothing? NEVER!!! He cannot afford to do biz in this manner. If you have the means(Money) and you want to continue on the journey of NPG, then you have nothing to worry about. Just the fact that we all had access to premium seats via the club, was payment in full. I figure that the $312.00 charge in Vegas was to weed out the people in the club, that were just there along for the ride. I didnt buy the tix and I've been around since '79(by my choice), seen MANY live shows and I live in L.A.!!!!

I just hope that it comes back in some form, and we(the FAMS, lol) can continue to sit upfront in the FUNKFESTS!! As far as I'm concerned, P doesnt OWE anybody anything. Lets do this P, some of us are waiting for the next stage of the FUNK!!

irrelevant! we are not the ones that offered that deal. he did. he is obligated to stick to it.

SlamGlam said:

Not sure if "obligated" is a good word. All organizations change business models by raising or lowering prices all the time. If he raises the price, believe me, it will come with some perks, it's up to each individual whether they support that or not.

Plus, folks are gonna be creamin' their panties when it opens back up and tickets go on sale. Practically everybody on this site was a member of the club.

Anx said:

I got mine a little after midnight on July 4th. I was kinda taken aback, but when I think about it I could say the signs were there. Particularly the member questions email and the demo song. Check T-17's message on this topic over at HQ.



I'm thinking P will have some new ideas to share eventually.

Romera said:

Exactly ... cue up the "Fronters Unite" pic.

Romera said:

I think that's human psychology. When you hate on something, you're okay with it because in the back of your mind it's still there. Now that it's gone and coming back better than ever, yup, folks gonna be in line in record numbers.

Ifsixwuz9 said:

but i already posted it...

Ifsixwuz9 said:

Folks hate the club but this thread is on straight fiyah!!!

Nobody hated it til today?

Whatever.

ccollin88 said:

I hope you were joking here. Cos if you wanna talk about an old and dated sound, let's talk Jam and Lewis.

i just want to ask folks please dont quote "flames". theres a request to this forums mods to delete the comments already so lets not create extra work...

pretty please...

Romera said:

What it is, Sis? I swear I was gonna call you and see if you needed a after the news,

Guess he's got something up his sleeve...I'm cool till the next go round.

I guess he didn't like my comments about his new demo...

babynoz said:

Naw, I actually wasn't upset about it at all. It's a website and the friendships I have exist outside those walls. Shit, everybody's over here anyways and I can go visit the other forum when I need a fix.

Anx said:

well, wasn't the NPGMUSICCLUB membership advertised as a on off loif membership? or is it me who has got it wrong. No warning, good friends lost for ever. Wots the matter the money not rolling in quick enough, oh and 3121 sucked!!!!!

Anx said:

Handclapsfingasnapz said:

I know but it needs to be posted again...

Wot the? NPGMUSICCLUB no more? Is my mind failing me or was the club memebership a one off payment for life membership? So many friends lost without warning! wots up did the money stop rolling in quick enough?

Romera said:

Me too. I've got contact info for the few pals I had over there, so no worries. Honestly, my first reaction was, I hope all is well and apparently it is, so Imma just chill.

I agree with Handclaps. Now he can have some down time and plan his next move with one less thing to worry about.

Mebeingme said:

Wow, who are you? Is this your name over there?

You know, a lot of y'all are not fair on this thread. While I do not agree with some of the stuff that went down over there, what kind of jollies can people get from talking shit about people who aren't here?

there were about five people who had more than 30 thousand posts over there and I am sure for the most part, most folks did not even try to interact with those folks or people with way less than that, like me. never once did I jump on a newbie because they were new. Now, if folks felt intimidated by certain members, who's damn fault was that? Can't nobody control what and where you post. Rd and I didn't get along sometimes but damn, I am gonna stand my ground on stuff and if some of you didn't, that's on you.

Mods, for real, why is there so much flaming allowed on this thread?

this forum's mods have been given a heads up...once one of them logs on then they will clean up...in the meantime please dont quote a flame or flame someone yourself (cough cough)...

Romera,

Step AWAY from your computer..... step outsite (outside) and breathe.. There IS a life after the NPGMC.

Greetings Family,


family? you treat your family this way? by slamming the door in their face with absolutely no warning whatsoever?

my guess is u got a lot to learn about the meaning of the word FAMILY.



The NPG Music Club has been in xistence 4 more than 5 years.


so what


In that time we've learned a great deal from each other and about this brave new online world we have all chosen 2 b part of.


pity you never learned about manners


The members we have been 4tunate enough 2 have join r family have truly made this the best music club any artist could ever dream of.



and the way you show your apparent love for them is by being rude conceited and egotistically defensive and unkind... not to mention ungrateful which is proven by the number of times you NEVER said thank you...

one little piss-ass letter that you shove under the door for all those people to pick up while their on their knees wondering what the fuck happened is in no way a testiment to your feigned sentiment of gratitude which is by all accounts utterly reprehensible due to its obvious hypocrisy



And all the things we have been a part of 2gether -- the concerts, the celebrations, the soundchecks, the discussions and the un4gettable music -- have shown us what a New Power Generation can truly b.



um no you showed what it isnt


We thank u from r hearts 4 sharing urselves and ur love of the music with all of us. It has been a blessing.


words are cheap



Once the NPG Music Club won the 2006 Webby Award, discussions within the NPG began 2 center on what was next.



how bout a fucking reality check?



What’s the next step in this ever-changing xperiment? The achievements of the past cannot be questioned



exactly - they cant be questioned with you becuz ur so deeply buried in denial you actually think what you've done was a good thing more than it was detrimental to the many many people who were psycholigically traumatised as a result of your incipid conceit and that of other members whom you chose to keep as part of your club despite the harm they were doing to far kinder and meeker souls.


and we are truly grateful 4 everything that has been accomplished.


er yes you keep saying that which psychology 101 suggests is a sure sign you're faking it and desperately hoping everyone will believe you. try refunding money to people who joined in the last 3 months..or is that too much of a stretch for ya?


But in its current 4m there is a feeling that the NPGMC gone as far as it can go.


ya got that right. clean it the fuck up and start listening to people who know better than you


In a world without limitations and infinite possibilities, has the time come 2 once again make a leap of faith and begin anew?


please do


These r ?s we in the NPG need 2 answer. In doing so, we have decided 2 put the club on hiatus until further notice.


aw.. you got questions? you mean you didnt notice all the answers alot of people have been giving you for like the last 5 years? and now just cuz you got questions...you selfishly slam the door on people and their connections with their friends and expect them to accept that 'your search for obvious answers' takes precedence over common courtesy??



The NPG Music Club was a first step; the lessons learned will last 4ever. Now comes a time of great reflection and restructuring. The future holds nothing but endless opportunity and we plan on seizing it wholeheartedly. Don’t u want 2 come?


um no not really - not if its run by the same people and not if you have forums or chatrooms and certainly not for as long as you and others like you are leeching off Prince by making a club under his own name and running it like its all about you and what you want - instead of what is BEST FOR MUSIC.


Love4oneanother,



mm yeah you've really shown em what love is haventcha.....


NPG Music Club 4ever


um no.. Prince's music 4ever

not some 'club' which if you look at history - clubs only serve to separate and are utterly divisive by nature.

hope this all helps to answer some of your 'questions'

Anx said:

So they could talk about "cow mucus"?????

RockNRoll said:

Sweetie, what makes you think I don't have a life outside NPGMC?

Because I care about people I know outside of cyberspace?

By the way, today's the first time I've been on the Org for a minute.

Way to make a judgement about someone you don't know.
