They did send an email letting you know it was ending. It didn't really explain why, but they did make folks aware. Hell, more than half of you wouldn't have known about it if you really never went to NPGMC in the first place But for those who signed up when the price dropped... c'mon you should've gotten your money's worth. For those who popped up in this forum asking every 3 weeks "Should I join?" and "Why should I join?" and joined this summer in hopes of cheaper concert tickets... I've really got no sympathy for you and I don't think you've got a real reason to be bitter. You were give an advantage just like everyone else and you waited until you thought it would benefit you... it's just a wrong place, wrong time type of deal. If you joined last week, I'd ask for the money back. But if you waited until 3121 dropped, nahhh!!! Was the club all that is could have been? In my opinion, that's a definite no. But there was plenty of time to weigh options and benefits of it. Unfortunately some of you waited too late. [Edited 7/5/06 7:08am] I never received any email letting me know it was shutting down!!! I did join just recently, but not because I had some scheme to wait until the price dropped or until 3121 came out. I joined recently because I just now had "extra" money and as a treat to myself, I did something I have wanted to do for such a long time-I joined NPGMC. I have wanted to be a part of it for a long time and while $25 really isn't a lot of money (for most) to me it was. I've spent so much time taking care of family members and not doing stuff for myself and I was really looking forward to being a part of the NPGMC. So, yeah i am bitter and hurt because I know that when /if he starts another site, with a higher price I will once again be left out of it. I AM BEATLOAF

apples1999 said: Thanks ok now go ahead..make fun of me....put me down Beautiful Apples1999. God doesn't just tells me how much he "LOVE's" me, God shows me how much he "LOVE's" me. Both telling and showing "LOVE" means to "LOVE". They go hand in hand. You can't have one with out the other. Something is spoken, then followed by an action. That is | |

I never even received the email. I went to sign on this morning and nothing! I thought it was me, but then I came here and read the news ... I signed up for the concert tickets and those were so great through the NPG, as well as the little heads-up's we always received through the Club. I will miss it, but will remain optimistic that something new will come from this decision ...

It only reminds people every single second that he has become a Jehovah's witness. Now that Prince has had his fill of mainstream-courting, Larry is back on stage, Prince is back to doing Sly Stone covers and Tina is ready with the towels. | |

when I read that email on my blackberry yesterday I said to myself hmmmm...I knew somethign was up because it kept saying thanks for all the support...the second time I read it I actually said get to the point.
Something is up ya'll. This is a highly ilregular move. I mean that was just abrupt...site gone just like that. P take a break man...get somes rest...rejuvinate...take some time off. Be with you wife and enjoy your family. Prince has an ego ya'll ...we all do. BET Awards, American Idol, GMA, no radio airplay, the ignoring of Black Sweat which is vintage r&b/funk Prince a record that has sold less than 500K copies. I think hes very disapointed We love you man...take as much time as you need Dance... Let me see you dance | |

I'm one of America's working poor. Little things like getting my hair done or buying a new outfit "just because" or (omg) going on vacation are extravagances for me. There's millions of us working and struggling and still living below the poverty level, it's just not hip to admit how poor you are!! Joinig the NPGMC really was like a little treat to myself and it became a waste of a VERY hard earned $25.00. That would be awesome if I could join again-if there is anything to join. Even though I keep saying I'm through with HIM (Prince) I've enjoyed the few times I spent in the chat room and meeting new people from around the world!! I AM BEATLOAF

I am actually pretty upset, and I was not even a member! I was actually going to join a couple of days ago to hear the new demo, but thank God I didn't! I would have paid the fee just to hear one song. I do hope they bring it back in some form, because I am a huge Prince fan, and I regret not getting to be a part of the club Wanna hear me sing? www.ChampagneHoneybee.com | |

Basically the email said the same thing as has already been posted. July 6 and still no email. It's not in my spam folder--I didn't get it. Which is fine, whatever... It's just annoying that I received the one about the demo last week (or whenever it was) and now this one--which says stay tuned for updates--I don't get; leading me to be a bit pessimistic about actually receiving said "updates." Honestly, it's not that difficult to do an email blast correctly. The check. The string he dropped. The Mona Lisa. The musical notes taken out of a hat. The glass. The toy shotgun painting. The things he found. Therefore, everything seen–every object, that is, plus the process of looking at it–is a Duchamp. | |

NNNNOOOOO!!!!!
Say it isn't so!!?? I just resigned myself to shelling out the $50 bucks for a tamborine!! I REALLY want one and I finally decided. . .F-it. . I deserver it!! When I went there this morning to do the deed. . it wasn't coming up. At first I thought it was just my computer, but then I decided to see what was happnen at the ORG and THIS!!??? I don't believe it!! I am absolutely HEARTBROKEN! Prince. . .PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE come back!! This is just not fair to us fams. I have been a member since it's inception and have always LOVED having that connection. Even though I never recieved an email regaruding this. This just isn't right!! It doesn't make any sense to me. You get a Webby for having the most EXCELLENT site and then you take it DOWN???!!! What the. . . .????? I feel hurt! I feel like you are dissing us!! | |

I got the email.
I 'll just wait and see what he does, he has to do something to control the situation. I think it's funny how people who don't like it here are using this site to hook up with other members, like a secret society or sumthing. That's cracks me up!!! welcome to the ORG NPGMC members...welcome to our world We all should know that diversity makes for a rich tapestry, and we must understand that all the threads of the tapestry are equal in value no matter what their color.

a previous npgmc moderator has stated in response to why some did not receive the emails:
eye can not answer that question. eye am sure this may come as a surprise 2 some, but Mods are not site admins as just moder8ing a large website with 1000s of members online at the same time is a full time job. Many people have not gotten emales so we are looking into that issue for the future. | |

Prince has emancipated himself from his fans and I don't blame him one bit. Why should he provide a forum for negativity?
When it was first known that the club was not accepting new memberships, I posted that he was probably going to shut down the forums like George Michael did. Looks like I was right. Oh well, I wish you the best Prince in your next endeavors. | |

i swear, this is one of the most rabid threads i've ever seen in all my days here. prince should close stuff down more often, it moves the dust around in here. | |

Oh well, I wish you the best Prince in your next endeavors. If the forums' negativity was the reason (directly or indirectly) behind the shutting down of the entire website, why not only close the forums and chat? Isn't that a bit like throwing the baby out with the bathwater? I personally don't believe the tone of the forums or the interaction of the fans therein to be the impetus behind the sudden closing of the Music Club. To assume such importance in the scheme of things or why this decision was made is actually rather presumptious and arrogant. | |
