Just kidding (well, at least in part). But seriously, for some1 who was never a member, it's pretty daunting to have all these people coming to boards that u frequent and talking about things u know noting about.
I don't really give a 's , but I do foresee the possibility that the tone of the place will change and I won't want 2 visit so mcuh.
OTOH, that's not such a bad thing, I waste WAY too much time here, and it's been pretty boring lately anyway.

Oh, please no personal references on this thread - it was designed as a general venting mechanism only...

I believe we've all been humbled when the plug was pulled. I think the Org will get more interesting in a good way.

I have been a member of The Org for quite some time and I am a charter member of NPGMC...i don't forsee a change...those who post will continue to post...those who observe (like me) will continue to observe...

if you're ever cornered by NPGMCers on here, just do a few posts in all-emoticons and they'll think you're one of them long enough for you to get away safely.

This is good shit! lmao!

wow I just thought of something

I was a charter member of the NPGMC too!!!

scared of them lol ? no

when they're mean and bad

just picture austin powers trynna b a tiger

I think it's hysterical that the Org posts more stuff about the clubmembers than they actually do. And you guys don't have to worry about a huge influx of NPGMCers coming here to roost, for the most part they know how you guys feel about them. Some of you guys didn't feel welcome over there and some of you are going out of your way to make them not feel welcome here. Bully for you. You guys say how the Org is better but some of you are not above the playground antics you accuse other of.

As for me, I was on Orger before I was a member of the club. I have never gone out of my way to make a newbie over there feel bad, even welcoming people and sending them private messsages but there is no joy on focusing on the positive aspects of anything.

is there really an us/them/you/me thing going on? i mean, really? cause i dont see it that way...

i just see folks having a lighthearted jab at the situation but i honestly dont think its deeper then that.

statements like what i've highlighted only aid in fueling the fire...i say we just go along like we have been doing from the very beginning...just everyone minding their own.

sosgemini said:

there has been an us vs. them thing going on since the message boards opened. I don't see it as lighthearted jabs, either. It's already resulted in two locked threads because of people flaming each other (I admit, I have too). When you have posters like Shapeshifter making negative comments about the Clubmembers referring to them as sheep and the like. do you really think folx are gonna want to be here?

Romera said:

honestly? i could care less...i just do my thang. others should too. not take it so serious. i dont know who posts here or there...and im sure thats applies to the majority of folks here (and there)...i really do feel that when folks feed into this stuff, thats what makes the issue.

so two threads were locked, how many folks even remember those threads? besides, its just folks being silly.

come on, lets make happy.

sosgemini said:

Um,the two locked threads just happened.

I think you are expecting people to do like you do. Some people do take this stuff seriously, SOS. real life relationships are formed here. folx even threaten other folx here.

but for you, I won't comment on this stuff anymore.

Romera said:

and i havent formed real life relationships from this site? what does that have to do with folks horsing around about invasions and us vs. them...

the only reason the problem exists is because folks let it...ignore the ignorance and you aint got a problem. i could see if we were dealing with real world problems like racism or jihad but we are talking about websites.

hate to sound insensative and all but come on, lets make happy.

sosgemini said:

THAT, or grow some thick skin

RockNRoll said:

Oh that's who you are.

Romera said:

I have NO idea what you mean, nor do I care to ask ..


EVERYBODY knows who the sheep are. It's those coming out to defend themselves after the big .
And the ones to ashamed, yet to come out

What ever happened to defending the NPGMC? .. wha? You feel betrayed? All that wasted and kissing ?

All that money and time to see your god and he disses you?

PANDURITO said:

Man, I can't get over that picture.. funny shit man

you need to replace the people with sheep

I was trying to figure out who you were as you seemed to be someone who knew whom i was and knew the people over at the NPGMC. Seems you got defensive for some reason as I did not even insult you. If that makes you feel better, good on you.

For your information, if you haven't been paying attention, I have still been defending the NPGMC. You told me to go outside or something on another thread.

I do not worshiip Prince, I never have and have never kissed his or anyone else's ass. Prince is not my God and the money I spent to go see him in Vegas was well worth it to me and pretty much everyone else there.

Dissed because the club closed down? Please. You see no mention of me giving a damn either way. The best part of the club to me was the people and seeing that I'm still in touch with most of them, I've lost nothing. Should Prince tour, I'm sure some form of the Club will open so we can get tickets.

How is it an invasion when some, including self, have been here all along?

If my memory serves me correctly, I can recall several times when clique members would make comments whenever an influx of lurkers would start posting...usually in response to an email that the club sent out...like the email with the 21 questions. Oh, how they snickered amongst themselves about that. They even went so far as to start a thread about it. It's not so funny now that the shoe is on the other foot.

And for the record, my problem was not so-much the so-called Prince ass kissing, it was the treatment that newbies and lurkers received from members of the clique. Not cool at all.

But for real though, some people take this whole message board experience a little to serious.
