xenophobia2002

things will be normal in due time.
The Housequake community is very strong...

After every concert tour, Prince has done similar things like this to his fanbase.
We will get over it, and as said by Gavin, if they (ie PRINCE) would have given us good quality photos (heck, even concert recordings, and not 10 minute teasers like on 3121), just like every other major star (or is Prince still the free the slave symbol person), all things would have been normal.

Treat your close fans, as your closest friends, and don't turn your back on them, like Prince does.

We are the ones that have supported him over the years, going to multiple shows, uying all his records, no matter how poor (!!) they are.

Give us the F U N K ... and you will get $$

Correct

... if he was there to be a silent observer then there was no need, but he claimed to want a debate, then porceded to bring absolutely nothing to the table.



Have you seen how Web Sheriff was received on Princefams.com ? Very differently it has to be said and I think WS may have been a little naive to think it would be a similar situation on HQ.

Agreed, but then HQ is a bigger site. People had been receiving cease and desist letters to their myspace and facebook accounts, they asked questions and WS wouldnt answer them.
His first post said he wasnt there to monitor things ("the thought police"), I think someone asked if he was a fan, and he said no. He wasnt nearly as "up for a debate" as he said he was, or very forthcoming with the answers.
Some people got a bit overzealous in expressing their frustration, but I saw at least 2 or 3 threads that gsh alone had cleaned up, Most people just liked the way HQ kept us upto date, and once web sheriff said he wanted to join us expected the same from him.

I hope HQ definetly comes back.

When moderators are deciding to quit, that is the max.

Do not let anyone get in your (our) way.

We are huge Prince fans and as many times said in the forum we always keep loving his work. but this controlfreak Prince is something i do not love.
Somehow i understand he want to control certain things, though he is going too far imo.
Funny.. is he expecting us to be the slave now?

Once again, just as with the ticket sales for London, i blame Prince.
I am very dissapointed that this is happening and hope Aaron and the rest keep the faith in continuing with HQ.
It feels like the resistance (we can always go underground)

I don't think HQ have done themselves any favours. The language and tone of some recent threads about Prince were astonshing for a fan site.

I believe that Prince is entitled to try to exert control over pictures of himself, video of himself at work, and the music he makes.

You recently complained

And there were no photos of Prince leaving a nightclub in London's free papers tonight.


You can't have it both ways.

Hey Gemini

The point I was making, albeit bluntly is that you cannot sat that Prince has the right to control all photos of himself and then complain that there's no paparazzi shots in the papers. The two points are a direct contradiction.

It doesnt and isnt. However HQ is a bigger website than princefams in the sense that it has more members, thats just a fact. I wasnt trying to make anything of it. As a result of so many fans being in one place some of the members of HQ had already been sent C&D letters.

Then Aaron & TurnitUp went off line so they decided to lock the thread (I guess because they wanted to make sure things didn't get out of hand w/o legal monitering?) and they asked Websheriff to please not post until/unless talking to Aaron or TurnitUp. Websheriff did not listen, posted more legal stuff, and that's why he got banned.


Not entirely true - I had to go offline so I emailed Web Sheriff and asked them to hold of posting for a bit.

I do feel this is being blown out of proportion a touch.

ps - Prince.org should NOT feel safe by the way. I'll be emailing Ben today on the subject.


Thanks for the clarification. I didn't mean to misrepresent or blow anything out of proportion.
