I've never been a fan of HQ. Does not surprise me one bit.

Same thing happened to me. Then they quickly deleted relevant posts.
They (about 5 moderators) ganged up. They changed the subject entirely (I was not happy about the negativity towards prince and the deletion of any members posts who disagreed with it, my wifes posts were also deleted) Several other members agreed. PFU indeed?!

What purpose does HQ now hold? It is not a Prince Fansite.
They seem to hold him in contempt. And He is obviously not a fan.
In MY opinion.

And gestapo style behaviour from their moderators is just the final straw. I have to say I agree completely with Prince, if it was my fansite, I would shut it down. In MY opinion. I know many HQ folk hang around here and I'm not interested in a debate. Purely my own experiences.
Pity cause it's a nice site.

When I first joined HQ, I had changed my user name etc. I PM'd them and told them, god I even made a donation. These guys then said that I was a double member and up to no good. They told everyone I was a liar and banned me. Then continued to slag me off when I had no way of responding. Nice!. HQ is run by a load of power hungry fools.

In MY opinion.

All hail the great Aaron! "oh Aaron you look like Patrick Swayze!" PPPlease.
Sorry but I signed up to a Prince fansite not some fool with delusions of grandeaur, self appreciating fansite. In MY Opinion.

And in Princes Words
"The only reason to say my name is to get your 15 secs of fame
Nobody’s even sure what you do!"


The org is more fun, more positive and more about Prince fans.
Don't let it change.

I can ONLY agree with U.

Why do people insist on bringing HQ drama to the Org? Leave that crap over there please.

well i guess, its because people have become hurt an frustrated by the inability to stand up for themselves on HQ. And I suppose there is merit in discussing the fall and degradation of a fan site dedicated to prince. But you are right. Lets leave the negativity over at HQ. The last I will comment about it here. Have sympathy for those ill treated though. To bully and lie is wrong. Digitally or otherwise.

never like housequake, the org is 100000 times better, and people actually post hear, instead of waiting days for a few replys to a thread

Seems the last 4-5 pages of members responses have been ..em censored on HQ.
Gone, deleted. Click the link above, there are 9 or so pages of 'discussion' before a mod kindly locked the thread.

Now go to HQ and click same topic..Gone!, Vanished! ends at page 5.

Censorship is bad. Anykind of censorship infringes on someone elses rights.
No one person on this earth has the right to impose his or her views or morals on another. HQ needs to take a good hard look at itself and decide what the hell is going on.

If you can't take the heat (or train your moderators to have some common courtesy and social skills) Get out of the Kitchen.

Or maybe you think you can just hit the DELETE Button when you feel like it.

The post is 9 pages long in the above link, and is 9 pages long on the Housequake thread - the link above hyperlinks to the page on HQ - get it? It's really quite simple.

Nice try though - 3/10 for effort.

thebumpsquad said:

what do u mean nice try?
here we go again. It has been changed again, if the pages are back. I was not the only one who noticed it.

thebumpsquad said:

Thanks for that link, bumpsquad, I also tried to find what was going on directly through housequake and it only seems to be 5 pages long... ?? Dunno why..
it ends with lots of positivity towards housequake, lovely little comments about how aaron 'is a class act' etc.

However, when I used your link (how did you get that to work, it's great to find a way to free speech, well done!) I came across the real thread, WOW - the hate and bile, people about to kill each other and lots of people behaving like fascists! Trying to ruin that guys reputation and some mod saying 'housequake has more influence than you think'..
Very scary stuff. I hadn't realised housequake had gotten so nasty.
I was shocked. (But to be honest, not surprised. I think anyone standing up for Prince - me included - is fair game as far as housequake is concerned)
I'd say it's all downhill for housequake from here.
Not really much of a 'fansite' anymore is it...

I love prince.org
That sort of hate treatment gets cut down pretty fast here.
That glimpse onto housequake has left me slightly shaken tho, mite need some brandy...

^I didn't post a link.

thebumpsquad said:

Dear lord, of course! it was 'masterpro'.
Lost track, since you mentioned the above link, just thought it was you I had to thank for being helpful.
Well then, I think I would give you 10/10 for drawing my attention to how to get to the real thread. Even if it was unintentional.
Thanks!

I am also done with HQ. I read thru this, read thru J7's Prince and Sheila E siting post where the mods all came after him and notice they put an update on the frontpage now that took out all of these pages, which seems very much censorship to me. They lock all threads that have anything bad to say about the moderators.

wildgoldenhoney said:

Prince Fans Against HQ!..
Hmm PFAHQ doesn't really have a ring to it!

Rorywan said:

Who do they think they are? Prince's official site?

viewaskew said:

I Know! But seriously for a site to attack fans for standing up for Prince?
We go there because we love P! In the middle of all that PFU sillyness ANY fan who disagreed got attacked on HQ.

Shall I find a football video where 20 players
jump one one guy after he was tackled?....
Oh, never mind, I think the point was alreay made here.

But seriously, that happened to you and your wife?

wildgoldenhoney said:

I will PM you. I don't want to bring it all up here again.
Lets just say, I personally believ HQ is corrupt and and without any
moral leadership. It is about self importance, vanity and ignorance.
Not about loving prince and his music.

But I love your videos!

Rorywan said:

I'm trolling HQ right now!

Started a positive thread there
and see who attacks!
I'm such a trouble maker.
