and anyone who knows anything about prince can likely connect the dots in that if these three have seen the site and haven't detailed every little thing they saw, chances are they were made to sign a release limiting what they are allowed to describe (including the fact that they were made to sign a release). i'm not saying this is what happened, but it seems a pretty safe guess.

Aw c'mon L4...fans who support Prince are getting jumped on as well. Org members going kindergarten on them calling them koolaid drinkers, fams, sheep, asskissers, etc. Since when did anyone have to answer to an org member for supporting an artist of their choice? Constructive criticism is one thing, and there's nothing wrong with that, there will always be criticism as far as any artist's music is concerned, but you have to admit, you have some that plainly state how they don't like his music at all, won't spend another dime on any of his music/products, constantly criticize him for many of his actions..okay so we get that, but yet, they still spend an enormous amount of time and energy giving themselves high-blood pressure over and over again about their discontent with him.

Question is, if somebody is giving you that many issues to gripe about, then why are you spending an enormous amount of time on a fan community site dedicated to that particular artist? I know we are all entitled to our opinions but it makes no sense, that someone spends so much of their time and energy ranting about their discontent for one artist, day in and day out, when they could be using that time embracing an artist they're happy with. At least that would be time well spent.

If someone wishes to join P's new site and can afford it, then so be it, it's their choice, not mine and not yours.If others can't join the site right now because they have other obligations, okay, then that is understandable, as they apparently have obligations and priorities that have to be met. Like someone mentioned on another thread, this is about "entertainment," not a basic need or overhead expense that needs to be paid, like an electric bill/mortgage/fent/food bill/transportation money forto get to work/child support,etc., so one has a choice to make a personal responsibility decision, as to whether they can afford money for entertainment expenses or not. No one is putting a gun to anyone's head and forcing them to join. It's a personal choice. That's just my two cents. Want some more coffee?

Or it was a PR setup, as I suggested at the time!
This thread has gotten very agressive, how come it's ok to call people assholes
And bully in packs now? Is this cause HQ closed?

Just askin!

i'm just eating breakfast!

I have a microwave to heat it up if need be.

2elijah was right. The drama comes on its own! It's lunchtime, that means more Chicken! I found extra money, so now, I have Biscuits, Corn on the Cob, Cole Slaw, everything. Oh and of course good old Holla at me for whatever you want. The drama is FAR from over or as Prince would say, "It Ain't Ova"!!!!!

It has nothing to do with Housequake being closed! The same people who caused drama over there are the same people causing it here.

But I agree with you, the thread needs to be locked or snipped because its completely off topic and the name calling is unnecessary. Funny to notice who started that...those who supposably don't like or want drama.

purplecam said:

Are you kidding me? Wait until 3/24.. .the beeyotching sessions 1 - 10 will begin. Did you say lunchtime? Hmmm...I'll be going to Subways for lunch. The coats are coming off soon so have to watch the weight.

Rorywan said:

What does any of this have to do with HQ???

ItsOnlyMountains said:

Good question though, why was Housequake closed? I always seen that as a clearing house for bootlegs..haha

realm said:

you know it's funny because i was over there for years and i recall them forbidding linking to bootlegs

2elijah said:

Stop making sense 2elijah. It's too much for some. I'll take some , I got some food over by me if you want any.

stanleylieber said:

Yeah but I always though: does anybody have the 'artwork' for so and so bootleg was code word. Who knows? Maybe they dealt in fine bootleg art.

But it's true. It's all about personal choice. This reminds me of someone who went to see a movie, came back and told their friends it was trash. So instead of the friends taking the risk and checking it out for "themselves," and making "their own judgement" by spending the money to see if they would like it, instead they "followed" what that one friend told them, based on his own personal observation, and decided not to go. Thing is, you take a chance everytime you spend money, and everything you spend money on is not guaranteed to please you. So it's a choice and a risk you take. I've never been afraid o taking a risk, so you damn right I'm going to join the site.

Do I give a isht if somebody calls me some stupid ass name like a koolaid drinker, fam, sheep, ass-kisser? Heck no. I look at it this way, I won't be kissing none of their asses so why they hell are they worried about how I spend my money?

when did this become a thread about HQ? read the topic title!

2elijah said:

It's simple: Fans report to us that the new site has unreleased music/cds for download and the decision is easy.

Real music by real musicians.

Anxiety said:

hq had topic titles and i hear they also sold breakfast

realm said:

You make it sound like it's a movie where a couple of people from a group check out some new, unknown place to see if there are evil people around and then they come back and report to the group that "the coast is clear" so that everyone else can come in.

purplecam said:

Just report back if this "movie" about music has any audio
