like I said....I guess I'm just more patient than you and others. I would hate to sign a petition only to wish I hadn't cause the site eventually comes through...

how would you know that the site hadn't come through as a result of the petition?

I think that when people believe they have not recieved value for their money they have a right to make their concerns known. Where would Prince himself be now if he had been the kind of person who was afraid to make a few waves when he felt he was not being treated fairly?

Exactly! Prince has stated in more than one interview how he felt about not owning his masters, his relationship with Warner Brothers, etc. If we're not happy with Lotusflow3r because they're not giving us what we were promised, we have every right to voice our opinions/complaints.

I knew someone (and probably you) would ask that. I guess it would all depend on the situation and actual events. I'd have to decide based upon any information I could gather if it had anything to do with it....or not. My guess is this petition will linger here on the org and never really go anywhere...but by some chance say like a whole 200 sigs are gathered up and sent in....I still don't think it'll have much if any impact.

Absolutely! And look what Warner Bros. did - they just signed those masters right over to him.

Oh, wait...

fans complaining about the NPGMC the year of the "four albums delivered to your door" had impact. we got C-NOTE and xpectation.

fans complaining via PFU had impact. it was acknowledged with "PFUNK" and then prince's camp worked directly with the fan sites on various projects and promotions.

i don't think voicing dissatisfaction is a waste of time at all, given the track record.

That's why I think there's something wrong somewhere. Either there's a legal issue that's holding things back, or (hopefully not) a health issue that's put Prince down.
As of right now, the only criticism I have is the lack of information. If it's a legal matter, I wish they'd say they're working through it,so then at least we'd know why nothing is happening.

Anxiety said:

well...like I said Good Luck!
and I'll be sure to thank all y'all when/if we ever get anything outta that site. Cause lord knows it will be because of the petition that we get it.

psychodelicide said:

you're not really comparing owning your masters to not being happy with lotusflower website are you? Nahhhh....couldn't be.

I do agree with part of your post. It would have been nice if a mass email was sent out to members stating that "Things are currently on hold until further notice and we apologize for any delay(s) or inconveniences we have caused teh members"" or something like that, but who am I kidding?

It would be nice for lotusflow3r to have better communication with its members, instead of leaving all of us in the dark, wondering what was going on.

psychodelicide said:

That was my point, unfortunately, we're still in the dark.

You didn't join. Great. You made the right choice - for you.

So what are you doing here? I mean...what's your point?

Genesia said:

It's a free sight and I am entitled to be here damn it!!!!!

So what the hell are YOU doing here????

what ever happens, my petition is not going to make things worse. people have paid for a year he cannot take lotusflow3r of the air without refunding people that is actually a crime.

1.7 - OTHER TERMS AND CONDITIONS

Lotusflow3r reserves the right to change the terms and conditions of sale at the Lotusflow3r website at any time.

That is so Prince. Technically, when most folks signed up the day the site opened Prince could have delivered absolutely nothing and there's not a darn thing any of us could do about it.

ok.i'm glad you raised that point. Rumours.....?

At the start of the year-when the reporter was at the mansion-Prince WAS limping..

He's had a cane-(and seemingly does not use it.?) all this year.....

The security 'leak' (was this real ?) which mentioned ''what he has to do for his hip''.....

Then-the appearence first of pics outside in Paris-looking as most commented-ill....Folowed immediately by the limo exclusive pics-full make up-lookig very well and healthy (retouched some said) strangely-sent to Funkenberry

The fact even Wendy mentioned recently to the org interview- Prince was in pain (or was it alot of pain) her comment alone tells me they are NOT just rumour.....

Personally-i think the limo pics were a bit suss.like they were meant to tell us something-unfortunatley-the Prince camp pretty much clammed up completely since then (was the recent gold suit appearence long after these pics ? )

so....I don't think the hip thing is rumour. I am not saying anything more or worse has or is happening-he could just be chilling.....BUT

it feels like a year after a lacklustre release-not 4 months since a great releasse-Prince usually capitalises on this.....But its complete silence.

So-i'll say it again-im not inferring anythinh bad has happened-but i think we can safely say-the hip thing is not just rumour-surely...?

PS-hopefully-he'll be at the BET's looking great-doing something amazing-and i think/hope the tee's start arriving any day now.....
