Hey Everyone.....
Question????? Why did we all pay $77.00 for the LOTUSFLOWER WEBSITE again??
I am a bit confused. Has PRINCE lost interest in the site???? Does he remember the promises that were made for those who signed up and paid their hard earned cash during a recession??? I remember all to well one particular e-mail that was sent right before registration time and it said," We are well aware of the economic situation that we are all in these days, but the Lotusflower website will be worth the buck." So now we are well into 6 months and so far not too much is happening over at the party. Do you think that we got our $77.00 worth?????
Many that I have personally spoken to feel the way that I do. Please note that I am not being negative because I love PRINCE and his music, but I do not think at this point in time that everyone received $77.00 worth of PRINCE???
Please make your voices heard so just maybe the "POWERS THAT BE" can shed some light at the end of this long dark tunnel. PEACE and B WILD.

The NPG MUSIC CLUB was a very exciting venture that had a lot to offer musically to it's members. It was so cool to come home from work on a FRIDAY NIGHT and find a brand new track posted for download. It was way ahead of any other artists websites. Now Artists like ," U2," and " GOV'T MULE," offer the fans so so much in terms of actual music these days with their websites that it far surpasses the LOTUSFLOWER location. With a VAULT filled with more PRINCE than one will ever hear in a lifetime, why does the site offer so little in terms of music.
HERE IS AN IDEA THAT WOULD BE THE ULTIMATE!!!!!
WOULDN'T IT BE FANTASTIC IF PRINCE WOULD FOR 365 DAYS FOR ONE YEAR OFFER UP A DAILY DOWNLOADABLE SONG FOR ALL OF THE MEMBERS? IT WOULD BE MUCH LIKE WALKING TO YOUR DOORSTEP AND GETTING THE DAILY NEWSPAPER. NOW THAT WOULD BE SOMETHING VERY VERY SPECIAL. IT DOES NOT ALWAYS HAVE TO BE A BRAND NEW SONG....BUT RATHER IT CAN BE A LIVE TRACK OR A REMIX OF A SONG THAT PRINCE PREVIOUSLY RELEASED OR EVEN AN OUTTAKE. NOW THAT IS SOMETHING I THINK THAT THE FANS WOULD LOVE TO EXPERIENCE.

I can seriously feel where your coming from. Funny thing is i haven't even bookmarked the site, even forgot my password!

Isn't this in the wrong forum?

Well..you have your Lotusfu*k3r t-shirt and access to videos from imeem..isn't that enough?






I'm in happy mood today..

I, like everyone else, was expecting a bit more for the money, but P delivered everything he promised. A t-shirt, videos, and 3 albums worth of downloads. If concerts were going on, he said that we would have pre-sale access. That is it, unfortunately. However, the year isn't up. Let's hope we get an extra or 2 before March arrives in 2010.

i forgot my password too, i think. i should try to log in and
see if i still remember it.

but logging in is already infuriating

the Org has countless threads about gripes with the official site/ maybe u wanna join them....i.e. try lotusfol3r forum.

On a side note - read the agreement you signed up for. If that has been breached you might have recourse. I suspect you have been given what was agreed though. You always have the option not to renew next yr

It's cos the woman he's trying to get in2 don't have a Lotusflow3r account. He wants 2 get paid from her, b4 she can get full access. So the ppl whom paid for the access, get shite.

Hence all these releases so she can c them, & when she complains (as u would if ur hearing old song that he wrote for other women), they get taken down.

Come on if u want 2 play a game, make sure it's a new one....

Ive tried several times, but im not permitted access from work... have tried at the library.. but i have to guess at what may be being played on the radio as i cant turn the sound on!.. so im struggling..

If you're really unhappy with the site, you could always dispute the charge with your credit card company and have the money you paid credited back. I was about to do that, and then the Montreaux clips were added, so I thought things were going to change.

Sure, Prince didn't really promise anything, but given the pre-site-launch comments by both Prince and the web designer and the fact that there's been just as much new content made available on other sites for free instead of the official site, you have a legitimate case.

Perhaps if a lot us do this, Prince would take notice when he starts losing money from the site.

Same here, really can`t be bothered to log in and I don`t even remember my password

No worries if you've forgotten your password. Just send an e-mail to Lotusflow3r's top-notch support team, and you'll have your log in info tout de suite. And by "tout de suite", I mean in about 3 months or never.

WHAT! Did We All 4get the NPGMusicClub LifeTime Membership.

Well it seems... like I haven`t missed a thing... even the Ticket Club part is in the depending catagory. When? Where? And How Much... still even if U payd Ur $77 dollors and that never if it means He`s Coming Soon! 2 a place near U


Pt.2 never happend... first mistake of Joining something that has and will change 4 the best or the wrost and still in count of how much is this doggy in the window xsect 2 pay just to be a fan and injoy the Music regardless if it came from the site, Internet, bootleged from Prince back dor from Paisley Park or from a bootleged distubuter.

Does it matter anymore?
[Edited 9/25/09 9:46am]

If anyone wants the name of a class action law firm, I can suggest one. The firm can get Prince to refund some money or update his site. The terms of agreement seem overreaching.

I paid for a lifetime membership on NPGMC, so why do I need to pay again?

I will probobly fork it out though, as I am a loyal admirerer, and havent been k

up with prince for some time, because of the recent changes he's been going

through that I dont care for, but like a true chameleon I know he'll change

again.

Here's the Whois details, the meta tags indicate that the site is for exclusive vids, are they not on Utube?

Mis-selling due to mis-advertising, what my money back. Time to speak to the CC company.

Since you know Prince so well, why don't you ask what is his reason is for pissing on the fans that forked out $77 for 3 albums that could be bought for under $12 with a handful of low quality flash videos.

A very fair question for Mr. Nelson don't ya think?

[He does NOT know Prince. Move on and ignore the would be the best thing - luv4u]

I'm sure I just saw an intergalactic tumbleweed go by...it was purple and bushy....could been Prince's rug LOL

seriously though, so far its a sham....but its not over yet...we have another 5 or 6 months to go....

oh, and I haven't even got my t-shirt yet LOL.....it might come in handy - be the most expensive rag I ever bought.....

I'm guessing he's making us wait...the more we complain the longer he'll hold out...but I am hopeful that he'll eventually give us something worth the $$ we 'gave' him...

bit silly really, but Prince likes to play games...he's in power and he loves it....he might not be so happy when no-one signs up to his next 'venture' though...once bitten twice shy!!

You mean to tell me my NPGMUSICClub membership pasword and id is not good for a LifETiME even though i paid for it? And it is never comming back up? I am still waiting for my New Breed Fanclub newsletters, My next issue of NPG magazine, My Love4Oneanother.com charity updates, and my 1800newfunk.com next cd release party. Jeez not again with lotusflow3r.
