According to the LF site terms:




An e-mail to that address should go unread and unanswered, but that in combination with notification your CC company of the impending charge and to deny it should keep the screwing over to a minimum when it is time for renewals.

We are working on getting all of you updates to the "Help thread" posted up in this forum. It is just moving slower that we would like, but we ARE working on it. I'll post updates if and when I can get them.

If automatic renewal is selected? I don't remember seeing such an option.

I don't recall one either and this is the current sign up page...

That doesn't matter to me. I wouldn't trust ANYTHING regarding that site.

I already changed my info so I'm not worried anymore.

The best advice is to notify your credit card company and let them handle it from their end.

I also wouldn't wait until after the charge has been made, either! It's far easier to get your credit company to not pay someone than it is to get them to refund your money, after the fact.

It's a shame that it's come to this, really. I can still remember my excitement back in March over what this site "could" be.

This is the email I just sent them.....

Hi there,
I'm not sure if my membership will automatically be carried on for a further year in March but I would like it to be stopped once the 12 months is up please. I would like to add that I am very disappointed at the lack of updates over the past year and hope there's more music to come in the final months. The site is great but there has been barely any changes made to the site in the whole year, it could have been so much better!

Prince is the greatest musician in the whole world to me but I wish he would care a bit more about his fans
$77 is a lot of money for 20 Prince mp3's & a t shirt..

Kind Regards,

An Experience I will NEVER forget

How did you manage to change your CC info? I tried this but the site wouldn't accept the changes. I've sent them a cancellation email but like everybody else I've had no reply.

I changed the credit card number and cvn number to all 7's....it did the trick.

I'm pretty sure I did not select automatic renewal upon joining. I remember contemplating it then opting against it, thinking I would rejoin "manually" so to speak if a Prince site continued in any future incarnation.

Even so do people really think Prince's web team would continue to charge credit cards automatically for the current site. It really is so dead... I can't even imagine that there is anyone working on even the future membership side. Surely it's just going to fizzle out...

I tried that but it wouldn't let me....

pacey68 said:

try what Vendetta1 posted and change your cc numbers to these 1234 5678 8901 2345 and the cvn numbers to 123 this worked for me

Thank you vero, i just did that and all is at peace.

It worked... thanks!

It's a sad thread, but another one that's had to amend details to save money.
I'm 70% positive we'll get something else before March, but I'm afriad no matter what it is, I won't be signing up for year two after this fiasco.

$77 for a t-shirt.

When will people learn?

Prince is not good at managing his own business like this.

The reason? He gets paranoid and fires people, and either forgets to replace them or puts someone who is incompetent to run them.

He has done this for years.

From his fanzines (Controversy), to his 900 line, to now the internet.

Here is the BBB bureau.

File a report if your having problems.

I too respect Prince as a musician but am tired of hearing people like yourselves not getting your moneys worth. You would think after all these years Prince would have known how to manage this type of business.

He has tons of unreleased songs that are out there floating around, and he could easily throw us a bone and release them by himself (with better quality), but no, he instead does nothing.

It may be a good time for Prince to start thinking about releasing these songs as look what is happening with MJ. He passed away and the record companies are going through his vault. You don't think whoever controls Prince's estate will do the same thing? Prince should release the music now on his own terms rather than let someone else do it.

Crystal Ball has been so far his greatest attempt to release material that is just sitting around collecting dust. Fans loved this. NPG was decent sometimes, now why can't you do this on the lotusflow3r website?

I don't get it.

eggy said:

Well, a true fanatic would've been 77.7% positive.

I'd seriously laugh my ass off if Prince put up a whole bunch of unreleased songs the day after everybody's memberships expired.

Pity y'all have to resort to that. This should be the most happening forum on the Org.

Militant said:

this is the reason i may just let in renew itself, i couldn't forgive myself if i cancelled and then it happened!

well

how long after these new exclusive tracks appear for free.....? the 3 albums were easily available via torrents 2 days after Lotus went live

so.....we don't need dollars-we need patience from now on

PS

and-other than new stuff he's working on-you really think there's that much if any stuff left we haven't heard now

thats worth hearing anyway

polkadotbliss said:

Of course there is, wouldn't you like finished proper versions of Moonbeam, Witness, Dreams, Wonderful Ass etc, i know i would.

bigd74 said:

and, Prince knows you would, too. That's the carrot he dangles before his fans whenever unveils one of these online ventures. But he never seems to deliver.
