I called archway & talked to one of the account managers & they said the problem was 3 crashed servers . Also the man said that the NPG was trying to get EVERYTHING back up . They are trying to recover lost data from the 2002 membership . So this should give some of U some long awaited hope & a long over do " F U " to the scoffers & whiners among us . Remember what I said in my other thread , Working 2gether , ? well this is what I meant . Instead of speculation & complaining we should find out what really is going on .

Well I'm now convinced because some poster I've never heard of says its so.

yeah blame us for 'speculating' and god forbid the NPGMC itself should tell us what's happening!

I cant see how that could be true when they were still able to post the CNOTE trax and you can still access the retail site (funny that) via the www.npgmusicclub.com/members link.

Sounds like youve been done up like a kippa my friend.

The big "F.U." is when they do re-launch and only a fraction of the people sign up. A server crashing does not take 4-5 months to repair. Any reputable web host would also keep a tape backup on a regular basis in the event of a crash, from which it could be restored in a matter of days if not hours. And why is it the members responsibility to have to hunt down archways email addresses and ask them individually WTF is going on when NPGMC could just have easily shot everyone an email or posted it on their site? People pay money, they're customers. They already did "the work".

what a pathethic little soul u r...that people should dare complain about poor service, that they should speculate when the npgmc customer 'service' team do all they can 2 encourage it.

crawl out of prince's backside for all our sakes...

I've got my purple rain coat on so fire away at will.

Maybe, this might be correct. Remember when everyone was trying to order the calendar and it required new or old passwords to access the site.

Maybe that's way gage is no-longer involved.

Maybe, we should just wait and see what happens.


Maybe NPGMC should have emailed all the members to let them know what was going on. (however if there were server problems and they couldn't actually get the database for 2002 members wouldn't there be more hate mail sent because only certain people were emailed)

I'm just waitin' like everyone one else to see what happens next.

Okay, flame away!!!

One way or another new Prince music will come sooner or later.

Hehheh, there was a brand of condoms sold a few years ago called "Purple Rain Coat". Wanna order a pizza and fuck?

It is my understanding that, since the 2002 membership ended on December 31st, there are no longer any members left and NPGMC doesn't owe anybody any explanations. I personally have accepted that fact that they don't care enough to let us know anything.

you are a stalker fanatic, darling. i would be happy if the npgmc was no more. no nothing could work for prince if his mind is so fucked up these days...

It seems to me that right now there are more important things going on than the fate of the fucking music club.

Prince does what Prince wants - always has, probably always will - so why don't we all just do what we've ALWAYS done and wait for HIM to make up his mind?
