imnotsayinthisjust2bnasty said:

Hey, guess what? I've stopped going there because of shit like this. Frankjotzo said it best: "Keep buying the music, keep going to the shows. Fuck the NPGMC".

... Mind you, I wonder what Frankie boy'll make of the latest ticket price bullshit?

Bravo, bravo!!

It's not fair though, I want to get banned too!

ok, so im new 2 the npgmc (now wishing i hadn't wasted the $$$) - however can ne1 tell me how 2 get 2 these forums u speak of!

they cant even take 'constructive' criticism.

its fucked & they know it.

how the fuck can you ban paying customers? Madness. What did you say though, it musta been a problem...

In the main foyer, take the bottom left stairway, then the left hand door way on the next screen.

In this room hover over the middle panel "You Tell Us", then click that to get the forums. (Yes, it is ridiculously bad navigation).

Bring a tissue, because you'll be crying with laughter.

Amazing how Prince becomes a JW, and so do his fans

I just read NuPwrSoul's thread in the "U Tell Us" forum: "this is what yall asked for". I gotta say... I agree.

I couldn't find NuPwrSoul's thread, maybe it was deleted. It seems like if the NPGMC is going to ban someone, then they might want to eliminate whatever remarks they didn't like. I have gone back to find my posts gone, now I hesitate to write anything. It was nice that they at least offered communication thru the board administrator or webmaster. Hopefully these sources are available, fair and capable of effective communication with regard to the subject matter. ? Please let us know how it goes!

Regardless of what NuPwrSoul wrote, I think banning is a cruel and unusual punishment in a civilized society. We are given free will to choose our way and beliefs. So it seems like those who try to force someone's thoughts or actions thru manipulation are saying that they know better than anyone and have the right to play God. Discussion can bring information and light to a situation, banning confines, limits and restricts knowledge.

Imnotsayinthisjust2bnasty rocks!

woke up this mornin' and yep, still banned...

ian said:

what i wrote is posted somewhere here on the org. it was a short note which contained no curses. it was deleted, so i posted th exact same note. then i was banned. crappy.

to save you the trouble of searching (yeah, right, as if you would've...)

i have always, deep down inside, thought that prince was different. i thought that it wasn't really about money with him. obviously to a degree, but not in general. i thought it was something deeper. i thought prince had something to say about God.

i really feel let down.

the tickets prices for aussies are ludicrous. the fact that he's using clear channel bothered me just a little, but this is overwhelming. $675.00 per ticket for the opportunity to meet prince. that is the greediest thing i've ever heard of him doing.

what would jesus do? as cliche, or corny, as that sounds...it's important for prince to remember. he claims to be a witness for God. i just don't see this as fact when he takes full advantage of a large group of people who see him as a personal icon.

i don't know what else to say. i'm just so disappointed with him. delete this if you will, but it won't change the fact that i feel this way. it will only help perpetuate the delusions that prince apparently has already.

Anyone else having trouble getting into the forums?

All I keep getting is this:

phpBB : Critical Error

Error creating new session

DEBUG MODE

SQL Error : 1401 ORA-01401: inserted value too large for column

And a bunch of other shit...

I had to use Internet Explorer to get into UTELLUs.

that place is a disaster area...

i am tellign you... we need an org slogan and it should be:

"Welcome to the org! OUR smiles aren't painted on"

or something like that.

I disagree. It is their website, they pay for it and provide it - so they can do what they want with it. They aren't obliged to publish your opinions regardless of what they are - they have the choice to remove content etc. The only real way to ensure true freedom of expression online is to run your own site. When you are on someone else's site - such as NPGMC - you gotta respect their rules.

Of course though, paying $25 for the priviledge gives you a bit more right to complain when you don't like the way things are... as paying customers, your opinions of the service matter.

imnotsayinthisjust2bnasty said:

Hmm well personally I don't think that post merits banning someone, temporarily or otherwise. But, it is their site so... they gotta do as they see fit I suppose.

Okay, now two of my friends have been banned. Maybe I oughta get a new set of friends.

They're a bunch of assholes over there. It's not worth stressing over. I stopped posting on their forums back in August, because half the time the threads I was following were getting deleted for no good reason. You're constantly getting cut off mid-conversation with someone.

If they wanna be dicks to people, fine. They're only shooting themselves in the foot. It's our support that pays their salaries, and theyre driving people away in droves. Word of mouth goes a long way.

The only reason Prince has had to hike his pricing up in one way or another over the years is to compensate for the rest of us who have said "enough is enough"

When I checked U Tell Us this morning, the PPs taken a case of Fleet Enemas to the place and it was cleaner than a high class hooker's patootie. I gotta hand it to the moderators over there, they're efficient at locking and deleting...

U Tell Us? We Delete U.

Anxiety said:

it's a damn shame... but yeah, it's p's site, he can do what he wanna...

I can see where they're coming from though. If this were my site I'd probably delete half of you.
