The Org kicks a$$. I love it here!

we all grow up, move away from home....but home is home. the org is home to many of us. From PPML to now....its just home. Home sometimes gets on your nerves, reminds you why you moved but its home.


Org is home. Thanks Ben

I guess we just don't live, breathe, eat, sleep Prince like I suspect some of those folks do. We get a lot more posts than HQ (or any other Prince fan message board) does, and just moderating the massive number of posts is a lot of work for the *volunteer* moderators. Perhaps the funds raised by HQ's requests for donations helps encourage them to create cool stuff for the users. I kind of doubt it, because the amount of work it takes to run a decent site is SO great, a few bucks here and there definitely doesn't make a lot of difference. And to be clear, I don't think the donations are a bad thing, I even donated to them myself; I just won't ever do it here, for various reasons.

I guess also, I don't personally put the effort into making the org more "fancy", spending time to make videos etc., because I'm just not that into Prince anymore. I like his music and always will, but I'm not the huge fan I once was. I stopped collecting stuff, I don't listen to the new stuff terribly much either. He's still da man, but I'm not the same fan. Basically, any "spare" time I have from my pretty intense job, I spend with my wife and kid, or my side projects, or just relaxing--the org is pretty low on the priority list, I'm afraid. If the tireless moderators weren't here, I don't honestly know if the site would even exist anymore. I've been doing this for nearly 10 years, starting with the PPML. That's a long time. Prince has changed. I've changed. The attitude of a lot of fans has changed. More than anything, priorities have changed. And that's reflected in the site, no doubt.
