I have noticed alot of threads/topics that do not have anything to do with P.org or Prince/music is getting deleted. Sign...I do not think GD will be opening up ANYTIME soon, looks like this is REALLY turning into a Prince website and as boring as NPGMC website.

Who cares?

great..all this site needs is another smart ass...have you posted anything constructive or positive?

LeGrind said:

actually, schmuck, it would be safe to assume nearly all the people who frequent this site care as it affects the range of discussions that will be permitted. the better question would be "who gives a fuck about what you have to say?" I think your suspected answer of "no one" in regards to your question is a more fitting answer to this one.

i'm with bill , who cares??

This site is called Prince.org. Don't you get it?? It's to discuss Prince, not MJ or Kylie or other such drivel. If you want to talk about other things, go to another site. I come here to see what's new in the world of Prince, not to read about other musicians. Granted, I do enjoy when another musician that has some connection to Prince is dicussed, but I really don't want to read about MJ when I can see his unhuman face all over the news all the time. Do you people have any idea what a great site this is?? There are not too many like this where you can find out so much about one person. Maybe some of you need to spend a little less time here and perhaps you might appreciate it more.

As if you're some kind of authority on P Org, oceana? As if I'd actually care about anything you have to say about anything? You are the only person I really can't stand on this site--a total of about 3 people like you here, and they're all identities you probably made up to talk to!

Go away...

Considering the things that are discussed without a General Discussion forum I shudder to think what the topics would be like with one.

Fair enough. But this is a fan site. Think of how many people visit here. Think of how many friends we have here. Think about how many different things aside from Prince we want to discuss (within reason) here.

A site with 700+ people on aren't all going to go to a different site just to talk about stuff because it doesn't have anything to do with Prince if they can talk about here will they? Because the people they want to talk about it to are here.

I agree there is a line to be drawn. Be it accross ridicule or maybe sad bickering that you get in some threads. I respect Ben's regulations but he has to remember what he has created here. It isn't just a site where Prince events are announced and people talk about them. He's created a haven where people who think and feel similar about the same artist can join together and express themselves and share experiences with one another while having a laugh.

I just feel that the GD forum was an important part of that bond and that is was broken too abruptly and with a state of mind that is unfairly punishing the the other forums.

I'm one for a light policing of the site. But right now it feels like we're under martial law.

1. The range of discussions has always been limited by the Moderators through the Terms of Service by which you agreed to abide when you joined (and which some people regularly and knowingly flout).

2. In several instances in the last 24 hours, I have seen threads removed where the contributor had no intention of starting a discussion. Instead, they started a forum thread where they explicitly stated that the content was not posted for discussion. The content was not 'news', it was not Prince-related, and it was not related to any of the discussion forums which the Moderators make available for posting. Deleting these threads seemed a very reasonable action.

3. Whilst I agree that some people do care about the range of discussions, some people also care about the quality of discussion.

4. I see no evidence currently that 'nearly all the people who frequent this site' care about the return of the General Discussion forum. If they did, then they would post a little more responsibly in the other forums presently available, and certainly avoid:

a. posting meaningless drivel
b. using terms which would obviously be offensive to some people

Such actvity gives no encouragement to the Moderators to re-open a forum where people have posted irresponsibly in the past.

Im getting tired of MJ post.

In my personal opinion the GD should be open up for all types
of discussion from politics and all the way to p*%sy farts
and how white people are racist towards larry G since he told prince about the truth. Sometimes i will admit here that some post i have ran across in the past few months should belong
in it's proper discussion forum.i can see how it can get
frustrating reading MJ post in the general prince discussion
area.or forsome reading my post about How white people are racist toward's larry G for being JW.Those post need to be left in the GD section no where els. princeFANATICS/FAMS need to chill out & try not be so sensitive. Ben come on GD forum never killed know one or i dout it never reduced any one to tears

I never claim to have authority but it only takes common sense to see GD is not coming up soon. I know I am the only one who you do not like and anotherhole is just another hole do you think I really care? NOT!!! I am STILL here and damn woman you have been harassing me and insulting me for the longest time.. Go look at your post DO YOU SEE ME BEHIND YOU following you the way you do me, You perverted female stalker... This thread had NOTHING TO DO WITH YOU and you come in here insulting me AGAIN. I love it...CONTROL! Wow I am even getting a little high with the Idea that such a "smart" woman but yet so weak when it comes to me. I only have one identity in here. I KNOW I have more friends than you... FRIENDS! NOT two face back stabbers. Like you!

Oceana on Netiquette is a lot like...

Jerry Springer on tactfulness.
Mike Tyson on non-confrontational Problem Solving.
Michaal Jackson on machismo.
Jerry Falwell on fingerpointing.
George Bush on intelligence of the non-spying kind.
Will Smith on modesty.
Marlon Brando on dieting.
The Pope on sermonizing.
Dick Cheney on preventing baldness.

Aerogram said:

Aerohead, Shut up. I can see why they are deleting just ABOUT THREAD you post. Talk about making sense.. I dont care you silly followers I mean who are you if you dont hate OCEANA... You can never be a part of the "IN" group if you show any sign you like her. You damn woman you are a two face yourself!! I remember you USE to be respected in here but damn your threads are like the first do go. What does that tell you!? And thanks for mentioning my Republican friends, Bush and Cheney! AND YES I KNOW I WILL GET SHIT now for being a republican and a proud one at that! Bring in on sucka's!!! LOL!

oceana said:

Honey, it's me... It's ok to admit you are addicted to provocation.

kisscamille said:

BUT,

The NPGMC website has TONS of tuff regarding current events, cryptic questions and info about other musicians. That's supposed to be THE Prince website; and THEY'RE sending ME questions about God, religion and "truth". Talk about "drivel"...One man's drivel is another man's truth.

OK for them, OK for us I think.

Oceana,
Babe why do you come to the threads? Go back to the chat where most of us treat you with respect!!!

I once really REALLY DISLIKED Oceana because of something rude she sent me, but can't hold it against her. God has put me on this earth to love all my sisters and brothers and be learning tool for them. Over the past months Oceana has changed many of hers views and I'm proud of her. It's a very long process and I Know that it won't happen over night.

I respect you Oceana and consider you as someone part of the org.

Much Love,
LoLinex

P.S. Learn to forgive others for their mistakes and you will be on your road to happiness!!!

lolinex said:

You are a kind and sweet person LoLi... And we have learned so much not just about each other(s) but we have also learned alot about ourselves... Yes the chat is where I do belong...LOL... we do have lots of fun in there dont we.

oceana said:

oh gag

dumbass said:

I love u u ass

I wonder if GD will be open soon how many people will actually leave P.org if it remains closed down. Really! I am starting to think we are just being led on into thinking it will go up soon.. I feel like Ben is kinda like trying to filter out the place.

oceana said:

yeah, he is. will you please just leave so we can get the GD forum back?

thanks in advance.

If some of you people are so desperate to have a place where you can talk about anything you want, why don't you all chip in five bucks a month and an hour a day of your time and start your own website. It can't be that difficult.

Aaron said:

OK! Whatever you say.

doeineffect said:

Dont get so emotional! We can do that for free on Yahoo.

hopefully gettin rid of the gd forum will get rid of some of the riff rafff around here...i hope
