If Ben Decided to Pull the plug on the org and be done with it, how many of you would have a shit fit?

I'd gouge my eyes out with a purple spoon.

maybe the could do something like spybot does, pay a donation if you want 2, im sure most ppl would

prb said:

But seriously, folks...

Wouldn't paying for the site lead to all sorts of questions regarding impartiality/mod decisions etc. that would be even more complicated and vexed than they are now?

Plus we'd give up the moral high ground when it comes to ragging on P. for charging so much for everything and denying our voice etc.!

Keeping it free is a powerful statement!

good point- things do get crazy around here, and money always complicates things- has been known 2 ruin beautiful friendships

my point was IF they charged a membership, the option should be there, not a fixed fee. lets hope it never comes 2 that
long live the org!

Amen

Teacher said:

Exactly. Mosto f the people I love I'm in contact with outside of here anyway.

2the9s said:

Teacher said:

IAintTheOne said:

heartbreak Moral high ground.

no comprendo

IAintTheOne said:

Me, I totally admit it. This place is like my second home to me. Sure, I can go onto that other website, cough, cough, but it would not be the same.

I'd be depressed for a couple of days, but I'd move on...

I would be saddenned


1) I've made friends on the org. Real friends.

2) I get real "alternative" perspectives offering differing viewpoints to npgmc on Prince news, music, etc. NPGMC always felt like I was listening to the Fox News version of Prince news.

3) Other than my "Beer Enema" thread and an occasional Ass eating thread, my threads are allowed to be posted here. NPMC wouldn't tolerate them. And I've had far less offensive stuff snipped on housequake and other Prince sites.

4) There's something very special about the group of peeps that hang out in the GD forum (I like some of the other forums too). Friendships are formed, genuinely genius posts of such hilarity are posted, that I often spend hours laughing so hard my sides hurt.

5) 75% of the moderators on this site want to sleep with me. (you know exactly who you are).

6) If Ben decides to retire Prince.org, and one day he *will*, I hope he gives us ample notice so we can make arrangements. A few of us are technically savvy enough to setup SOMETHING in it's place.

7) The org ultimately , to me, has become bigger than Prince. It's a community of friends in some cases, a forum for true political discourse and learning, and a place to express oneself artistically. It truly is special. I spend more time on Prince.org than I do surfing porn, on news sites, on blogs, on myspace, and shopping on ebay or amazon combined.

I couldn't agree with you more. I'd be sad, big time.
