Printabletricky99 said: Who killed it? After this whole debacle wouldn't it be better to rename this site something else? I think the remaining participants might be happier and Prince himself would be. Who evers side u are on in this debate (I'm not on either) I think that u have to admit that the so-called mission of Prince.org appears to be obselete.
It seems that a lot of the people who don't want to call Prince names have decided to remove themselves from the site. What appears to be left are a bunch of unhappy ex-prince fans. If Prince was unhappy with the site to begin with I can only assume he really hates it now. Who would want A site around named after them that seems to be more about putting them down than celebriting them? Is that now the point of its existence? Over the years I have felt that Prince was the "goose that laid the golden egg" eventually the greed and obsessivenes of his fans would turn on him. The man can't seem to age gracefully without the so-called fans harping on what he is not as oppsosed to what he still is. Every move he makes, every song he creates is brutilized by some segment of the fan base. It almost like too many of us saw Prince as some God but when he was revealed as just a very talented human being all this anger is thrust at him. The bitterness and nastiness that is exhibited here is really breathtaking. I'm hoping that many of the extremely negative things said here are said by children. Its hard to believe adults can be so down right vicious and petty.    | |

How is calling Prince vulgar names and posting pictures of him instead of B*TCH and P***y free speech? Would you like to be called that when you have a name? How are hateful attacks on his physical attributes "free speech" when he has no control of them? How is it that people here can go around posting random messages of hate in threads that have nothing to do with the original post?? How are disparaging photoshopped pictures of him "free speech" and I have several other issues... but this should do for now? Please enlighten me? You really have a limited knowledge of free speech is here in America. You need to enlighten yourself. What you described up above is the VERY DEFINITION of what free speech is. DUH!!!

Your question is essentially: How is being able to say whatever you want free speech? I refuse to believe anyone, even on this board, is that dense. No hard feelings. | |

This site allows members to freely state their opinions. Period. That's not going to change. Start with NPG, Paisely Park, 3121. There's a solution to the problem. Prince.org isn't going to change site rules for you, or anyone else, when other members are dismayed, by Prince's disappointing behavior, and express so.. God thank you. People who hate here so much would be better served at 3121 if Prince would just give them forums to post in. And you know damned well, persons who speak ill of him there would have their accounts banned post haste. So everyone's happy. | |

You are right this site has suffered. But nothing more than arrival of the fams when NPGMC shut down.
Until then, it was a living community that discussed good and bad. Then we had the influx of self proclaimed fams that knew fuck all about Prince's music, the only real insight we have into him. That was the day music died. Picture threads started. And all the stupid idolisation threads starteds. If you spoke against him, you were now a hater. That killed the community. The org isn't dead. It just needs the self proclaimed "positives" ie you, to go back to the source. . [Edited 11/16/07 16:44pm] . |

I have praised many of Prince's songs an albums. But it's nice to have a place where if I dislike a song, album, or something he says or does, I can voice that opinion too. It's not about being anti-Prince, but allowing all voices to be heard, even when they profess the kind of stupid lunacy you do.  | |

Obviously you and a couple of other trolls on here lately aren't happy with this site. So instead of the continual name calling and condemnation of this site, why not just go somewhere else where you'll be happier? Why waste so much of your positive energy on all this negativity?

If one goes into the fan gatherings forum or the GD forum, he/she can see this. There are fans, former fans, and non-fans all mixing together and having a great time. It's mostly in this forum that some of the crazies think a monolithic mindset is healthy. So stupid | |

So can I ask, why would you chose to hang around a site that you view so badly that you think it should be called the Anti-prince.org? . |

Why differentiate a FAN from FAM?? Why should I have a degree in "Prince" to enjoy his music? Why can't I enjoy his music if I was privvy to only one song and know fcuk all about him? I am an independent thinker and don't follow Prince blindly, but I would like to be called a FAM because that is what he calls his fans. What is this purple Kool-aid shit?? Prince is NOT perfect but don't you think he has SOME rights?? | |

Because a fan has respect for the output of an artist they do not know or have never met. Good and bad. A Fam proclaims to know what is right and wrong and how we should all feel about Prince. Haters...if you don't agree. . |

wow, the loads of bolox are really coming out now, without mentioning names, some orgers really know how to come out with aload of shite, and i dont mean the crazies and other lunatics that come on here, some of them are actually very humourous, but there a few a few twisted one minded individuals here, but i wont mention names
<-----wants to badly but i wont, but, I will, put one thing straight..... ah, why fucking bother, will just end an dumb, mindless reply anyway
I always wondered why the GD forum has the most threads here, I understand now  If it were not for insanity, I would be sane.
