Because, I've never truly figured out what makes an "anti-Prince" persona come to a site that is pretty much black and white saying that we are an "independent and unofficial Prince fan community site"! Yet... they hate Prince. 
I think it's the whole "better than thou" mentality, or they're just bored. I agree Anx, I'd never sign on to a site of an artist I could care less about, regardless of the exciting message boards. My  i think a lot of the people talking the loudest variety of smack about prince on this site are former uber-fams who got too many purple beatdowns over the years, so they figure since sour grapes are purple too, this is just as good a place as any to vent their spleen. we totally need a Battered Prince Fam Syndrome forum on the org, it would make the world a better place.  Man tell me about it! I really think that something like that should exist on the org. I mean why not? I'm not a fan of "old Prince". I'm not a fan of "new Prince". I'm just a fan of Prince. Simple as that | |

I used to be more into Prince back when I joined. Then I discovered other stuff and started hanging primarily at Music:Non-Prince. I still enjoy Prince's earlier output, and some select newer recordings, but I rarely listen to any of his music, cause I have a whole lot of other music to listen to and discover. I still occasionally post in Prince:Music & More, but I mainly stick to Non-Prince and GD. One of the reasons for doing so, is that Music & More is full of fucking crazy people  It is not known why FuNkeNsteiN capitalizes his name as he does, though some speculate sunlight deficiency caused by the most pimpified white guy afro in Nordic history.

I don't get why anyone would join this place not to talk about Prince. For someone who just started listening to him, buying his music and getting to know him, this place is like a Godsend. Kinda like another website that had a lot of "media" in one place, thankfully that place was around if only for the first few months I was here 
It wasn't so much about having to do less searching/Googling... it was about going to a wonderful place where you discuss AND get feedback on Prince (and yeah, any other artist on this particular set of boards  ).
I say this place literally got me started and helped to get where I am. Thanks to all the people who've shared my central idea of Prince (the musical genius who dedicated his life to the crafting of his art) and advised me on which albums to get. They told me not to stop at my original goal and I'm glad I made a few exceptions since my collection wouldn't have been the same w/o them. Now I have all the albums I need [and no, I didn't get ALL of them in this one year... I have like 20  ]
at least until Prince decides to release something new 
The discussion on the boards isn't quite as good as it was when I first came here, but it was where I learned so much about Prince from other people. The people are my #1 source of info on Prince because they've known him longer than I have and they've heard the music, so they know what they're talking about. What a great place to write as much as I want and get feedback on my thoughts. But for thoughts maybe too big even for this place, that's what my blog is 4 and I've had that for almost a year.  Cheers 2 this place for helping me get my start on this journey of discovering Prince's gift of music. had 2 run away... pride was 2 strong. It started raining, baby, the birds were gone | |

here is a question i donate to the cause.
prince has a small mole somewhere on his body. is it: 1. behind his knee? 2. under his left nipple? or 3. on his right arm? well? 
ha! it was a trick question. the mole in question is on his left cheekbone! a test like this should help weed out the ineligibles Yep. And as any real Prince fan know, he's also had a few beavers on his face too. | |

Speaking personally, I like Prince.
Currently, as more of a live performer than a recording artist. I'm not interested in who his next potential wife might be, what his best hairstyle was or which clothing makes his butt look best and the like which is why I very rarely visit Prince: Music and More . Also, there's very little tolerance for serious criticism of his music there. But the main reason is that he's only a very small fraction of the music I listen to. There's too much music out there (styles & artists) to atrophy on one thing. Just not an all Prince all the time type music person. tA  Tribal Disorder

I first joined for all the Prince news and threads, but I can only talk about those old albums so much so I hardly post in the Prince: Music & More forum anymore.
