tricky99 said: Wow I'm one of the biggest Prince supporters on this site but damn why is the brotha so damned petty. They say that genuis and insanity are closely tied sometimes and maybe Prince straddles this line.
Why can't he obsess about giving us all the music past, present, and future instead of obsessing about what a small bunch of fans do on websites dedicated to him? Its just not healthy behavior. None of us can control the world not even some one as talented as Prince. Why he can't just sit back and let people love him is so tragic. Well maybe without all his issues we would have never gotten all the great music who knows. Its just sad that he wastes so much good will fighting over small things. Control freak indeed.

Look up "cock" in the dictionary and you'll see a pic of P next to it!
Why the hell would anyone get so eaten up by a website which, let's face it, only reasonably hardcore fans are going to see and use. Also, who in their right mind would guess from any banner that HQ could use that the site is "official"?? P needs to get some good common sense advice from someone (since he obviously has none himself and seemingly get none from his buddies) before he starts to alienate his fanbase. Anyway, in protest against his royal highness' shortsightedness i'm gonna get the new albums from [P2P site snip - luv4u] and stuff his website!  | |

And don't fall back on the old "You should have burned a copy!" rhetoric. Nowhere did PRINCE advise us to do that, and nowhere did Prince ever intimate the music we bought from him would only be temporarily available to us.Prince screwed up there, and that makes the investment in his site an unfair value. so prince should have made a notice on his site just 4 u cause u common sense didn't occur 2 u 2 burn a copy 4 ur own personal use?  i'm trying 2 understand that one, so i guess u were going 2 lug ur computer everywhere u went because u downloaded a file and xpected it 2 b there 4 the rest of ur computer's life? oooookkkkkLMAO!

I'm really surprised to read this from you.

Why couldn't they have put those banners up top there? Not true. There was a banner at the left of the site above the poll too. We couldn't use it on top of the site because we weren't allowed (we are not the lotusflow3r site itself) and because we want to have the name Housequake on top of the page. is that ur mod pride being hurt over there? cam speaks the truth as have others about the way things have been at HQ 4 a long time man, he has such an amazing body of music that it's sad to see him constrict it down to the basics. he's too talented for the lineup he's doing. estelle 81 | |

Oh come on, people! Did anyone really think Prince has changed? If so, I've got an island I want to sell you.
For all the bitching and the whining I'm seeing, all of you are going to flock to his new site whenever, if ever, it opens and he's going to fuck you all over again! Me personally, I got tired of getting fucked, so I quit opening my legs! It actually felt good to see all of you, all up in arms with anxiety and anticipation of the next crumb Prince is going to throw, without giving a damn myself! I've paid the price of being a Prince fan and now I'm done. Prince will never get another dime from me and that's just the way it is. Maybe just maybe, when enough people get tired of his shit and join me, then he'll change but as long as y'all keep taking his shit, he's going to keep doing his shit and that just the way it is too! I knew from the start that I loved you with all my heart. | |

benni said: 4bjb said: Very well said. this is exactly how I feel. aaron needs to stop doing what the hell he wants and thinking cuz he is aaron/hq he is going to get away with it. Maybe aaron will get another hobby!!! good riddens aaron.
I don't feel that way at all 4bjb. Aaron was a big Prince fan who created a community for other fans to go to. Prince, who is very protective of his image, has very specific things he wants released and not released. While Aaron's not a mind reader, knowing how conscientious Prince is of his image, one should always be aware of what they allow to be posted on a fan site. I'm actually sorry to see HQ go, though I never posted there. When you post to an online community, you develop relationships with the ppl there, friendships. And there are a lot of ppl there that have developed those relationships with each other. It does serve a purpose because it brings people together who have, as a common theme, the enjoyment of someone's music. At least that's what it should do. Back when L4OA was still open, I developed some very good friendships that I still have and am very close to some of them and have met a few of them. It stopped being about Prince, and became about the interactions and relationships between the people that were there. And I think ultimately that's what a fan site should be about. Yes, the common theme between those posting at HQ and here is that we all enjoy Prince's music (for the most part), but ultimately it's about bringing people together who have that commonality, who have that same love for the music. The problem comes in with fan sites when all it is focused upon is the common theme, and not about developing those relationships with other like-minded people. Because if you don't find other areas of commonality, or even where you may differ, you never move beyond the surface, and issues like this arise. But then again, what do I know? I may be way off the mark as I tend to stay in P&R because I enjoy reading about and discussing God. But I do read the other forums from time to time even if I don't post.
I am sorry to see HQ go. It is a loss to those that posted there. I agree with this entire post! I posted more frequenty on HQ than I did here simply because most of the friends I made on NPGMC before it closed down were a part of that Prince fan website. If HQ is really closed for good, it will be unfortunate because there were some good threads and articles posted there. Unfortunately the feud between Prince's crew and HQ has heated up once again because of a banner. Of course it was Aaron's decision to close the site and I understand completely why Aaron felt the need to do so. On the other hand, I can also understand why he was asked to remove the banner. At first glance, I thought it was an "official" banner given to HQ by Prince - the banner very closely resembles the imagery on the lotusflow3r website. I was surprised to find out that it was actualy a fan made "lotusflow3r website inspired" banner instead.It was only a matter of time that issues would arise, especially since there was an altered version of Prince's trademarked symbol included in the image. HQ moderators and Aaron already know how Prince is when it comes to imagery. Prince has an obsession with protecting his image "and it's likeness" from being used without his permission. Most of us went through this before with the whole PFU initiative, so we all know how difficult it is for Prince to be lenient when it comes to this subject. Being a freelance graphic artist and web designer myself, I can understand how frustrating it is to deal with the fine line of expressing myself artistically and not breaking any copyright/trademark laws in the process. In this circumstance, the symbol that is used in the banner is trademarked. Although it's altered, anyone who is a Prince fan can tell that it's Prince's symbol with flower petals placed on it. Although the banner is a beautiful rendition of the lotusflow3r website it was way too obvious a representation of "its likeness" for Prince and his crew to ignore. Hopefully Aaron will open the site back up, but if he doesn't I'm thankfull for the memorable threads, articles, and pics I have received throughout the years being an HQ member. follow me on twitter - Lovenharmony1 aka @DAPfan2c | |

Thanks Gav for the update. I do hope Aaron will reconsider. To those of you Orgers acting all superior saying HQ/Aaron deserved this, I would say "Karma's a bitch." Don't think the Org is immune. In fact, if HQ stays closed that means more time for Prince to focus on what he dislikes about the Org, right? You think because it doesn't have a "Prince" banner it's safe? Yeah right. I'm sure Prince is not amused by some of the wacky threads allowed to fester in Music & More. co sign your entire post  Which is why the crazies in M&M need to be handled with force. | |

I loved it when I joined it but overtime, it became a burden but my love for Prince and his music trumped any reason for me to stop going to HQ. Hell, I don't even like the org that much but like with HQ, P and his music keep me coming here. I wouldn't waste time on a site for someone who I didn't like, unlike many others around here do regularly. Oops did I say that out loud? Oh yeah I did! Plus I do have friends over there but luckily, they are for the most part on other sites like this one or they live here in NYC so I'm not crying about this.
For the 2nd part, I had no problem with JB, SS or whoever else was up there for a banner. It was cool and it was P-related as they were his influences. That's just me on that one. 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 | |
