Why don't I remember anything about this big dramatic event back in the spring of 2008 that everyone is alluding to?

Because it only affected about half a dozen famtards.

Probably because only the people who brought it up in this thread were involved.

I felt the same way the other day when this subject was first brought up...
Now that I've been reminded, I do remember this BS...
I remember ignoring it because I didn't give a shit!
Still don't.

I wish my name would not be brought up in any of this. Since it has....

Straight up, if HQ really does not come back, and it looks like it will not unfortunately, you guys who say you don't miss it, actually will. It provides/provided a pleathura of information. It was the ying n yang of everything.

Aside from some stupid ass drama in March/April 2008 that I had with them, I have had nothing but respect n Love for them. Seriously. You guys do not understand how much hard work and time goes into things like that.

Plain and simple, I don't mind people talking trash about me (been happening since I was popped out the hole in all honesty) what I do mind is lies and there has been too many of those. I tried to deal with one person directly and that got no where. So instead, I have been silent. Why? Because I feel in my heart, I did nothing wrong. When you feel you have truth on your side, you can say nothing.

Regardless, I considered a lot of these people who kind of went after me my friends before all of this. Whenever I would go to something and know that mods would be there, I would always come with a gift, wether it was an org mod or an HQ mod. I felt a kinship with them. Honestly. When I hugged Dansa/seventynine on 7-7-7, it meant something to me. Same as when I met Anxiety and CarrieMPLS, it was all something we had in common. A bond. I wish I could have met more but didn't.

Judgment was passed on me without anything being said. Perhaps if it was true, I would have something to be ashamed of. But it is not, so I don't.

I love the org too but I had a run in a long time ago n that was squashed. I miss HQ and the way you could see to the left of you what new topics were going on. I miss the layout. I miss HQ. Period.

But I will say, I very much enjoyed meeting you in 2007 and still think it was very thoughtful of you to bring me a gift.

Wow, you really have issues don't you ?

Just look how many times you've posted on this thread !

Incidentally, if HQ frustrated you so much, why did you post on there so much ? Also, did you not enter their competitions out of protest too or did that little attraction make you forget your all important morals ?

Oh geez... I can't get away from this 'housequake.com' crap to save my life.

It was a cool site for the sake of most of its members. But a few moderators had issues which were only apparent to anyone who choose to notice. If situations didn't effect many directly... they simply didn't notice. But there has been plenty of mistreatment towards members perpetuated by some of the mods. Not all... but some.

I can't shed one tear for a site which banned me for saying ONE negative remark in my own personal blog about a couple of mods with personal vendettas towards me. I got banned even though I never broke one rule on housequake. I choose to respect the site and vented my frustrations on my own blog... but I didn't realize the entire internet fell under the moderators jurisdiction. Even after wards... my character and personal space was invaded repeatedly and negatively critiqued even though I had no opportunity to defend myself. i'm sure many will recall the exceptionally long debate on my banning. I still can't thank my friends enough and also other members of housequake who followed what happened and came to my character's defense, when I was prevented from doing so myself.

My crimes were I didn't back down to internet bullies. I simply did not back down whether I was for the moderators view (as I vigorously argued on their behalf during the PFU thing) or against it (The hip/ J7 witch hunt incident). I was always respectful in any thread or debate I was a part of. And I tried to resolve issues I had in PM... including the misunderstanding for which they 'gang' attacked me on based on something some one else said... I never said to begin with. My PMs were ignored.. they continued to attack... i got pissed and vented on my own personal blog... I got banned.

I've seen other members treated harshly by certain moderators... being ridiculed about their weight... invading their privacy.. telling members to fuck off... and many more abuses of authority. So yeah... it was a good site for some... but for others.... ehhh.. fuck it.. Its gone.

I entered a contest and I won the ticket on um, let me see, the org! That's why I'm thankful to the prince.org cause I got to see my favorite musician in my home city and I brought my sister Funkteer with me and we had the best time! Thank you Prince and prince.org. I still have great memories from that night. Did you win a ticket to the show and did you win it on HQ?

My morals probably helped me win the tickets too.

For the millionth fucking time, I said I went there because I am a fucking Prince fan and I will go where there is discussion on Prince.

Wow, really? I am sorry to read this happened to you because you are one of the positive folks on this site.

The incident with jseven ultimately turned me off to HQ forever. J has been nothing but a good, reliable source of information (and a great guy in real life) and to try to soil his good name was truly fucked up.

What a great night that was. Thank you Prince and Prince.org for making it happen for us. I just loved re-reading your review of that night Cam. Thanks so much for taking me. I stood right in front of Prince for 4 hours of pure magic. Thank you freakyfeet for reminding us what it is all about.

BTW.... I didn't delude myself for one second to think that the moderators on HQ who show such obvious love for me, would ever let me win the contest. I am blessed that I have Cameron as my best friend, and if that didn't get me in, my cash would have.

Really?!?
Rolling Eyes in Disbelief, huh?
Why? Cuz only the handful of people personally involved care about this "issue"?
Honestly, I don't see why this little side drama doesn't just have it's own little thread, and just leave this one for those that wish to discuss the closing of HQ. That is the title of the thread after all, and I'm pretty sure the HQ closing is not related to the events being discussed...

I can also ask you or anyone else here why would you go to a fansite for someone you don't even like as a person? Why go to a fansite for someone who you think hasn't done a good album since Ronald Regan was the president? Doesn't matter you're here, I'm here and I was there until the end. Period.

Did little didums have a temper tantrum there ?

In discussing HQ's closing... people are going to comment on their experiences there and why they will or will not miss the site. For some members... they never had any bad experiences and went about there experience in bliss, unaware of some things which were gong on. As long as they got their Prince fix on and got a chance to interact with their friends... they were cool. Others simply couldn't care less about the events which happened which made a lot of their experiences possible and helped to define policy and protocol while bringing news abd events concerning Prince to the fan community first. These are the people who actually get on my nerves most because they act as if the shit don't matter... but yet they think things will just fall in thier laps with out the efforts of moderators and consciously active members looking out for them. and then there are members who have had bad experiences and in the sites closing are compelled to voice their thoughts one last time.

So in the midst of people talking about why they miss HQ and giving testimony about their good experiences... you are going to get people discussing their bad experiences and why they won't miss it. And since you said you ignored this stuff because you didn't give a shit then...why not continue to ignore it now?

I figured if I couldn't beat you, I would join you, my fellow "famtards" (not my word)

Goon squad!
