MJ overkill

Could we please resume the use of a catch-all MJ thread in the non-P forum? The crazed MJ fans appear to be on the warpath again.

i agree lol

Me too. They need to go to the sites for those people and have their fun there. I could care less that it's the non-prince section, it's still way too much of all of that shit.
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

Because they are part of the big 3 (prince of course being one of them but of course he does not need one) ....but Madonna , MJ , should have a sticky there all the time ...and janet / el debarge the jacksons should stay in this sticky...

Easy life for you guys.. wink

Yeah, what he said.

Topics here and there are fine, but unless it's a site dedicated to that artist there comes a point when it's just overkill.

As much as I am irritated by the excessive amounts of threads for MJ and all, I do think a permanent sticky-type deal could be problematic as well.

First, it would detract from current stickies.

Second, it could get so long that it would be difficult to follow. The mods would need to really work with it to keep it viable.

Just saying.

Sub-forums might be nice lol but probably too much extra work for the mods.

My point with MJ threads is they usually cover the same ground:

1) Rehashed, repackaged material
2) Weird illness rumors
3) Plastic surgery
4) Little boy issues
5) Dove lady

A mod could pretty much put a sticky and replace it every week, and I don't think people would know the difference. At least Madonna, Janet and Beyonce have current events tied to their bashings. Michael's groove is but a rut, at this point.

And, please, do something about all the MJ Overkill threads. They're tired, too...

Could we make discussion of the J5 and Jacksons actual music exempt? I like nostalgic threads on their music.

Can do without 'current' threads on lazy, workshy MJ falling out of medical centres on a weekly basis.

It's a difficult situation though. where would it stop?, all the Debarge shit is far more annoying. For what they acheived, they simply do not warrant constant new threads.

And i can hardly visit the prince forum with all stupid, no 'compl3t3ly' stupid threads in there.

Poor old mods! comfort

As has been the rule of thumb for me when it comes to boards, don't post on them. Let them fall to the bottom of the heap and be gone. If enough people did this with madonna, mj, debarge, and whoever else the people starting the threads would move on cause they aren't getting the satisfaction they crave.

Its pretty plain and simple.

Totally agree and definitely no stickies either. Why should madge mj jj el get special threads here? they have no more extra importance than other artists. the mj stuff is same usual crap repeated constantly its ridiculous. i think the threads should be ignored by orgers and locked immediately or just be deleted. only allowing for new martieral or concerts by these artist and keeping it to one thread at a time only. if they still wanna bang on about how great thriller was/hes not a pedo rolleyes etc then let them go and flood there own fan sites. this a prince site end of.

The non prince music forum is sooo much better now its not under seige from one or two artists. I actually want to contribute again.

I still contribute to the likes of the MJ sticky, but its nice not to be swamped with everything MJ.

It was getting silly.

Well done mods.
