I'd like to direct your attention

About a point I posted in GD:

MarySharon said:

This is what they say about the org in France:

D'autant plus que le forum que tu cites (Prince.org) est a mon sens le plus désorganisé et illisible des forums princiers, malgré certaines qualités. Chaque discussion donne lieu à des dizaines de pages remplies de messages insignifiants, des private joke, des mécontents et etc... il est quasi impossible de retrouver une information pertinente sans avoir à se farcir des dizaines de messages. Il me semble que les défauts de Prince.org soient bien pires que ceux que l'on reproche habituellement à Schkopi !

And all the more reason that the forum you mention (Prince.org) is according to me the most messy and illegible in prince related forums, despite some qualities. Each discussion is causing dozens of pages full of pointless posts, private jokes, dissatisfied people and so on... It's almost impossible to find a relevant information without having to endure dozens of pages. Seems like prince.org flaws are way worse than those we usually reproach to schkopi!

Source: www.schkopi.com/forum (french)

Ain't that what we all love about the org? (My dear cool happy mess woot! )



Don't you think that's bad luck when people think this way?

schkopi said:

je suis fan de Prince il me semble non ? Et je ne ressens JAMAIS le besoin d'aller sur HQ ou P.org..
d'ailleurs si tu pouvais y annoncer la soirée comme tu le fais a chaque fois ca m'aiderait beaucoup car ils ne me valident JAMAIS mon "event".


It seems like I'm a prince fan, am I not? And I NEVER feel the need to go on HQ or P.org..
Besides, if you could announce the party the way you do each time it would be a big help cuz they NEVER validate my event.


Ahah, you wish... (I know, all this rot makes me bitter)

I do care!

For seven years I struggled to change mentalities regarding Prince french fams community; I fought to bring more open mindedness. I tried to take them with me to London for prince parties. It's been in vain so don't you think I got reasons to be disgusted?

don't you think I'm ashamed when some french members come to me and go like: "Please Mary, you know the org so well and we'd like to have fun the way they do, but mods of the french forum forbid us to do so. What can we do?"

typominded edit!

They can come to the Org! If other French fans want to be so boring, close minded and... dumb, there's nothing you can do about it. It's good on you for trying but don't let it get to you. You are obviously different from those people and that's why we love you! hug

I created a poll on the french forum. They're only 30% at the moment wishing for a change; unfortunately most of them can't go on the org cause they don't know any english. They even asked me if we could send to Matt and Tom a french section request on the org!! (Which seems obvioulsy impossible as it could maybe lead to similar requests from the german, the spanish, the italian and so on, and this would be neverending...)

Yes, they're desperate pout

A great incentive for them to learn English, wouldn't you say? It is remarkable that so many French people still maintain that English isn't a necessary language to know, but it is their problem. Like you say, obviously a French section would never happen, the French fans aren't THAT many. Tell them to learn English and that the Org is THE best site to learn cusswords! biggrin hug

Well.. I have some "French connections," and they all speak English. shrug Of course, some speak better than others.

But I don't understand why these people just don't stay on their own site?
Why do they want to change this one? confused

There is nothing wrong with this site. If they don't like it, then don't join.

It's silly what they said.

P.S. Is "orgerswithoutborders" a site to talk about prince.org? Is it for people who are not happy or to discuss problems?

Why was it created? I know what it says, but why was it created: to talk about people here? I don't understand. Why can't one talk about these things in general discussion?

I hear ya. And indeed P.org haters don't hang around here anyway (unless they need an information unavailable on the french site, and they'll keep on grumbleing on p.org as long as they don't get what they want). Moreover I didn't want to generalize about language skills regarding french people.

The point I was raising here is about the french founders who refuse to turn their forum into a kinda french P.org; that is to say less boring, more "colloquial" and funnier.

They want to keep it as a bookworms gathering, full of lectures, as if they were all Ph. D. students in Minneapolis sound.

As a matter of fact many french people are so tired of the bitching and moaning that they're leaving the french site and those who don't know english got nowhere else to meet prince fans online. Hence this thread.
