A Cynical Suggestion for a New .Org Forum

In a perfect world we could quarantine the following topics to their own forum within the .Org so they can be safely cultivated without being harassed by the old farts like me who only seem interested boring topics...

1. Questions on Prince's supposed wigs, extensions, receding hairline or baldness

2. Anything about Prince's "Little Prince" (how big/small is it, is it circumcised, etc.)

3. What's your favorite or what's the best album/single/b-side/bootleg/video?

4. What was Prince's last good album?

5. Will Prince ever do another good album?

6. Does he have or is he getting an artificial hip?

7. When will the back catalog be remastered?

8. "Have you ever heard [insert any song found on The Work or Work It CDs]"?

9. What album tracks should have been singles?

10. What unreleased songs should be released?

11. What released songs should never have been released?

12. Is Prince Black/half Black/Italian/Jewish/Muslim/part Cherokee?

13. How tall is Prince?

14. What's in The Vault?

15. Will/when will/why won't Prince perform/record with the Revolution?

16. What is his best era (80s, 90s or 00s)?

17. Is Prince gay/bi-sexual/transgengered/a transexual/a hermaphrodite?

18. Anything referring to "Hey Hannigan"

19. [Insert song] totally ripped off [Insert Prince Song]

20. Prince totally ripped off [Insert Song]

21. When is the new album coming out?

22. Here's the track listing for the new album

23. Any personal dreams/fantasies about doing anything to or with Prince

24. Is Prince a better musician/singer than, more talented than, better looking than or sexier than [Insert Performer's Name]?

25. Has Prince ever had Cocaine/X/Smack/Beer/Wine/Banana Daquiris?

26. Did Prince steal his look from Jimi/Hendrix/Little Richard/Liza Minelli?

27. Any holier than thou post that dictates what legal topics shouldn't discussed

Love you all and I love the .Org -- life would be incomplete without it... biggrin

Hey, wait - we still haven't named the section for you guy's, yet!

Can we call it "Bitter Old Bastids", or something nifty like that? razz

The moderators have been talking about splitting the PM&M forum for a while, in fact there is an opinion poll on the home page right now asking if we would support splitting the forum into 2 or more forums, one for music, and one for everything else.

Seriously though -- and this is strictly my opinion -- I'm mostly interested in the information other .Orgers have about topics like the inspriration behind songs, studio stories and insights into Prince history over unfounded speculative posts that aren't related to the music or the artist. Sure I read the wig posts but they're redundant and no one has any verified info to offer. Discussions about the best song, album or whatever can be fun but again that topic seems to pop up repeatedly and too often becomes a series of rants on insults. Posts like "What color are his skid marks" and "is he circumcised" just baffle me, I guess it's a joke that I just don't find funny.

Anyway it seems with all the informed and intelligent people in here I'm surprised that we're not (myself included) starting more informative, thought provoking or original topics. Like I said I read the .org often and indeed there are some truly great posts now again.

i'm a bitter old fart too, and agree some posts are infantile. however in 1987 - 88, when i really got into prince, aged 16, 17 every topic in your list would have been profound to me. lol

don't play me...i'm over 30 and i DO smoke weed....

I feel ya. Maybe it would be best to split. I like to see more intelligent discussions of his music too. There's a lot to talk but then you get junk like "how much of Prince's hair is his?" lol

I am sure Prince himself would also totally dig that.

27 forums ALL ABOUT HIM. That would be a complete ego boosting experience for him to witness.

Oah! 27 forums in a none night stand

Dig if U will the picture

Of 27 forums engaged in a kiss

How about a forum where any topic is welcome to be posted, but can only be greeted with harsh crisicism and ridicule?
