Two things that the mods could do that would massively improve prince.org

1. Merge the Associated Artists forum with the Prince: Music and More forum. Now Prince is no longer with us, I think it's time to recognise that The Time, The Family, Sheila E etc are an integral part of his life and work and so many great topics/debates get swept under the rug because not many people check the Associated Artists forum. Maybe even do a poll on the main page to see if this is something the members here would like??

2. Dispense with the ridiculous amount of sticky's. They stick around far longer than they need to and are just annoying.

I know in the past the org has seemed somewhat reluctant to act upon the suggestions of its members, but I really think these two things would make a big difference to the overall experience of prince.org.

I think you should be able to discuss albums that were produced by Prince in the Prince section (The Times 80s albums, The Family, Sheila E's first three albums, Chaka's Come 2 My House, Vanity 6, Jill Jones etc) and keep a seperate forum for everything else. I mean, fDeluxe doing a new album really has little to do with Prince.

Agree, and I'd rather not wade through threads about wives/girlfriends, either.


I agree about the stickies being excessive.

I agree some of the stickies can go, especially ones where there is no new information to talk about.

If they did #1 I think the Prince forum would get too "bulky".
But couldn't agree more with #2!

The mods do fine, and frankly, have probably worked over time with the sheer amount of duplicates out there because people don't search for current topics.

I do see why, at a time when the greatest entertainer in the world has died from a drug overdose, there need to be some areas for people to land in to talk. Also, I do agree that there is an excessive amount of stickies.


Fix these:
The double Revolution stickies in PMM & AAP.

Merge: Autopsy, medical examiner, overdose,

Merge: Vault & estate

Merge: BET awards with Tributes (magazines etc) (or see below for BET)

Merge: RIP Prince Rogers Nelson (in AAP) and Sometimes It Snows In April (in PMM)


Ditch:

Claimant rejected

Judith Hill

Joe Kelly (love Joe, but it's over)

Peach & Black (see Joe)

Online Museum (reopen maybe when/if it goes back up)

Hometown Hero documentary (really?)

Double Sheila E stickies - tour w/ Mary Jane girls, plus BET awards


Ben has set up the Org to run a certain way and 99% of the time it works fine. The mods shuffle through every bit of stuff we post, making sure it all stays in the guidelines (which are pretty liberal, really).

PS You posted this thread in the wrong forum. LOL

I'm sure all the stickies are a temporary fix while we all use this place to help with the grieving process. Plus there are a shit ton of newbies here now and former members so the amount of new threads and repeat threads I'm sure was overwhelming at the end of April - June, July and even still.

Please don't include associated artists in the Prince music forum. I'd hate to have even more to dig through there to get to threads that interest me. Thank you.

Making love and music are the only things worth fighting for.

How long do stickys stay up? I feel the Judith Hill one could be closed as there's nothing new to add. And how about combining the two overdose threads and maybe closing them since there's no new information there either? Are these things that people still need to speculate on?

I know there is way too many, but at some point when the dust settles on PP, the amount of stickies will subside.
