I hope you are correct about unreleased, unheard songs and unseen live shows but that might be a very long time coming due to the probate case. I imagine that only the WB stuff is readily accessible, but that's rehash stuff that I don't much care about.

Yep! biggrin

I admit, I expect remasters of basic edition albums first, and am in the minority of not looking forward to those. I don't think brickwalled digital mastering is preferable to the quiet 80s mastering so I'll be skipping all of that. I'm in it for previously unreleased material. I may have to wait, but I believe it'll be worth it. cool

EASILY solved. DON'T CLICK ON those threads. just don't do it!! stop yourself before you even go there

try to understand that other people who are participating on threads that you dislike not only have a right to make those threads here (not *your* website) but they also have a different point of view, so live and let live

this place would be so much better if people would simply follow this one, simple guideline, instead of showing up on threads they hate, knowing they hate them, for the sole purpose of trashing the thread because they hate it.

you probably already know but there is was a perfect example of an otherwise fun thread in the PM&M forum that was disrupted by assholes who decided they couldn't stand seeing folks discuss topics *they* disapproved.

in the end, it was a few bullies, arguing with and attacking participants that resulted in the mess that thread ultimately became. the thread was locked, due to the antics of the disgruntled few.

i feel strongly about this issue. enough is enough already

so, to sum up, in conclusion i still love the Org but dislike its little manmade whirlpools of nasty, stirred up by those who wish harm on others

[Edited 9/16/16 10:23am]

Agreed. Agree with your other posts on this thread too. Well said.

Just wanna add, the mod's choosing 2 delete the happiest thread on here since April ain't 2 cool either. A thread that had 55,000 views.

The original sexy/silly thread that got deleted.
Too many women were having too much fun, so the cro magnon's & party poops got it shut down.

I know, right? Boo-fucking-hoo.

So all these nonsense threads about Prince's perfume, his sex life etc are chasing people away?! Yeah, that's something to be proud of, ladies.

It is not a matter of being proud. None of us ladies wrote those songs or performed in that manner in those costumes.....that was Prince Rogers Nelson. rolleyes If you are soooo brilliant then why do you need that explained to you?

It is simply a matter of what is allowed and what is not allowed. That is what you agreed to when you joined, period, end of story. You are neither a moderator or the site owner so your only recourse is to whine, butt out or start a thread that you deem worthy of your high minded sensibilities.

FYI all of the comments from the past that were posted by Robin, Artpal, Bassdame, and others from the Prince camp are still there if you do a search. Those comments were never snipped and those threads have not been deleted to this day, so if you want to bitch about that, take it up with org management if you don't like it.

Like I said, I can smell a hypocrite a mile away. Where were your criticisms of Prince when he was writing and performing provocative, sexually explicit material??? Was that something for him to be proud of in your opinion? If you had no problem with it then, you have no moral high ground from which to spew judgement and faux outrage now.....period.

I simply despise hypocrites.

Also, as for the perfume comment, he created at least 2 scents that I'm aware of...What's so were about us discussing what he smelled like?

I've seen other celebrities, interviewers, fans...lots of folks comment on how delicious he smelled and how soft his hands were. Why is it weird that a fan would notice and discuss it?

I agree that an upgrade is needed because the org just ate my last reply. The software or interface or whatever is outdated and does not function properly. The day Prince passed just like every other major event cause the org to go down. Coming here can be an ordeal but there is still no place on Earth where so many other people understand the impact of losing Prince. If not for the org most of our families and friends would be sick of us by now.

Those who are whining excessively about topics they don't care for are free to skip them or delete their account. Just like real life, not everything will be to your liking. It's perfectly fine to say you don't like something, but it does not give you the right to regulate what other people can discuss as long as it's not against the rules.

It is patently unfair to hold new members exclusively accountable for the extreme level of morbid curiousity that is ongoing since 4/21. I have seen many longtime members start dozens of redundant threads, repeatedly trying to force their version of what led to Prince's demise down our throats and lash out at the members who don't take their opinion as holy writ.

The only thing that I found to be very irksome was the tendency for people to start new threads without checking the stickies or seeing if a thread has already been started about the same topic. At one point the forum was so cluttered that is was barely readable. So many people seemed to want their own personal thread and that's just not feasable.

At least most of our new members are not as jaded and cynical, so the number of threads spewing venom, personal insults and outright hatred toward Prince are much fewer than before.

Hatred shown toward Prince's family is the only thing that I think is inappropriate. Those kinds of attacks are against the rules, IIRC.

.

Baby: Very well said. I agree!! We are all here because of our love for Prince. Who's to say one person's feelings or opinions are more important than anothers? And like you said, if there is a topic you aren't interested in, just move on! I skim through the threads and if it's not of interest to me, I just go onto the next topic! I don't see the need for people to insult one another. If someone wants to talk about Prince's hair or how he smelled, then what's the big deal? If people want to discuss Prince and not his music all the time, what is wrong with that? I just feel that some of the long-time orgers are not accepting of the new ones, and that's basically wrong, and that type of attitude is certainly not what Prince would want here. But anywho....just my thoughts. prince heart

Right now it's a little weird to me - and I'll say this openly - to sometimes see entire discussions being dominated by people who signed up AFTER April 21st.

I understand that's it's par for the course, and I think a lot of these people will likely move on over time. But prior to April 21st, the community felt very tight and safe, and his passing has hit us like an atom bomb and scattered our sense of self as long term fans.

I'm absolutely not saying that there's not a place for new fans - there is and always will be. But prior to his passing, anyone who had been here for a few years, we were here when what he was doing wasn't newsworthy, when the public weren't checking for him, when he really needed us to be there.

And I could relate to damn near everyone. Because I can relate to anyone that at some point discovered Prince's music and fell in love - that's all of our stories.

What I can't relate to is people that only decided to become fans because he died and his death was mysterious and in the news all the time - and then they come here and barely talk about his music but only about his passing. I just..... I don't get that. The music is not secondary to anything. If that's your perspective then you missed his entire message.

It's different. Prince kept us on our toes in more ways than one! But the org will always be home.

I get your pain militant. I am very new to the org, but have also been checking in on it since the late 90's . I didn't become a fan because he died and he was in the news. P was a bit like a lifelong friend. He seems to have always been in my life. I have always been really happy for him when things have been going well and my stomach has lurched at every misfortune. I have felt that for no other person I have not known personally. Yes, the music is special, it brought me to P and it brought us all here, but in my mind it is secondary to the person. I'd happily never listen to or watch any of his work ever again if it could bring him back in good health and state of mind (and it is the only music I can listen to since he died - I've tried to reintroduce others and it failed). I struggle to understand the 'looking forward to some gems from the vault is really cheering me up' statements, but I'm not judging. It might be nice for me to hear some music from the vault, but it will be no consolation. I really want to see him enjoying the music now.

.

People deal with deaths differently. Some need to talk and some can't bear to. Some only want to remember the good times and others like to (lovingly) review all the quirks that made them unique. Some want to find the reason why he had to die, some can't bear to even think about it. Even in a room full of people mourning, you can wonder if anyone feels the same as you. I have been there enough times. I first became teetotal as a teen due to my disgust at people around me drinking at a funeral (yes, I know, I was a bit judgemental back then - a teenagers prerogative before the complexity of life hits them - I was actually fuming, and no-one was even drunk - I guess I was really just angry that she had to die).

.

I don't know why other new people are here, and I could be wrong, but I don't think his death would hold much interest for anyone who doesn't care about him. At least in my family (with a husband whose only memory of Purple Rain were the shots of the bike - those scenes he could describe in detail 30 years later), more than a 20 second soudbite every few weeks is pushing it. And he likes quite a bit of the music and says he feels really sad that he died - just not that sad.

.

Exactly.

Thank you!

It's not as much fun as it was, for two reasons really.

Firstly, and the obvious one, there is no "now" to discuss. I've always been a fan of the new output and shows, and to me now is not about playing amateur detective / medical examiner / tabloid writer about Prince's death. I have more respect for him than that.

Secondly, the org dynamics have obviously changed dramatically since April.

I love it that newbies get into Prince, but there are different types of newbies. There are ones who are hungry for knowledge on Prince and his music and they are respectful of a long standing and extremely knowledgeable community. On the flip side there are ones who just chuck thread after thread up of stupid topics or fake idolisation.

But I think the real problem is under the skin of some of the new and older accounts that have been inactive for a while. The 'Crazies'

For those that have been here through the years, the biggest threat to this site cohesion was over a decade ago when the NPG site closed down. The NPG forum was like a worshipping cult. When it shut down, they flooded onto the org.

The very people that kept proclaiming "Love4oneanother" spent most of their time writing threads trying to tell everyone how they should behave, what it means to be a "real fam" and thread after thread of idolisation, be it pictures or comments.

Eventually most ran for the hills, but its quite clear quite a few came back for somewhere to preach post April 21st.

I've seem more use of the term "Fam" (which is the big giveaway) and 'Love4oneanother" in the last 3 months than I did for the whole of the last decade.

The problem isn't just here. Facebook threads are being ruined by people constantly posting pictures and hearts every minute.

We've pretty much always seen eye to eye, and I agree with every single part of this post.

CherryMoon, I think you took my post the wrong way. Like Squirrel says, there's two types of people, and unfortunately post-death signups, in my own experience, have been primarily the problematic kind, and not the good, contributing kind like yourself.

People who had been fans for a while but only joined this particular site (or used to be members but left and came back) post 4/21 aren't the people I was referring to in my original post.

[Edited 9/15/16 14:00pm]

Squirrel: Just so you know, the phrase "Fam" was a word that was made-up by PRINCE himself, not any of the "newbies". Prince did not like the word "Fan" because it stands for "fanatic", and he thought of ALL of us as his "friends" & "family".

.

Furthermore, I have been a Prince fan since 1979. So, whether I was an org member from it's inception is highly irrelevant, as being a member of any message board does not mean you are more of a Fan aka "Fam" than anyone else. Just saying.

.

Peace! prince

It's quite interesting because although we have access to a wider range of opinions than ever through the explosion of social media, a lot of research has suggested that we tend to join facebook groups, online communities that agree with our views, just like we do with newspapers which means when we face a lot of opposing views we handle it rather..well...angrily.

I love it when someone sees a song differently to me. As Prince fans we agree on nothing and I love that. I even like Jughead 😉

I can't get enough information about this dude's music - I just don't understand why it's so appealing to me. The music is obvious, but I shouldn't be on this site as much as I am.

You do realize that we're ALL Cro Magnon, right? We really are still the same human beings that we were 100,000 years ago. Just with a little bit more technology. But deep down we're still the same

Peace!

Prince used 'Fam' as a control mechanism in my opinion. Fan stemmed from 'Fanatic' but the general term simply means "an enthusiastic devotee, follower, or admirer of a sport, pastime, celebrity" in modern day form.

This was a period where Prince was making up the history of words; That 'CONtract' came about from Con, or that 'Blackburn' had any connection with slavery.

As for levels of fandom, I've always said it can't be quantified, its a useless exercise. But I was pointing out that it was many of the people who referred to themselves as "Fams" that started coming on here attacking others for differing opinion and say they were not "true fans".

Thank you Militant for looking up that wonderful thread it was called:

Can we discuss Prince in ...(explicit)

May I put in, that I have been a Prince fan since May 1979, I met the man in 79 in the LA area too. Although I am a post April 21 sign-up, I will say that this has been one of the better Prince sites I've visited. I've met some wonderful people here (Babynoz, NinaB, NurseV, LBrent, Mumio, GuitarHero, ACharmed1, Leslievette, Millionairess, Candace, MonkeyRose, Lucah, Jenjens and so many others) that I am happy to say my world has expanded exponentially.

Some threads may not be another's cup of tea but it just shows how much Prince's music and the man himself, has influenced all of our lives...and THAT fact should be celebrated as we all figure out how to continue in our own journeys of life without him here to help us through it all.

EDIT: Don't know what happened to the link because it takes me elsewhere, but at least you have the name of the thread!

Hello Everyone...

I have skimmed through this thread....Understand that the long time orgers may feel that their tight knit community has been disrupted by new comers.I am one of them..

Yes..Ive stalked the org for years and never joined ..I dont really know why...maybe becasue I was raising children and grandchildren..maybe becasue Ive read a lot of dissing of Prince .

I remember clearly coming here for the first time.

I actually thought this site was all about HATE for prince becasue it seemed that there was a lot of that going on.

It didnt stop me from coming back though and eventually I used to come to find out what was going on in his life, what was new, I lurked its true.

I finally registered post Princes passing becasue SO many people just DONT understand his genius and his brilliance, and I wanted to be amongst the Purple Family becasue suddenly the world seems to be missing a note.

I come to learn, to share, to laugh, and hopefully offer some insight love and joy where I can....

Its a nice place....I understand that to you long timers that we may seem like intruders...

but we are kind of more like Orphans... smile

THanks for taking us in

biggrin

Right. So saying a certain thread on a website is nonsense equals beating women? The two of you are going more with every post you make. But... You're still part of the club. What would the org be without the weirdos?!

warning: profanity laden rant
excuse the fuck out of me but as a personal recipient of some nasty bullying here i can tell you without DOUBT there are some people on this website who DO go out of their way to put folks down for voicing opinions that don't jive with their own.

so sincerely fuck off with your disparaging comments about weirdos. THAT WAS A PERSONAL ATTACK. you BROKE THE RULES THERE.

the attitude of folks like you is what is in question here. seriously, who the fuck do you think you are?

you DON'T own this website.

you are clearly NOT an arbiter of good taste and judgment.

in fact here at the Org we have a Looonnng and well documented ORG history of bullies showing up on threads *they* deem to be unworthy and twisting these threads into a debate about their own worthiness, through personal attacks on those who are participating in and enjoying the threads.

so please fuck off with your attitude that YOU have the right to judge threads and those who participate on them. just fuck off with that shit

DON'T LIKE THE THREAD??? IGNORE IT.

This. Sooo.much.this. Bullies here on the org nod Thank you for speaking the truth XxAxX, we love you for that. hug
