Yeah, that picture is my favorite as well. This girl that I had a major thing for had this as a poster. This was in early 83. I tried to get her to give it to me, nah. I finally got the poster myself in 84.I ran a thread about P being onstage with a gun almost a year ago. This pic, to me, was P at my favorite time of his. 81-83 are the peak years of P, to me. As much as I enjoyed the Purple Rain era, it still doesn't rival that period before. P was in a zone, musically and visually. Totally focased.

Rudeboy is da man!

Glad somebody still knows how to use the Org gallery properly - kudos Snap!

Now people *cracks knuckles* im back, and things are gonna change in here. I'm working on a FAQ for the gallery, and there will ne a number of changes implemented over the coming weeks.

One of those changes is how pictures are posted here on the org. One of the original prime goals of the gallery was to cut down on thread loading times by utilising a thumbnail interface, therefore preventing people with dial up having to suffer for your hi-res fix. If you want the bigger version and info - click it. If u want the pic - have a root thru the extensive gallery (era pix are currently lumped in with related tour sections) Trust me, most of the times what u are after will be there, if not - something damned close. It ain't brain surgery.

Time and time again I see people misusing the org gallery by directly linking to pictures (thereby bypassing all the info I have spent time digging up and typing up) and flagrantly using and abusing other people's bandwidth by hotlinking to photos hosted on their site (are u paying attention rudeboynpg?) A prime example of this being poor ol' Vashti's Purplehouse site. Like the Org, like HQ, like Purplehouse we all put a lot of time, love, and effort into making our sites and galleries the best they can possibly be - for YOUR enjoyment.

God only knows how many times i've been still up at 2:30am (quite often on a work nite!) updating the gallery or adding new, more in-depth info to a series of photos in the gallery, only to be disheartened to see someone come along and completely bypass all that hard work by linking directly to the image.

So in a nutshell, abuse it in future and run the risk of my wrath

Either utlise the org gallery properly or if u must show a photo from another site - use your OWN bandwidth or a dedicated server such as Photobucket and give credit where credit is due and/or a link to that person's site while you are at it, as there may be newbies reading a thread who do not even know of a lot of other sites - so use your brain, think ahead.

In future, I will be taking no prisoners where these simple guidelines are flagrantly ignored.

Use it properly - or lose it, your choice.

Thankyou.

anything with a blindfold, pretty much




I like blindfolds

My avatar has to be the one for me. Also love the pic from around '84 on stage with Sheila, with P wearing big sunnies. Leaving London at Heathrow in '86 is also pretty cool.
