I was just browsing a lot of fansites and I just cant beleive how ancient they all are!! Some, if not most of them, havent been updated for literally years!!! And, with some, u click the link and the site has been taken down!!

To me, it just shows how dead the online Prince community and online interest in Prince really is!! Its a far cry from what it used 2 b like years ago!!!

Well, Prince did bring legal action to a bunch of people, that kinda scares others off.

Prince is his own worst enemy.

Actually, the online community is getting bigger and bigger each year it seems - especially since Prince became Prince again and is releasing slightly more commercially accessible music (you can argue that this is a good thing or a bad thing, but that's another topic). Back when I got into it in c.1999/2000, Prince was still viewed as a whack-job by the general public.

The difference is that many of the smaller fan sites have given up because: a) they realise they can't compete with the bigger fan sites in terms of quality and quantity (ie. why bother going to all the effort maintaining a fan site when sites like prince.org and housequake.com keep everyone up-to-date anyway?), and b) they're scared of Prince suing their asses (which he has a habit of doing!).

There are still a lot of smaller fan sites, but a lot of the good ones remain "under the radar" so to speak .

So far,
that was my favorite episode of History Channel's "Engineering An Empire".

Y'know it's hosted by Robo-Cop, don't you?
