I hate to throw a monkey wrench in ur plans but here's the problem with ur theory... If there are incessant threads and posts in the Prince music and more forum won't the majority of people go to the other forum thus making it essentially two forums to discuss Prince. Maybe there should be a pic and gossip forum and then a seperate music forum. But pics and gossip do fall under the More category.

I don't know about the "gossip" part, but having a seperate photo forum is nice--like at HQ all the photos are in one forum and so if you want pics of Prince's eyes or Pics of Prince with lollipops you can find them (seriously, those threads exisit at HQ).

Of course the obvious alternative is to just not click on those types of threads...but more and more it seems that one has to wade through a bunch of those types of threads in P:M&M to get to more 'in-depth topics.'


(also waiting for this thread to get moved to Site Discussion forum--the kiss of death for any thread. )

jone70 said:

I don't really care either way cause I think its fine the way it is but for the complainers...

I thought this thread would be more appropriate in the site discussion forum.
[Edited 4/6/07 12:13pm]

I suggested a gossip forum awhile back....
it landed on deaf ears..

as for this gripe...I really think people are making a mountain out of a mole hill...just skip the silly threads and wait...the boards are cyclical...the love threads will die as soon as a new album drops and we're all inundated with this shit sux threads.

Simple-Don't read what u don't wanna read.

adorable2 said:

Ok so what is the difference in what I suggested and what you suggested other than the actual name of the thread?

For the most part the only people who constantly post these pic topics and "he's so sexy" topics over and over and over as of late are either new to the site, new to Prince, or just got back into P after being away for years and years.

jone70 said:

Exactly.

Ifsixwuz9 said:

after i read my post i thought the same thing I get u. so u are saying to have a forum for newbies to hang out?

adorable2 said:

Uh yeah. I'm not saying banish them from the site or delete their threads but if they want to create 10 posts a day eseentially about the same damn thing over and over don't let it bump other discussions that may come up but can't be seen because they got bumped to the next page due to fact that there are so many redundant threads.

Ifsixwuz9 said:

Their not redundant

Some are about Prince wearing Red, another Black and White, another Green, Purple. etc...etc...

Come on, have some fun, let's party, these threads are fun to me, and I am not a newbie fan.....25 years man...

babooshleeky said:

25 years? So, you're a "Rainer" then right? And I think you get my point about the threads ...unless you just don't want to.

I'd like to know what makes one a newbie or not a newbie. For how long must one have been a Prince fan and/or a member of this community to not be considered a newbie?

Ifsixwuz9 said:

Yep.....

I do get yer point.. I am just in denial

VenusBlingBling said:

When you don't feel the need to post thread after thread after thread saying he's so sexy, look at his butt, or post the same pics over and over.

VenusBlingBling said:

I'm wondering the same thing. And who's to say that a new fan can't have important things to say? I think everyone should have the right to discuss Prince. How are new fans supposed to learn unless they can talk with more seasoned fans? I've been a fan for almost 12 years and I am learning new things about Prince all the time. I am sure there are newer fans who know songs and facts that I don't.

Oh then in that case we gotta lot old newbies on this site! I'm callin them out... Come out oldbies wherever u are! Fight for ur right to drool over redundant pics and butt threads!

Just read Poproyalty's posts! Ive been a fan for 20+ and there's a bunch I don't know

You're right about the threads going in cycles, the most common are...
"oooh, he's so cute I wanna (blank) him!"
"what race is he?"
"why is he JW?"
"look at his" (insert body part).

I also agree that the "this album sucks" threads are just as tiresome.

The fammy threads are fun once in awhile but anything done to excess can be annoying, What can ya do except live and let live, right? I mentioned over in GD that they have their share of silly threads too.

Besides, this is all Prince's fault for being so darn cute.

babynoz said:

Exactly babynoz! I'm tired of the numerous "What's your favorite song?" or "Is Prince gay?" threads myself. It's not just the picture threads that fill up the board. But like I said earlier, if I don't like the topic, I don't read the thread! I don't make the poster feel bad, or embarass them.

And yes, Prince is cute, and has had many different looks and styles. If he didn't want people to notice his looks, he wouldn't play it up so much.

UCantHavaDaMango said:

I agree.
Btw, if I've liked Prince since the early 90's, became a fan 4 years ago and joined this site a little over a year ago, should I be considered a newbie or not?

I dont c what all the fuss is about

VenusBlingBling said:

I know, right? What about me? Ive been a fan for 25 years meaning I owned all the albums, movies, a few magazines and videos. Since joining the fan sites about 3 years ago I've added lots of collectibles plus I now have the priviledge of knowing Prince's shoe size.

I wonder where I stand now? Do I get a promotion.

Sit back, relax, njoy...

What has happened to the quality in this thread?

I agree with U SquirrelMeat but your sense of humour is very funny and smart and hard to match. That's the Ultimate compliment. The quality of the posts around here or the lack of quality reflects the hard to obtain combination of wit and intelligence and humour. That's my honest opinion. Your avatar is hilarious. Props to the Squirrel
