This place is going downhill!

We seem to be inundated with crappy worshipping threads....

If you were alone with P!
Sexiest Pic!
One track he'd sing to you!
I touched him!
Look at this pic!

Etc etc. You catch the drift.

Christ! What has happened to this forum? Is everyone bored, or have we been taken over by the NPGMC sheep crowd? Has the superbowl brought out all the MJ fans looking for a new home?

Look at the first page of threads in this section. Its becoming a freakshow.

Anyone got any guesses why?

I agree with you.

i actually like the picture threads

Umm...yeah.
Link us 2 all the gem threads u've started.

I don't know,
but I can't imagine that my posts are helping the situation in any way.

Don't get me wrong, everything is fine in moderation. But we seem (as a collective!) to be dumbing down in a big way.

I don't recognise half the people posting at the moment, and they seem to be into idolisation.

the quality went down.

that is my answer and i hope it helpeded.

There has been many, just check the profile. Not one of them revolved around princes arse (Except the one about the 1991 MTV trousers!)

Maybe we need another gay thread to liven things up.

Just kidding! I agree with you. I've been missing some of the "educational" threads where Boris or someone would explain how an album or song came together, stuff like that. Those have helped fill in a lot of blanks for me.

SquirrelMeat said:

Well thats it then...U've got all the good 1s covered, and uncovered as the case may b.
U mean more analytical threads re the music, or what?

SquirrelMeat said:

npgmc shut down

The only problem I have on here is it gets quite 'clickey' sometimes.....
but thats just IMO only

upgrade this spot

funk it up

The way I see it is there are still plenty of "quality" threads started, they- sadly- just don't get as many views and/or responses, and drop off too quick. I'm not as hesitant to "revive" a decent thread from the second or even third page anymore.

Very true. If you are not worshipping, you're out!!

christos7 said:

I'm not even sure exactly what I mean myself! Its just seems that the "Prince Music and More" forum has been taken over with idolisation.

I think it has wrecked a good forum. It does seem to tie in with the closure of the NPGMC. Maybe the freaks on the side needed a new home?

SquirrelMeat said:

alot of people use it as a friends network which isnt a problem to me so dont hate me - but sometimes it can take over a thread - IMO

wendyrachel said:

This is the very first & so far, only site I have ever become involved with.
And whenever I told anyone that I was thinking of joining a fan site,
I was warned quite often that cliques are always something that comes with these sites.
I post on all the "major" forums,
& I can tell you,
that each one has their own particular sets of cliques.

While I'm not a big fan of 'em (& to be "fair", they don't seem to hold any real regards towards me either), I always just figured that they came with the territory.

SquirrelMeat said:

'Prince Music & More' is quite a broad title, and given the broad range of fans/fams whatever u wanna call us, theres bound 2 many posts that dont quite cut it 4 certain members.
I sometimes skip over threads based on the thread title alone. Just skim over the 1s that don't suit u as an individual. No brainer.
The really bad 1s that most rn't interested in sink fairly quick.

wendyrachel said:

Good point. I don't take offence to people enjoying a whole online community here, but thats what the general discussions forum is for.

I just find that the Prince forum has been overrun by fanatics (ironically, they'll consider themselves fams, not fans).

Illustrator said:

I agree - Ive no problem with it but it can get a little frustrating sometimes - especially when you are tryiing to get a point across and it gets ignored or not read as other people are having a chat etc
but this is just my opinion so dont want to offend anyone

wendyrachel said:

it's MUCH more "clickey" in GD or music-non prince imo. I rarely even read GD since there is quite a bit of silliness and inside discussions, and always feel slightly afraid to post in non prince music. But I do give it a try when it gets boring over here. I like Associated Artists too, but it can be slow.

Just realised you are UK based! What are you doing up at this unearthly hour? I thought I was the only UK nutter not in bed?!

Sorry Luv4u, but I don't


SquirrelMeat,

For me, I come to the org to have fun. Whether it be to talk about Prince's nice ass, his outstanding talent or drooling over all the beautiful pictures of him. Who gives a sh*t. If you don't like the thread, don't participate in it. Sorry, I am not trying to sound mean, but it's fun here. Go to the politics/religion site if you want to get serious, I do.


Not everything here on the P site has to be about the science of his music. Though I do like to talk about that too.

There is enough B.S. in the world, so let's all have some fun.

Well this is a good start. Here we are on this thread posted in the Prince: Music and More forum discussing not Prince not his music but threads other people started in the Prince: Music and More forum. I know this will sound cliched but majority rules and it is those threads SquirrelMeat was referring to that get the most response here lately so... I'm down to discuss anything Prince related which is why I joined the site but whether its runover with Prince haters or Prince fanatics I'm still going to speak my piece and be content with it.

SquirrelMeat said:

Oh thats easy - Ive had a drink cos we are off work 2moz for easter - so enjoying the late nite!!!!

Have U had ur + 2day?

babooshleeky said:

Don't get me wrong. I agree with you. But its about moderation. I'm not after a forum that talks about the "science" of the music, but equally, I don't like a forum that seems to be becoming more obsessed with P's looks than his music.

Thats what seems to be happening here at the moment. Hence my thread.

SquirrelMeat said:

Okay, Squirrel,
that will be enough of that cliquey bullshit.
Get back on topic.
