PrintableTalking of "fams" why did he even bother with the Princefams website? I had a look in there and the forums were dead and buried. Only this site and Housequake have any real traffic. The third most frequented site for Prince discussion is probaby Okayplayer.com. Glug, glug like a mug | |

And idolisation picture threads..... And "What does he smell like" threads..... And "I touched him, oh my god!" statements..... Thanks Prince! Hurrahh!!! I was beginning to think I was the only person sick to death of the "what is Prince favourite colour" threads, i have limited time on here, and its been taking me ages to scroll thru all the shit and read something decent! And no one lecture me on the freedom of speach stance...Freedom smeedom, I dont want to suffer the bouts of verbal diarrhoea! To those that are leaving, i'm sure u have your reasons, t'raa and all that, oh and cheers for the support to Prince.org.  "Fella's would u look at that tail............... would u eva....."

I bet you there will be a few attention seeking fams who will start a thread proclaiming to leave, only to announce they are staying because of the love shown or what Prince says etc. All they really wanted was a thread that made them the centre of attention, otherwise they could have just said goodbye and be gone! Just watch..... . |

The fams who want to respect his wishes are leaving! They want to support Prince so they are going! Wonderful. Prince has managed to do what most of us haven't been able to since the NPGMC forums shut down! Thanks Prince, you are restoring some sanity to the org! 
Best thread ever On both points, truer words have never been written here.  | |

Best thread ever No Way will I delete 3121 accont nor will I abandon Prince, as a matter of fact I hope Prince,org, Housequake, and the others go to u know what. I pray that Prince will soon start a fansite for all fans that truly love him and respect what he deems ncecessary to do. Lemme | |

but people are leaving in protest AT prince too. soon both sides will leave. people will flock from the org in droves, until eventually all is left is bart van hemelen. with noone to pay attention to him his purpose in life will be lost. he will choose to martyr himself by driving a truck packed full of explosives and copies of "confessions on a dancefloor" into paisley park.
and the young will be so educated they will never grow old. [Edited 11/7/07 14:27pm] | |

No disrespect but I think it's kinda funny and ridiculous that folks are actually "leaving" so they say, The Org because of this whole thing. They are basically giving up and running away from a problem that isn't all that life threatening. But lets see those who actually delete their account. Some people think I'm kinda cute
But that don't compute when it comes 2 Y-O-U. | |

Just watch..... I am actually going, I put my delete account request in earlier and so as soon as that activated its bye bye. I'm just not interested in this site too much anymore. It was ok during the O2 gigs for reviews and chats but now its just too analytical on things in Prince's life and I'm just interested in the music side. After all we don't know him, we only listen to his music. Its better to leave after today, then to just sit on the Org all day and just leave sarcastic replies to everyone... yawn!

Aint nobody leaving anything. Theyre waiting w/ baited breath for the next excuse to act out instead of figuring out what theyre really all about when this nonsense isnt on their radar. | |

I am leaving, I swear I've put in my delete account thread and as soon as its activated I'm long gone! I was thinking about it anyway and now I'll just read news articles on all this and like I've always done make my own mind up on it all. | |

 at SquirrelMeat's original post. But I was thinking it's kind of like that whole "If you don't do x then the terrorists win." crap, except in this case it just might make sense. I mean, if all the fans/fams/purple hippies/true funk soldiers leave then then the websites die b/c there are no users and Prince gets his way. So we actually need everyone to stay, even the crazy fams.*
*In no way am I equating or implying that Prince is a terrorist or affiliated with terrorism. SpecialEd said: Talking of "fams" why did he even bother with the Princefams website? I had a look in there and the forums were dead and buried. Only this site and Housequake have any real traffic.
They had a kick ass gallery. Very well organized by era, with tags and stuff. The third most frequented site for Prince discussion is probaby
 .com. Don't give Websheriff any ideas!

[b]I pretty much guarantee that our "Poem writing, been obsessed for 8 months" Fam is still trolling the forums. Not to be mean, but man she seemed like one of those cult fanatics that committ mass suicide to be with their "leader" type.. am I right?
I mean, don't get me wrong, I got a symbol tat, but jeesh. He is still a paranoid purple midget with an attitude, granted an extremely talented paranoid purple midget with an attitude, but a purple midget nontheless! | |

fams can probably play this crazed game as well as prince if not better...they will leave (temporarily), but once these idle threats fizzle, the fans will return....he will never have complete control over fansites - get over it |

Agree. I just wish he would bring back a forum on the offical site so the flies can get back to their favourite piece of shit. . |

JOYJOY said: SquirrelMeat said: But Prince obviously doesn't think so. He keeps closing their playgrounds. And if Prince doesn't want it, doesn't that create a Paradox for fams?!
As far as I understand from the notes of PFU and the closing of previous sites The Son of a Kings main concern is with use of his image and getting Paid. When he or his people actually makes contact with Fansite member or unofficial fansite with regards to editing or banning somebody opinion... Well then I'll put my boxing gloves on. Until then, I'll be here on my fence... Ben has this text on the homepage of this site : Their demands for removing content and mandating how we would refer to Prince, if obliged, would essentially mean the end of any discussion of Prince-related topics, hosting of images (even of people's symbol tattoos!) and more.
We haven't seen everything there is to see, but Ben has, and he is making a very strong statement about it. I have no reason to distrust Ben. Do you? "this especially prepared potato is called pomme de terre" | |
