This was brought up not too long ago. I don't think the text was "Best of" but was something like greatest hits 96 to present.

Also, a best of prince gets mentioned a lot also.

This was the thread I was thinking of where we recently discussed this topic. http://prince.org/msg/7/314850

I pulled it up but I can't see when it was originally posted or what page it's on now. Honestly I doubt if anyone looks much past page 3 to see if a thread has already been started on a particular topic.

Unfortunately what I have observed, so far, is that lets say that you started a thread that was halfway descent and then over the next 2 days a bunch of people posted not so great threads that aren't very well thought out; your thread will sink like a lead ball because no one even knows it's there to comment on. It doesn't matter how lame a topic is, it still gets to be a thread. Truly I think repeating a halfway descent thread idea over again beats a flood of half-baked thread ideas.

Your observation is on point.

You can find when a thread is started by looking at the first initial post in the top right corner. It tell the date and time.

I don't know if u know it, but the threads around here get locked after so long. You can still reference them after so long, but you cannot post on them.

I think most people scroll through most of the topics. If you visit frequently, you figure out that not that many threads get started and last.

Thanks for telling me that, now I know.

Alot of people named songs that might be from "Disorder and Chaos" which is one that I don't own and seems to cause a love/hate response when it's brought up in a thread.

I also only have "the Dance" from 3121 but alot of orgers say the other version is better.

I will do my best to keep this thread alive so that it isn't duplicated in two months.

There came a time when the risk of remaining tight in the bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom. Anais Nin.
