Anyone else miss TRH? Used to hang out in there all day for weeks on end, the chat was so much fun. We were like a little family. Hard to believe that was 6 years ago that it got shut down!

Me too! best dc+ spot ever.

Wow, I forgot all about that place, but yes, I used to LOVE it.

Me too, though I defintely lost track longer than 6 years ago. My most frequent usage was defintely around the ONA tour. I had no idea it stuck around that long.

Agreed - I was also surprised to hear it was still around back in..what, 2007?? I used it heavily in 2001/2002 and then stopped for reasons I can no longer recall. I guess I assumed it had been yanked at that point.

Me 2!!! It was total Prince download Heaven!! Anything u wanted?? It was there!!! If it started up again by some remote chance, I reckon that I would remember how to set it all up!!

Getting rare Prince stuff way back then was SO MUCH easier than it is now!!!

I personally believe that someone should start something similar up again, as a big global to Prince!!!

If it needs to be global, use the torrents.

Was a great place, certainly miss it. I was unfortunate to only find it about 6 months before it disappeared just as I was figuring out how to set it up properly. Probably a good thing in one respect, as I would probably have more external hard drives now than cd´s.

I am surprised that something similiar has not been set up again, although remembering how hardcore those guys where, I am sure something does exist.

Dime wont do Prince!!! The only other place is TTD(I am sure u know what that is!!! )!! Either that or many fans now put boots up on their own personal blogs of which they then put up links for on their Facebook pages!!!

We also have the pirate bay anbd this place.

sha-1 hashes are free speech.

Ahh, the glory days

I don't see why someone can't start it again

What I find so crazy now, is that everyone on here, particularly on here, talks about TRH freely now out in the open, yet back when it was running u didnt dare say a word about it to ANYBODY, except privately, for fear of the knowledge of it getting into the wrong "hands"!!!

It was a fantastic place.

I remember chatting with somebody on TRH about the existence of a soundboard recording of Montreux 2007. According to him, a soundboard recording was circulating and at least one guy who had a copy was looking for a label to buy it. Or something like that.

I bet, if the truth be known, you have stacks and stacks of bootlegs, both original and collected from bootleg torrent sites, even The Royal Hub!!!! So, quit with the self-righteousness!!!

It wasn't a site. It was a community.

It was a Direct Connect hub, actually.

nope! do not! just enjoy poking a hornet's nest with a stick!

If that's true about you not having/listening to any bootlegs, then you are depriving yourself of the best reason to remain a Prince fan. But hey, whatever butters your muffin...

I loved the hub it was a great friendly community and a great source for goodies.

Lost count of how many pm's I sent to people here at the org and @ HQ telling them to shut the fk up! after they would periodically wrtie about it on a public forums.

After it was requested to close or else, from the purple police! I kept in contact with a few of the people who know who they are by email for a while,

but alas nowadays the hub is no longer required for live shows, the various sources and formats are vast throughout the net.

Here are pics of some hubbers and other random hub stuff.

.....and No the IP is no longer valid, and the hub doesn't exist.

Listen, One day we return to the P&P system, introduced by the legendary Grateful Dads, look it up: Post&Package of tape cassettes.

Why do that when we have the wonderfull technologies liek torrents, vpns, etc?

I'd rather have flacs instead of analog tape.

Even the TRH pics are traceable on IP addresses etc. Some are really naïeve..

Don't be ridiculous and learn how to spell!

You think Mr Web sheriff is going to be lifting IP addresses from the image metadata, trace these images to their source, and then what use that as base for a law suit? good luck with that one.

Oh well...I can't miss what I never had eh? But from reading the posts about it here it must have been a special place!
