There is a profile for "RainbowChildren" but no posts since 2002. What makes you think that was Prince?

The username "rainbowchild" is still active.

My son was born in April 2001 so there were lots of late night feedings and I used to be an Org fend.

Summer of 2001 he would pop up late at night 2:00-4:00am and he was saying the usual crypic shit which made me call Bullshit. Anyway one night he said here is the track list for the new album and it was every track on the Rainbow Children album.

Needless to say when I joined Facebook I discovered he joined as well under about five different profiles other than Prince and he would lurk on Facebook. He dropped a PM to me in 2014 that he was going back to WB and the album was going to be called Art Official Age and I asked what about PectrumElectrum and he said I dunno maybe they will let both be released.

Shee'it. I hope he didn't read my alternative 5 minute The Martian script. (literally only typing because I am drunk now, don't let it in)

Ironic that he was showing up daily to this site for years, amidst frequent comments that he was out of touch, stand-offish and hated his fanbase, suing them, etc. And he was right here, interacting with us daily, like it was his day job

Wait, aren't we overreacting here? The LotusFlow3r person who made this comment worked with Prince for like 2 months... OK, so we know he monitored the Org in connection with the roll out of this own temporary site. But it's a huge leap to now say he's been spending the last 20 years going to the Org on a regular basis.

Keep in mind that the source of all of this is a person who also thought up until this month that Starfish & Coffee was a song wrote for Muppets Tonight in 1997.

Perhaps we're taking a small nugget of information about a short period of time and reading a bit much into it?

Naw. I wasn't implying 20 years (though I guess it could be possible), but more like 2-3 years that I'm fairly confident of. Not long after 4/21, someone outed a particular screen name on this site as belonging to him. I had suspected the same some months back, and was already aware that screen name was showing up here on a very regular basis. I'm going on this information more than I'm going on LotusFlow3r's information.

LOL, that's gonna take a minute, too busy right now. I'll get to it in the next few weeks (before this thread chills out)

K....we'll wait

I scanned the printout - do I have to post it as a photo & do all that photobucket nonsense??

Upload it to your facebook. You can upload but keep privet if thats what you prefer.

You can get a url that way if you dont want to go through photobucket and hopefuly it will keep its quality.

Thanks for the tip!

I have only been posting since 2013 but before that, I lurked for years , probably since 2009 and I remember some of the "key players" of the Org- people who were on here all the time. And I can't believe they're not showing up now. I won't list their user names , but it does make me wonder if some of (a lot) of them could have been Prince? But they would post pictures of themselves in the photo threads and they were "normal people" so I just wonder if it could have been so involved as to him creating characters with photos and fake back stories. Maybe they've just left the org but I do find it strange that some of the people who were on here religiously are now nowhere to be found.

They probably just moved on & got busy with life I just can't see P bothering with fake pics - he was curious, not the most bored mf on the planet

I´ve been on the org since day one, during the black and purple days, but for some reason that whole clique-thing of the old org days was never my cup of tea.

Some have come back under new names, some have left the org for good, some are on Facebook and continue their Prince related discussions over there instead of here.

I like to keep most of my Prince related discussion here on the org and not FB.

I miss some of those old orgers around here but I also enjoy the many new faces and younger orgers that have joined recently or in the last couple of years.

I´m surprised to see that the website developer in question knew so very little of Prince´s catalog and his classic albums.

I mean, how can you become his website developer, spend so much time with him and not know the Sign of the Times album´s songs? How can you think that Starfish and Coffee was written for the Muppets show in 1996? Or show up at work with a lipstick stain on your collar? Working for Prince, of all people?

So far I´ve really enjoyed what his co-workers and bandmembers posted or wrote but the posts of this guy sound a bit odd to me.

I still appreciate him sharing his memories with us but I have a few "shaking my head" moments when I read his posts.

I remember when he was on the ONA tour and I started a song request thread, asking for him to perform 7 and Don't Play Me and I put the date of the show I was attending. Lo and behold, he played both songs that night (and neither song was performed regularly on the ONA tour). [Edited 5/23/16 15:09pm]

THAT is fucking COOL!!!!

He was so kind. What loss. It just makes me want to cry.

Wow, that´s quite an honor, considering that he told Kevin Smith that he would not play 7 anymore because Mayte was no longer there.

OMG, super frustrating to go through all this for an impostor! Hope this was the best way to present it, I put 2 pages per pic so read like pages of a book - L to R, then down... they friggin' better be in order of the conversation, LOL. Happy reading & wondering I thought I could fit more onto single pages by cropping, so the URL & date are only on that first page. Those messy boxes are the symbol, they didn't translate well (David was DavidEye before he changed his last name to Milagro, which now that I think about it, really does NOT seem like a detail P would retain AT ALL )... When David tells me to check my email, he let me know this was likely one of the many impostors that used to come on back in those days. & had I known what that "doi" thing was about, I would have asked: "Umm... yo ass watches cartoons??"

I wondered did he checked out the old JW threads that would pop up ever so often ...?

I use to lurk from time to time in the NPGMC Chat room and one day he came in late at night and asked what song we'd like for him to perform and I said Led Zepps 'Whole Lotta Love', and the next concert I attended he performed it. I was a bit weary at first, when he first started performance I was in awe at how great it was coming along. He knew who I was, so when he debuted the live video at Paisley Park, he saw me there and when I turned to look at him, he was watching me watching the video.

Let me just say THANK YOU for suggesting that song!!! I caught a few performances of that one (in at least 2 shows I think) & he sounded AMAZING, I wanted him to keep it in his setlist forever!! Excellent choice, so friggin' glad he took that suggestion! What name did he go under at NPGMC?

The same name here: SheLovesMeNot

Nooo, what name did HE go under?

That night he was PaisleyPark7. I did have one more chat with him, he was eating a bowl of soup and he'd just returned from Toronto attended Manuela sisters wedding. I didn't chat much I was weary of my words because we share a few mutual friends and from time to time I'd see him at a show, backstage, and at times he'd come relax at our table.

Gotcha... thx for sharing!
