If this has already been discussed since April 21 please do what you do, if not are we good? This site has been such a help to so many in allowing us to express our feelings, I would hate to come to it and its gone.

As far as I know, we are good. The Org got along well with Prince; I have no reason to think it doesn't get along with Prince's estate.

After April 21st I cant say that anything is certain...I dont know.

Nursev....why not re FB? This did come up in prince.org site discussion and they were pretty clear that this site isn't going anywhere.

But there is a LOT of stuff re Prince on FB...you are missing out.

at the risk of sounding judgemental, i don't think his family were anything like him. i doubt if they know or care much about the same things. You know, family is funny, family is rarely impressed by their own. The Jackson five had millions of fans but their dad was never happy with em. I doubt Prince's dad ever gave him props either, family dynamics are a mother.

Just makes it more sad that there has been no sign of a will. Prince would have known this about his family if anyone did and it's so hard to imagine everything was just left there with no direction from him given how hard he fought over the years. Who knows though, maybe he felt like they should have to work for it all...it sure was a messed up family dynamic.

well, being as the laws as are they are in MN, i've wondered if he did it on purpose, he may have been perfectly happy seeing his beloved state get a huge chunk of his hard earned fortune.

damn, why wasn't this on the main Prince stuff page??!! That's in my area and now that I know about it, i am planning on attending it! I was seriously contemplating starting a Petition to get the ENTIRE PURPLE RAIN film put out, direct sale with the X rating in place. That way nobody can bitch about the "pornography".

Shit howdy! Going!!! THANK YOU ACHARMED1!!

morningsong said:

^ did somebody get lost?

shit howdy I did! Sorry kids - just amped about the upcoming showing of PR with a talk given by the producers, etc of the cast. Hopefully we can get a full, unedited version of PR in the works! It could be good for the estate, as they will need to generate $$$.

If Prince couldn't get it shut down (and he did have an account here), then the estate ain't gon' do shit. Wasn't it Demarius who said he was on here "all the time"?

So we are safe from shutdown

Perhaps Prince enjoyed "spying" on the fans ?

I have to say if it was me, I think it would be pretty cool to know there is this website created and used by people whose common interest is adoration of me, although the threads could often be gossipy and critical.

--

Is there any other artist/band that has an independent online fan community like this? The only other 1 I have seen is for U2.

me too, but i can't see too many stars spending any time on a fanboard. I doubt if Springsteen ever looks at the ones about him. i couldn't see elvis spending a lot of time on one even if it existed. Doubt madonna or michael spent lots of time looking for what fans had to say. for some reason, i could see prince doing it. And, yes, i did notice a place in Chanhassen had visited my music site one time, i wondered if it was him or one of his reps looking for stuff to sue. i had a version of little red corvette, they never bothered me about it though.

I honestly am starting to believe he use to start stuff on here from time to time. Given his prankster side. There's a poster or 2 that would say some goofy outlandish stuff, nothng too vicious but just off and random, feathers would get ruffled, chaos would ensue and then that poster would just disappear, not banned, just poof vanish.

well, so many people have said, post-death, that he spent time on here, i can't doubt it. I mean, somehow, i just could see him being fascinated with what people thought. I can't see Springsteen being obsessed like that, or anyone else, they are all really too busy to be on some site for a long time.

And Prince wasn't busy? The way he rehearshed? The amount he recorded just because? His dating rooster? Running PP? His friends? Rasketball games attended and watched? Planning his wardrobe? Dealing with his own family? I'm sure he attended a birthday or baby shower or 2? Weddings, funerals? Or do you think he just sat in that big azzed building twirling around in a chair waiting on tour dates?

you just misinterpreted what i wrote, congrats. Prince was busier than any of them, i'm saying, in my opinion, all of them are too busy to be frequenting a site, but somehow, i just feel that prince would be interested enough to do it. Springsteen? I really don't even think he cares what the fans/foes think of him and it's not all good. He's got a lot of people who call him a hypocrite and a phoney but I can't see him even looking for those kinds of impressions, although maybe he does. I could see prince, for a reason i can't put my finger on, i could see him spending lots of time on here.
