Was Prince aware of the org?

Was Prince aware of the org when he was alive? Did he ever post anything?

Yes he was
The song "F.U.N.K" is proof
Back in 2007 Prince had all pictures of him removed from his fan websites.
The fans complained and Prince made that song in response

There was a story about the police seizing his laptop after he passed and the org was listed in his history section.

Oh wow that's interesting. Imagine going to a site that's all about you and reading about people's thoughts, feelings and critiques about your craft. Not only that but reading people's arguments about how great you and how other people think they are stupid because their opinions is this way about you.

He was pretty aware of the org when he sued it and turned this place upside down.

Some org'ers claimed to have org notes from him. He supposedly had some usernames he used.

He turned the entire Prince online community upside down, didn't he?

I'm sure there was a photo of a handwritten note in the police investigation saying something like tell Prince Org take these photos down.
.
I recall a thread here about a live version of Sticky Like Glue and soon after P's Twitter briefly shared or commented on it, so I'm sure him or his assistants were regular readers.

Any idea what those usernames are/were? It'd be interesting to know what org alias he add, and to mentally add them to the list alonglongside stuff like Jamie Starr, Camille, Peter Bravestrong etc

eye dont think U heard me . . .

Prince was on here at least periodically although the Org won't reveal the aliases. Even David Bowie was known to post on his most popular fan site under the name of Sailor at one time...

Yes, yes, and he posted. Even Tyka said he read the Org and loved the fans, and hearing from them.

How can he be around longer than the Org and not know about it? He knew about Housequake, too.

I've seen this before, I wonder if they were unflattering photos.

Cute to see Prince worrying about the wrong things.

Oh please. The man was an unreasonable control freak and didn't want his photos anywhere at any time. He wasn't fretting his ass over an "unflattering" photo.

Of course he didn't want his pictures anywhere at every time. Especially ones that he did not like. Not most of us do! But hey, he was a doggone wierdo, and unnaturally popular, that guy.

No, some others might have the tea, though.

It was probably something as simple as your avatar.


Newer fans might not realize how it was when he was here. He was the first artist to really utilize the internet... and one of the first to really wage war on the internet. He probably tried to shut down all critical appraisal of his work, too, but his lawyers probably told him he could only successfully challenge use of media, so he destroyed every website that had multimedia components. It was actually quite fortunate that the org has this mid-90s dated design format in that moment.

He was so annoying in that sense.

I think he was aware of Prince.org - yes. He tweeted a review of his Hit n Run part 1 album that was shared here. The traffic to that site - The Cocoa Diaries - subsequently went through the roof.

He seemed very pleased by the phrase "CREATIVE APPROACH" that appeared in the article.

Wish he was still with us now.

This site was so quick to judge back in the day.I guess it's human nature to criticize and be cruel sometimes
I remember back in 2006 when prince performed on good morning America.Fans would post pics from the performance and we're saying stuff like "he doesn't look so good" or "I guess he's not a morning person"

He had to see those.

The show where he wore the pink suit ? He did seem tired but I don't think Prince was preocupied by his appearance. He purposely wore outrageous vampire outfits and makeup in the early 90's.

I must confess I did not like the colors he chose for his suits during that time 2006-2007, those superbowl colors make me cringe.
