Could you please also rename that category to "Keep it to yourself"? It does more justice to the frequentation ... my post will also be off topic there, so I'll rename it to "Shameless Plug". |

If this thread is for PF users only then it needs to be moved to Get The Word Out...

I can think of one or two more comments, Mike, which I would like you to consider carefully...
1) Yes, I did read your first post. I still nevertheless thought that you might be interested in seeing how I had graded the few albums from 2008, which I had heard, so I quickly knocked up an excel spreadsheet for you to comment on, if you wished. I did this to try and be constructive and helpful, and maybe add something of value to the debate. If I had believed beforehand that no-one would have been interested, then I wouldn't have bothered.
2) Even if you found my scant 'data' an irrelevance, you could have at least had the common decency to acknowledge me with a simple 'thanks', or even ignored what had been a polite post.
3) What you have basically said however, is that your opinions are not warranted, if you do not have a PF account. Whilst I personally find this to be rather rude and elitist, for me, it begs a number of other questions. As you will be aware, I have raised this issue in the abuse reporting thread, concerning whether there are/ should be areas of the general forum where as a PA member, I am not allowed to post. The answers I have received have been an unequivical 'no'. This means that you have no authority or mandate to ring-fence any threads or sections of this site for purely PF purposes, or indeed for any other account holders only, thereby marginalising ordinary PA members.
I am sorry that you found my above post to be unwarranted, or an intrusion into a private members club, but its not as if I have ever been denigrating towards your website, either now, or in times past.
I would finally just say to you that I genuinely thought I would get a bit of a flaying from the senior team concerning my outburst, but I only received one PM which was critical of my post, but several more in support of what I said. Please don't start making the use or otherwise of PF a divisive issue on this forum, Mike, but just accept everyone's opinions for what they are, irrespective of which medium they use.
Right, that's all I've got to say on this issue...I won't post in here again.

Just implemented two major changes which will make voting much easier:
1. You can now vote directly from the list on the left. Just select a rating from the dropdown - no need to open the rating editor popup for that (of course you can still use it to add further infos and tags). 2. The list on the left now has a "recommendation mode" which you can use to find albums that you haven't rated yet. It simply skips all albums to which you already assigned a rating. Any comments? Aside from calling me a "t**ser", please ... |

what????!!!!....
are you telling me that despite having been here for well over 3 years, that I'm ineligible to list the 2008 albums I have heard, in a PA thread entitled 'Top Albums of 2008....more votes needed!' because I don't have an account on another website???
well screw you, Mike, you self-important t**ser....

^ sorry, but this thread is intended for people who enter the data at PF ... I'd be glad if you entered the albums there, all you need to do is to log in and assign a rating to the albums.

Mike, its been a particluarly average year for releases so far, in the ones I've heard:
but I still have Andromeda, Seventh Wonder, Venturia, Soul Secret, Appearance Of Nothing & Suspyre to look forward to, so I'm hoping it will pick up...
anyway, here's the voting from the Norwegian jury....

Quick update: I tweaked the display a lot, the page should now be a bit easier to read:
http://progfreak.com/home/users.xhtml?path=top_lists The main genre label now contains up to two tags (for example "Magnificent Symphonic Prog Retro Rock!"), which makes the tag lists a bit shorter. I'll work on reducing them even more, with the goal being that no more than 3-4 tags are displayed for each entry. |

Yes I have-
I like technical music, but it's pretty, ummm technical.
They can sure play- but it's just not my cup of tea.

I haven't listened to it yet ... but it received good reviews in many magazines I read. I'm certainly not an elitist, and I'm glad for that ... it means that have a much wider range of styles to choose from.

I realized people didn't think it was prog, I was sad that they thought it was good. We are supposed to be elitists for Frith's sake! |

Yet another update: Switched to a two column layout instead of the former three columns. Reduced the required number of albums to one and the number of displayed albums to 5 ... looks quite nice now!
