Sorry, but it's an anti-spam measure to ensure you are a real prog fan and not a spammer. You can only open threads in Welcome Newbies and Welcome Artists. HOWEVER, once you have made 5 posts in existing threads you can open new ones yourself.
What?

The one he did about unusual breasts of the orient still exists if my memory serves me well.

I like to start 30-40 topics and polls a day, usually about safe topics like porn, drugs and illegal downloading.

Be sure to treat Belgians the same way you do Samoans.

If you are willing to be active in the batch of topics you start that's likely OK.
Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

There are those who have been banned permanently for flagrant misuse of the ability to start new threads. As you would expect this is extremely rare and would necessitate the pollster initiating an extremely large number of frivolous and/or inappropriate threads over a considerable period of time despite receiving warnings to desist etc

But how can we determinate if a poll is silly or not? We should ask the forumites... WITH A POLL!!! MWAHAHAHA!

I dunno if that's such a good idea....perhaps we should make a poll about it.
I am currently digging:

Hawkwind, Rare Bird, Gong, Tangerine Dream, Khan, Iron Butterfly, and all things canterbury and hard-psych. I also love jazz!

Please drop me a message with album suggestions.

Controversy is alright, if people can be civil about it - and acknowledge the fact that we all can be right all the time, and that there are people here who don't exactly speak perfect English, come from The US or Europe - and that that sometimes will colour their perspectives in our discussions. 
Etiquette being that we accept the other dude behind the screen, up to a certain point of course, but that is bottom-line the delio.

If there is controversy surrounding a topic that usually means it must matter in the scheme of things...

Maybe the subjects of the threads can also enter in sight.
For example, launching non-music and controversial threads (politics, economics, morals, etc...) doesn't sound like a good idea.

Understood you're immersed in this website now, but sometimes days-off for your trip, coffee, sports or something are needed methinks. Wink
