Status update:

MMA is currently (last 3 weeks) experiencing a major drop in traffic from GOOGLE  search results. It's an un-explainable issue that PA dealt in the past too. But as far as I remember, time is the solution. Every indicators points too that we should get back to an increasing traffic line soon. Last positive stats early MAY 2010 were 2000 visitors per day. Let's all be patient. Things will settle soon.

I think further concentration on this is important, maybe Facebook and Twitter integration.

No one has to leave, each site specializes within it's own genre, there is a lot of crossover with prog, but that is to be expected. I like the way PA/MMA(MMA more so actually) are set up, I think it is unique enough to have a site for most major genres. I'd like to see an electronic music website though.

Nice one Clap!  I'll have a look at this as soon as I get a minute.  Might have to think of a new name - don't think Proggy Pogo will go down too well on a metal site!!

Last Thursday there were problems with Macafee around the world--apparently an upgrade recognized a regular Windows program as a virus.  Lots of companies--including mine, and even Intel--were affected, so perhaps it's something related to that.

Sounds like scareware... if you download the software, that's when the virus gets onto your computer. If anyone gets this type of message... use your own antivirus software to check... don't download the scareware!! Apologies if I'm stating the obvious.

Scott, I had a similar occurrence on Friday as well, but here at PA.  Some fake anti-virus warning popped up and I was immediately locked up and overtaken.  I was here in the forums when it happened.  I simply turned over the computer to the tech guys to check out and moved to another computer, I have no idea how to fix that stuff.

No warnings about the site from my work computer, which has a very strict antivirus setup - governmental style.

And still it became the no.1 resource on the net. Seems like MMA is much better prepared to start developing into a great resource and community; actually I think its main problem is not the "unfinished" status, but the really strong competition (which was not the case for PA).

All the more reason to try and make it the best possible website it can be. Smile
