"As far as I know, nobody is getting the captcha when posting plain text without quotes, links, images etc."

I'm getting captchas even when my posts meet those conditions...

you are too generous David...way longer than that...  personally I think it was the backlash of the Torman Maxt affair that ended his dreams of earning money on the hard work of his volunteers haha. He was once involved and responsive.. in fact..  we got RPI due to his wisdom of breaking the trench warfare and stalemate that gripped the two warring nations in that battle royale. These days.. sh*t.. seems it is easier to reach Trump than it is M@X.

 Besides.. he's is... was I suppose.. a f**king Dream Theater fan. what does he know.. or care about prog. WinkWink  It was about the money man... LOL No wonder he's tired of it.  Move aside M@X.. kudos for all you did..now retire and get out of the way and let me and crackerjack band (you all know who you are) take this site to the next stage of evolution. This site has been stagnant... walking dead.. cruise control for years. It needs fresh leadership...new vision.. new approach... otherwise this site will continue its long slow ride to irrelevance and death.

You get my vote micky, but this is going to make looking at PA during my lunch hour really tricky, I mean all those photos and videos, I don't want other people in the office to know I'm looking at prog.


I wouldn't know anything about that sh*t Alan LOL When you are the big Mick.. you don't find porn.. porn finds you. It is a curse I know...

HOwever... I am making a campaign pledge that I will select someone who knows all about that sh*t to serve on the Council of 5.   They'll make sure you can find porn without losing your job.. or your wife haha

well since .. I will be the new site owner when M@X gets tired of running this site into the ground.. hopefully sooner rather than later.  There will be changes....Here is the Big MIck's plan...

1) fire all moderators with extreme prejudice... this forum self moderates better than any moderators this site has ever had.
2) terminate genre teams with extreme prejudice... that served its purpose years ago but its time has come and gone for the site.  Open admission for bands... still have to be S.C...  ie.. you have to show you know prog rock.
3) single topic music sites are so 2007... so we expand the site to other topics... and what topic does prog fan know and love almost as well as prog rock... it does go hand in hand with most..

welcome to Prog and Porn Archives...  Your ultimate Prog and Porn Resource...

and I'll be watching the website hits accumulate.. and ads? HAH!!!!   I dare even Genesis fan to use an ad blocker on my website..  the closest those losers will ever get to sex....

4) a long needed database project in which we invest the time to update this site to a different.. whatever.. whatever is needed to do tagging for albums.  NOte sure what needs to be done... I'd be the f**king owner... I wouldn't do the work.. I'd just sign the checks to make it happen.

5) oh yes....  my other major bone picking...  no f**king half stars for you reviews...  I do away with the stupid ratings period. It takes talent to review albums...  any f**king monkey had rate an album. Thus the whole process is f**king worthless and a joke...

6) on that note.. replacing the joke of a top album list with one worthy of the site.   A true top 100 list compiled not by fanboys and stupid ratings.. but by whatever f**king brain power is still left at this site.  Would have been an easier project back in the day.. but I think it can still be done


probably more than that....  but that would be a good start.  Yes...  the reign of the Big Mick was classic in the early days... if a reign of blood and terror was your thing.. but the second reign will be even better...

I'll save your f**king website....
 
Oh thank you, thank you! I miss a part on what anti-robots and other aliens system you'd replace captchas with, but apart from that Shocked this is a program Clap


My campaign pledge is get rid of the captcha sh*t.... ON DAY 1.... consider it like the Republican strategy with Health Care.  I'll repeal captcha and worry about the consequences later...  it works for our f**king politicans.. and the sh*t heads that vote for them.. it will work for you all

I'll save your f**king website....

Also add:
  • a section for us wetbacks (sorry Latinos or Hispanics) to discuss prog in our native tongue that way we can also bitch and moan about the site and others will not know what we are talking about.
  • Remove any reference to the Fab Four being "prog" Dead, worthless krapp.
  • create a girls only section...really don't know why, but whatever....LOL
  • No noobs can post till a) they pass a prog test b) been a member for 1yr c) they send nude pics of girlfriends, wifes, mistress, "the other woman" to the porn section of the site.


I'll do you one better Jose... I'll offer you the token minority position on my council of 5. I'll make you VP of wetback outreach, and VP of anything and everything SWilson related LOLClap

I tried posting DIO's Angry Machines album cover in What Are You Listening to Now? thread.  Rejected multiple times.  For some reason, CAPTCHA does not believe that I am not a robot.  Might have something to do with the Angry Machine on the album cover....which is even angrier since it can't be posted.

it could be gone as soon Scott as the payment clears...  it is up to you all.  Don't be that forumite... don't go Republican on us.. don't bitch about how broken the system is.. yet continue to elect the fools the broke it.

write M@X.. tell him to SELL.. SELL... SELL... 

if you are reading M@X.   Because I like you and do owe you my greatest and most cheerished victory over Ivan.  I'll give you s special offer. Sell to me by Labor Day and I'll toss in a case of your favorite beer..  though I suspect you are a Budweiser kind of guy haha...  and the best part.. the phone number to a certain sex crazed... if completely unstable redhead with a penchant for kinky sex when in a good mood and tossing pots and pans with great accuracy at you when in a bad mood.

Act now man... hear the cries of the forumites here...   they beg for salvation.. SELL.. SELL ...SELL.

I knew I could count on your vote and support Bartek.  Heart you know I love ya man... they were great times we had building the site... and we built one hell of site for those years. Must see forum viewing to see who got gunned down while one was asleep.. or who blew a tire at some forum outrage. Most of those I suppose were at my hand.. directly or via my capos in the Art Rock hit squad...

now it is time to bring back the great times...  now we need to build it anew...

LOL fail... you ain't cut out for the Council...  Heart

you should have asked if you got a complementary gun and a knife...   or had to provide your own

which is why the Council of 5 will be heavily stacked with the former AR hit squad. They get first dibs and offers. We knew how to kick ass, drink beer, chase women (and men!), have fun and yet no one did harder dirtier thankless work for this site.

I would post the *haha* face followed by the *blushing* one, but I can't because of the captcha.

LOLEmbarrassed

again man...  I can't promise you Velvet or Shred... but I can promise an end to the madness of Captcha.

write M@X.. tell him you need some Big Mick and now.  All of you... write him..

and M@X?  PM me when you are ready to retire and we'll talk brass tacks and nails..... you don't want this or need this stuff man.  Retire with dignity before the masses really get pissed and come after you with torches and pitchforks with me at the forefront. You don't want that. Retire gracefully and with dignity befitting all you did for the site, but it is time you went out to pasture.  The site needs energy and a vision.     I'll give you a good send off...  micky style with all the booze, broads, and blow you can handle.

I have to admit that I support the Make The Shred Great Again platform.  I may have to shop around for another candidate.  :P
