They promised me cookies, so naturally I joined, I'm still awaiting my fist cookie, but my brother told me you have to allow cookies on your computer to get them, so I probably have to reset my firewall to allow for the cookies to get through.
hope they are langevingers,. love them with a nice cup of tea.

Of course I come here mainly for the prog.
But what is so wrong about making friends with people on the Archives and having discussions with them? The main site is about the prog for me, but the board (and the VR in particular) is about the people

Just sign and check "keep me logged in to this computer."
They give you a cookie!

Came for the prog, stayed because this site is full of good folk with interesting things to say (mostly about prog, yes ... but also about non-prog music and non-music topics).
Most other web forums are filled with what I will politely call "sketchy people".

When I first visited the site (somewhere in 2004) I was really interested in having found such a web-site. I discovered lots of bands for which I had no clue about.
Actually, I re-discovered prog here after a huge break.
Recently, there were a lot of inclus-ion of bands ranked in proto-prog and prog-related which was somewhere a deviation for me.
Some of them are beloved bands of mine for more than thirty years (Heep, Purple, Led Zep, Santana etc.). So, since they are included, I like to talk about them and review their work as well.
So, today, I consult the site for non-prog bands as well.
Cheers.

Pretty much my story too - when I joined, the site was considerably smaller, so it was easier to chat to those people I hit it off with - as a result, I've made some firm friends around the world, none of whom I've actually met yet, but this is hopefully to change this coming summer.

No!!! Absolutely freakin' not!!!!!!!!! Who gives a hoot about prog?!?!
I am being here because I was expecting young underaged girls (and I rather like young girls  ). At first, I couldn't have cared less about the music but I was told they loved prog especially this bald ex-drummer that belonged to a boys band before he had his better days.
So I fell into the trap.
And I stayed.
Still don't care about prog
Oik Oik Oik The Gubby Little Oik. >>> dirty ol'man Pys Hastings is my mentor. 
So Thanks to ProgArchives!!!!!!!

let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword

the weird thing is, there ARE actually 4 votes for the No option... what the hell is that? I mean, if you want to go to a random site to make friends, why pick a prog-rock site..... it would be much easier in a pop or rap site... having in mind that we proggers are considered pretentious and snobbish....
