Cool place to hang around, have a good laugh every once in a while and share (dirty word, I know haha) your passion.

The years 2015-2019 have been the most enjoyable so far...less activity indeed but respectful behaviours by most, low snobbery and almost inexistant cliques. A good thing if you ask me.

One thing that was frequent and made me laugh in the past was when a member was starting to take himself very seriously after a promotion (poor dude, it's only music). They don't promote much nowadays. A good thing if you ask me..

and to 'participate' is good enough, Tony.

Cheers PA!

This is a very interesting thread, I’m just a noob at this point. Crazy to think when I was just 4 or 5 years old people were still here writing reviews like they still do today, and that many of them are still frequent visitors.

even crazier is thinking of all the kiddies we got to know when the site really got rolling that are now..  hahah.. starting to lose their hair and thinking about popping little blue pills.

It was about that time wasn't it.. 2001.. 2002 when internet forums blew up didn't they.  I was a member of the old DDD site and headed up the prog section.. and we starting hearing about this other site. Prog Archives.

Checked it out. .seemed cool.  but much like the good old days here we had a very large and diverse membership and had already really connected with some of he people there so I stuck around there.

until one day a certain Peruvian master of blue font came by to critique our work.. we immediately hit it off.. ie we starting arguing and disagreed about most everything.  I guess I made an impression. He told me the site needed some help filling out and evaluating the database and I would be a good fit.  Knew my music very well and had the right attitude..  was a knife fighter and didn't take sh*t. A thick skin.. for already the site was rather rough. I joined up in 2004.. and I just couldn't join quietly..  I took the alter ego of a hot chick who was looking for lonely proggers to help explore the music. It started getting a bit too heavy..  I had one of the collabs chasing me across the forum wanting some of my fine ass.. so I took a break and disappeared  (still have that account though which I break out for some trollery when the urge hits me). Took about a year or so to wrap up what I had going on with DDD and pass the teams I had.. the prog and bass sections off to others and finally joined as Micky..  

Much like Raff..   this site has really been a part of my life. Of course Raff and I met here during our time on the Symphonic Prog team. .and last month celebrated 13 years together.. but even beyond that. Even before all the great music I discovered here. I really have met some wonderful people.. some of whom have gone beyond cyber friends and become very dear close personal friends in real life.

'Dark Ages' is on Stormwatch. Get your albums right, particularly in a progressive discussion. LOL

There are so many quotes on this post, it's getting hard to tell who posted what. Tongue

No doubt about it: This Was a great post!

Well, Nothing Is Easy, and if were just Up To Me, it would only be a Sweet Dream; but With You There To Help Me it was Nothing At All.

2004, not 2005. I wrote that I joined in 2005 - at the end of July, to be precise (as my profile says). Indeed, when I joined, the site was already thriving. Sorry about the typo! I meant to write 2004, but only now did I realize that I had got the date wrongEmbarrassed.


That makes sense now...more sense than I'm apparently capable of in my posts, these days Confused
