Important Note About PA Prog Olympics

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   I've gotten some e-mails from people saying they can't vote. This isnt me, its the site from when they switched this over to the Just For Fun section (but this is serious business!!!) 

lol anyways. The Votes represented dont matter really. It could be 1 million to 20, but if the 1 million dont POST, it will not matter. Please note that you must POST your choice for it to count. I will tally the posts at the end of the week and make a final assessment.

Why am I doing this? To prevent skewed voting that would ruin the integrity of what I am trying to do. I want to know that a real person with a real forum account who actively participates in our discussions to be voting, and voting only once per poll.

I am also hoping this might spur some discussions about some of the lesser known bands and albums, and inspire others to expand their prog collection. 

Also, Suggestions are more than welcome. I am at the moment doing this alone becuase I thought it would be something fun and unique that everyone(or most everyone) could become involved in rather than the dreary and dull, so what are you listening to now threads that no one reads or pays attention to.

I am hoping to make improvements on this for the 2nd edition and hopefully we will also get better turnout on albums than we did for this one.

	I think it's a great idea!
	You've just had a heavy session of electroshock therapy, and you're more relaxed than you've been in weeks.

	I'll be happy as long as I win. I'm just kidding. I'm going to try some of the lesser known bands in the Olympics. Great idea!
