I am out of the discussion, this forum is OK for me...
But if you are looking for somethig different, visit the Brazilian "Sound Chaser Forum", where you can maybe find some different approachs to the same subjects...
If you can read Portuguese, of course...

Sorry, but it needed to be said. I think Aaron's right. And besides, just to restate it, I quit. Not because of anything anyone here said, but because I really need to concentrate on my private life now. Best of everything to you all.



I concur. I would like to see discussion on some rare groups. Although I'm certainly not claiming to be a know it all, I feel quite familiar with Yes, Rush, Genesis, Floyd, Gentle Giant, Van Der Graaf, the groups that come up all the time! And trust me, I love those groups... but I'd love to have some expansion upon that. I don't think jumping ship is the correct course of action, rather, that we need to alter our approach. I would love to see the mods jump in a little more often and steer conversation in the right direction. I'm tired of all the bickering... and I don't care if its done by newcomers or people who have thousands and thousands of posts, it needs to stop. What we have to keep in mind is that prospective prog fans read this forum, and we want to leave a good impression on them!

There are people trying to discuss obscure bands, but since few people know them, their topics get inevitably covered up by those related to Rush, Yes, Genesis, ELP, etc, simply because we all know about those bands.

sure i could start threads like these, but i am a better reader than poster, plus i have only been listening to prog for two years

so seriously, is there a better prog rock forum out there? because this one is turning into sh*t

Aaron

when this site first was up, i bet it was very seroius, but now, weve probly covered all the big prog issus. i came in, and it was already getting crazy(it could be partilly my fault, but more likly it was gdub!)

Talk about whatever you want and people are interested enough to want to contribute they will.If you see REAL bickering on this forum you are either younger than your profile suggests or very touchy!Having a right old difference of opinion is what lifts the mood of the forum,the one's who see victims and aggression and bullying should get out in the real world a bit more!

Aaron:

Your post is blatantly hypocritical: if you really think this site and its forums are ****, why bother placing your post at all?  Why not simply ignore the site and move on?

Seems like there is something else at work here...

Peace.

Smile 'Tis often unmitigated sh*te, yes -- but my best advice is to read the reviews (especially those of the Collaborators/prog reviewers -- their reviews are less likely to be rants or infantile -- but not always!) and listen to the sample MP3s to find new prog.Stern Smile

I think he meant being able to discuss lesser known bands, not just read more reviews about them.
