Prog Threads We Need Never Start Again

Any thread that mentions one or all of the following word:

Great, let's make new members so nervous about posting that we only hear from the same old members over and over again.

What do you expect new members to do, read every single thread ever started on the site before they post anything? It seems like people get annoyed far too easily. A symptom of being on the internet too much is when the frustrations of daily life start to get taken out on anonymous strangers online. If someone starts a thread that does not interest you, or even annoys you, guess what? You don't have to read it! Start a discussion that interests you.

It's like going to a party, sticking your nose in other people's conversations, and then getting annoyed if it doesn't interest you.

Here's a guideline for newbies: ignore the bitter and cynical old farts, talk about music, share, learn, and enjoy yourselves.

Personally, I've seen rather enough "Best Album" / "Best Band" of the seventies threads.  How many times can we debate the differences between Yes, Genesis and Pink Floyd. 

On the other hand, I think we need more threads about marmosets.

my favourite - and if I may paraphrase Warren Zevon who wrote the song
"poor poor pitiful progger me. "

I love AC/DC and Gentle Giant. But I also love you all

Or I can't hold myself from re-stating my self evident truths. THEN, AND ONLY THEN , will I say goodbye for good. At least for a good litlle while. But while I'm here, I ...........   "I'm taking my turntable and going home" I thought for sure that prog music lovers would be open to all sorts of music, and I can't understand why they would not be interested in show how a Rap DJ can use prog records for sampling.   "My feelings got hurt", don't you know that it hurts me to think that you cannot see I am right . Please agree and put an end to your inadequacies    or any variation thereof... I could quote a part of a famous George Carlin bit where he gives an example of how a certain anglo saxon word is used when one sees one has lost the arguement

Easy... whatever thread that have Mars Volta, Porcupine Tree, Muse, Coldplay and Radiohead proclaimed as the best bands in prog rock... you can take all of them to whatever site else those should be the best alternative bands... but not prog... please..!!!

How about the administrators and moderators begin to enforce rules against making these threads for a certain amount of time and see how much original content begins to spawn? EDIT: No more threads about Genesis either.  They're terrible. Genesis or the threads about Genesis? Then there's the griping about prog related artists being here...
