Everybody can be beated, there's always somebody who knows more than you...But this is not the ultimate fighter to search for submission.

Perish the thought
I never enter into a discussion expecting to beat my "opponent" into submission, or even expecting them to concede or back-down - just getting them to accept that my position exists is a major victory around here

Of course PA is biased. There isn't a forum out there or a website out there or anything that ISN'T biased.

I had a long reply, but we are getting of topic again.

BTW: Boo boo, not sure if your rant was in Banter or DDD forum, because you rant about how biased and elitist we are in more than one place.

But as you have admited, it's not a PA problem, it's the taste of the vast majority of Prog fans here in USA or China, and your rants are about how biassed is PA.
Remember, PA ranking (if this ranking even matters) is made by the visitors, so it's noot PA who decides which album is N° 1 but the visitors.
It's really tiresome to read constant protests about the reviews by a person who haven't done a single one or about the Collaborators and Administrators by a person who has made less than 500 posts in 5 years, and not because lack of tme, because he has been administrator of other forum(s).

Nice words about PA, sadly you don't repeat them on other sites

Yeah they have a strong following among prog fans, and on ProgArchives especially.
I can't really bare to read any of that sites reviews though. It's full of middle aged elitist snobs who pretty much write off of every other genre and still don't know how to write a coherent sentence. |
So..........You rant about PA here and everywhere.

You need to visit Music Banter again, I think highly enough of PA that I actually have a link to it in my signature. It's a site I always recommend to people who are trying to get into prog.
Also, I don't like this site because of the reviews, I like it because of it's huge archive of prog bands and it's inclusion of streamed files for almost every band which makes it a great site for discovering lesser known talent.
I have absolutely no problem with the site itself. It's only some of the members I have mixed feelings about.

I cant undrestand why you fight. I love "Symphonic" and other genres. Why should i biased? what is benefit of this act? Maybe some people like to forced their opinion to others but i think they are sick.
I'm sure Ivan is honest guy and he is a real Prog specialist.

Thats poor booboo if you are saying that you lose my respect - theres no way the reviews here are less intelligent than other sites. There are some well informed reviewers here who put a lot of effort into the reviews. Some reviews I write take hours and are well thought out. I have read some incredible reviews here with very thoughtful views, well constructed arguments and i trust these PRs in particular.
Booboo if you dont like it here, that don't let the door hit your backside on the way out.
