What the hell is PF?

^ that's a little bit unfair to people in poorer countries who may not be able to afford new hardware. Having said that: If you have the opportunity to upgrade you should definitely do so ... you'll find that many websites load much faster if you use a half way decent rig with current browser software (perfect examples would be last.fm, myspace.com and progfreak.com).

For some of my fellow countrymen it might stand for (the late) Pim Fortuyn, but I'd rather stick with Pink Floyd.

It's a pretty cool website. I find some of the options like "prog by style" tags to be a bit unnecessary, but since people use them, I can't criticize them.

It's still a very creative site and works very well on being accurate on how good/bad an album and its tracks are.

A suggestion is bring an option like a 'tilt', where after reviewing each separate track, you want the overall rating to be higher/lower than the tracks combined. Maybe there's an absolute masterpiece of 35 min and a poor track of 5 min, and your average would suffer when you can just ignore that 5min track.

Thanks for the feedback. I know what you mean in that last paragraph ... let me say just two things about it:

- you can submit an album rating on top of the track ratings to raise the album average
- the track length is used as a factor in the calculation of the album average from the track ratings, so a 5 minute track will have very little weight compared to a 35 minute track.

^ that's because most users don't fine tune their tag assignments ... I'm still not sure how to combat that. One possibility would be to introduce a (very simplistic) voting system on the tag assigments themselves. Or rather, make it a system to rate the skill/experience of certain users for certain tags, like saying "I trust user xyz completely when it comes to prog-by-style", or "I don't trust user xyz at all when it comes to prog-by-style".

As a starting point the system could lessen the weight of tag assignments as long as the user only assigned a low number of them, or if the user doesn't vary the level at all.

A website that is slow to navigate on, where no matter how many times I put my password, next time I try to login I have to put it in again.... A webiste that is an excellent idea but that could have a lot of improvements in design...

More likely post-folk. As hipster as it comes.

I've used it as ProgFreak around here, but at school me and some of my friends use the abbreviation PF for something entirely different. Basically when we flip someone off in our pockets (Pocket Finger), we call it PF
