10 reasons why Progarchives is best site online

Like I said, all of them I've ever frequented.  I doubt you'd be familiar with most of the sites in question.  MMA is one of them, though.

alright alright we get it...site has come under some criticism so you need to represent the other side.
Wasn't one thing I said how some people seem to defend what is just a music site a little too much?

I kid I kid!
You didn't think about me when you said "friendly community" did ya?

This place is still a good source for finding bands. Wikipedia and the general internet is still good but I continue to find this is generally the best place. Look at the "Top Album" for 2011 list! That alone could give me like 200 bands to try in nice organized list.

The community is generally good, though I have noticed for a progressive music site, (like most fans) prog fans are generally quite closed minded. Oh, and also being progressive minded there are a lot of people who need to "prove" themselves to the most alternative/different/non conformist to ideas...but that happens.

Anywho, not to be mean but if you are 100% sincere ACR you are a little too attached. Sorry. It's a great place to find new music, and is generally friendly, but  just a website!

So censorship is good?

I agree with most of your list, but I couldn't disagree more with this.

...Clicked on my profile there Dean?
Watcha spyin on man?


And yeah the whole swearing thing I will also disagree with. Not like it being censored is some huge deal but I do think it kind of silly. Well, not only is it just not that bad but...well I think all of us at 13 years old knew most of the words already.
Also as someone pointed out even with the ****** it's not like it's any less worse
If I call you a b*****d, I still did it and you know what I said

And I'm first in the list, so I win most congenial.

Please, tell me which thread and discussions we've shut-down locked down Colin, because I know there have been one or two that we let run until they got acrimonious and petty before having little choice but to close them, yet the way you all go on it makes it sound like we're doing this on a daily basis.

You're too sweet. At least you are until I find out  a) what Second Life is and b) what a verson of Fiji is...

He'd be a doll if he didn't spend so much time of that stupid Prog Archives.  What's his thing with "Crossover" anyway?  Is he "into" that sort of lifestyle?
