I snuck this post in as a sleeper cell (Akmed by praised) and I'm surprised by the response.
I would like to see the album ratings to include half stars. For example 3.5 stars instead of rounding off to 4.
That said, I wouldn't change a thing.

I miss the passion this place used to have.... if I could change one thing...  I'd change that. People cared.. cared enough to succumb to their more base internet instincts haha While the forum is a much polite and friendly place.. well... that is BORING!!!!  There was a certain air of danger in the past about promoting this.. or pissing on that ..and that was that someone was going to try to shoot you down or put a knife in your back.  good times man.. you learned to be quicker and nasterier or you left or became a wallflower.

I know which is better.. the forum is a better place... but that is not the same as being a vibrant exciting place either.
I feel your pain micky, but confrontations always become personal. Not by yours truly, at least I don't take them personally, because I view this type of personal backlash criticism as childish and try to keep in mind that I can only engage people, who know anything about prog, on this site. In other words, these are not discussions that you will have with the average man on street, and I'm engaging with the best. 
But Kumbaya seems to be the watchword so Dodge City is shut down. At least for now.

I do remember the heated debates all over the place 4-5yrs ago.....Mostly funny to read and I would participate every once in awhile. Where's Henry Plainview when you need him LOL
The Beatles are indeed a sticky topic, Jose, as I do give them their creative just deserts. I just can't listen to them anymore.LOL

They are no more creative than say Kanye, Lady Gaga or Madonna.....One Direction Dead had better vocals too. Beatles sounded just that, amplified beatle bugs.

Sure, make a joke out of it, dimmy. 
 Fact is that there are illegal copies being sold there and that they are reported to e-Bay. Sometimes with, sometimes without success. Bottom line here is that they appear in ads on every band page on PA. Bands love the site for that, I can tell you.

you know the score.. presumably better than most I would assume

Talk to M@X..  he is the only one that can something about that.  What can any of us do about the ads... other than block them.

We could have a list of better concept albums, no? Just like that of the "classic period". That would be fun.

I wish he would. He seems to be ignoring it - that's why I throw it out here now.

I love the fact anyone can come on here and do a review, that's what attracted me to here although all the information is the number one reason I frequented here before signing up.
I don't like that you have to be an official reviewer to be able to edit your reviews and that there's a seperate place for Collabs reviews and non-Collabs reviews. There are so many non-Collabs who write so much better than myself and know so much more about Prog than I do, it just seems wrong. Sure you might get promoted if you ask someone or if someone asks for you to the higher ups but everyone's opinions should hold the same weight in my opinion.
Oh and it's kind of funny how when you do something wrong you get a stern warning from above like we are children. Yes I have acted accordingly on here many times but there's such a lack of respect from those who monitor the site excluding Guldbamsen who unlike the few i've dealt with over the years  actually treats people with respect.

Well I would have said the implementation of public commenting but PA seems to have beaten me to it.
