^The sign gives me the impression that the location has experienced enough vacillation and crudeness of urination that a sign was deemed requisite.

If this could only be solved with precision and elegance like urinating in Japan

You could probably make a static backup of the site by recursive wget.

I don't see a petition as having any impact beyond the informal petitioning that is occurring in this and similar threads. But it might be time to inquire about a purchase. Edited by Tapfret - June 05 2017 at 11:55 |

Yeah, it can be a real pain for sure. Last night I didn't even bother reposting a message I started after it was lost. A few times I have copied the message just in case but I wasn't expecting a captcha again and so I forgot.

^ that's a good sign at least. I hope he's taking note of the dwindling participation on the site and develops a plan to give this site the much needed boost that it needs. Personally i think this is just an uncomfortable bump in the road and once things are ironed out, the masses will return to a smoother more stream-lined site. In the meantime, this is still an outstanding resource in my world :)

Got one today myself. As for things that trigger it...emoticons, quotes, and pasting seem to be the major hot buttons for the robot test. (at least for me) Not doing those things has decreased the frequency a bit for me, but still...not being able to do those things easily is annoying.

What could actually be done? Is there a way to somehow make a copy of the site and put it on another domain if it goes down or something like that? Would writing some kind of petition that we could all sign and PM to M@X be worth it? I can't believe he's given up, he still logs in regularly.

^ Wow. The site is hemorarrhaging and no one is jumping in to stop it. I guess the owner has given up or just doesn't care any more. RIP, PA. I hope some provides life support soon before it's too late :

You've perfectly summed up how I feel about this whole matter. I don't care if I have to click on street signs when I post, but this site has just felt really dead for the past month or two. It's been a week since I've been on here and, just coming back now, I can't say that there's anything I really miss, so I think I'll be following suit with David and saying adieu to PA altogether.

Personally i never have a problem navigating the main site except sometimes the page is determined to go to a certain spot on the main page. However the forum section is quite irritating at times. Sometimes i have to refresh up to 20 times to post and there is no rhyme or reason as to why. The robot thing has only made it worse but is also random. This includes personal mail. It rarely wants me to respond to an email or post but creating a new one usually works out better. The site is just buggy overall. I still have faith in this site but it's clear that some major renovations are due. M@X should at least start a thread here to boost up moral and explain what the deal is. No one wants to hang out on a ship when the captains gone missing during the storm.

^ It happens to me most of the times. I don't post nearly as much as before now, also because there's not much being discussed. Unlike before, I can see every new post on the "Latest forum posts" when I visit the site in the morning.

Is it still as frequent as people are making it out to be? I'm logged into the site and frequently making posts most days, and I haven't copped the Captcha in ages now, with the only exception of when I've gone to re-edit a post, and I completely expected it would play up then.
Unless anyone knows if there's particular things that set it off more than others, but I don't seem to be doing anything different than I normally would on the site. |

Yup the robot sh*t is tiresome, and we all wish M@X would come to his sense... And yes, the women thread is definitely not the bestthread around, but if you're stopping at that, then don't let the door hit you in the back after you slam it when leaving this place  The quicker the better  |

^ The forum here might be dying but the database remains an invaluable resource. Immensely huge and relatively complete. I think if I could keep only one thing on the whole Internet that would be it. The Mahavishnu Orchestra clearly have their place here and besides imo it's better to have a broad view on the term progressive and include just about every progressive artist with released material than to narrow it down if you claim to be "The Ultimate Prog Rock Resource".
Seeing the comments on this thread predicting the demise of the forum, I tried a few other music forums and have found nothing that comes close to being a place I can call home like here. Some obviously have a lot more members and are consequently much more active but I think the average of people who know their sh*t is much higher here. PA's community I think is also significantly more interesting. Besides, the biggest forums are censored like hell; such a pain in the ass to have half of your posts (not even potentially offensive or anything) censored by moderators
 . Long live PA's, hope you'll get back in shape soon  . |

It's become obvious. Nobody seem to give a sh*t about this site anymore. That's what I've been hearing. Most of the bands in the data base aren't really prog bands. I mean what is The Mahavishnu Orchestra doing here? Some of the other sites are definitely more focused. When I first came here I went whaaaat? I'm pretty much done with this robot sh*t and juvenile why don't girls like prog threads.

^What is called "Search Robot" on the forum home page, is called "Search Engine" on the Active Users page.
A guest is numbered among the Search Engines/Robots when the content of the OS/Browser column on the Active Users page starts with "Search Engine". In any other case of an active user which has no user name and is not logged in anonymously, we have a Guest. Anyway, those Robots are not logged in, so they cannot post, so, according to my simple man's logic, there is no need of CAPTCHA's whatsoever. |
