Yeah school starts up again for me tomorrow as well, it snowed here while I was on vacation, I guess. Lots of ice and whatnot laying around the streets now.

I know what you mean there. Well, good luck with it!

The temperature actually wasn't too bad around here; there's no way it would have snowed. We're due for some snow tomorrow though, perhaps.

Man, half the genre teams have been pretty inactive lately:( Prog Metal has had a real kick along with the recent promotions in the last 5 weeks, so we have been hard at work lately, but wow, Krautrock hasn't moved for ages. A lot of astray collabs I presume We're always kind of active in the RPI team, but the flow of new bands are understandably slower than for PM.

Yeah, not much happening over at ZART, what with Blowie being inconsistent in how often he shows up to PA and not always having the time for genre team stuff.
James seems to have taken a non announced temporary break too, so he wont be doing much collab stuff either I imagine.

Olav on the other hand, is a champion.
That man is truly worthy of his Special Collab position, no doubt.
Despite being on Neo-Prog, he has even taken the time to help other genres, and he has added a few bands to PA for prog metal that I can't add (me being only 4 stars and having no adding powers).

He needs many clappies for his awesome work, much kudos to that man

Don't get me wrong, there are still probably great krautrock bands out there now makign new music, but it isn't as popular as it once was with new acts. metal on the other hand, well, one in every 3 bands tries to be a metal band, so you guys have to stay busy Yes but not 1/3 metal bands are prog metal bands though. That is true. I'm not sure if that theory has any merit or not. It may have some, but nonetheless there has been a trend of discontinuing activity on many fronts on PA lately.   Well bceause PA is just a shell of it's former self now, aside from this thread, the math rock thread, and the collab lounge, the rest of the forum isn't even worth the time of day any more.

It's easy to feel that way, but I think that attitude is the reason that it is that way.

If we had more people contributing everywhere in the forums, then it wouldn't be happening. I'm willing to help make things turn around.

I've considered volunteering my services on this team, but I'm not as much of an expert as either of those two are.

You certainly do know a decent amount, however.

Eh, Hartford is certainly no desirable city to live in.

It may have some, but nonetheless there has been a trend of discontinuing activity on many fronts on PA lately. I'm just sad to see the attitude of "PA's dying" kinda widespread. I think it's quite the opposite, and the surge of new promotions is a proof that it's more a shift of generations going on, which is, after all, only natural. And there are so many newbies around it sometimes baffle me, especially since I really feel kinda new myself.

POSTED AGAIN TO STRENGTHEN MORAL

Meh, neither is my city.

I actually enjoy my location for the time being, nonetheless.

Well, a lot of the older members in the last year have been dropping off a bit I suppose. We lost MikeEnregalia  (as a collab anyway) recently, which sucked, because he really does knows his sh*t and he's a great guy, but I think he's happier being a normal member of PA now I suppose. If James doesn't come back, I wont be surprised either, he doesn't seem that greatly interested in PA anymore.

I'm disappointed at Mike's abdication (for the same reasons as you) and I wouldn't be surprised if James didn't come back either.

And those definitely aren't the only two cases. I wonder why.
