Has to be someone who does NOT come around any more. There are quite a few old friends who moved on, but I remember an RPI fan and friend named Ryan....Jimmy Row. I also miss Bob's presence. Which old timers do you most miss? Go all the way back to the early days if you wish! |

I could name off a bunch... old friends from the genre team days.. forumites like TLC that gave this forum real character and never ending sources of forum drama. David did hit the nail on the head last week in that other thread.. there is a lack of personality in the forums these days. We did have that in spades. however if I had to name one... it would be Antoine who we tragically lost all too soon. For me, the forum never was quite the same without him.  ------------- The Pedro and Micky Experience - When one no longer requires psychotropics to trip |

Assaf would have been my next choice. A nicer man you will never meet.. and he always know just what ablums to suggest to you, based on what you like, not what he thought you should like (ie what he liked) It would be great to see him come back some day but I think real life got him. I'm not even sure if he is still in the states or not. Haven't heard from him in years. ------------- The Pedro and Micky Experience - When one no longer requires psychotropics to trip |

I miss the atmosphere rather than any specific people. Though things in the "good old days" were often fraught with controversy and strife, there was also a genuine sense of caring for each other that has gone almost completely missing. Case in point? The birthday threads. Nowadays hardly anyone wishes other members happy birthday, even if we've been around here for years. A forum is a community of people, after all, and this sense of community is something that - when things go the way they should - goes well beyond the fake friendship of Facebook and other social media. Now all I can perceive is indifference, and this makes me a bit sad. |

yeah.. funny. You mentioned that yesterday and was very true. man did we fight, have our conflicts, but we had each others back when the forum gen. pop came after us, real life took a swing at us, or simple real life occasions. We were a bit of a family... like any family we had our conflicts... sometimes bitter and nasty.. but we all knew we had a purpose and common goal and worked together to reach it. I do miss that closeness we had across the teams. No coincidence we got one marriage out of it, and countless life long friendships, both real-life and virtual out of the experience of the tight knit and close genre team families. ------------- The Pedro and Micky Experience - When one no longer requires psychotropics to trip |

I'm bummed by Dean's diminished presence of late also. For several years prior his posts were some of the most interesting and informative across many subjects. (Having someone explain in great detail why Star Trek technologies like warp travel will never happen for us was as entertaining as it was depressing ) Thankfully he still checks his PMs so we can harass him there when we want to.  |

Yeah I think the exodus to social media has taken its toll in this regard. Before FB people really engaged more here....now it's more or less a drive by. I also think with so many ways for people to check out music online before buying, there is less enthusiasm for reviews and/or discussion of music. Probably a combination of factors that took away the kid-in-a-candy store atmosphere that once existed. |

I definitely miss Ian Snow Dog, Tony R, and Bob (Easy Livin), albeit for different reasons. The forum has clearly changed quite a bit in recent years, although I, for one, do not miss the huge rows. I started one off when I suggested a change to the genre teams and definitions, and I still wish I hadn't. The fallout was so harsh, I gave up as a collab in a team I rather enjoyed being a part of. It was my fault for being too outspoken on an issue which generates a lot of feeling, and I have enough stress in outside life without adding to it here. Thus, long may the more pleasant aspects of PA reign, at least to this boring, middle aged, fuddy-duddy! Not, of course, that I don't enjoy a good debate. We should have more of those. ------------- Enhance your life. Get down to www.lazland.org Now also broadcasting on www.progzilla.com Every Saturday, 4.00 p.m. UK time! |

Hehe Akvavit, like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vodka" rel="nofollow - vodka , is distilled from either https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cereal" rel="nofollow - grain or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potato" rel="nofollow - potatoes . https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Akvavit#cite_note-brit-5" rel="nofollow - [5] After distillation, it is flavoured with herbs, spices, or fruit oil. Commonly seen flavours are https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caraway" rel="nofollow - caraway , https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cardamom" rel="nofollow - cardamom , https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cumin" rel="nofollow - cumin , https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anise" rel="nofollow - anise , https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fennel" rel="nofollow - fennel , and lemon or orange peel. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Akvavit#cite_note-brit-5" rel="nofollow - [5] Dill and “ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aframomum_melegueta" rel="nofollow - grains of paradise ” are also used. The Danish distillery https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aalborg#Traditional_industries" rel="nofollow - Aalborg makes an akvavit distilled with https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amber" rel="nofollow - amber . The recipes and flavours differ between brands, but https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caraway" rel="nofollow - caraway
is typically the dominant flavour. Akvavit usually has a yellowish hue,
but this can vary from clear to light brown, depending on how long it
has been aged in oak casks (Norway) or the amount of colorant used.
Normally, a darker colour suggests a higher age or the use of young
casks, though artificial https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caramel_colouring" rel="nofollow - caramel colouring is permitted. Clear akvavit is called taffel; it is typically aged in old casks that do not colour the finished https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distilled_beverage" rel="nofollow - spirit or not aged at all. Norwegian aquavit distillers Arcus has carried out a test where they
tried to emulate the rocking of the casks aboard the "Linje" ships while
the oak barrels were subjected to the weather elements as they would
aboard a ship. The finished product was, according to Arcus, far from
the taste that a proper linje aquavit should have.[ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" rel="nofollow -

*chuckles* I suspect the dampness and the drooling comes from rather different sources. While I do enjoy the odd aquavit, it's rather readily available where I'm at being Norwegian, and I'm personally more prone to the classic coffee and cognac combination. Both of which I have in the quantities I need at home. I'll say that though - aquavit is something that needs to be tested, and while Swedes, Danes and Germans may state otherwise my opinion is that the Norwegian Line aquavit is the tastiest of them all. When I'm hitting the US I'll bring aquavit or Vikingfjord vodka, depending on who I'm staying with. Both of them have a tendency to disappear rather fast. ------------- Websites I work with: http://www.progressor.net http://www.houseofprog.com My profile on Mixcloud: https://www.mixcloud.com/haukevind/ |

Yeah - still lurking occasionally; Peter, though (Mr multicoloured grammar nazi himself) not for a long time - I do miss him. Not from here, but personally - Vicky and I haven't been over to Canada/Newfoundland for a while... must remedy that.  Nobody misses Velvetclown?? -------------

| A lot many PA characters have already been mentioned. I wonder where's DT guitarfan these days. Also Petrovsk (Hughes), a very good contributor on the metal side. |

yeah.. that reminds me. Of all the things to miss the most in PA's. Ivan.. oh yeah. he is still here in spirit but in a kind of symphonic semi-Yoda state. One can not think of him without thinking of seas of blue font.. verbally going to toe with anyone foolish or stubborn enough to think they can out debate him. I miss those days. ------------- The Pedro and Micky Experience - When one no longer requires psychotropics to trip |

Him, no !! (how about another Swedish troll: Flower Child?) But that general era (with maani as Admin) was sooooo dangerous, yet wildly exciting.... and downright fun I also miss Peter's colourful posts, btw. |

I think he left in a huff when he couldn't convince everyone that DT were the greatest band of all and that vanilla Prog Metal the best genre here. A lot of his posts before he left did come across as rather bitter that not everyone shared his enthusiasm for that style. ------------- Spending more than I should on Prog since 2005

VC was a hoot, until the PMs went to the dark side The time when Man with Hat, Stonebeard and Cygnus-X2 formed an unholy triumvirate and created a posted tsunami takes some beating. Can't recall any of the content but it was fun at the time Cert1fied was a knowledgable poster here in days gone by.

| Speaking of Cert1fied, I miss his 'bete noire' Mike. They had many long debates, mostly over prog metal, which were interesting to read. |
