Dont laugh.
It just may come to be your misfortune one day to be staring out a Cosy Corners Retirement Home window watching two chipmunks fornicate.

Yep.
You should know that Progbemyname is actually my sidekick wot does his best to keep Yours Truely in the limelight here on Progarchioves - which I loikes (not Prog Archives, but being he center of attention.)
If you haven't worked it out yet us two are from the same part of Ontario.
But that could be a ruse as well - Progbethyname could be me olde Yorkshire mate ,Karney on vacation with me here in Leutonia.
You never know. (Untill the Wallacian begins to roll in.)

More pathetic at every try, master Wally. Your having 100 times more albums than me won't make me think any less what a pathetic being you seem to be  . Why don't you stay in those old psycher's forums you seem to love so much and let us enjoy our nerdy Prog in peace?

Come on, isn't it time to ask Knobby if it's an European swallow or an African swallow?

Its no tha I doan like Progarchives Forum.
This forum has incredible potential.
There are 100 people looking in on these threads at most any given time.
That is pretty damn good going in my book.
The question for the hosts/moderators , myself (and mayhaps even YOU) is: where are we taking all this interest/ what manner of people are looking in?
Are the majority total wet-behind-the-ears novices only interested in the Rush/Porcupine Tree/"best of" posts? Or is there something deeper out there in the audience.
Now, Knobs is pretty sure those running this forum think the fan-base is pretty-well NOOB and its well to pander to them (afterall numbers is numbers). But Knobs submits you this: I have been looking in on active users here at the threads that are actually being followed and - moderators/hosts - if you dont realize already ,a surprizing number of "guests" ARE looking into the deeper (and more specific) posts. By surprizing, Knobs wouls say very roughly...say 25%.
So are you gonna build up that 25% interest or just go with the easy noob-flow? THAT is the question.

We're more interested in Yes vs. Genesis posts, thank you very much

Just maybe.Also, maybe some of us are happy with their CD's or whatever and don't appreciate being mocked for not taking a greater interest in what you happen to be interested in.

My brother got after me today about why I still buy music and not download. Long story short, at the end of our conversation I he wanted to go to the record store and by some albums.
Yes. I converted my own blood to do the right thing.  |
Amen, brother...To me, whether it's vinyl or CD, I simply like to own something PHYSICAL for my money. I'm not much of a data hoarder, and I like to look over the CD booklets or LP sleeves too much!
It's the same for me as a 20+ year comic book collector...there's a big move with them being made on the digital mediums, and believe me, they simply POP on those tablet screens, but it's not the same thing as me having a physical copy to treasure forever.
I don't know how old your brother is, but I guess lots of younger people don't have that thrill of going into a store and discovering some elusive or unexpected musical surprise! I still remember buying a CD and having to wait until school finished, or getting home on the bus to anxiously listen to it! |
I like having physical copies, and have never illegally downloaded a thing in my life. I don't collect vinyl though, Don't have the time or money. It sounds way better on vinyl, though, and maybe someday I'll be able to get myself a record player and start collecting.

You see here?
Perhaps this 25% "guests" are not interested in the obvious.
They check this place out then LEAVE , but the 25% mark is maintained because of the high traffic here and influx of new interest.
If those initial 25% were given something to eat - what they actually came here hoping to find, they would stay and the place would smarten-up in content , perhaps not exponentially, but it WOULD.
Do you think the average American audience is as trepan-dumb as the TV industry hopes they are or makes them out to be?
No way.
Something like "House" proved it. The audience may not understand 2/3rds of the technical jabber the characters speak, or that which the alien-like nerd on Big Bang Theory speaks, but that dont matter - they want to better themselves or at least give the impression they are out to bettering themselves.
What Im suggesting to those in charge here: consider moving away from the notion that noobism is the way to go. Sure, noobism is SAFE...but ....fox being safe.

The first thing Knobs would do is segregate.
Create a noobs corner: discussion of the cornerstone bands area and all that.
AND PUT IN SOMEWHERE DOWN THE LIST.

I came here too late to get to know him, I guess, but I remember his unique personality. I support Walter to be the assistant admin to Henry Plainview.
