I wonder if there are still members around senior enough (not about age but in period knowing about PA) to tell us how was PA in the beginning. Was it significantly different than now? Who was adding albums and bios, and writing the early reviews, M@x himself and a few helpers? Was the look of the homepage similar? (I can imagine than the header collage came quite later courtesy of a member whose name I do not remember but who posted a few such collages). Was there a forum from the beginning? It would be amazing if anyone would have kept screenshots of how the site looked like in the past but I guess that's too much asking for... Edited by Gerinski - August 14 2014 at 13:18 |

There was intrigue, there was violence, there was sex. And that was just my posts.

Basically, tons of Yes vs Genesis polls and no one yet saying they had been done to death.

Cool! that's just what I meant. Love the "sub-genres tab", Neo, Prog-Metal, 70's Classic Prog and Symphonic. That's the way many of us used to see it back in time ![]() ![]() |

OMG...I remember the old Mariah Carey thread. That ended up being the general chat thread, which was later named the Velvet Room.

Oh yeah! Those were great days! It all started before this new Prog
explosion and there were very few Prog bands around so we were focused
mostly on old stuff. And PA was a rather niche website - a real hidden
gem! I sometimes miss that atmosphere... On the darker side, there were
some really nasty trolls as well.
And one more thing: you could actually download mp3s and not just stream them. Those days are all gone now but one thing's still true When I look and I find I still love you... BTW, it's hard to believe it will be my 10th anniversary in May next year! ![]() |
