    Posted: November 21 2014 at 21:38
I was brought here to P.A. by a band, who released an album years ago. However by frequenting this site, reading the forum topics, I found myself drawn in coming back here Big smile Some posts interest me a lot and wake up the passion within me about music whereas I would not be able to find this on any other social network site. Some forum posts so intriguing while others just too darn, dang, damn funny one cannot help but laugh so much, it's hilarious, even at a later stage sometimes while being in inappropriate environments, still feeling like laughing reflecting back to the comments :)
Anyway, enough briefing plus mumbling above, what I meant to say is that I am not a musician, I am a marketing manager for an Enterprise Resource Planning software company.   I had no idea how wonderful and mind opening it would be to here :)
 
Before you go TO SLEEP!!! Please if you wish tell us the reason you are here or perhaps why you also keep returning to P.A.?
Big hugs to all Hug

The MUSIC! 

 I lurked in the shadows for years exploring new bands and reviews, but never joined the forum until a couple of years ago.  I still don't know why, as I don't belong to any other social media's or forums.  When I figure out why I am here, I will let you know....LOL.

Steven Wilson has put in the good word for Radiohead back around 2006.  I was googling Radiohead and came across the site.

I joined as Slartibartfast and started writing album reviews for fun.  "Discovered" the forums a few weeks later.

Interestingly enough, you used to be able to google Slartibartfast or my real name and one of my reviews would be at the top of the search.  I checked and they have fixed that "problem".  Interestingly enough a guy who worked with me at job I had in high school tracked me down here.

Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

Because here I can communicate about obscure prog and recieve a sympathetic ear, while in real life, it is a wtf " what planet are you from" response, or just plain indifference.LOL
                            Also because I am single, live alone, and get a little lonely in my bachelor apartment sometimes, and PA has on it some really nice people to communicate with.Thumbs Up

Horizons I have no idea why you could possibly be single and lonely. We have spoken before 2 years ago maybe via pm on a music related topic, I remember this so well. You seem so mature for your age too, you were so nice and deep charming too, had no idea you are only 19 years old :) You are a dream! The only reason you are alone to me must be that you need to get out more, leave the virtual world that keeps dragging us in, leave it for a tiny bit. You are charming and very endearing sweet, a dream for any girl really Hug.

I came here because I wanted to catch up on my music. Between 1995 and 2005 I lost track of prog and metal that I love before then. PA seemed a good place to start a 'come back'. Before I knew it, I found not only music and fun, but also friendship and in some cases even personal support. That keeps me coming back, even if at times I am away for months or only lurking.

P.S. this is the best off topic topic of the year.

Many reasons why I lurk in this dark corner of the web.....
PA is a comprehensive guide and reliable resource when it comes to making purchasing choices.
Highly informative on obscure, lost and (almost) forgotten albums.
I also get to converse with many wonderful folks from around the globe, share opinions, advice (even non-music related), plus it's very handy to get a heads-up on what's new, especially in the world of vinyl.
And again, what means the most is just being in the cyber-company of like-minded people, whose passion is the wonderful gift of Prog.
And coz Kati is ace

I'm here because I get bored and want to have a meaningful conversation, but wind up typing trash zero-value posts.

I joined one very hot August weekend, over 9 years ago, and little did I know that this site would have a hand in changing my life. A few months later, I met the man who is now my husband (also known as MickySmile) when working for the Symphonic Prog Team. In spite of many ups and downs (the most serious of which led me to leave PA for four years), I am glad I joined, and happy to be back.
