Might be an awkward question I dunno. I've noticed there are a lot of RED BADGE Progarchives Collaborator reviewers who don't post reviews here anymore. So I thought that some of them might even be dead by now. So, my question goes: can anybody who's more familiar with the Progarchives community than me, make a list of which PA Reviewers aren't alive anymore?

I'm not sure anyone knows that question. There are many reviewers here who stopped well over a decade ago and disappeared and then suddenly pop up in a thread to say hi.

There are also many reviewers, collaborators and even admins who have just simply disappeared never to be heard from again.

I do not believe anybody has the ability to verify who's alive and who's not.

The drawback of the anonymity of the internet is that if we don't participate actively then it's a mystery as to what happened unless someone happens to be in contact and reports such a thing as a death.

Some reviewers may have lost interest.  I know one major reviewer got into a deep relationship with a woman.  Others may have migrated to Prog-Ears.  

It's not just reviews.  There aren't as many ratings.Wink

Does anybody know if Greenback is still alive? Their last visit was in 2013 and their last review is from 2007.

I no longer post reviews here, but according to the face in the mirror I examined this morning, I am still alive, but it was a close run thing.

The best known of the deceased is the Co-founder of the site, but he is a persona non gratis regrettably.

Haven't seen Phil [ManWithHat] in over a year.   I miss him and hope he's okay, but he really dropped off the radar.

Phil left after being insulted by one of PA's better known loose cannons. He still appears occasionally, but not in a while.

Phil left after we added a team member to the JF team. He was outvoted in the decision to add another member and apparently had a tantrum and left.

Nope, you insulted him by calling him a lagger and accused him of not voting for an artist you suggested, but he did.

^ he was a lagger

I requested several times that he vote on artists and he just wouldn’t do what he said he would

I did question him about his judgment on a certain artist

He’s seriously so weak minded that he can’t believe someone would disagree with him?

We didn’t ask him to leave we just wanted another team member because he wasn’t doing his job

I discussed it with team members and admins before I suggested a new team member and got the green light

If he can’t tolerate being asked to do his job then honestly we’re better off without him but of course we’d welcome him back with open arms if he was serious about being on the team

Every single day he was responding to every nonsensical thread in the forum and lagged on every single vote

EVERY artist

Calling someone out on their lack of participation is not an insult

^I think you're full of crap. Any collaborator can visit your team's thread and see that he was an active member up until you insulted him (follow pages 1 through 97). Oddly enough you apologized to him after you realized he actually did vote on a bunch of artists (page 98). By then, he was already gone.

^ yeah after i discovered there were TWO different places to vote.
Someone started a secondary place for the votes and we found out we were voting on different charts.
So i made a mistake. Both he and Maciej were laggers and i called them out on it.
All Phil had to do was vote regularly and participate in the team.
Since he failed to do i called him out on it.
If that's too much for his fragile little ego to take then he has the maturity of a grade schooler.
Maciej on the other hand was even worse. He just disappeared with no announcement.
I'm friends with him on RYM. I contacted him and he admitted he was a lagger.
So here's the difference. Maciej realized i was right and admitted it and we still chat on RYM.
Phil can obviously do no wrong and had a tantrum.
BTW everybody i chatted with personally AGREED WITH ME.
So maybe you need to read the entire team chat up to the present day and discover where it became known that somehow someone started voting on the cleared section (i believe) and two different voting charts existed.
This obviously created a lot of confusion.
Despite all that Phil STILL did not perform on a timely duty and didn't vote on every artist.
