10 Years Of Prog Archives

Wasn't sure where to put this topic.

Is there anything special planned to commemorate a decade of this great site? I'm aware it was created in 2002, yes? but was it an active site/forum by 2003, or was it 2004? Maybe a banner on the home page celebrating 10 years of PA. Maybe a contest to win albums or something? or maybe a big change within the site, either in looks or in design?

Been here for almost 8 years myself...errrr with a "break" there for awhile.

Originally posted by Snow Dog I've been contributing to this forum for nearly eight years!! Unbelievable. My typing is geting wrose too. Actually darkie I  noticed you have  been here nearly as long as me. How come I only really  noticed you in  the  last few years? What was your first avatar?

I wasn't the most active member here between 2006 and 2008. I used the site itself more than anything, and only came on the forums to ask questions, usually. I also wasn't much into hanging out in online forums much back then. However, one time I was searching through really old threads, and was surprised at how many times I popped up in them. When I signed up here, I was a relative newbie, and I completely abandoned prog music for the most part in 2007 and 2008, but in summer 2008, I became more active, partially because I started to really get into more prog stuff, and been like that since.

I've had many avatars over the years.

This forum exists in its current form since 29 January 2004 (at least this was the day when M@X signed up). I have been lurking around for almost five years now (the 3.5 years before I signed up not included). Tempus fugit...

I signed up immediately and caused a huge ruckus. 

Damn.

I feel old.

I'm jealous of you old-timers.
I've been "online" since 1985 and a prog fan since 1989, but I didn't discover this site (or the forums, in any case) until 2011.  Still not sure how you hid from me for so long!

Amazing, I'm also almost 8 years on the site.

Me neither.
