Cool to see how it was in the beginning. 10 years ago I was still reading newsgroups!

When was the last time Dick Heath posted ?
He was the only one from here whom I desired to join my forum. As I seem to recall, he declined the offer. |

I really need to check that out, because SMN forums are like a wasteland of narcissistic, elitist personalities.

One music forum that really has changed over the last many years is Metal-Archives, where I posted from 2006-2008. Back then it was populated mostly by crazies and junkies and Nazi Occultists but now it consists just of boring normal people.

In the very beginning it was just another prog website like prog toes, prog lands and prog freaks. However, progarchives survived and went way beyond them in part because they allowed anyone to write reviews. There was a site back in the late nineties called prog net that I wrote reviews on that also let anyone write reviews but that one soon went under. Somehow P.A. just exploded and the rest is history. I'd even go as far as to say that P. A. played a role in making prog as popular as it is today.

I never post anything anywhere without doing more than basic research, often in depth.

Dream Theater was cool in the beginning, right?

That was a good thread. Too bad it did not go anywhere.
My contention remains the same: "war" is the theme most-used in pwog. (Followed closely by "death".) |

Wallace here!
Thankyou for the fond rememberances. I dont remember much of the old days here. (I suppose I was here around 2005 on???) Back then I was mainly posting to a Yahoo prog group. I would like to look up those elder-days posts, but those two linkiepoos given seem to only get one the Wayback Machine and not much else. I recall Bald Freida (oar summart loikes) and she was quite knowledgeable. Also there was a very sharp poster, Barbitzoter, or mebbe I'm confusing with Progressive Ears. Unlike former stalwarts who seem, in the main, to have deserted the ship, I would continue on Progarchives, given the opportunity. THAT is just the problem. (I expect this post to be wiped-out by the end of the day.) |

I had let him have my address so he could send me a CD ( he never did). That was before all this all blew up. I know its unlikely he would visit me but didn't want to take a chance.

I missed one planned PA meeting (was there more than one?), which was a pity in retrospect. Oh well... no use crying over spilled milk. Snow Dog hasn't posted in a long time, but hopefully he turns up once again.
