I didn't mean you actually. Rather the likes of Belva or Flowerchild e.g.

Also funny to see a poll thread about "Member Ages" with 1224 views and zero replies. Were the PA members back then so old and scared to disclose their age? LOL

Pretty sure that was a poll created with replies disabled.  That feature still exists today.

I came a bit later rather than the really early years, but I remember it being a lot more fun then though that might have something to do with just turning 20 and chatting with a lot of people in my age group, only a few of which are still around (Hatman being the most prominent).

Very, very cool. The Interweb was a very different landscape back them. I look back at my first web site and as nice a job as I did, it looks kinda dated today.  And to think you could...GASP...download mp3's. Well that may have just been the tick that broke the music industry's back. We should all be thoroughly pissed at ourselves and ban us from this very site.LOL
Thank you for supporting independently produced music

I just remember that when you looked at a specific album the rest of that band's discography would show on the right side, making it really easy no navigate between the albums. Then one day it was gone... Angry

The only thing I remember was the many threads about ELP and the many complaints about too many threads about ELPLOL

I registered in 2008, stopped coming here regularly between 2011 and 2013, so it seems to me somewhere around then many of the original regular posters also left only to never come back. Henry Plainview, for instance, as well as Vompatti though I still keep in touch with the Wombat on Facebook.

It seems like the people who stopped posting overwhelmingly were among the younger members on the forum, which I find pretty interesting since usually it's the opposite way around. That's probably a main reason that the overall music discussion climate is nowhere as "fanboyish", for lack of a better word, as it was back then.
