With the disruption of the server happening frequently, I would like to thank the reviewers and forum members for introducing me to music I would have never heard.
What will you do if this site fades away?

I would like to set up another forum in case this one goes that will operate as something of an antonymous collective with some anarcho-syndicalist commune thrown in for good measure, where we might take turns to act as a sort of executive-officer-for-the-week. But all the decisions of that officer would have to be ratified at a special bi-weekly meeting by a simple majority.... Basically, there will be no King, unless we decide to vote for one.
Mostly I am hoping to set up an online platform for artists/ creative people and people interested in the arts to connect with each other and to connect with various services, venues and institutions in their communities. I hope to help foster supportive communities that way and get more people interested in their local arts scenes as well as helping each other with a feedback and a positive and constructive online setting to share your art and develop it. |

I'd listen more often to the birds (our feathered friends, not the band...). |

I'm in my third (and likely last) phase of my life and have a ton of music to catch up on. I reckon I have enough. PA is important to me and I believe that only Sean Trane has been on here longer than me of those that are left hanging around. In some respects the site is slowly fading and that is natural. My real concern is the database of reviews and information. It would be very sad if that was lost. The forum is a good time passer.I like to chat about music informally, not interested in intellectual or music theory type debates and this seems to cater for the likes of me pretty well. Eventually everything must come to pass

Keep watching 'The Prog Corner' and 'Sea Of Tranquility'.
I would be devastated if this forum ceased to exist though!

Me too. But if that happens, there will be a massive exodus to https://www.progressiveears.org/

Although I haven't actively participated in the forums and reviews until very recently, since 2008 Progarchives has been and continues to be my go-to source for new releases, for discovering bands that would otherwise be very difficult to meet, or simply to read the opinions of so many people who share a taste for music. I hope that PA will continue to be operational for many many years to come!. |

Hi,
I would miss PA terribly. However, and one of the things that I see everyday listed here sometimes, is the number of "friends" that gave us so much joy with their music passing away ... I cried hard when Daevid Allen left, when Gilly left (we shared poetry and a lot of letters), and then Edgar Froese. For me, it was the end ... I have not cried since, but I'm sure I would the moment that Peter Hammill says hello to the ethereals ... or Roy Harper, both of them the supreme poets in my way of seeing things, and the 2 folks that know how to color words better than most. But, life is about ... accepting ... a lot of these things, and as you get older, it is tough ... to see so many friends go ... PA included specially as so many folks that post here are "hiding" and won't share email addresses for fear of some kind of Venusian fly will bite their ass!

Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told!

I'm sure Paul can get into his TARDIS and find out.

Mike has added a forum over at https://awesomeprog.com/. It hasn't gained much traffic, but I am sure that it would be an available forum resource for displaced PAers.

Where we will welcome you with open arms. Doesn't have a database or reviews. Very good forum.

I love this site, and would be very sad to see it go despite me not being here very long, it just seems a bit outdated, lovable, but outdated

while it's outdated in design, PA is like a well worn glove that fits. Plus there is no other user oriented prog site with this breadth of reviews

But there's no forum at Lazland, is there? Being able to communicate with groups of people online is meaningful to me, and it's not like I don't do that in so-called real life either, but writing and reading often is more enjoyable to me than being in an oral situation (not that I don't like oral, espoecially when done right).
While there might be a mass exodus to progears (I tried to post there years ago but did not find it welcoming or encouraging at the time, often depends on the luck of the friendliness of the people on at the time), I would like for the forum community to have a place ready to visit even if this site goes down for along time. It's awkward descending on another site. I think we should consider setting up a forum, I believe free boards for hosting are available. Otherwise a reddit sub (I have never posted there) might work. While I and others can be a real pain in the buttocks, and some of are quite eccentric, it's the people that make this place special to me, much more-so than the content. |
