Progressiveears has seen better days

They're probably over there saying the same thing about us?

And it's the same couple dozen people talking among themselves while ignoring everyone else.

Just like Progarchives.

And most of the most active threads have nothing to do with progressive rock or music in general.

Unless they have some form of autism spectrum, a person can't talk about one very specific topic over and over again. That's not how human beings want to interact with others anyway. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

All good things must come to an end. Maybe the end has come for that website.

Honestly? I'd say that the Progressiveears forum is doing fine. The posts aren't too frequent but of high quality. These days, there's a general tendency for traditional forums to fall out of style. Most is not all forums are less active today in mid-2025 than back in the 2000s till early 2010s.

Hrychu, you say it is doing fine, but what about all the technical issues? It often can't be accessed and when it can it often runs slow. Also, now only people with an account can read it. I think this has to do you with technical issues and is not by design. However, if the wider public can't read it without creating an account or if it can't be read by members who might be on public computers or other devices where they aren't signed in or don't want to sign in, then many people are being denied the chance to read it. I'm sure the founders never intended that.

Not really.   That's a myopic and fairly bitter attitude.

I doubt it for stylistic reasons. If this is the case, Svet has shifted to a different LLM and put aside his recent preoccupation with rats. However, there remains the possibility that he has been banned from PE and his access to the site has been limited.
