In the last year we record a DRAMATIC increase in the terms of visitors/day (2000/day to 30 000/day) and members -> this has a big impact on our job regarding progarchives.com and imagine the number of emails and PMs we receive. Over 100 emails a day. Our jobs in the past years was and his still:

Time for a bit of back slapping here guys and gals. Without mailto:M@X - M@X and Rony there would be no site. I find it truly astonishing what they have achieved with the site, and the amount of time and effort they dedicate to it (and thus to us). They deserve our sincere thanks. We can help them to help us in many ways, but I think the most important one is to provide constructive feedback, and avoid whinging and overt negativity. |

Huh, I just joined... I thought it would be a good place to get a review of my album... Guess not. What, itll be about 2020 before they get around to it! Dang that success! Reminds me of the commerial where some guys take their website live, and it clicks on a fw sals inthe first few seconds, then starts to really click, and they're all dancing around like Whoohoo!, then it starts to just zing! and they all stop celebrating... and look at each other like...'Oh, crap! - how are we going to fill all hese orders????!' Its a very funny commercial! - but a fitting thing for this situation. Congratulations on your successes!

Thanks for all the excellent work, guys - on the couple of occasions I've needed to email the site admin I've received an informative and helpful reply within a few days, which makes a pleasant change from the automated response you get from most commercial sites. Keep on proggin' Max and Rony, most of us appreciate all that you do, and if there's any help I can give get in touch (I'm afraid I'm not much use with anything too technical though). ------------- 'Like so many of you I've got my doubts about how much to contribute to the already rich among us...'

Basically take everything above this post and transfer it as if coming out of my mouth. I give just as much thanks to this site as everyone else, it has helped me find amazing bands I never knew of before, as well as solidifying my thoughts on other classic bands.

Keep up the good work. I have only just signed up and have already learned more about music I have been listening to for 25+ years. It takes a lot of hard work to maintain a resource like this and I appreciate your efforts. Let those who criticise start their own website and find out for themselves. |

It's a miracle you've achieved all this with so few people working.
Since I discovered this website I've visited it at least three times a
day. Great layout and appearance, and great content! Unfortunately I'm not really skilled in computers and I'm also not as far into prog as some maniacs ( ;) ) here are. So I wouldn't be any help, but I'm glad others can carry the "burden" :) Keep up the Amazing and idealistic work! |

Can I ask a question? I was just wondering if it's possible to download MP3's onto my computer. I only found out about this recently, but when I checked again I found its been replaced with flash. Meaning we can listen, but can't actually D/L. Any way around this? |

Due to recent workload I don't visit the site and forum quite sometime and find how GREAT JOB Rony and mailto:M@x - M@x have done for this site. Thanks for your passion for prog music!!!!! Like Joren said: YOU ARE THE MEN!!!! PROG RULES!!! Keep on proggin' ...!!!! Uhmm ... I don't know how I could write a review again because recently I was so swamped with other things ... but I still listen to prog everyday- only that I don't review them. I keep listening to The Tangent, Little Atlas, Spock's Beard, as well as classic Rock like Bloodrock, Grand Funk Railroad .. Cheers, Gatot |

Arqwave, There is a clear distinction between the owners of the site ( mailto:M@X - M@X and Proglucky), and the Admin (Tony R, Trotsky, Useful Idiot and myself plus formerly Maani). We the admin team have no financial involvement in the site of any kind. The site owners look after all the financial aspects. |

The Prog Archives Web site Project came out from a common dream of a small group of fanatic progressive rock music collectors who decided to develop a WEB SITE for the online progressive rock music community, with the goal of providing extensive Progressive Rock Music information, as well as interaction features for the prog surfers.
We have been collecting this DATA for quite some time, but we are far from finished. There are still plenty of old records to be remembered and added to the site, plus all the new creations that are being made. We not only welcome any feedback you may have about the site, but any help you can provide us. We appreciate your support, and your feed back is very important to us, cause we are always looking forward to become... We have a small staff, and all of us have a primary job, so we work our asses off to get the whole thing up and running on our spare time. Whether you are an artist, producer, recording engineer, record label or just a fan and don't see a record that you feel should be in this web page, please contact us. We welcome any chance to improve this site. We welcome future collaborators. HAVE FUN AND ENJOY THE WEB SITE. ProgLucky (Rony) and M@X

Does anybody know why the free mp3's doesn't work in my schools
computers. Flash Player 6 has been installed in those. Is it enough?
They work fine on my home PC but it would be great to play some music
while in school (when I don't have my mp3/cd-player with me).
