The feedback on us closing down this forum has been pretty big. People have asked us to reconsider, but we'll stick to our guns. We expect the forum to be shut down soon. Actually today, Friday 28th August was my idea of the last day. Maybe the time difference plays a little part here.
Anyways, we hold no grudge against you people with genuine interests in the band, but I do want you to know that if it wasn't for the "trolls" the forum would still be up and running. Not a case of letting them "win", for us it's just a forum that's been abused and have cast a negative light on our name, so we pull out.
It's a permanent decision, yet never say never. We might open it up again when we have a new album that needs some boosting.
As for now, thanks and (a internet) goodbye to you all. Maybe we'll meet some of you in person on the upcoming Prog nation tour. In the end, a face to face meeting with a person of flesh and blood is something I think we all value one hell of a lot more than tapping shit on a keyboard.
Not sure exactly when this is closing down, but this is my last post here and oddly enough my very first thread.
Thanks on behalf of the band
Mike
