The first ever Post on here??

[keyboardistmatt]

Hey guys, I just did a little research, and found the first post by Peter!

Ok, I'm ill.  I am just wandering through the forum...

I feel really 'orrid

OK, January 13, 2005; so the Room soon has its 5-year anniversary 

Whadawedo to celebrate, guys ?    (apart from drinkin each our lonely beer in each our lonely quarter)

Matt, here's wishin you a rapid recovery

Well, obviously we hoist a round of Guinness, but first we have to get our missing people back.     I suppose we could do a vote/poll/list of the best albums that have come out since the Room's inception.  A bit trite, but fun anyway.

And ditto to Matt the Blizzard.

Ok, number one: Matt, how do you know that that's the first post? 
Remember: Me = non-wizkid. 

Second: How to celebrate the 5 year anniversary?

Easy: a day at the studio of Arena. 

Clive? Mick? Fellows?

Good idea?

Yup, you'r the man(atee), so you fare the seven seas

Great idea, Greenie 

But then I propose (like earlier) that we leave out Arena, cause having their albums in the mix will warp things. Or else we simply say a priori that The Visitor, Immortal?, Contagion, and PG are 1-4 

Good idea?

Ideally seen: Yes !  But finances and time would limit participation

Well, I was hoping that Peter would be able to varify that as the first official post (that everyone can see) there is one other, but it is apparantly off-limits...

It probably read something like "Testing, testing..."

[keyboardistmatt]

You know what?

I'd not actually thought of that!!

[Deenfan]

Or.... it could be an incredibly embarassing post...?

[Nicky007]

else we simply say a priori that The Visitor, Immortal?, Contagion, and PG are 1-4 

Just considered that PG is the only Arena album from the past five years 

So I propose that we honorably elect PG to nb 1 on the list, as a tribute to our eponymous band, and then nb 2-10 (or 20) is up for grabs.

Whadaya think, guys ?

Sure, we could do that, or alternatively, we could call the poll/contest: "The Best Prog Albums Released Since the Inception of The Shattered Room Except Pepper's Ghost Which Would Obviously Win by Acclamation Since It Has 'The Shattered Room' on It".  We could also vote The Tinder Box "The Best Prog Album Not Quite Released Since the Inception of The Shattered Room".   

[Nicky007]

 

We could also do the whole thing in Japanese. First we'd have to take a vote on which Japanese font to use 


I still think we should elect PG as nb 1 and do the rest regularly. Since we're so passionate about our music, I think we could easily do a Best 20.

We could do a seperate poll "Most pined for not released albums". Thereafter we could do the same thing on women

Hey, guys, I... *stops, mouth half agape, stares for a few seconds, turns around and leaves, closing the door behind him*

[Nicky007]

Guys, any interest in Greenie's and my proposals ? 

Nicky.

Post number one on any freshly installed forum is always an nonsensical "yes, you managed to install the forum software" message... so actually you found the first "real" post there, it seems

[Peter]

As for the celebration... well... em... how about we design a message together, that will be sent out to all the subscribed members, maybe we can (re)activate some sleepers here

Great idea.  Some of us were noticing recently that we seem to have lost a couple more prominent regulars, and we miss them.  BTW, as to where Nicky got that Crash Test Dummies quote, see below...

hehe, ok, so the credits go to you then

Cool!  This is quite warming that a simple bored nose around can cause a warming stir!
