    dang yeah forgot. my first post was about funeral for a friend, which doesn't shock me as my username was a song of theirs and i signed up because of their then upcoming album.

    lmao my first page of posts is about ffaf, shitting on ronnie radke, saying avenged sevenfold's guitarists weren't great and getting shit on and enjoying the second Panic! album.

    I still love Panic's second record. Don't care what anyone says, that record is dope. Got my dad into it and he largely is impossible to get any music through to. Still have a vinyl copy of it too.

    Perfect write-up, Jason.

    I'm in love with the new forums and features and, just, everything. Sure, I'll miss AP - I've been visiting it daily since high-school - but it was time to move on.

    Here's the the future.

    I'm not brave Prestigious

    Very well-written post Jason! I really think you've built something special here, and that it will pay off in the great community that's already coming together. It's refreshing to see a site owner be so committed to excellence across the board.

    Also this haha... I've spent far too many hours reading AP forums and news posts, and I don't regret it one bit.

    Very big fan of the new site, and a great post there Jason.

    AP was great, made some friends that I still interact with, have met up with and drank with, gone to gigs. Looking forward to seeing what comes from Chorus.

    Not that cut about the change at all. Didn't read the whole thread so I doubt what I'm saying is a fresh take but I loved the site as much as anyone did back in 2010-2012. After that I realised that I didn't really like a lot of the interactions that took place and how it felt like people were waiting for an excuse to attack. Posted something similar on AP a while back and got met with a bit of criticism despite admitting that at some stage I was probably a part of that same problem that was now alienating.

    I do post on another forum but it's a bit more limited and I never really did find a replacement for the AP of old. I am a bit nostalgic for those old days and I do miss that.

    Anyway the site needed a change. We had outgrown the name, the forums felt a bit hostile and there needed to be a good bit of separation from most of the news posters. I didn't think I'd post much when I signed up the other day but I thought I'd give it a go. I'm liking it so far though I've gotta say - it's nice having a general and a music forum which actually serve the purposes they're meant to. That being said, I now already regret going with a stupid username.

    I'll miss AP.net. Helped me find a lot of great music and talked to some really cool people through the years. I'm ready for Chorus to take over my life just as AP.net did.

    I feel like I'm losing a friend today or something. DAMN YOU, JASON. Stop being so progressive and forward-thinking!

    @cshadows2887 After some digging, I think our first conversation was arguing about Avatar.

    Eventually, we found out that we both were huge Springsteen fanboys. Then you sent me Chad Perrone's records.

    And then you helped me get Chad Perrone on my record and achieve my lifelong dreams. It's been cool.

    And then Chad Perrone hired me to write something for his website. What a long, strange trip it's been.

    Lol the one time I "met" @Sophos im pretty sure we nodded at each other across the room and that was it.

    I met mar and Evan too at separate shows in St. Louis and Chicago and they both asked me how tall I was and how I got so tall lmao.
