I'd like to make this as short and sweet as possible, as it is past 3AM at the time of writing, and I have stayed up for a great many number of hours working to make the forum what it is.
This forum is the (spiritual) successor to the late "All Pink Floyd Fan Network", which unfortunately was shut down in mid-2015. I had been a moderator there in that forum's final days (much akin to how Paul Keating was the last person to be appointed a minister in the Whitlam Government just weeks before the Government was dismissed by the Governor-General - yes, I'm a bit of a political junkie), and along with my fellow administrator kelandwood we decided to create this forum - only this time, we're not merely limited to discussing one band.
Just a little bit about me: my name is Mr. Fordy (this is the only post where you'll be seeing my actual name - if there is any mention of it anywhere else on the forum, I will personally whack it down ), and I am 18 years old. I have always loved Pink Floyd; as a matter of fact I first got into them when I watched "The Wall" film.... when I was 4 years old. In hindsight it wasn't exactly the most age-appropriate film for me haha, but it did leave a significant impression on me. Aside from Pink Floyd though, I had virtually no interest in music whatsoever until I was 12 years old. What changed, and what turned me on to music? The answer my friends, is "The Sound Of Silence" by Simon And Garfunkel. That was the trigger for me; there was no turning back from there. Musically my taste can be described as quite eclectic, though admittedly I draw the line at hip-hop, modern electronica and modern pop. My favourite genres though are rock & roll, blues and psychedelic rock. I also play the bass guitar, which I'm quite keen on.
That's about enough out of me for now; should probably head off to bed. But I greatly look forward to seeing you all around, and to ensure the paramount success of this forum.
