Well thats why i think it should have its own forum, i mean your arguement here could be used on anything, rock n roll was a mix of blues, folk, jazz and country. So does that mean the rock forum should be moved to the blues and jazz forum? Punk and Alternative are rock styles and they have their own forum, shouldnt they just be a sub-forum to the rock forum? Rap is just like prog in that it has spawned from many diverse genres of music, we are talking rock, reggae, blues, jazz, funk, soul, etc. All the genres in the world would trace back to just classical and folk, so maybe all the forums here except the classical forum should be made into sub-forums for the folk forum, since it all goes back to folk. So i dont really see where you are coming from.
However i will do anything to see that prog gets a forum of some kind, if its only a sub-forum to the rock forum, then so be it.
