Lorraine Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 I didn't know what to expect when I joined. I had never been around Rush fans before. Mika and ThunderBayRush are two of the members who greeted me with warmth and enthusiasm. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Narps Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 I miss TBR. His anniversary came up last week with no fan fair. Its amazing how quickly you become yesterdays news when you aren't around for a while. I guess all of our fates are sealed at some point. I miss Bluefunk and Gangsterfurious too..... Sorry about that. On with the festivities..... :madra: :) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After that..... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Narps Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 This is a tough one for me. I'm gonna say Geddysmullet and Cyclonus X-1 because I spent alot of time in chat at the beginning of my time here. They were nice to me and showed me some ropes as I was completely new to this. There were alot of folks in there that were nice to me till I started acting like an @sshole. I would say Bluefunk was the first I really remember making feel special in any way out on the big board. I could be wrong. There are probably many but it all seems like such a blur at this point.... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Narps Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 Honorable mention goes to TM for quizzing me in chat early on to attempt to see if I was for real or not and a "real" Rush fan. That's what it seemed like anyway and he probably doesn't even remember doing it..... :) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Narps Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 There also used to be a guy here named RushAreAwesome who was nice to me in chat. I am not sure what ever became of him though..... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brucey Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 Like Narpski, I spent quite a lot of time in the chat room when I first joined, still do, and I recall GeddysMullet and The Notorious BSG being the first to warmly greet me here. Narpski, Cyclonus X-1 and Zumbi amongst others were also very kind to me in my early days here. So a big thank you to you guys for making me feel so welcome! :) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tombstone Mountain. It was all good because I know what I'm about. I was called a half troll (at least) by him and a few others for at least my first few months here. I guess they finally realized I was just being honest after a few thousand posts and dropped all that sh*t..... :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would add that I still feel "some" anxiety when I post. The fear of being misunderstood still being the culprit mostly.....

The Analog Cub Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 (edited) I'm pretty sure the first thread I ever started was asking for everyone's opinion on Snakes and Arrows, an album which a lot of this board seems to really dislike To answer your question, nobody really. Apart from a few people I've come across on here everyone's pretty pleasant. I've probably pissed plenty of people off though with my vocal dislike of the debut, Presto, and RTB I don't feel at home on TRF. It's an internet forum to me, and not really much more than that. Nothing personal to anybody. Edited September 8, 2014 by BowlCity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
