Lorraine Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 The other night I was wondering what it was like here the very first day the forum came online, so I thought it would be a good idea to have a thread for the TRF veterans here so they could reminisce and share their TRF memories with those of us who are new. Maybe include memorable members who have come and gone. Or something that happened that was particularly funny. Or sad. You must have many memories. I'm sure I am not the only one who would love it if you would share them with the rest of us. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Babycat Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 I only arrived here four years ago. I hadn't known of this forum 10 years ago. If I had, well... If I have one regret, it's not being here from the start. I would love to have seen it come alive. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tombstone Mountain Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 I just started listening to Rush a week ago. Just found this place. Seems pretty cool. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like to hear how it did come alive. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, Glad I don't go in to SOCN any more. Not really in the mood to think of any specific thing at the moment. I will get back to you at some point. :D 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you remember who the first person was that joined after the founding members? And how long it took for this place to start being a happening kind of place? :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sundog Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 I remember there used to be somewhat of a "rivalry" with the Counterparts forum.I don't remember a rivalry - the CP forum was a bit more "loose" of an atmosphere. A no holds barred (so to speak) hang out.We appreciate the moderation here. Some CPers were a little out there, for my taste, but I belonged to both and I just stayed out of the seedy alleys on CP.I have some wonderful friends that were way more active on CP than TRF.

It's not so much wanting to know the "why" but to hear stories of fun happenings throughout the years. Or not so fun events. But we can put the thread to eternal rest. :zzz: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toymaker Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 I think it's a good idea. There are probably lots of great old threads that are better than several pages of how we define "cheesy" - although I have to admit I learned a lot there.

sundog Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 The thread is not a BAD idea - I think that Toymaker has a good idea in reading the early threads to get a real feel for what it was about. For sure the meet up threads - they tell an amazing story of developing friendships. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
