QUOTE (GeddyRulz @ Feb 19 2011, 01:22 AM) QUOTE (apetersvt @ Feb 18 2011, 02:41 PM) My kids ask me every day when we can go see it. I might have to give in this weekend. My daughter and I saw it on opening night, at her request. I'm just grateful that she didn't choose the Justin Bieber movie, also opening that night. (But I'm afraid going to the Bieber movie might be inevitable.) Be sure to bring your iPod and noise cancelling headphones, and it will go by quick.

QUOTE (1-0-0-1-0-0-1 @ Feb 19 2011, 02:56 AM) Rush.net was the "official" Rush board, and it WAS cool for a while, but it was run by a guy who was...a legendary dickhead. And that's why it's no longer around. Excellent use of 'legendary'!

Then I wasn't on for a while and when I came back it had changed. Just like many of you have said. There are a bunch of ***holes on there that can't even give a straight response to any question or topic. Some act like kids in Junior High posting. I don't get that whole British humor thing. It's funny maybe the first few times but after thousands of posts it's just plain rediculous. Those of you who are not a member I would say you are not missing anything. The Internet - still frightening people after all these years. Since when has discussing Rush been a serious business? Frightening? That's funny. More like idiotic posters who think they are funny but they are not. Like their whole ego is tied to their status on a message board. Replies such as these means the terrorists truly have won...

If Benjamin Linus could do it, why not you? We'd still know it was you though after one post. Better PM Julie to do it instead of Ken though, or you might never be Tony R!

QUOTE (Digital Man @ Feb 18 2011, 10:04 AM) I have hung out with people from all three forums and have had a great time with them all. People's posting personalities are usually a bit different than when you meet them in person. This is 100% true. Of course I never reveal who I post as IRL...

NOT snow! It has all melted (there was a lot), as it has been an early spring week here. It has been nice to run outside and just get some fresh air that was not freezing cold... Back to winter next week, but we sure deserved a break.

It's a messageboard... There's no room for sensitivity. No one in this thread has mentioned the expense of any items. I would guess nor will they. Collectors collect. Those who have posted before you seem to grasp the concept that rare items might cost. I honestly don't care, and would love to see a thread with cool and rare stuff on it for swap or sale. It seems you are more hurt about it than anyone else, dude. I'm out of this thread, so as to not interfere with its original course.

QUOTE (IChoseFreeWill @ Feb 16 2011, 11:16 AM) That forum confused the living daylights out of me. This one is better organized. And did not set off my ADHD/OCD/Asperger's tendencies. And I found all the info I needed. And I decided to stay. And the people here are cool. AND STAY OUT!!

SW: My second solo album is nearing completion. It will be in the form of 2 separate 40 minute albums released in the same 2 CD set, and will also come as a blu-ray with surround mix, high definition stereo and a lot of visual material (Lasse is already working hard on films for many of the songs, attached is a still from one of these we ...shot a couple of weeks ago to a song called "Index"). We're also planning a special Insurgentes style hard back book edition with a full length bonus CD of additional material. A year in the making, this is without doubt my biggest project to date, perhaps my most ambitious and personal music, and with some phenomenal musicians and performances on it (drummer Nic France in particular is going to blow a lot of people away). We hope a website will launch around April/May to start previewing material, with the album scheduled for September. More soon....

QUOTE (Mara @ Feb 13 2011, 12:02 PM) Hey, did you guys ever get the Chat function on a separate server over there? Somewhere on CP there is a "TRF refugee" thread that got opened when our server had a 3-day outage. There's a similar thread on Reverse Polarity here for C-Peeps. It's worked quite well most of the time, with only a little rancor here and there. (Such as when some of our members behaved poorly and ignored the requests of the Counterparts members to stop using Chat during peak board hours, as it slowed the whole board down. Sorry about that). TheRushForum - Internet cannot display the webpage

Soundwise, that's pretty good range on the floor, and pretty close... I will be a couple rows up. Good times!

So were they both dead at the end, or did they change it up for the kids?

For an interesting chunk of history, click this: Beef - It's What's For Dinner You can spend a LOT of time reading there if you never have been and are curious about the legendary 'Board War' that you have heard about... You also don't have to be a member of teh evil CP to read. Go to the lower left corner and change your skin to 2112, and have a good and sometimes hilarious read! Get your popcorn ready.

A little timeline for when these boards started, and if and when they shut down. Just for a little historical perspective. ????-???? - Rush.net ????-???? - GeddyLee.net ????-???? - TRInet ????-present - Counterparts ????-present - RushTour ????-present - By-Tor ????-present - RIAB ????-present - The National Midnight Sun 2004-present - The Rush Forum If anyone knows the ACCURATE dates, add to this. And, did I forget any prominent Rush communities? I came here from The Rush Chronicles, which I believe collapsed in 2008. Before that, I was with randominteraction started with GL.net and when that went down, there actually was another "rushforum" before this. I was a TRI-net refugee... Hell, I still even have my handmade avatar created by crazy old R.G. floating around someplace.

QUOTE (ghostworks @ Feb 12 2011, 12:14 AM) different shades of the same despotism it's all good, though... Let the record show I am happy to share my schizophrenic posting style with the folks here as well... I try to keep the Dutch to a minimum. If it was not for 'IPS Driver Error', you would not have gotten such a treat in your lives. You lucky dogs! The moral of the story is 'Do not fix a leaky faucet with ten blowtorches, a gaggle of migrating geese, a package of tube socks, knowing what is best for people and a small thermonuclear weapon.' Baby Aesop would agree.

QUOTE (LeaveMyThingAlone @ Feb 11 2011, 11:12 PM) While not a huge Yes fan like many of you, they do have some good tunes. I am surprised none of you have named my favorite yes song...South Side of the Sky. Check out the keen cover of 'SSotS' by Glass Hammer on EweTewwb /thread hijack

This could be another whole thread. Starship Trooper is teh awesome!

QUOTE (ReflectedLight @ Feb 11 2011, 10:35 PM) if they want to attract more people they need to change that red on black backround. i feel my vision getting worse when i try to read any of it. i find the letter color backround on here very soothing to my eyes. Go to the bottom left corner and pick a different skin... Or press control/alt/delete. That works well too!

But he's our tosser!
