Charlotte7598 Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 Hi all, I am posting on behalf of Time Stood Still. It looks like the Rush Radio website domain has expired, and she was hoping to find a way to get the site back up and running without having to buy the domain. Any thoughts or suggestions? https://rushradio.net/mob_smart.php 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No this was a different site, it was similar to rushradio.org, because you could also stream Rush music on their, but rushradio.net had interviews on the site as well, along with rare live performances. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Time Stood Still Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 I messeged John, the guy who runs Cygnus-x1.net., on Reddit last night, because rushradio.net was one of the Rush sites linked on there and he said he would try and find out what happened to the website as he had chatted with the people who ran the site before, but not in a while. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I listen to that sometimes although not recently. The live recordings and the interviews were the attraction for me. It's more convenient to listen to that although if I want to hear complete shows or interviews I would still have to pull out the CD. It's a good streaming sampler kind if I'm being lazy about it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Time Stood Still Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 I got a message back from John saying that he couldn't find anything about what happened. I should've known something was going on when their Facebook page was gone, then again a few months ago Facebook/Meta had some type of outage that completely suspended a bunch of accounts on both Facebook and Instagram and I hadn't checked Rush Radio's page in a while, so take that for what it is. So I guess we'll just see what happens, maybe it won't come back, maybe it will come back, who knows, it might be or it is too early to determine that right now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grep Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 (edited) The domain is still registered. Seems that the site itself is down. Edited February 1, 2023 by grep 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Time Stood Still Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 (edited) Well it looks like you're right. I checked the domain on ICANN and it says that it will expire on the 30th of June this year, it also said that it last updated from registry RDAP DB was today a few hours ago, I don't know what it means though. This is as of now though, so I don't know what's going to happen soon. But if this is the case, which it probably is, if they updated the domain stuff today, that means that they're trying to figure out how to get the site back up and running. Edit: Here's a link to another website that has the site's domain history. However, this website does have a limit to how many times you can view for free before signing up. https://whois.domaintools.com/rushradio.net Edited February 2, 2023 by Time Stood Still 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it means that the ICANN database itself was updated (or refreshed) for that site's record today. Those databases update pretty frequently overall.... to keep the most current information for the internet as a whole. Let's see what happens in June.....

Anyway, the only reason I believe that the website's domain expired is because I went to to the area in Cygnus-x1.net that has all the Rush sites on there and when I clicked on the rushradio.net link, it said the site's domain had expired. So that's why I'm confused, maybe something went wrong with the site, I'm not sure, but as I said before, let's just see what happens.

Time Stood Still Posted June 17, 2023 Share Posted June 17, 2023 The domain was updated on the 13th, it now has the expiration date of June 30, 2024, for those who don't know, when websites open with their domains on a specific, within the next year or few years the people running the website have to renew their rights for the domain if they want to keep, the expiration dates are usually the day and month the website was opened up. For example, if you start a website on May 12, 2021, it's expiration date might be May 12, 2025, sorry if this explanation was a bit much, heh. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ytserush Posted December 9, 2023 Share Posted December 9, 2023 What happened to Rush Radio? Are they done? I usually listen to them when I want the out of context Rush experience but the site says the server "retired." Kind of a bummer. Usually listened to them once or twice a month. Are there any more stations like this? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bahamas Posted December 27, 2023 Share Posted December 27, 2023 I just discovered this tonight, went to the site for some background music while working and it was different. Used it fairly often, probably as recent as November? Silly me, I kept clicking around to find the Play Now radio button, saw lots of great nostalgia and recent Rush Con stuff for Geddy's tour. Then I looked closer and sure enough: Station: Rushradio.org Server Status: Retired. RIP 1998 - 2023. I liked it a lot, donated a couple of times and always got a prompt Thank you. Thank you Rush Radio Dot Org! And great website, in general, by the way :) I'll check out rushradio.net - thank you, Time Stood Still. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure I heard some of them on original, but it's been decades. I'm excited to listen to all the album releases just to hear the boys when they were young and just getting started. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never knew they existed until I found this one at Pier Platters in Hoboken. That was the first step down the Rush interview rabbit hole. They're great to pull out when I'm feeling a bit nostalgic. I'm going to check these out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
