Tom Sawyer Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 I cross post, here, there, occasionally elsewhere. I do it because I like to be me, here I am a mellower me, not as confrontational. I post/read at CP because there is certain peeps I like to read and share with there. I do the same here. It's a different feel, a different culture - sorta I'm not saying you should go there or you should hang here more. I'm just curious is all. Do you/don't you cross post? To be honest, I was much more involved here, at first that place seemed a bit unruley, then I started to like the unruleyness sometimes, in some ways. Hey, we don't eat the same food everyday, we don't listen to the same music every day (ok, I do, but I'm weird) so why be exclusive about messageboards? I like this place, I like CP, I like TRC. I visit and post/read at different times, frequencies and styles at each. When in Rome, y'know? Because they're the people that you meet when you're walking down the street, these are the people in your Rush neighborhood. Like neighbors, there is different strokes for different folks. It's all cool! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarkCityJay Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 I don't cross-post because I've voluntarily listened to Rush exactly once in the past three years. I'm at CP for friends that I've known for 6+ years, not for Rush. Just because I don't listen to 'em anymore doensn't mean I should stop hanging out with my buds at CP.

rushgoober Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 it seems like most people choose one as their primary or exclusive locale, but there are of course exceptions. for me i just found a home here at TRF, and even though i enjoy CP from time to time, i never got as comfy there. i found it harder to get to know people at CP, not because there aren't plenty of friendly peeps, but just because of the sheer size of it. i'm sure if i started out there, i would have felt CP was my home. i do hope to do more posting at CP, so i can feel more at home there too.

Signals1982 Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 My first home is CP. Still love it there. But I find myself over here mostly now. It's a different environment. I like them both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rattler2004 Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 I cross post, not as much as I used to though. CP is where I post mostly. Sometimes things can get alittle ugly there...you know it to be true. TRF is more laid back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
circumstantial tree Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 I like both CP and TRF. I cross post, but I tend to stick with one community over the other depending on the mood. I've been a member at CP longer. Hell, I'm member #38 out of how many thousand? This place is more comfy but CP is a "let it all hang out(the good, bad and ugly)" type of place.

Sodoff Baldrick Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 Simple reason, I don't have a lot of time to devote to two boards. I like both, but I came to CP first and cemented a few close friendships there. But I like to come back here and give the Geddy thread a good bump.

This place is more comfy but CP is a "let it all hang out(the good, bad and ugly)" type of place. interestingly, there are a handful of people - the names that come to mind at the moment are circumstantial tree and grandpa grizz, but there are others i'm not thinking of right now, who consider CP their primary home and have way more posts there. they have enough posts here, however, and spend enough time here that i consider them TRF'ers, even though for them it's a secondary distinction. no biggie, it's just an interesting thing i've noticed...

madra sneachta Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 Different vibes, TRF is my 'home', but I'm still very active in the CP CD Exchange (insert Len jibe here Hi PM&S!!) and visit CP a few times a week. Madra/Donalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grandpa Grizz Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 Post totals: CP--10,000+ TRF--1500+ I love both boards, but to be honest, I find the discussions at CP more interesting. I hang out here mainly because there are a lot of people here that I like a lot. I also post at RushCon, By-Tor and TRC, and a couple of +LiVE+ boards.

Cygnalschick Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 The few times I have gotten on CP I was impressed with the variety of topics they have, that we don't have here. However, like others here on TRF, I guess I've kinda made this my home and just have a natural tendency to come here more. But I do have a few really good friends over on CP. Any Rush fans are awesome to me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wandering Hermit Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 Well, as CPers know, I'm mostly interested in religion and philosophy, and we have specific forums for that there. I'm not sure how those topics would go over here. I guess I need to hang out more and figure that out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wandering Hermit Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 Something else I noticed is that this site is far more animated in terms of the visuals. I like that, but it also makes it harder to surf at work and not look so obviously like I'm not working. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

During my last period of philosophical/religious pondering phase I went to hang out at CP a bit for more than just taking over their version of the caption a random image game, and I met WH and really liked the place. I go through phases with religion and philosophy being a big thing in my life so I didn't hang out there too much, and then when i won a round of caption a random image just cause someone didn't like tick ( go figure... ), I just stopped going. I may check it out again though. Everything should get second chances, eh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyBlaze Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 The first message board I ever joined was geddylee.net which came out just after his solo album. That board led me to CP. I first joined CP in 2000 or 2001. I stopped going there because I was distracted (in a positive way) and just got out of touch. Then last year I was thinking about CP and somehow it led me to find TRF in the summer. I've been here since Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

plodder Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 I tried CP but it didn't come over as welcoming to new members as here and I felt lost a bit. Can't see me ever going back there to be honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that there's a new religious sub-forum that is even more ideal for me, I plan on visiting that when CP comes back up. Other than that, it's mostly a matter of not enough time for more than one board, but we'll see... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucid Seer Posted May 12, 2006 Share Posted May 12, 2006 I've been at CP for...well, I seemed to have forgotten. I'm member 58 of the current incarnation and was a member before the big crash in '01 that forced us all to rejoin, so it's been awhile. I've always been aware of other boards--I've been banned from Tri-Nut 3 times, once as Lucid Seer and twice under alters, but CP has always been the place that's been accepting of all my different moods & behaviors. I've lurked here as a guest a few times, but honestly found it to be a little dull. CP is the only message board of any kind that I post in and it meets my needs in everyway. However, with CP down for so long, I have to say that I'm very thankful that TRF is here and since I've joined and started posting, no longer think it's dull. Of course, TRF is no CP, but that doesn't make either board any less or any greater; just different. I'll probably stick around here long enough to qaulify for the political forum, just so I can see what it's like in comparison to the Unmentionables.
