I've been on TRF about 4 years now, but TRF was formed a couple of years before that... But a question for the real old members.... what formed first TRF or CP?  And weren't both kind of formed from the whole TRInet debacle?

No, CP has been around for longer than us, and were up at the same time TRInet was up. TRInet went under, and CP survived.

 

TRF had nothing to do with TRInet at all. We just kind of appeared on our own.

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.

Know what would be cool? A little timeline for when these boards started, and if and when they shut down. Just for a little historical perspective.

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.

What about Rush.com? Didn't Geddy Lee have his own website called My Favorite Headache, around 2003? Last year, I found it was a part of Rush.com, via Rush.net. Or have I got it wrong?

Thinking about it, MFH must've been about 2000 - has it gone?

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.

When geddylee.net closed I started rushforum.net (no "the" and of no relation to this forum). I have backups going back to late 2000. A few years later I decided to make it not just Rush related, opening it up for other topics and changing the name and domain to randominteraction.net. I decided to give up hosting a forum and dealing with trolls in 2008 and closed up shop.

 

The early days were great. I met my wife in 2002 on my forum and many other wonderful people, the Queen included.
