presto123 Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 I used to post there as well. 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.

IChoseFreeWill Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 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.

Todem Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 (edited) I used to be a very regular poster at Rushtour which was my first ever Rush board/community. I still have some great friends over there that I see almost every tour. But the board died after the Snakes Tour. Things got way to personal, and facebook happened. I go over there here and there to check in but rarely post. I moved on to Counterparts and The Rush Forum. I like both boards a bunch for different reasons. Counterparts...you better have a thick skin and the Brits crack me up big time. Over here it feels more like Rushtour. Less hate and more gloating about our favorite band. It's all good to me. I am here to talk about Rush and music.....that is it. Edited February 17, 2011 by Todem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Babycat Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 I've had a look in Counterparts... I agree - you do need a thick skin, something I don't seem to have. I doubt I'd join it. With TRF, it's so friendly. Before I joined, I'd had a look, liked the layout, saw some fantastic threads, read some very good comments & thought: yeah, I like this. I'm having such a lot of good fun. You guys are the best! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a weird thing about Counterparts. It wasn't like that way back. I stopped going there regularly about 8 years, then went back a few times over the last couple of years and it seemed like a completely different forum. I'm not complaining I'm just saying the whole vibe seemed to change for whatever reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same story for me. I still post more over at RushTour but a lot of out right fights there between members, and between members and mods, has killed the board. I've been lurking here some more and likely will be here much more as RT is dying a slow death. A lot of members are now using Facebook much more as well. ALso still have a lot of friends there but am open to making new friends here. And SnowCat may have mental issues.

Just saying. I posted briefly and sporadically a good while back on RushTour, but mostly stopped because the board moved so slowly. Even interesting threads would get maybe 1 or 2 responses a day. Is that still the case? I liked the people there, it just seemed there were either too few of them or they didn't like posting very much, at least in any threads I was interested in...

Digital Man Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 People have different personalities, so do the different Fourms. None of them are any better or worse than the others. 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

circumstantial tree Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 I think I'm much less of a fan of forums than I used to be. Before this whole "forum" concept came to be, I used to have to deal with non-fans questioning why I liked Rush. With the forums, I now have to deal with fans who question why I like or dislike a certain Rush album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
