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.

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.

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.

It's pretty unfair to paint a whole community like that with such a broad and judgmental brush.

I agree. And I was going to put that in there as well. I'm sure the majority on there are great. But the last few times I've browsed Counterparts there just seemed to be a quite a few that wanted to shoot everybody else down. I get tired of that whole everything Rush has done after 1980 sucks vibe.

So, you get a bad vibe from that board. Doesn't make it a bad place, just means it's not up your alley.

 

I'll reiterate what I said earlier in this thread -- if CP were a bad place no one would go there. That board has been around a lot longer than we have, and lots of people still hang there. They must be doing something right...

What ever happened to I think it was Rush.net? Was that a board run by the band? If it is the one I'm thinking of that was a very cool place. This is one fine board as well. Congrats!

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'! yes.gif

indeed

 

even the profoundly over-used 'epic' would've been a wholly appropriate adjective

CP stopped being fun for me. There is a very cliquish, core group of "insiders" who relentlessly harass and insult certain individuals. Threads often degenerate into really nasty, ugly flame wars. I don't see much of that here at TRF. And I don't see TRF priding itself on being a "Biker Bar" or a "Snake Pit", in other words, some sort of force to be reconned with... Oooooooo.....eyesre4.gif TRF suits me just fine. new_thumbsupsmileyanim.gif

you obviously haven't been back since 2008 or so - that kind of behavior is all but gone, Cyg

oh there's plenty of that here

 

the TRF Administration takes a much more 'hands on' approach in threads, so 'flame wars' tend to be much more petty and juvenile (the nasty and ugly is edited out)

 

nonetheless, there's considerably more of that type of behavior here than at CP

again, CP hasn't been a "Biker Bar" for over two years
