Nim2 Posted March 30, 2011 Author Share Posted March 30, 2011 Thanks for the nice welcomes. RTF was very slow with Facebook taking a lot of members as well as infighting between members and mods and such. It was nice while it lasted. Good to see Envirotech and a few others over here.

nobodys hero Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 QUOTE (Cygnals @ Mar 29 2011, 04:31 PM) Wow--that is a shocker, but come to think of it, not surprising. It was slowing down so bad that the only one I saw posting with any regularity was SnowCat. Add to that the dramas and infighting between members, it was inevitable. I was a member there too (different screen name) for many years (since 2002), but glad to be here on TRF! Snowcat-=Troll Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought they folded a long time ago. I thought they were done after S&A Mark 2. . .I was trying to go over there some time ago - late 2009ish, I think - and couldn't find it. Anyhow, welcome! The traveling RTF banner was cool, with all the signatures on it. Is it still making the rounds? I had that banner in my hot little hands for both S&A legs. It was really a cool idea. I don't know if this is true of not but last I heard one of the admins. had it hanging in their basement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

circumstantial tree Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 I think I was a member of RushTour at one point. I think I joined but never really participated. Around that time I was posting primarily on Counterparts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unattractive Truth Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 I was a member of RTF for several years, and really enjoyed the meet-ups that followed. I met a lot of cool people there. Many of us left several months ago, for reasons that don't need to be brought over here. I really did like that board for a long while. I recognize several of you who have posted in this thread.

I am really starting to dislike the Face! Is that why you haven't integrated Facebook with TRF? Not that I'm complaining, of course. I can't see ever doing that. Facebook likes having its arrogant nose in everything -- they like you to think you can't survive life on the interwebz without it. This community has done okay so far without being umbilically joined to Facebook, and I can't think of a good reason to change that. Facebook seems like a love it/hate it kind of thing. I pretty much hate it on principle -- I think it's an incredibly intrusive website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aside from your feelings about it, what effect did the FB integration have on the ProgArchives site itself? Seemed to attract people who wanted to contribute to single topics, or topics just about certain bands. We also got an increase in unsuitable bands (ie non-Prog) being suggested for inclusion on the database. On the whole I guess it was mainly a win for the Webmaster in terms of hits for the site. We also seem to get more spam. Then again we don't "approve" new registrations... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
