Godot Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 For me, it was after the Rain Date cancellation on Rush's show in July '10 over in Chicago. I had heard from a comment on a post of Rush's on facebook that somebody was suing (yes, that Chris guy) I decided to check it out, and lo and behold I was brought both here, and Counterparts. I have to say, counterparts had a LOT of entertaining bashings on this guy, but needless to say, I became intrigued with The Rush Forum How about you guys?

IChoseFreeWill Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 Sometime during 2010. I would come here as a lurker hoping to find out the setlist of the Time Machine tour. Specifically whether they would play Freewill. I liked the concert so much, I decided to join! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TullSkull Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 It was 4-20-08 that I found this place, I was looking around for the set list for the S&A Tour.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apetersvt Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 Wanting to keep up to date with rumors and news about the band, I was on the forum at rush.com (which was discontinued). I did an internet search for "rush message boards" and stumbled upon this place. I have enjoyed the ride ever since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeddysMullet Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 Looking for a place to enthuse, I googled "Rush forum" in a dopey haze of newly-discovered passion the day after my first Rush gig, and this was the first link I got. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
On TheRoad To Adventure Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 I was in serious need of another Rush concert, and anxiously awaiting the 2011 leg of the TM tour. I had been to my second concert in 2010, and was reading up on Rush news on the rushisaband site. Someone mentioned this site, so I thought I'd check it out. Now have 2 places to connect with other Rush fans! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USB Connector Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 I was trying to find an early leak for BU2B/Caravan singles. Google popped up with a TRF search result for leaked lyrics to caravan. I had to sign up to view the thread so I did, only to find out that it was obviously fake (it was about a dodge caravan). I posted a few times and then forgot about the site until they announced the second leg and the tickets went on sale for Montreal. That's when I became an active poster.

CMWriter Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 I was actually looking for an REO Speedwagon forum (and I did not find one sadly) when I got to thinking, "Hey, I wonder if there's a forum for RUSH fans?" So I just did a Google search and, voila, here I came. And that was about a year and a month ago. (: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cyclonus X-1 Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 (edited) Back in the ancient days of last month, I was searching for some Rush info or interviews on the web and came upon this place. I read through a bunch of threads, liked a lot of the discussions, and decided to sign up. That's my fascinating story.

Todem Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 (edited) I was lurking around here for years but joined once I saw my beloved Rushtour.com was falling apart on the dawn of the Time Machine Tour announcement. Great forum here and glad I found you all. I also post over at Counterparts. Totally different vibe and i enjoy some peeps over there as well.

Undemanding Contact Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 Well, it's a long story but, in a nutshell, I was abducted by aliens a while back. Once inside their spaceship, the scaly little buggers started attaching electrodes to my head, so I decided to pass the time by making polite conversation (like you do). The first thing that came to mind was to ask them what kind of music they were into back home (Antares III as I recall) and, to my astonishment, one of the lizardy little things clicked its mandibles and said: 'We are into Rush, big-time'. It then looked at me with all three of its eyes and continued: 'Do you know that your Internet system has an excellent forum concerning the band? It's the reason why we are here. We picked up some Internet traffic that leaked from a communications satellite, and which contained some forum-posts, and this prompted us to pay you guys a visit because we want to get front-row tickets for the next gig'. In the light of this, I looked up the forum when I got back home, and have been a happy member ever since. Speaking seriously, I joined on the 9th of June in 2009. I lurked around here for over a year previously, having discovered the forum through Googling all things Rush one afternoon when I was bored with work. I have never been abducted by aliens; well, not that I remember. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ancient Ways Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 Found an old board named trinet and was a member there. It went belly up and MiTA (a member here but more active on CP) gave me the heads up about this board. I am a member at CP but rarely go there. This is the shit.

PolarizeMe Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 I joined at the start of 2010 primarily because someone on here had the audio of the missing songs from the R30 BluRay and at the time, I didn't have a BluRay player or rather PS3, so I figured why not you know? Plus I couldn't stand not hearing those cut tracks anymore, so I eventually gave in and joined. When I did get the R30 BluRay tracks from the guy, I was a bit weirded out by the fact La Villa sounded almost exactly how I thought it would sound on R30. Actually, I joined TRF and also Counterparts the same day and the same exact time, but I think my account here got through quicker than my Counterparts one so I decided to stick to TRF instead since this was the one I go on most often. Plus, this was more easier to remember out of the two for many reasons. Prior, I had been lurking around here from time to time for...at least 2 years, maybe even less. And I think choosing this over Counterparts really paid off cause I enjoy this place and the people a lot. Two thumbs up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shreddy Lee Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 I was getting more and more into Rush and wanted to find a forum about the band. Upon searching I resulted in pretty much just here and Counterparts. Knowing nothing about either, I did some looking around to see what kind of place each was, and fairly quickly chose this place. Judging from what I always hear around here about CP's reputation, I chose correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unattractive Truth Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 I joined about 9 months ago. I had been a member of another Rush Forum for many years, until it was destroyed in a hail of drama and stupidity. I don't remember exactly, but I probably googled.

Bastille Dave Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 (edited) I think a few years ago I was looking up info on Rush and stumbled across the Counterparts Forum. It was cool for a while but I got tired of some of the a-holes on there. I heard about The Rush Forum from there and that was that.

Invisible To Telescopic Eye Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 (edited) I was looking for info on S&A before its release (There was a lot of hype). Don't know how I was directed here though. EDIT After reading some other posts I realize I too was directed here by RIAB...Thanks RIAB.

cloudmine2011 Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 I joined b/c i wanted to find out about the Rush sectors box sets.....i have the 97 remasters and i wanted to find out if the new remasters were worth buying. So far it seems like a good idea to buy from what i have read on here. Also does the 24 gold karat recording of RTB match up to the 5.1 dvd in the box sets.

An Enemy Without Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 Well about a year ago I joined when my friend told me about it. Forgot for a few months, realized my posts per day was in the crapper, hated my username, so I made a new account. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
