Khan Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 QUOTE (Lerxster @ Aug 23 2012, 10:23 AM) QUOTE (thesweetscience @ Aug 22 2012, 04:41 PM) QUOTE (Lost In Xanadu @ Aug 22 2012, 04:50 PM) I know they have no immediate plans, but just purely out of curiosity. I have a feeling Rush is one of those bands that will keep the fans together for a long time after they are retired. I will be honest, I did not buy the last two rush albums. I also have not purchased tickets to the upcoming tour and I probably won't. I seldom even listen to the band any more. It's been years since I heard a rush song that wasn't playing on the radio. Despite all that, I still come here. I seldom talk about rush when I come here. As a matter of fact, the idolization of the band that goes on around here is what is mostly responsible for my recent disinterest. In the past 3 or 4 years I have just found much more interesting music to listen too I guess. If I stop coming here it will probably be because the mods kick me out. It will have nothing to do with the status of the band. This may be the first documented case of TRF turning a member off of Rush. Perhaps your member title should be 'Rush is overrated'. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v423/KublaKhan/laughing-1.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

apetersvt Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 I'm still active on a Grateful Dead message board (that I signed up for in 1994). Their last show was 17 years ago. There are certainly a lot fewer posts now then back in the day. Plus the surviving memebers are still touring in various outlets. I'm guessing that when Rush retires, this board will remain active for years. In the main forum statistics, there have been 729,000 or so replies on the Rush side of things (of which, most of the New World Women forum posts are non-Rush related). There have been 891,000 or so replies on the General Discussion side of things (not including the Sense O Clock News posts either, as it shows 0 for me). The fact that there have been more non-Rush related posts than Rush related posts would make me believe it will still go strong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SOCN: 271,480 For the record, I got a total of nearly 1.5 M replies in the Gen Discussions (with SOCN), your other total was accurate.
