x1yyz Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 I don't know. I still don't feel at home here.Really? Wonder why if you don't mind? If you mind going into it that's cool too. I would add that I still feel "some" anxiety when I post. The fear of being misunderstood still being the culprit mostly..... To be honest, I guess because there seems to be such a high percentage of people here who just like bullying and trolling. It's much worse during non-touring time, like now, but I'm using to being on forums where trolling isn't allowed. If someone would start posting the kind of crap that gets by on this forum they would get warned, and then banned. I enjoy the threads and the camaraderie here, but it's not a very comforting place to be sometimes. yeah, the hostile attitude here can be a real downer. if you want some civil discussion, I'd encourage a trip to 4chan or reddit. they all love rush and they don't bully, tell jokes, or use swear words at all. they just use emoticons and talk about arthritis and gardening. But do they start intelligent threads? Some here want intelligent threads. Maybe you can help them out. 4chan is pretty much a think tank. :LMAO: :rfl: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lost In Xanadu Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 (edited) I haven't replied because I have been thinking about this... and really can't think of anyone but ILSnwdog. He is also the only one from TRF that I have hung out with, and I've met him and his family a few times. I have talked to workingcinderellaman, but we haven't met..... yet :) But aside from that, it's the people that make me feel at home every time I visit. There are so many here that do that. There are also people that get me, and I appreciate that... you know who you are :) I don't want to name names because my biggest worry is leaving someone off, but the OP is definitely one... Narp another. I love how Narp is always in high spirits and takes a little ribbing better than anyone I know. There are also times when 73 and I (usually joined by others) have random conversations pretending TRF is a real place... with furniture and kitty litter and crazy stuff like that. Those little moments really make this place worth the price I paid to join. Edited September 10, 2014 by Lost In Xanadu 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USB Connector Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 This is the first forum I've joined where the members actually read your post because they're interested and not because they want to tear you a new one. Unlike other forums I've been on the regulars are actually really nice as opposed to high strung and power tripping from their post count. What made me feel at home and stay? All of you guys. The community is good for a joke, a debate or a game. I recall Rushgoobers radio show made for some amazing conversations in chat. I would have TRF chat and the radio show going on in one screen while trying to get work done in the other. I didn't want to miss a thing. Also GeddysMullet helped me through a particularly tough time...I miss her. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laughedatbytime Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 The two people who really helped me get my illustrious TRF career started were Babycat and laughedatbytime. Babycat was super nice right from the start, and I enjoyed shooting the breeze with LABT in the myriad game threads.Thanks, C-1...I've enjoyed our banter too! It's been great... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geez. LABT has been awesome to me since I have been here too. He seems to "get me" and my brand of humor. LIX makes me feel good and puts a smile on my face every time he is around and I very much appreciate his concern during the "bad times". They seem to be getting close to ending however. I have a feeling real good times are just ahead.... :cheers: Truth is without this place I would have lost my marbles. No joke...

The Analog Grownup Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 as for folks who made me "feel at home" - I'd have a beer with narp, snowdog, xanadood...that might be it. :)Good to see you around. Young man like you must be busy as hell with all kinds of stuff. I got nothing better to do than post like there is no tomorrow.... :cheers: :D actually I'm not busy at all! college is 10 hours a week, mostly a breeze, and I'm still jobless! so we're in the same boat If that's the same in Denmark I might go back to school. I would get paid to do so :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KennyLee Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 Hmmm. The first people who made me feel comfortable were (in no particular order): Babycat, Your_Lion, Narpski, EagleMoon, GeddysMullet and gangsterfurious. Others were nice enough and polite and cool, but these people always just seemed to accept me quicker. Sorry you don't feel at home, Eagle. Anything I can do? I appreciate the thought. You're one of the normal ones around here. The rest of these people are looney. I've never been excluded from the "looney" group before. :ebert: 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lorraine Posted September 10, 2014 Author Share Posted September 10, 2014 Truth is without this place I would have lost my marbles. No joke... Me too. I keep saying I'm leaving, but I always come back. Why? This place makes me smile and laugh. A sorry commentary on my life, I know, but that is the way it is. So....cheers to everyone here :cheers: :cheers: :cheers: and a big "thank you" :mwah: :mwah: :mwah: from me to all of you! The good here heavily outweighs the occasional bad. I really do wish though that Rush genuinely knew the quality of the people who call themselves their fans. :) 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
