Blue J Posted September 12, 2015 Share Posted September 12, 2015 I think what is going on is that people think the band is over. At least with the last tour they said they were only taking a year or so off. I think people are still in depression about it. I can tell that my Facebook feed and groups that I'm in have been really slow as well.聽The band having no future plans right now certainly factors into this forum not being as active. That always happens around here for a bit after the band stops touring though. But at least during those down periods, we knew there would be some album/tour news coming at some point, now not so much. With the band possibly retiring, there are a lot of people you won't see around anymore since they only show up to talk about the latest tour/album. This place has gotten quieter recently but it's nowhere near as bad as other dying forums i've seen on the internet. This place will still be around for awhile longer.聽If the Rush sections are dead, there is usually stuff happening in music of the spheres. That section keeps this board alive when Rush isn't doing anything.聽There are other forums on the Internet? 聽 聽It's astonishing, they're dying everywhere. The times they are indeed a-changin'. Be very grateful for this one 聽Steevo, are you just talking about Rush forums, or forums in general aren't doing well? If the latter, I agree. I've noticed too that all of the ones that I would look in on haven't been doing well for a while now. I don't know what's happened, if people are just tired of them, or what.聽Other forums in general. From what I know for Rush there is nothing that comes close to TRF. They've also worked very hard here to make the design as fun and interactive as possible. If you know of another that can match it lmk.聽TBH if it wasn't for MOTS and all the variety that Rush fans listen to or can introduce new stuff there would be very little reason to come back here. No getting away from it though, the numbers are shrinking on here unfortunately.聽This is the only Rush forum that I am on, and I'm not on Facebook.聽Ditto here, on both of those counts.聽I have been on much smaller-community music forums in the past- one that only had a total of four subforums on it, total- and that one was around for several years. 聽I realize that may not be the most brilliant defense, but my point is that this forum is exponentially larger than others (non-Rush) that I've been on. I think TRF will probably be around for awhile, as long as the members' demand for it continues. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J2112YYZ Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 Facebook is how a lot of fans stay in touch now. That's caused internet forums to die out in recent years. I still think forums like this offer a better way to communicate than places like facebook and twitter do. I've seen forums a lot worse off than this one. Unless something catastrophic happens here, it will be a long time before the forum traffic gets so low that the place dies off. It's nowhere near that yet. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EagleMoon Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 I remember when Usenet/newsgroups were the main way on the internet to stay in contact with people who were fans of something. Wasn't really all that long ago, and they pretty much went by the wayside. Forums are similar to newsgroups but are really the best to talk to people who have similar interests. Facebook brings together all sorts of people, and makes it easy to stay in contact with friends and family. But they both have their place.

The Cat 3 Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 I was on Facebook for about two weeks years ago...just wasn't for me. Cancelled my account and moved on, never looked back. Sad that forums, like these are dwindling down. There are still core people to keep them alive...the Cheap Trick forum and Alice Cooper (SickthingsUK) forum are good examples of that. Paul McCartney's Maccaboard, a Genesis forum and David Bowie's forum (which has a similar setup as TRF) are still going strong. I've seen others fall by the wayside. Facebook is where they are all going. For personal use, Facebook is good way to keep in touch with family and friends.

EagleMoon Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 I think what is going on is that people think the band is over. At least with the last tour they said they were only taking a year or so off. I think people are still in depression about it. I can tell that my Facebook feed and groups that I'm in have been really slow as well.聽The band having no future plans right now certainly factors into this forum not being as active. That always happens around here for a bit after the band stops touring though. But at least during those down periods, we knew there would be some album/tour news coming at some point, now not so much. With the band possibly retiring, there are a lot of people you won't see around anymore since they only show up to talk about the latest tour/album. This place has gotten quieter recently but it's nowhere near as bad as other dying forums i've seen on the internet. This place will still be around for awhile longer.聽If the Rush sections are dead, there is usually stuff happening in music of the spheres. That section keeps this board alive when Rush isn't doing anything.聽There are other forums on the Internet? 聽 聽It's astonishing, they're dying everywhere. The times they are indeed a-changin'. Be very grateful for this one 聽Steevo, are you just talking about Rush forums, or forums in general aren't doing well? If the latter, I agree. I've noticed too that all of the ones that I would look in on haven't been doing well for a while now. I don't know what's happened, if people are just tired of them, or what.聽Other forums in general. From what I know for Rush there is nothing that comes close to TRF.

Lorraine Posted September 14, 2015 Author Share Posted September 14, 2015 Eagle, you are wise to stay out of SOCN. Narps, if he doesn't mind me saying, has a conciliatory personality - that's why he does well in there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
