This really is a great forum

Post by robert goulet »

Hey Basers,

Since going to the Springsteen concert last week I've spent some time on some Bruce forums and one thing has become crystal clear...this truly is a great forum.

www.backstreets.com is the name of their main forum and although they have a huge amount of people posting on that site, it really lacks the polish and community that this one has. There is a ridiculous amount of multiple posts on the same topics, they don't have any separate sections for show reviews, setlists, downloading and trading...it's actually quite weak.

And when you combine the quality of this site with the awesome HipTracker, (which I know is temporarily down) what you get is a one-two punch that few other bands can boast and I for one am indebted to guys like Lance and Chris.

Great work fellas, thanks!

succinctly put, and I agree totally, I went through a period where I stopped posting on any forums. This one is the only one I truly missed, and thus far the only one I've returned to!

I also want to thank Lance and Chris. Their dedication to The Hip and the extra effort that they put into their websites is incredible! We would not have a Hip Community without them.

I have met Chris at a number of Hip shows. I consider him one of my friends. I have always enjoyed hanging out with Chris, Trevor and their friends at the concerts. I am so glad that I am part of the Hipbase and The HipTracker.

Agein, well put, after spending time with Chris, Trevor, Adrian and the others who participated in Eurohip I regard them as friends, and it is a pity I don't have more opportunity to share their company, great people!

Great forum for sure, Ive been on some others and none are as much fun as this one or as close knit I think.

I also met Chris once and I was very impressed, nice teeth, great posture. A class act.

Have been a fan from early on, and i can honestly say that after the Belleville show last year,and finding this forum my love for this band has never been greater.Thx to everyone for having me.peace.V

Certainly a great forum. Might be a decade late for me. I lost my sanity listening to Whorella rant you know where. Although, in one of those odd moments ... I met her at a Hip concert in Toledo and she gave me some free weed which was kinda nice. I'll never forget her friend's bright red cowboy boots. Oh yea. Madge ... that's her name. LOL.

Great forum.

Thanks for hip FTP too :)
