yea, that domino effect is probably always going to happen with shows that have a very popular rush, which is very frustrating. For one thing, you have to get up super early, and then you have to waste 2-3 hours in line, just standing around. I often wished they'd at least hand out numbers so that you can leave, sit in a Starbucks or someplace else warm and come back at 10, but that obviously doesn't work because there is nobody at the BO before 10am...
I like that there is topic for every show where people can share their experiences, which is also much more detailed than the rush report ever was. You get to hear what the seat locations are, how many people were in line by 10, how many tickets they sold ect.
Ideally, if this was a bit bigger and more structured, there could be a section for rush/lottery report topics, that could state the policy in the first post ect. This would save you searching for the topic (and stop people from starting new ones if one already exists), but this isn't that kinda forum. So just use the search function and you'll usually find something for every show, and can then ask for more current experiences if it's not very current.
