Why don't you hit 'em up and find out? You only live once. :p:lol:

All I'm getting at the moment is School of Rock tickets, Lake District holiday cottages and XBox paraphernalia- I'm guessing my step-son has been on my computer recently. If Russian ladies pop-up he's in trouble.

Haha! I'm getting travel ads, FM eBay articles, and concerts ads. Never ever an obscene ad pop up on my computer when I log in. Yep, I'm a saint. :rolleyes:

I watch porn ALL THE TIME, and I don't get sex ads on here.

What am I doing wrong? :lol::lol::lol:

You use the Incognito mode or clean your cookies and browser history often?

Nah, I don't have to clean any of.... that stuff! :lol::lol::lol:

As SisterNightroad said go Incognito mode.

Who needs a porn site when we've got the Ledge?
I remember that one night...

And I have no interest in what old Hillary has been doing.

If I can get FuzzyPlum and David (Homer) to spot me,
I'll follow through and report back.

So, wait, under your logic, I should get porn ads.... :xoxo:

Damn, why don't I get porn ads, so I can see what the world has to offer me? :]:]:]

And they say this site is dead.... :rolleyes:

Please do. I've been living like a virtual nun these days. :lol: Also please spill the beans about your post above this one. Why does Hillary sound familiar but I can't place her?

I can't say this about all Russian ladies but...
One of my friends works with a guy who met
and then married one of Russia's best. And I'd
bet you could guess what eventually happened.

I'd be glad to comment on old Hillary, but I'm sure
that the comment would be moved to the netherworld
of the Ledge. Which is without a doubt the "Chit-Chat"
section. Where all post and threads go to die.

Or any section:shrug: Even the once bustling Stevie forum is now virtually a ghost town strewn with tattered chiffon and rusting tambourines and where nothing is heard but the mournful coo of a lone white winged dove.:(

Suddenly things have cleared up for me, and I was able to load the Main Forums page and log in almost instantly for the first time in months.

Maybe something has been done?

Anyway, hurrah!

Yippeeeeee..!!!
On in 5 seconds.

Normal service has resumed.

yes!! it's even loading on my phone now! :thumbsup::blob2:

You’re all welcome. ;)

Yes!!!

I can be my usual snarky self again! :p:p

Hi - I don’t think popups are the reason this board is dead and sucks. I think the main reason is that nearly every thread turns into obnoxious misogynistic backslapping posts between a couple of guys about Stevie. I came to the board last year interested in intelligent discussion about my favorite band but quickly saw no need to waste time on such a pathetic board. Meaningful criticism and debate about the band and its members would be fine but that’s not what exists here.

Buster

That’s a nice opinion. That’s how the Ledge has been since I started in 1997. Let’s not forget the Black Ledge incident of 1998.

But that is not why people can’t get on and had not been able to get on for three or four months. Traffic dropped considerably.

I guess that counts me out.

Black Ledge was before my time(2003) here, but around 2007 was when there was also a mass exodus, with several other boards started, by disgruntled members who left. Yes, I was one of them, but came back after a couple? years.

My point is the board goes in cycles. There are lifers, and people like me who were obsessed and here daily for hours all night. Yes. The Black
Ledge scared a bunch of people away from the cyber bullying including someone I was good friends with and a very pretty girl that I went to the first show of Enchanted tour with. (Front row) I was 17-20 years old. I got a “life” finally and became more an lurker. I’ve seen ups and down years here. This was an UP year with the Stevie and BM tours. Both Ledge forums were much deeper until the Ads got out of hand. You can already see that traffic is WAY up from the number of guests that show up as currently browsing and people logged in. It was DEAD before. Just the people smart enough to install Ad Blocker

I agree with your points, but really, imo, when facebook and the like took the world by storm, that was THE major hit to all sites like this. We'll never see the heyday(for me, like 2004/2005) like we had back then. And that has nothing to do with ads, or a dinosaur band, or as*holes here. The times have changed, and technology with it.

I'm a lifer too. When they're dead and gone, I might stop talking about them then. :lol:

Except Stevie, because she's my favorite!

I have a feeling you'll still be talking about her. :laugh:

What's a lifer, Anthony? :lol:

Imma passionate dart player at home. :woohoo:

Wake me up when your papers are in order..

Your favorite what?

Is goat breath a noun? :laugh:

:xoxo::xoxo::xoxo::xoxo::xoxo:


:p:p:p:p:p

I'm glad I didn't say that.:woohoo:

I already know I'll regret it, but what't the "Black Ledge"?

From what I remember, it was sort of an "underground" Ledge started by people who had either been banned by the original Penguin/Ledge owner/moderator, or left on their own accord when others were banned. Lots of the content was geared toward knocking/bashing the "real" Ledge. The incident I think eventually lead to the Ledge being shut down for a few months as a sort of cooling off period, then re-launching around '99 or '00 in the format we have today.

That was pretty much the way 3 other boards were started. Sort of...
"Seven Wonders" began as a result of a Ledge crash. It was down for a couple days?, and we had so much traffic then, people were freaking out, so it(SW) began as a "free message board". But it rapidly turned into a Stevie worship site. If you dared say ANYTHING bad about her, you were banned from the board.

There were two other "underground" boards like Black Ledge. The first? was Horsemanity(one of the things that caused the 2007 exodus was that the mods[one in particular] were out of control. One night, one person asked a bunch of us to put a pic of the backside of a horse as our sig pic. I think 17 of us did, and 13 got temporarily banned[no explanation why 4 people didn't] The bans were lifted after only a day or so, but people were PISSED, so we left). That group went on for a while, until we figured out that there was a spy in the group. So that group was abandoned, and a new group was started, called Homanity, obviously excluding the spy.

That said, ^, in retrospect, those two groups were MEAN. I mean, I know I can dish it out, but the groups were too mean for me. Hate and snark, 24/7. A few of us left the group after a while, because it was a very negative place to be. I used to have it bookmarked, but can't find it now. Hopefully it died. There was one instigator who was behind both groups, the horse's ass pic we all posted,...all of it! It took YEARS until they finally banned her from The Ledge. Her name starts with a C...

I don't remember all the deets of who hated who, but searching just now, I found a blog from a former Ledge member, who apparently wasn't liked by the "in crowd".

(insert witchy cackle here) :laugh::laugh::laugh::] Still here bitches! "I see myself remaining when all of you are gone." That said, I have neither the time nor the energy to go down that particular trolling rabbit hole again. It sure could pass an afternoon though.

You were a mod? Because it wasn't you, to whom I was referring.

Yuuup. :cool:
