Has Stevie’s behavior killed the Ledge?

In addition to other members’ comments on the quality of postings diminishing over the years, I believe the statement above is also correct. This type of platform is quite archaic.

In order to get to the quality information, one must wade through endless posts of petty name-calling and conjecture. And while there appears to be some useful discourse, most of it is a reminder of how limited the human race is, in capacity for thought and communication. And that’s a blanket statement regardless of which FM camp you belong to.

I feel like you are calling me a chimp.

What they said up there. ^^^ It's 2019 and message boards aren't the thing anymore. Which is a shame, because I quite like the format. I won't speak for anyone else, but for me, I guess I grew out of my "extreme fandom" phase as I grew older, had kids, started a family, all that stuff. I'm still very much a fan, just a calmer one. I can't believe I still remember my login here. Jeez, so many memories!

I agree. Maybe it’s my age, but I enjoy this type of forum — even as an observer. And you’re right, priorities, like life itself, change for some. Though, clearly, not for everyone.

Ha, yes, that was me! I would kill to have that kind of free time these days. I don't even remember what happened with the website back then. I think I probably got especially busy with work at one point, then just kinda moved on. It's cool to see that this board has stood the test of time though!

I know you put a ton of work into that site, thank you!

If I were speaking about -- or to you -- I would do so directly.

For example: I find your posts compelling, but not in the way you probably think. I find them compelling because for someone who posts so often on this forum, you contribute very little in the way of valuable content! In fact, part of me wants to believe that you're the original beta test for all of the trolls which now pepper the internet; because, sometimes I can't believe some of the crap you come up with! Of course, I joke -- you're all too real. But, you see, Jondalar, that's the problem. So am I calling you a "chimp"? No, I think that would be giving you too much credit.

You’re my new hero!
