Happy Birthday Stephanie!

May this be a time to reflect, create, appreciate and look forward to a happy and healthy year ahead! :]

Happy birthday Stevie!

Why didn’t Stevie get more birthday love?

Happy belated birthday, Steph!

Happy belated birthday, Steph!

Seems like when she got Lindsey fired, and ruined the legacy of the band, that that took a toll on her poopularity.

Well, they say that patience is a virtue.

Happy belated birthday, Steph!

There is more than one reason. Definitely her attitude and the 2018 events took a huge toll on the Ledgies. But besides that, as ledgie JohnL said in 2022, the constant insults towards her made some fans look for "better places to go discuss her". I don't know about those places but I realize many ledgies have stopped posting here.

Well, there used to be a board called Seven Wonders, where ONLY PRAISE of the queen was allowed...

That board went belly up at least a decade ago.

It couldn't possibly be the fact that a lot of long time fans were borderline "over it" before the events of 2018 even happened and that pretty much disenfranchised a whole bunch of her long time dedicated fans, only to be replaced by gen-z worshippers who think her current performances of Gypsy are "legendary" :]

People left because the Ledge changed after 2017/18. The vast majority of visitors simply left in disgust at the board, not at Stevie.

[UnwindedDreams]

There's nothing exciting that Stevie's doing these days. No new music or creative setlist.

I agree if you mean that actually is not The Ledge what changed, but the ledgies. They may have changed for many reasons, but what I feel is that the 90s and early 2000 Ledge was exempt from the hatred or anger that is now seen on social networks.

I bet people got sick of the trolling, flaming, and repeatedly hijacked threads since Lindsey was fired. So there is little activity most of the time.

Oh, I get sick of all that shatposting around here, too. But I can’t understand why more people don’t want to wish Steph a happy 76th birthday. She is Stevie, after all, with all her warts!

[HomerMcvie]

Hey now. That's getting a little personal.


Too soon? :rolleyes:

Seriously? It was near the end of that time period when the Ledge was blazing with flame wars usually centered around a prototypical basement dwelling troll known as the Arizona Ranger which resulted in a strike system being implemented for rule violations and the creation of an alternate universe site called the Black Ledge. If memory serves me right there may have even been real life defamation suits filed.:lol:

I didn’t wish Stevie Happy birthday as I don’t like her much these days.
I love love love most of her songs, especially the Fleetwood Mac ones..

But after she manoeuvred the sacking of Lindsey I lost a lot of respect for her.
Simple as that really.

Oh yes I had completely forgotten about the Black Ledge episode. I guess I remembered as an specific case, though I may be wrong. But nowadays sarcasm and aggressiveness swarm throughout many threads.

I agree. I wouldn't have any problem with people posting all day long in a "Stevie is evil" thread, but the way every unrelated topic gets steered in that direction is pretty tiresome.

This-- 100%.
