how and why did you decide to "ledge" it??
 

And i know it's the greatest place on Earth. That's not what I'm talking about. I mean-how did you come to know the ledge. What prompted you to join? How did you feel when first joined?? Etc. Who were some of the people that were around back in the day, that you miss?? etc. You know...let's talk about feeeeeeeeeelings....:laugh: well..let's not get THAT carried away;)

alright. I guess I'll go first, since I started this mess.

About 4 years ago when I was in college-I looked up lyrics for FM. I came across buckingham nicks and read all the "speculations" (I love that :D ) but was terrified of joining the board :laugh: Eventually, 2 years later, I joined but it crashed a couple of months later :( :( I was devastated. NOW what was I going to do??? I had "heard" about the ledge, but to be honest, it scared the **** out of me. It was so big, and, yeah-I had heard the horror stories :laugh: So I lurked. But then I got tired of not being able to post, so I decided I would join. Lux helped me find an appropriate email account and I was ret to go. I probably only lurked for a few weeks until I dove in and started talking. and haven't stopped since :laugh:

I think most of the people are still around when I first joined. Dissention of course is the only one that comes to mind that has left. I'm sure there are more-but most of those left pre-michellenumbersafterhername

haha! good thread. i found the ledge when lisa kept sending me pictures & links from here. i joined a couple months later. the first posters i took note of were david o., chilid, dissention, paula, and amber. i didn't post a lot at first, but then david o. started a thread about me, and i became more confident in jumping in around here. that was about a year ago, now you people will never get rid of me!!

I joined in October of 2000...I've been around forever. I've seen many a ledgie come and go and I've wished that many a ledgie would go :p

I was turned on to the Ledge by a gal who doesn't post anymore - but I met her and her mother at the Stevie AHI in 2000 in Phoenix and I do believe on of their first questions to me was "are you a Ledgie?" and I was like.."huh?"

Then I met another Ledgie from my town - and signed up - he no longer posts either.

I remember many of the Ledgies of old....some are still here which is awesome....some I miss...some I do not (can we say Arizona Ranger?). The Ledge goes through phases - and I go through phases with The Ledge....

It's the one and only message board I am on and I can't imagine going to/posting at another as frequently as I do here.

Well, since 2003 I live breathe and sleep FM and Stevie. So, I figured I needed a place that has people that feel the same way. I think I actualy found out about it on Nicksfix........:nod:

But yeah, Ledge is AWESOME. Great people, great fun, great times and a heck of a lot of FREAKINGLY GREAT music.

Much Love,
Ethan

I lurked since the early days, when it was all one big board. I remember many great people and some not so great ones. Remember that fight Tyrisha got into :eek: I think it got them banned. I finally joined in 2003 likely in a political thread :laugh: Actually, I think it was not that. I like it here and have met some really great people both on and off the board. I can honestly say I have never personally met a Ledgie I did not like.

:lol: Tyshiria...ah Mimi I believe her name was? haha..I had forgotten about her.....:laugh:

I just searched her name to see if any of those threads still exist. I remember lurking her and just laughing my a$$ off at some of the shiitte that came out of her mouth.

haha! I remember Tyshiria, and Arizona Ranger... good times... good times...

I think I joined in February 2001. I saw it and was like "ooh! Cool Fleetwood Mac message board." I just joined instantly. I've never been a marathon poster, but I've been here regularly since. I've not met too many Ledgies, but the few I have met I've liked. Anyone remember BBallgypsy or Jessica Leigh? Those were the first two I really spoke to. And Johnny Stew. He has always been a sweetie to me, since the very beginning. I've seen some crazy **** in the past 6 years on here! And I still love it here!

I started posting on the old board in 1997, in April or so? after they announced they were doing the Dance. I had lurked for a bit before that, but the excitement of the Dance announcement brought a lot of people in. I was 14.

I've been posting on the Ledge over half my life. How completely insane is that? It's comforting to know it's here still, and nostalgia is probably why I stick around.

Wow. That's pretty amazing.

Well, I had The Very Best of... and The Dance, and I wanted to talk about them with someone. :shrug: :p And of course I had to go out and buy the rest of the albums to know what everyone was talking about. :laugh: Overall, The Ledge cost me a lot of money. Esp. the store that wanted $30 for FM Live. :rolleyes:

I remember BBallGypsy and Jessica Leigh was one of the first Ledgies I met in person (she was friends with the ledgie dude from my town). I haven't heard from Jessica in forever - last time I saw her was at the SYW show in Phoenix...but I remember both of them well...

I was not a marathon poster until somewhat recently...

LOL - I likely have instigated some of the bedlam :angel:

I really like Jessica Leigh. I have a suspician she likely lurks here.

Remember when we first met Chicago at, I think Banana Republic on Michigan Ave. We were like - I GOTTA GO SMOKE!!!!!! Actually, I have a picture of that somewhere :eek: Then, happening in on that steakhouse where La Nicks had recently eaten :eek: and then having LARGE fruity drinks and discussing finances, which could have been greatly helped by spending less on booze and cigs - NOT :laugh: good times indeed.

I met Jessica Leigh somewhere... Chicago maybe?? After Jason died, she gave me her cell phone number and told me to call. We spoke a few times, but it's been a long time since she's posted.

I was looking for an MP3 of the Midnight Special version of Rhiannon, and after checking all of the fansites I clicked here. I had to join to post my request, and stayed pretty quiet for awhile. I'd comment here and there and vote in all of the "survivor" type threads, but I didn't say much. Then Jaz started the Project Runway thread, and I started coming here more and more. This place grew on me, and now I love it.

Dissention was around when I started posting, as was David. Brian/Liquidblue still posted here all the time, as this was pre 7 Wonders. It was a lot different from how it is now. There weren't as many polls, that's for sure ;) :laugh:
