I think Facebook and the like took a decent portion of Ledge comments/members away from the Ledge.

I belong to a couple of FM Facebook groups...and most of the members of those, were at one time, Ledge members. Actually, most of them still are! But they just no longer come here. And I think that's for a variety of reasons.

Years ago, when the Ledge(IMO-and I mean this in a social sense) was at it's height(like 2003-05), a fairly large group of us bonded. And then there was an incident or two here that come to mind, where many were banned from the site(even if only for less than a day, as it would play out - by a power hungry mod! lol), BUT someone went off and started a private forum, and we formed our own private groups. Several groups actually, most of which eventually imploded, as far as I know. But most never returned here afterwards.

But I have about 10 FM friends(in real life) that I met here on the Ledge, and we stay in contact, and visit each other a few times a year for FM parties. I love the Ledge!
