In 1998 we worked long and hard putting a very comprehensive proposal together to make The Penguin the official site, including hundreds of questionnaires showing how much money fans spent on Fleetwood Mac concerts, albums, etc. as a result of The Penguin. We couldn't get to first base with Mick's management who told us they were working with another website designer. Five years later . . .they still don't have it together! Mick will never put together a site as comprehensive as this one.
In hindsight, it's my personal opinion that we're probably better off because Marty might have had to give up control of many great features of The Penguin that we can enjoy as a fan based site.
I suspect that Mick would want us to sell stuff - like they do on the NicksFix. I'd hate to see The Penguin become that commercialized.
Marty continues to refine, improve, add to and create The Penguin keeping it current and relevant, and, in my opinion The Ledge is one of the best message boards around!
