If everyone stays, nothing ever really changes. If everyone decides to jump ship, that's where we'll have drastic changes.
So I'll ask all Ledgies to make a pact, that no matter what ownership we have, we will continue to congregate and discuss our love for The Mac, and whatever else we feel like. That, that large mass of people, is what will keep a community alive, not one individual. So don't let a new potential owner/s keep you away from a tradition that you have held dear for years..... Please.  |
Yeah, don't worry. You aren't particularly in a position to give me an ultimatum, so I didn't take it that way at all.
I see what you're saying, and that's fine for some people. But like I said, for me, the Ledge isn't about 4,000+ people and their random discussions. It's always nice to be a part of a community, but really, there are other communities out there for any variety of topics - or just general talk. This place for me stopped being about making friendships and desire for likeminded people a long time ago, and now - although I do enjoy some back and forth here on the chit-chat board - it's really about finding out the latest news on the group. (Well, Lindsey.)
So yeah, I mean, I hope for whoever else's sake that everything works out the way you want it to and you have a board to hang out on and all that. I just don't want to watch this place go downhill any more than it - dare I say - already has. There are reasons that a lot of people don't go to the other FM communities, and one of those is "the people". The same arguments, the same clique-form, clique-rule, clique-explosion sequence, and tbh, the same board politics & subsequent ass-kissing that other communities appear to suffer.. it's just tired.
just my .02. you don't have to take it.
