I've always basically been a lurker so I'm very forgettable as far as Ledgie's go, but it did use to be pretty fun reading the posts around here. The perv thread?

How about Wuthering Heights for the first book club reading? One, it's one of my favourite books (selfish of me to choose it here, I know) and two...I've just seen that episode of Friends where Pheobe has to read it..haha!

I love The Brontes, Elizabeth Gaskell, Dumas...etc..

Well, I hope this won't come out the wrong way, but when I first signed up to The Ledge - in the summer of 2005 - I ended up feeling pretty quickly that this place was nasty - that there were a lot of mean people who lived for no other purpose than to make snide comments, etc. - a lot of trolls. And that things were very "clique-like." I went on over to Seven Wonders at that point - and by the way - - - don't 100% believe it when people tell you that the only reason Seven Wonders was created was "because The Ledge was down" - - - I wasn't the only one who felt this way - not by a long shot. But I understood that the board was just going through "a phase" and that the trolls would lose interest after awhile; and in my opinion that's what's happened - and I really do feel that in general things have gotten MUCH nicer here in the past few years!

7W can be just as vicious. I notice a lot of old time members here on The Ledge like to take their frustrations out on newbies.

I don't know about that. I think for the most part we are very welcoming of newbies. We all seem to help them get their right foot forward in the world that is Fleetwood Mac fandom!

Dude, you couldn't be more wrong. I was probably among the first 10 to sign up to 7W, it was completely created because The Ledge went down for a few weeks in October 2005. I remember all the emails going back and forth about it. If you went over to 7W in 2005, just a couple of months after you joined here, it would have been when the board was just created and you should remember all the first threads were about what had happened to The Ledge, people discussing when it would come back and continuations of threads started here. Plus all the first members were Ledgies: check out my "Who's Missing?" thread, one of the very first over there, basically a roll call of Ledgies. The reason it stayed around though is because it filled a niche, one that probably the Buckingham Nicks board and Burnish filled before.

I know a lot of people who told me through p.m., "Thank GOD another Fleetwood Mac board has been created; because things were starting to get SO nasty on The Ledge!" Like I said though, that was back then - years ago. But yes, in the opinion of some, it really had gotten THAT mean. Not like Seven Wonders hasn't had some bumps, also.
