Exactly Jannie. Moz - people are simply letting friends know that they're leaving & why they're doing so. In the past, people have left without saying a word & others wondered what happened & worried about them in some cases.

I understand why they're leaving - I hardly post anymore, partly due to the fact that I worry I'll be banned. Things I used to feel comfortable saying, whether in jest or seriously, are no longer allowed. Over the past year, things have gotten to the point that any opinion posted directed at another member is construed as a personal attack, and several people disagreeing with someone are accused of being a clique who's purposely ganging up on that person. We can't have any discussions here anymore, lest they become the slightest bit heated, since the thread will surely be closed or deleted, or the "offenders" will be banned, or suspended, or whatever. The selective enforcement of the rules, and the varied punishment given for breaking them, makes people even more nervous. Some would just rather not bother.

I'll probably stick around, but I must say it's boring as hell around here these days.

I'm signed on, for the first time in 13 months.
For years, the Ledge was the BEST place on the net. Seriously. I absolutely LOVED this place. It was my home.

But, I was temporarily banned, along with a bunch of others, on 3/26/2007, for putting a picture of a horse's back side, in my signature. I chose to not return, and haven't, until now, just to say goodbye.
So, many Ledgies became friends. Really close friends. Friends bigger than the Ledge. More important than the Ledge.

I think the modding has gotten so out of control. Only certain people get the rules applied to them. Others slide through, with NO repercussions. The carte blanche, given to certain people, has ruined the Ledge, in my opinion. And it seems the modding is mainly directed at this fairly large group of friends, making sure it keeps them under control.
You know, a few days ago, I was reunited with Gerald, on the new board that just started. God, I didn't realize how much I missed so many of you people. More than words can say. And while I'm sure not everyone will join the new board, I sure hope a select group of you do.
I honestly do, wish all of you, the best, throughout your lives. Best of luck, and goodbye,
David

It's a secret.

It's not really a secret, but I have a feeling that Ledge rules proscribe linking to it. Did someone PM you?

I'm so confused.

Why are people leaving and where were all these "fights" taking place? Never mind. I think I spend far too long exclusively in the Lindsey section- and that's when I have time to come on here. I really love this board a lot because it's great to talk about Fleetwood Mac. I hate to see that sort of break up. Especially when great posters are leaving...so sad.
