10 years????

Thud.

That's amazing, guys. Thanks so much for all the time you've put into keeping this community connected. It makes such a difference.

Thanks for everyone's wonderful words. I'm so glad so many people enjoy this place. I guess I kind of feel like the Penguin is the 'official' site too...it's just been around forever...but I think maybe there are perks to not actually being 'official'.

trackaghost asked how many years the Ledge has been around..yikes, I don't even know, maybe 9? Marty is on a business trip rigth now so i can't even ask him. I know it took us a little while to get a message board up... but I think it was up when 'Time' came out...and I remember some of you from way back then, too, wow.....'isn't that weird?'


I'll admit for several years i was just too busy w/ my kids to be involved in it--I never read the Ledge etc... pretty much had to put FM on the backburner. I used to get so pissed at Marty for all the time he spent on the site LOL. But in the last few years it's sort of switched to where he's too busy for it, and now I'm the one that is into it. It's really been a blast.

Strange that when we first made the site, it was more of an homage to a band that we thought was sort of fading away... then when the Dance happened it was like a freaking miracle LOL. This band has accomplished so much, so many members, over so many years....it amazes me.

anyway enough rambling. Everyone's support is so much appreciated!

Thanks to you Lis and Marty for keeping this site going the past ten years. I appreciate your hard work and dedication to making this the premier Fleetwood Mac website that it is. Thanks too, to all the Fleetwood Mac fans for sharing their stories, personal experiences, and photos. And to Fleetwood Mac for giving us the reason.

Happy 10th Penguin!

Well done on the first 10 years...

It won't be long, just three short years from now, when The Ledge becomes a teenager and we get the odd tantrum, mood swing and wobbler... Hang on, that happens on a daily basis anyway doesn't it?

I look forward to the next 10 years of debates and chat and hopefully through to the release of Lindsey's next solo album hopefully before the 20th anniversary....

Hey, MFM, who said the quote in your sig? Great one, BTW.

Oh no, not THE TEEN YEARS!! EGADS!! Voices changing, hormones raging, mood swings, hating the 'rents...nope, I'll be away from the Ledge during those years.

Oh, you think that's bad? You should've been around for the "terrible twos". This is "peace, love & understanding" by comparison.

Happy 10th Anniversary Penguin ... and thank you Marty and Lis, for having fed my obsession since March 1998.

For me, half the fun of concert-going has been meeting Ledgies from all over the place.

Thanks! My obsession is well-fed.

Let's party!!! Congrats and Happy anniversary to The Penguin! Here's to many, many more years.

Long live the Mac...and Penguin.
