Ten years for the Penguin!

[wondergirl9847]

I started posting at a Lindsey site first (I had no idea about any FM sites) and when I didn't like that message board, I went looking for nicer sites. I found this place and liked it so much, I decided to make it my FM "home". Hehe. I love the personalized feel with the avatars, sigs and stuff. I've met friends for a lifetime on this site.

It's cozy here, I think I'll stick around for awhile.

Hey, Congrats on 10 years! I've only been here ~2 but it's a great place and everyone is always so friendly, and has a great sense of humor. Thanks for keeping the place running. As for how I found the place I can't really recall, think I posted on another board, and found out about this place by accident, quite happy I did.

BUT...I don't want to open any unhealed wounds (by this time, they SHOULD'VE healed, I would think)

LOL I seem to remember lurking and there being a few comments that LB was perhaps the least of the guitarists - but hey I may agree with that one - and he might as well at least it it concerns Peter Green - sooooo . . . .

CONGRATS on 10 years!

I have been here since Sept of 1997. I came lurking after seeing a FM show at the ( then) E Center.

Marty was so nice and he offered other tickets to another show, but I couldn't go.

I got to meet them ( the Adelson family minus their son) in 1998, that was cool! I can't believe that was 7 years ago! I was only 20! Brit was still a baby!

But these boards and this whole site is the best! I am so glad it never shut down.

ANd yes, a vast improvement on the old boards, but I do miss the old days of stories and stuff, we had a GOOD time!

If i'm correct, i was the first "Dutchman" entering the site. We were testing a few browsers, and somehow Altavista was the first who discovered the secret. That was 1997, i was astonished by all this information 'bout FM. Some many facts that i wasn't aware off.
And now the child is already 10. Happy anniversary and a lot of compliments.

Come on and try to beat the original FM site, this is for free.
Thank you Liz and Marty, great work.

PS, I added the wrong year, it was 1997 ( at the time the dance was released) and not 1993. (Could i beeeeee more stupid, i guess that's Chandler would have said, OMG i miss 'm)

..Haha..yep, I've been pretending I like Hawaii and really I'm a Kiwi
Nope, I can def say (and so can a couple of other Ledgies) that I'm not John, but it does make you wonder if he has a username and pops up every once in a while

Macmar71..I'm the same ..lurked for ages in 2000 and finally succumbed in 2002...I wonder how long the general "lurking" period is, before we emerge out of the shadows?

My lurking period was about 3 minutes, I think.

You don't say, oh Queen of posts!

Lis, I remember the Penguin from way back. Actually I recall that I loved all the info and, if I'm correct I witnessed the first attempts to start the Ledge. It had such a classic discussion-thread-look.
Are there archives that go that far back? I think I posted there a few times, and I'd like to see what Mac-nonsense I was into back then.

Oh my gosh that's right, Janet. You came to our tiny little Edison apartment, right? I think the only time I could really talk was after I put Britt in for a nap, she was tearing up the place as always LOL. I think I showed you some articles etc?? It's kind of a blur but I do remember you were very nice.

There probably are, but I have no clue how to get to them... Marty might be able to locate them one day...

I think it was sort of just one big forum, with just one post after another going down in a big list? I really wasn't on it much at all back then....
