still new to this whole reading thing, but i think you figured it out.

i'm with marissa on the no need for new forums. that's kind of like opening up the floodgates, and the last thing this place needs is more people.

Pictures of Stevie and demos/live shows get totally lost in the Stevie forum after a couple of days...so, yeah, 'organizing' them into their own forum might make it easier to find stuff without searching through countless other topics.

there really isn't all that much stevie discussion ... that thread for stevie demos has been going for quite a while, i don't think it's hard to find at all. as for discussions about other artists, i just don't think we have enough of that going on to warrant starting a new forum dedicated to that. things work just fine around here

It would depend on the system. I think having The Ledge as a community makes people more inclined to share things.

Yup. I don't know where else there is to go to get all the news.

And I enjoy the discussions in the LB forum (where I spend most my time on this board). Maybe I've not been here long enough for them to get old and stale since I've been here a year and a half-ish. I love having chats and debates about my favourite artists.

not even so much new people as people discussing the same **** over and over again on multiple forums (cause that already happens here as it is) and carrying their angst/hate/ambivalence about life and one another in even more places.

i can see it now ... after listening to this bootleg from 1986 that teddansoninahat traded, stevie reminds me of blondie! that brings up a great topic -- if you were to cast the fleetwood mac movie, who would play each bandmember?!?! -_-

plus, this place has been difficult to moderate as it is. there doesn't need to be more locations to create more fangirl/fanboy drama.

again, jmo.

I just learned how to use the 'enhanced posting' option, so don't feel bad

yeah, unfortunately, it hasn't really deterred the influx.

the ledge has had a good thing going for a long, long time. i don't feel bad - just as i'm sure some others don't - about being disappointed in some of the trash that is unavoidable when you get a huge group of people in one place.

not to mention, the search option works very well. i've utilized it a few times when searching for things.

I realize this. When you all ask which one would you choose...the Penguin or the Ledge then it does become a "choose one or the other" situation, doesn't it?

Hypothetical or not. Of course I realize this is all hypothetical.

I thought it would be ok for me to add a comment to the pile too.

That is true, the search function is really, really nice.

You all, I would just hate to see this place end, really I would, and I am sure that something good will come out of all of this.

I agree, though like many others here I also fall in the category of "if I had the money & technical skills..." I have been doing the data entry to the discography database as well as many other great volunteers here and I hope to continue working on that under whoever the new owner(s) may be.

My only fear is if it is bought by the band or let's just say, an official body, as they most likely would ditch the archival material and just use it to promote the latest release which I think would be a waste but that's business I guess.

I recall when there were bandwidth issues (and no doubt this will be an issue under new ownership again since even Marty & Lis couldn't afford the dedicated server, hence the supporting ledgies) it was mainly the Chit Chat board that ate up most of it and Marty did tell me (which I was surprised about though I must admit I don't know all the tech stuff) that the discog only takes up a fraction of the space. I thought it'd be the other way around with new pages being added all the time (or I should say hopefully will be added if it does continue & I'm allowed to continue working on it under new leadership and I can finish building up the existing entries, there's been tech issues Marty's looking at over the last month so that's why no updates to it since then) so hopefully if nothing else if no one buys the whole thing that maybe the parts that take the most room could be shaved off to cut down costs as well? Just a thought for the new buyers I guess.

I don't know what the "deadline" on this is but here's hoping something gets worked out soon in some way.
