The Different Eras of The Ledge

Musicman408 · #1 11-22-2009, 05:43 PM

Alright, we've discussed our favorite eras of the Mac and its members at various points, and it got me thinking! The Ledge has been around for what.... 10 years or something? In that stretch of time, the dynamic, and most prominent members have changed, come and gone and whatnot. So I was wondering, if we were to look at the Ledge's very eclectic history, how many era would we break it into, and how long did they run???? This will be interesting to see what people have to say... I haven't been here THAT terribly long, so I can't really say much, but to me it seems that within the past 6 months or so, we have gained a lot of new members, most of them fairly younger.

What all do you have to say about the Eras of The Ledge????

Much Love,
Ethan

Well young Ethan.....I would have to say The Ledge reached it's peak when I came into the picture. I guess you could consider me the "Stevie" of the forum. haha. So that means....The Ledge is having it's best era ever right at this moment.

It's all a hazy mess to me, to be honest. I don't think of it in terms of eras. Every now and then, someone will bring up a name I've long forgotten... but I've always been terrible with the names. To this day, I still don't recall, oh... 80% of your real names.?

Geez Brandon. Hopefully I make a strong enough impression you'll remember mine

I feel like everyone else knows everyones real names haha, I'm Chris.

Bekka? hahahhaha. Nope. Not the Bekka type at all.

But anywho. I love the era The Ledge is in right now. I don't know how it's been pre-June, back when I joined, but I like the diversity that we have. I was surprised to find so many younger fans, such as myself.

I have to admit....sometimes when Ledgies add me on Facebook, I don't exactly know or remember their Ledge names.

Both perhaps????

Anyone know when the Ledge first started???

I think 2009 is kind of a new era in The Ledge, with the influx of young hot mammas and such!!!

About 1997 I think. The present board about 2000.

I realise the main purpose of your statement is to flirt with the young girls here, but there's always been young people on The Ledge, Ethan, it's not a new thing. You, for instance, always reminded me of a Ledgie called Diamondsnake.

I think that's right. Maybe 1996. I remember Marty built a virtual Benifols on his (then new) Web site, Penguin, & told us all about it in IRC. A little while after that, I think he set up the Ledge, a single forum using the old Matt Wright script. Web boards were pretty new then, & I didn't think they were cool. All the cool cats, like Nepotista & Christopher Small, hung out on IRC, so I wouldn't even join the new Ledge. It took me another year or so.

Oh, I remember that kid! He bugged me at first (in the nicest possible way), but he got cooler. And then he left! Where did he go? Maybe he found other bands to love.
