How old were you when you started the Ledge? - Page 2

hayley · #16 07-13-2005, 08:37 AM

I was 14 years old, in pre-Dance 1997. I'll shortly be 23. I've spent almost a decade on this board. I've made lifelong friends here, I've burned the place down, I started a four year relationship with someone I met through this board, I've made enemies- but most of all, I've learned not to care. I wish people did not take this stuff so seriously. It'll cause nothing but trouble.

Very true. I know I care a lot less about the little riots on forums than I used to.

27, I believe. No clue what my first post was. probably "Hi, guys, I'm new here. Thought I'd introduce myself." I have such a way with words.

All the old grudges and spats and bitch fights- it's all so stupid. I mean, weren't we supposed to hate each other at one point from various stuff? I don't even remember the whos or whys or hows of any of that stuff. It just really doesn't matter.

I was 20 when I joined. I still remember the first time I heard about the Ledge - it was at the AHI in what was is Aug/Sept of that year - I came across a Lindsey-crazed girl and her mother outside of the America West Arena and they asked me if I was a "Ledgie" I had NO CLUE what they were talking about lol....

Then I met a Ledgie (no longer posts) from my hometown - crazy....It's been a loooong time rouwf!

I was 25 which was only a little over two years ago. I've only had a computer for 2.5 years so that might explain why I didn't descover the Ledger earlier.

To quote Mr. Dylan:

I was so much older then, I'm younger than that now

Actually, come to think of it...I met my wife here!

But, alas, since then she's been banned.

Ya know, A great spin-off thread would be "Do you remember what was your first ever post on the Ledge?"

Brian, your sig photo is hilarious.

With regards to the question at hand, no comment.

I've been reading the board for two-and-a-half years now, and intend to keep it up because the place is still a lot of fun. I think I was 22 when I first started my long lurker period (before starting to post), and I was directed to this place through the first FM board I ever read in cyberspace, the BN net board. Oh, the memories.

You really messed up, gal!

I've been through four computers since I first posted here. It's certainly been a pretty good run. I've seen people come & go, talking of Michelangelo. Others may have been a pair of ragged claws, scuttling across the floors of silent seas.

The Ledge is aptly named, because we're all standing on this ledge, peering over the precipice, into the abyss of god-knows-what-all. A few of us jump, most of us don't. But the lure of the unknown is still there, whispering in our ears . . . .

about the Ledge is that you can introduce yourself first unlike another website I am a member of...The members of that other website will rip your head/ass off if you post a "Hi...I'm new" thread, Absolutely a way to get hated immediately.

I started reading The Ledge when I was about 15, but I made a name when I was 16, and I'm now 17. Such a long time
