Thankyou very much. Birmingham, and I will be doing Visual Communications but I am going straight into second year (because I have completed a HND) so will be concentrating on Photography and film. (:

And that is a big part of it. I wish I wanted somebody else, but I don't. Kinda scary wondering how many years I can keep going through this, though. My clock's a ticking! Everybody's is.

Thank you.

Is the film part entirely practical or is it part theory etc based too? I have a film phD so always interested to see what other courses people are doing!

I see this site is for sale. Hope this isn't the wrong thing to say, but according to The Penguin, the website hosting for this site costs $235 per month. I know a lot of people don't have extra money right now, but would some more people please consider becoming Supporting Ledgies? This is a wonderful site for Fleetwood Mac fans and I don't want it to end.

Of course, someone may buy it and not end it or change it. Still, there's always those possibilities.

I just noticed this today too and funny that no one's talking about the elephant in the room. I mainly have two questions, if this site were to sell it could go either way and be a good or bad thing, depending on whoever gets their hands on it running it. As we know from past antics on other boards over the years. And two, if it doesn't sell, is this site going defunct? I've a feeling if so, Seven Wonders will most likely have an influx of people

I've yet to ever say this, and I do seem to have a few friends over here who actually care to chat up and be social with you, but the real reason I've never felt compelled to become a supporting member here is because below the surface, I've never felt welcome here by most. What with little cliques and personal favorites contests always and People's Choice Awards based on popularity, I think it keeps most from contributing. But I do like some of you here and always felt I could post and share anyway if I had something to say. I just hope if the site does sell, it goes in the right hands and someone who knows how to run it.

Yeah, we have roughly 3,300 members... if less than 1/10th of them were supporting members, this site would pay for itself. I believe we have about a dozen supporting members at this moment. It costs $12 per year to be a supporting member- $1 per month. And payment is done through paypal, so your credit card/banking info is 100% secure (all the owner of the board sees is a payment from Paypal).

So if anyone who is reading this thinks they can contribute $1/per month, please do. I think Michele has been an amazing steward to this site the past several years, and she is an invaluable asset to the Fleetwood Mac community. It'd be great if she could continue as custodian.

Unless things are more clarified, the way I read it they're looking to get out from under it regardless of paid memberships.

That's not the case, I can assure you . The Ledge is Michele's passion, but she is unable to underwrite the website on her own anymore.

Seems like if anything, someone could've made things more known if the site was in such dire straits, be like "Hey people's, we really need to come together and save this site!" or something along those lines. What's the harm in asking for that? I don't know much about how sites function behind the scenes, but from what I can tell, sites like City Data incorporate ads into their site that I'm assuming help cover operating costs and are on pages viewed but are not intrusive or invading in such a way. Could they try something like that here along with more paid memberships? City Data I see, is also awarding someone 5,000 for the Most Informative Poster right now so I think sites such as theirs are doing just fine. I would really hate to see The Ledge go to be honest despite the little things I sometimes feel about it.

I think every member just has to do what's right for them. No one is going to like everyone. That's just human nature. Not matter what, this is a great site for Fleetwood Mac. That's why I'm a Supporting Ledgie.
