Barrow-Downs Birthday Party - Discussion Thread - Page 2 - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Trippo The Hippo · 04-30-2003, 07:38 PM

Well horse refers to his species, and pony refers to his development. I think he can be a pony and a horse, pony is just his size but deep down hes all horse.

GaladrieloftheOlden · 04-30-2003, 07:45 PM

No, pony is different than horse, I think,as I am no expert. Could one of the Rohirrim come in and explain more correctly? [img]smilies/cool.gif[/img]

~Menelien

Cuthalion · 04-30-2003, 08:17 PM

Well, I'm no Rohirrim, but I owned 4 horses and used to show them...horses and ponies are classified according to height. A horse starts at 14.3 hands...(a hand being 4"), ponies are anything under..

Trippo The Hippo · 04-30-2003, 08:22 PM

But a pony is still a horse just a short one right?

Alkanoonion · 04-30-2003, 09:37 PM

HAPPY 3rd BIRTHDAY TO THE BARROW-DOWNS!

It is now May 1, 2003,

PARTY time

Alkanoonion is here and I have Lots of Ale cake to share, an interesting concoction that my sister made.

I will post my spectacular entry when the game topic is started.

Eressië Ailin · 05-01-2003, 03:36 AM

I nearly forgot about ALECAKE!!!! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] I'm glad that some one will be serving it. Anything else missing? No? Good! LET'S PAR-TAY!!!

Could some one please make a list of people on the girls' night out thingy? Thank you!

and away we go....!

Cuthalion · 05-01-2003, 10:57 AM

Uh...any mod...what's happening to the party posts??

Sophia the Thunder Mistress · 05-01-2003, 10:57 AM

[img]smilies/frown.gif[/img] yes, it's really rather distressing...

Schmendrick · 05-01-2003, 10:58 AM

My thoughts exactly!!!What's happening? [img]smilies/eek.gif[/img]

Trippo The Hippo · 05-01-2003, 10:59 AM

Hey does anyone know what happened to the party my post dissapeared and page 2 does appear to be functioning?

Trippo The Hippo · 05-01-2003, 11:00 AM

I'm glad im not the only one but this is such a sad thing to happen to our party. I think its sabotage lol

Galadriel9 · 05-01-2003, 11:04 AM

ooo good, I thought it was just an evil plot by my computer trying to confuse me, where have all the posts gone???????? [img]smilies/eek.gif[/img]

***Mithadan*** · 05-01-2003, 11:06 AM

OK, people, exercise your language skills and clearly describe the problem. I've gone through the thread and see a straight succession of posts through 12:59pm. I don't see any problem.

Annunfuiniel · 05-01-2003, 11:07 AM

What? Is there something wrong? I see both pages and my resent post is there too... So is everything back to normal? I hope so...

Just to make things clear: Bruce is going to be just fine! I didn't kill him, he will just suffer from, well, quite vicious stomach ache for 24 hours. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] I'm not a bad person, really!
Oh, and thanks again, Sophia, for your assistance! [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Maikadilwen · 05-01-2003, 11:09 AM

Is it the REG again? [img]smilies/mad.gif[/img]

Take a look at Ainaserkewen's post at the end of the first page. It has been cut to one line and ends with "reporZ".
After that everything went wrong.

[ May 01, 2003: Message edited by: Maikadilwen ]

Sophia the Thunder Mistress · 05-01-2003, 11:09 AM

Mith, the way I'm seeing it all the posts from where Trippo the Hippo says that Fin's cologne is choking him, through Galadriel9's first one are no longer on the thread...

Annun- what did you get me into? [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] Oh, and by the way, you can borrow my brown powder anytime [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Trippo The Hippo · 05-01-2003, 11:10 AM

I think its back. That was horrific.

Cuthalion · 05-01-2003, 11:12 AM

Mithadan...several posts from Trippo, Maika and the phantom to name a few are missing from page 2. I am not the only one to notice this. I am assuming there is a technical glitch?

Niluial · 05-01-2003, 11:12 AM

Whats happend to the party? I hope I am not in the wrong room... hmmm

***Mithadan*** · 05-01-2003, 11:13 AM

Trippo's post was at 12:45 and Galadriel9's was at 12:52. Were there posts between?

Sophia the Thunder Mistress · 05-01-2003, 11:14 AM

hm, yes, I had one between them, also Maika... and Ainaserkewen?

Maikadilwen · 05-01-2003, 11:15 AM

Something between 5 and 10 posts have been lost as far as I remember...

The REG is back! Save us all! [img]smilies/eek.gif[/img]

[ May 01, 2003: Message edited by: Maikadilwen ]

Schmendrick · 05-01-2003, 11:15 AM

There were several posts between! I know that my post used to be the first one on the page 2!!! [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img]

[ May 01, 2003: Message edited by: Schmendrick ]

***Mithadan*** · 05-01-2003, 11:19 AM

Investigating. There are only about 5 people who can manually delete posts in this forum and I'm the only one on right now, so I assume its a technical glitch. Maybe because I've never seen so many people trying to post on one thread at the same time. Feel free to repost.

Maikadilwen · 05-01-2003, 11:21 AM

But how come it deletes posts already showing?
I could understand if too many people were posting at the same time and some of the new posts simply didn't go through, but those already posted? I don't get it...

[ May 01, 2003: Message edited by: Maikadilwen ]

***Mithadan*** · 05-01-2003, 11:22 AM

No idea.

***Mithadan*** · 05-01-2003, 11:30 AM

The post about the white dragon is missing I see. If anyone has a post which they need placed earlier in the thread, please PM the text to me and I will add it in where you specify.

Did anyone edit or delete a post falling in the time period at issue?

Maikadilwen · 05-01-2003, 11:30 AM

Ok, guys. I re-posted. I suggest you do the same and hope this won't happen again. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Let's leave poor Mith alone for some time. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

the phantom · 05-01-2003, 11:37 AM

I posted and then deleted twice, Mithadan, but only after I noticed that several other posts were gone (which caused mine to make no sense).

Sophia the Thunder Mistress · 05-01-2003, 11:38 AM

Yes, I edited the missing post too, but it wsa a while before they started vanishing.

Diamond18 · 05-01-2003, 11:39 AM

65 posts? Egad, you people. I'm never, ever going to catch up. Diamond will be crawling in, in a state of exhaustion, sometimes within the next millennium.

Hirilaelin · 05-01-2003, 12:22 PM

Yay, party time! I'm in, definately. And I will also be serving alecake! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Nuranar · 05-01-2003, 12:58 PM

My first post disappeared as well, so I re-wrote it from memory (because naturally I hadn't saved it [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img] ) and re-posted. The thread is still doing funny things, though: It shows three page links on the Gondor page, but page 3 is just white when the link is followed. And when you're on page 2 there is no page 3 link.

It's just an annoyance at this point, but I hope the One-Eyed One-Horned Flying Purple Post Eater isn't still lurking out there...

Sophia the Thunder Mistress · 05-01-2003, 01:05 PM

lol... Sure looks strange to me [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Diamond18 · 05-01-2003, 01:12 PM

I don't see any problems... my whopping long (utterly boring) post is up without a glitch. We'll see if it stays put.

Sophia the Thunder Mistress · 05-01-2003, 01:14 PM

lol... Whoppingly boring indeed! I've been on here for hours, and the only time I laughed harder was when Annunfuiniel poisoned her date [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Annunfuiniel · 05-01-2003, 01:15 PM

Considering what strange things are going on I seriously suggest you save your posts (in Word form or whatever) when you write them. Saves you a lot of time in case your post happens to disappear...
[img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
~Annun
Btw. I changed my avatar (again) to a non-animated one. Just letting you know so that you recognise it's still me! [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Diamond18 · 05-01-2003, 01:23 PM

Thanks, Sophia. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] And ROFL, Annun. Poor Bruce! [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Lush · 05-01-2003, 01:58 PM

Oof, I made it...My room is a wreck, I've just had my last final, and I have the daunting task of getting rid of all my...stuff, before my parents come up tomorrow, but I made it, gosh-darn-it, and Mith will not be offended (or maybe he will...but later).

LOL @ Diamond. As always. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
