Re-reading some really old posts got me remembering Gwaihir the Windlord, who I believe was the first one here to ever respond to one of my posts, and my fellow movie-foe TLW. Here's to you both, wherever you are.

Gosh, it's been centuries since I last visited the Downs... not that I ever did much when I was here. I'm in the middle of a marathon extended edition movie watch-a-thon at the moment and I just had to come back and see the place, post a few mutterings. I shall have to make some Mirth while I'm here, for old times sake.
And yes, I still hold a candle for Denethor. Carefully.

I didn't read this thread so I'm sure this is echoing someone else's feelings but I wish Kate (onewhitetree) would come back around. I'll bet she's even hotter and funnier now. Seems like I remember burra actually going to stay with her for a summer or something. Hot damn!

Maika! Welcome back...again!
The RPG forums have been too quiet lately...so many of you amazing writers left! And a number of newer good writers have been slowly disappearing as well... In fact even Child has rarely been around for a while, and now pio is exceedingly quiet as well... Anyway, it's nice to 'see' you again! |

Hey guys!
Just stopping by to say hi. Don't know if anyone remembers me though, I think my last post was 5 years ago. Is Sharku still around? And how's the mighty Barrow-Wight doing? What about Heren, Tigerlilly and Fea? And Lush?

Let's see... Fea and Lush are still quite active. HI pokes his head in here from time to time. The Chief Wight may be seen occasionally, but he never posts anymore.  And Sharkû? I don't remember seeing him in quite a while. Stick around, if you can!

So....yeah, posted in the Newcomers thread, but also decided to post here seeing as most of the older Downer's will remember me...
Yeah, anyways, so I'm sitting here, at our Bostonmoot and Mira is watching every word that I type and I decided that it would be a good idea for me to come on and at least say hi, I'm alive and probably will be making a comeback as an active downer....just not as much as I used to. Still, it'll be nice to talk to you all and play Werewofl with all of you again!! ~ Glirdy ~

Alas, poor yenic. I knew her, Nerwen . . . well actually I didn't. As a matter of fact, I'm the one what did her in. So, apologies to all for depriving the 'Downs of such a luminous presence. 'Fair as an Elf-child she was, but briefer, alas!'

...at least if you define "successful" as "allowed to remain on the forum undeleted" in this case.

It is.
Next time I mod a werewolf game I will do a serious campaign to get her to play...

It feels very wrong somehow that the Saucepan Man's post count is finally close to being overtaken even after an extremely lengthy absence.

I suppose Narnangol did not post that much before he disappeared, but I miss his steady but cheery way of posting. I wish he'll come back.

Well, it was obvious that a certain recent film release would bring me back among the dead. It's been a while, but it feels good to be back.

I suppose it had to happen and I wish it were not me but after an absence of three and a half years The Saucepan Man's post count has been equalled. I just wanted to say in this passing post that I miss his intelligence and humour and wish he would return to reclaim his place

There is either something rather weird or rather sad about how self-referential this thread has become in recent...years.
(Oh the cruelty of time.)I was reading through some *really* old threads (from the days before I joined) while waiting around at work today and it prompted me to notice that HerenIstarion hasn't posted since early this year. Also, my former REB cohort Diamond18 hasn't posted in a year almost to the day. And thinking of her put me in mind of another mighty colleague of REB fame, Rimbaud who has not posted since '08. *raises a toast to glorious companions of yore*

Alas for the departed
I was reading through some of the old werewolf games at work today and on an impulse clicked on the profile of Feanor of the Peredhil and saw that she hasn't posted since June 27, 2012. She will always have a special place in my heart for how her weird behavior let me achieve a remarkable come from behind win in the first Downs werewolf game.
And speaking of werewolf, the mighty Phantom himself hasn't posted since December of last year...of course, in these latter days that might not count as being gone long enough to qualify as an absence. And I must also mention Anguirel who hath not posted since August 2011.

Since it's her birthday today, I wonder - does anybody have a clue what's become of Ibrîniðilpathânezel? She was the first I thought of inviting back to the Downs after the Reanimation, since I still had her website (once home of wonderful Tolkien-inspired music) bookmarked, but alas! It's defunct, and checking her profile I found her last post here was back in 2011.

Nostalgia
Just scrolled through this thread and so many names of old I remember. I have stayed in touch with Lush after meeting her here, and followed her life and career through the years. I now subscribe to her newsletter where she has regular geolocation challenges.
One has to wonder how many of these souls are quite literally dead. I know on The One Ring and Tolkien Forums there are memorial threads for members who passed away. Last edited by Snowdog; 04-18-2021 at 08:27 PM. Reason: typo |

In other words, take away the forum and there would no longer be any central place. Sorry news, if there were any, would probably spread, but like a game of telephone across various platforms. (Which, to take things sideways, is kind of a beautiful story-germ, but not mercifully not the present situation.)

I am in occasional contact with Anguirel via Facebook . Not dead thankfully but does have a grown up life now. I imagine this is case for many of these who joined as teenagers

Wow! This is a pleasant surprise. The Fourth of July weekend is not a great time to look for login help, and I am not savvy enough to assist myself, but we have asked for assistance.
Good to hear from you again Maril...!

Good to see everybody who's still around here. I've been largely absent for a while, but recently I (finally) succeeded in convincing a friend to read LotR and The Silmarillion, and it's put me in more of a Tolkien mood than I've found myself in for a long time.
It's crazy to think that I've been on this forum for twenty years now . . . |
