The loss of knowledge - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Alkanoonion · 10-03-2002, 05:05 AM

I have a real concern that the site is in danger of losing its older more knowledgeable members. It is the older members who bring maturity and knowledge to Barrow Downs forum and that mix is what helps make the barrow downs such a great site for learning about Tolkien’s world.

What I wanted to ask is it possible of one topic to be available for people to post ideas/suggestions or even grievances so that if a problem is identified it can be resolved. Many older members are leaving but they are not communicating the reasons why they are ghosting out. Instead of leaving why not let the moderator know the reason. Maybe the problems can be resolved with out the loss of all that knowledge.
