I predict that Hookbill will suddenly and inexplicably make a jump in the member ratings...oh look, there ya go.
Also, someday the Werewolf games will be outsourced to another site, leaving signatures, avatars and discussion solely to Tolkien-related topics.

Of course, I need to make a Crazy Captions related prediction now: I predict that slowly, because almost every possible picture from the three films (and some from the animated ones) will be posted, photo shop edited pictures will creep in and take over. The possibilities are endless!

Prediction:
The following will have Personal Titles by the time the next wave has passed:
Formendacil Anguirel Gurthang alatar There're probably more, but these one's I'm pretty sure of. So I'll be the first to say 'Congratulations,' then.

Well, we can't let this thread of predictions die out now can we!!
I predict that Werewolf will make it's come back in a few weeks time!! I also predict that tp's ego will deflate in the year 2010.

I predict that the reasent development in "What do you assign to the shire" will result in a thread called. "What Drinks Do You Think Hobbits Like"
(Should I make that thread?)

I predict there will be a sequel (or prequel
 ) to Assigned to Mordor, named "Assigned to the Shire". Also, The Downer will be voted Newspaper of the year for a second year running after it's brilliant story on the shooting of its editor in chief. *Is shot*

Uh oh Hooky, we have some trouble brewing.
I also predict Rune attempting to start another newspaper company. He eventually gets bought out and ends up working for the Downer as a Sports journalist instead. (Hint hint Hook )

I predict that The Lord of the Bible thread will eventually cause all out war between those who agree with Davem and those who do not.
The Downer will stay at the top forever!

Oi, do I miss this thread too...so,
Quote:
I implanted a virus in the system to where anytime I get a rep it adds on an extra digit. So, if somebody's rep was normally 6 points it would equal 60, 78 points = 780...and so on. Kind of like what they do in Office Space. But please, don't tell anyone, I'll let you in too. I predict one day everyone will cease to use smilies as we will figure out some day how to feel and measure 'tones' over the net, making smilies useless and go out of business.

I predict that most of the conversation between Barrowdowners will be located on LiveJournals and this delightful forum will be relegated to merely reference.
Oh, that does sound sullen...

I predict that the Barrow Downs Forum will one day have its own Wikipedia entry including subsections on running jokes, Crazy captions and such things.

the phantom will take over the Downer, changing it to "The Phantom Times", and the Phantom and Alien will become "Phantom and His Ego".

Predictions: Very soon, The Barrow Downs will have a fundraising event to raise money to make our own film version of The Lord of the Rings and any other Tolkien books we happen to like.

I predict that in a few years, no-one will remember who Alien is.
"Oh right, the Alien...we were supposed to do the Wave for him or something, weren't we?" Or Boromir the Disco King. "Hey yeah, I remember that! He was always sparring off with his nemesis, the Phantom. Boy that Saucepan Man...the idea for that NEWspaper was a move of pure genius." Or Elrond's Guestbook. "Yeah, that's where the Alien and Boromir the Disco King got their starts. Remember? No? It was about the time that Mormegil started posting, he was banned shortly after. Remember that?" Or Inktomi Slurp Spiders. "I sure was glad when the spammers finally stopped popping up. Like Mormegil, remember him?" Or this thread. Wait, no, scratch that one. It will live long in our memories, especially after it goes down in flaming off-topic glory.

Oddwen, that was brilliant.
I really don't know much at all about Elrond's Guestbook, as I wasn't here for that, just rumors about it. I first started posting on the Barrow-Downs during the initial Boromir the Disco King craze, which was pretty funny. Sadly, it's gone now. Poor Boromir... And just as sadly, Mount Zoom is going the way of Boromir these days. How quickly we forget things...

They're brilliant they are.And as for that spammer Mormegil I hope he is bannished in short order...nobody should be able to simply capitalize my name to begin spamming and get away with it. I predict that when CC does finally go down, Hookbill's sanity will go to and the thread will simply be a depository for any witticism Hookbill has left though sadly he will do more muttering than humor. "Captions, crazy I say, Captions, crazy captions, I was once a king you know." It will go like this for some time. Quote:

Actually, come to think of it, there is a way to make your own Wiki, apparently. Perhaps it's something for the mods to consider. Just another one of the predictions coming true, eh?

I predict that some arguments... sorry, discussions... on the Downs will go so far that a small party will set out and break into the house of Christopher Tolkien and steal all of his father's notes and spend the next few years sifting through them looking for answers to the questions of Life, Arda and everything!

i predict that after H-I has launched every poll imaginable, he would astound us by making the following poll:
What poll do you think is the best thought of? thus bringing into a whole another spectrum of polls

An obvious one...
Children of Hurin Chapter by Chapter discussions? That might be interesting, but would it be very much different to the chapter discussion in Silm?
