Serious suggestion for the languages forum - Page 2 - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Did you, by any chance, remember what member that was? Because then you could PM them to ask or something... [img]smilies/confused.gif[/img]

GaladrieloftheOlden · 04-12-2003, 08:43 PM

Isn't this the Languages Forum? [img]smilies/eek.gif[/img]

elven maiden Earwen · 04-12-2003, 08:46 PM

where did you find it??? [img]smilies/eek.gif[/img] [img]smilies/eek.gif[/img] [img]smilies/eek.gif[/img]

GaladrieloftheOlden · 04-12-2003, 08:51 PM

I was on Who's Online an one of the guests was looking at it, so I clicked on the link and there it was! [img]smilies/eek.gif[/img] [img]smilies/eek.gif[/img] [img]smilies/eek.gif[/img]
Does anyone know if it was supposed to still be there? [img]smilies/confused.gif[/img] [img]smilies/confused.gif[/img] [img]smilies/confused.gif[/img] [img]smilies/eek.gif[/img] [img]smilies/eek.gif[/img]

'Tis the lost spirit of the Languages Forum. They say that those who post there forever become entagled in its tricksy threads and winding passages of Tengwar and Quenya ... [img]smilies/eek.gif[/img] [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

That's exactly how I came across it, GaladrieloftheOlden, but I'll be darned if I can find a link to it from the forum home. Not that I ever posted there - I just like a good mystery. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Galadrie1 · 04-13-2003, 10:14 AM

I'm guessing people bookmarked the URL for the forum, and that's how they're getting to it.... It's really creepy going there again. [img]smilies/eek.gif[/img]

GaladrieloftheOlden · 04-13-2003, 10:16 AM

Yeah. I just thought it had actually been deleted... [img]smilies/eek.gif[/img]

Hehehe, lol. Do any of you moderators, operators, etc know why it's there? Cause all the rest of us can only guess... [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]

VanimaEdhel · 04-13-2003, 05:53 PM

And will we get sucked into a world of Elvish, never to return, if we go to the Forum? That's my question...

**lindil** · 04-13-2003, 08:24 PM

As a moderator, I can guarantee that most of us Mod's are as ingonrant of the innerworkings of the barrows outside of their own as anyone else. THe secret lang forum is as big os a mystery to me as anyone else, though I think I recall one of the admins [Mithadan or Sharku hinting that it still existed and was accesible].

All is at the behest of the Admins and the chief Wight. But if we keep a low profile, I bet the secret language forum will be left alone to use in a quiet way [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] .

Wow, a mystery forum on the downs! How creepy! Makes it feel even more like the Barrowdowns! [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Beren87 · 04-13-2003, 09:01 PM

And here is another one!

Carlas · 04-15-2003, 02:23 PM

OHHHH, AHHHH, what is that???

GaladrieloftheOlden · 04-15-2003, 02:33 PM

Wow, that's cool. What is it? [img]smilies/eek.gif[/img] [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Aylwen Dreamsong · 04-15-2003, 02:46 PM

The old Rpg forum. Crazy place, that was [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]. Look! It's all our threads for the Audience w/ the King Game! Wow. Where'd you find that, Beren?

Beren87 · 04-15-2003, 03:40 PM

I had it bookmarked when it existed, seems the bookmark still worked.

VanimaEdhel · 04-16-2003, 05:14 PM

Oh my goodness! I miss that so much! Now I have both bookmarked. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Sophia the Thunder Mistress · 04-16-2003, 06:50 PM

Oh my! I remember the language forum (from my haunting but not participating days...) but I don't remember venturing into the Freestyle room... *shivers* this place is haunted!
