So who's still around? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

*Varda* · 12-15-2007, 08:04 PM

I guess I fall back into the 'back after a long absence' category.

Long absence being about 3 years!

But I was feeling nostalgic and was compelled to visit.

MatthewM · 12-15-2007, 10:36 PM

Why so glum? Stick around!

Estelyn Telcontar · 12-16-2007, 08:46 AM

Well, I'm still around for one! And I'm still actively moderating, so I'll move this thread to the Barrow-Downs forum, where it will join others that concern our membership rather than discussions of Tolkien's works.

Welcome back, Varda!

Gothbogg the Ripper · 12-18-2007, 03:37 PM

Oh yes. I'm still here too. After being abandoned for years and years and years. I love this site and I get kicked off! If it makes you feel any better just know that during my sabatical I was always watching you lot and smiling

I love this place. And now we have a Hobbit movie it's time to convert an old friend back to the 'Downs!

***Thenamir*** · 12-18-2007, 04:27 PM

Good old Thenamir (emphasis on the word old) is still around.

findorfin · 12-18-2007, 04:43 PM

This is the first time I've been back properly in years. Originally theRealFindorfin, now Findorfin I doubt anyone actually remembers my name or posts, lol!!

Lush · 12-23-2007, 06:26 AM

Well hey there, V.

Gosh, the 6th year anniversary of me joining the site is coming up, and I do pop in here every so often. Mostly to read.

Hope you're doing well.

***Mithadan*** · 12-23-2007, 10:17 AM

Still here. A bit treeish but still awake.

Hilde Bracegirdle · 12-23-2007, 03:46 PM

Still around, though not as often as I would like to be.

Maikadilwen · 12-27-2007, 12:50 PM

Every so often. A little stiff and worn now that age is starting to press down on me but still reading. And looking for that perfect rpg to be in....

ninja91 · 12-29-2007, 03:56 PM

I dont want to start a thread, but as my sig says I will not be around much for a while, and hopefully it is soon when I get to post properly on this thread. Just thought I would say my temporary goodbye before bolting without a word!

Nimrodel_9 · 12-29-2007, 04:28 PM

Wow, some of you have been here forever. That's awesome.

I joined in... 2003, I believe. I had a different name and for some reason it stopped letting me post. I don't post much any more, but I am here.

Child of the 7th Age · 01-01-2008, 01:36 AM

Good to see you drop in. Your contributions to rpgs are missed. Remember Corsairs and Corsets?

Durelin · 02-12-2008, 05:59 PM

Varda! And the real findorfin! Hi!! *waves*

02-21-2008, 12:35 PM

I'm from the chat...I'm still here...lol

Snowdog · 02-21-2008, 08:14 PM

I still come by every now and then and launch a mortar barrage of posts and disappear again.

littlemanpoet · 02-22-2008, 10:17 AM

I'm still around and basically never gone. Anymore (1 year hiatus in 2003).

Annunfuiniel · 04-03-2008, 02:35 AM

Oh, it feels so right to be back.

It's been a while... But hey, 5 years seem to fade away when you come back and find same old faces once again.

Seems I have to do some reading first before I can even start dreaming of posting myself - but I'll be around. Hope there'll be time for an RPG, too
(though I can only hope Child has forgiven I deserted her without explanations during our co-owned Shire game...

).

Lush · 04-05-2008, 08:17 AM

I poke my nose in from time to time. You do get to missing the old place.
