Ohhh, yes, the Monkey Club. I never understood that, and I'm kind of glad I didn't join it when offered... for the sake of my rep... [img]smilies/confused.gif[/img] But Gimli is still missed.

Your rep is quite dirty anyway, Ithaeliel, do not kid yourself, o scarlet woman of the Downs. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]
I wish Maril would post more often myself.

Gimli was rude to a few too many people, and made one or two rather insensitive comments. He just said something wrong one time too many. Its a shame really- he was the only downer at the time that I knew of who was even remotely close to my own age, that I knew of.

I don't know if anybody's mentioned Eruantalon, but I miss him. Rie will never forget Erulon singing to her at the Green Dragon.

I miss me [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] I almost always run out of time from looking at all the Tolkien sites that I only have time nowadays to read the topics here and I don’t get the chance to post like I once did. I blame the increased top quality Tolkien sites that are now available.

A lot has happened since my last post!
My job as a laboratory technician fell away with the Japanese consumption of South Farthing hard wood chips for the making of their paper. (They now import eucalyptus, but that's their problem...) While looking for other work, I took a part time position as Administrator at my church. (For what it was worth, this actually cost me money since it paid rather little, but they needed the help.) One week later, the pastor and the youth leader announced they were leaving the church and their spouses for each other. This devastated the entire congregation, as you might well imagine. Long story short, I was ordained and asked to be the Interim Pastor. So its been busy, busy, busy! Later...

I miss Ravandah. But since he only posted in the Language forum I doubt if he stuck around after its demise. He would have made a great Mod for it, if it would have went that way. He could have translated the Declaration of Independence into Sindarin AND Quenya while balancing on one foot.

Digging up a thread for someone today reminded me that Lyra Greenleaf hasn't been seen awhile. And while I'm at it, whatever happened to Morwen Tindomerel...she was one of the most thoughtful posters on the Downs, IMO.

Why, hello everyone! Yes, I'm actually posting after not having posted in... what... half a year? I've been thinking about all my BD pals and decided to pay a visit. A lot of things have changed; the forum has gotten a completely new look and it's moved. There are a few new members here that I don't recognize, but still many I do remember
![]() What's going on with me? Well, goodness, let's see... my high school's music department (whose orchestra I play violin in) just got back from a competition in Santa Clara, CA. We did extremely well: aside from our choral department sweeping all their divisions, the chamber orchestra was invited to collaborate next year with-- yes-- the Boston Pops Symphony. We also were awarded Best Music Department. I'm so proud! Music has practically taken over my life. I have not a moment of time for going online these days, much less frequenting any sort of board, but I'm still an avid Lord of the Rings fan! And, yeah, my little Legolas shrine is still above my bed... *ducks projectile vegetables from anti-Leggy-boppers*I miss you all and think of you often! Talk to you again soon! Amore, Ithaeliel P.S. I started taking Latin this year. It's the best western language ever!

Just so I can get this straight, are we mourning those who have passed back into the world of the living here?
![]() Hello Ithaeliel. Good to see you back. ![]() I must say that this is a rather interesting thread to read (or should I say re-read), although many of those mourned were members long before I joined. I suppose there will always be a natural flow of members drifting in and out. There are many who have posted on this thread in the past who haven't been around for a while. Birdland and Maril spring to mind in particular. Still, having mourned doug*platypus's absence about a year ago, I am pleased to see that he has returned and is now posting again.

Some of my favorite quizzers were Elrian, Gilthalion, and Telchar, even though he was here in January. I haven't seen Bruce MacCulloch or Mat Heathertoes/Russandol for a while either.

Hi, Ith.Bird and Maril are rather busy with real life but do stop by now and again. You asked about Amanaduial. You'll find that she is helping Piosenniel and Child run The Shire.

Bill Ferny
According to member list, he was last seen on January 1, 1970, Presumably, as all others have their last visits on the same day or this very spring, it means he was here at best prior to vB update this last February. Pity.

According to his profile, Gandalf_theGrey's last post was 05-17-2003. I miss him deeply. I have only one burger-king-goblet and it's the Gandalf one-- and I think of GtG every time I drink out of it, or wash it, or put it away. We squared off more than once in fisticuffs which saddens me now. I pray he is blessed and graced wherever he is.

Oh, I miss Gandalf_theGrey too
![]() He wrote such wonderful visual filled posts, and I will remember him for those. I had forgotten though that he had not been here for quite awhile. I hope though that he does someday come back to the downs. That would be wonderful. I do though get sad when people leave and never come back. I have never liked it. But then I do know that in the life of a forum, these types of occurances are commonplace. But they still are sad. Especially because I tend to be quite the quiet type, so I never really know why, or if there is an actual reason of why they left. I do know that most of the time they leave with no warning. With most just dissapearing into the vastness of the internet.

Fallen Comrades
This thread is so depressing...
I say: three cheers for all the great posters who have left indefinitely, but three equally grand cheers for all the great contributors who are still around posting away! I have only officially been a member of this site for a few hours, but I have been coming here and loving the experience for more than a year. Here is my slim contribution to the ongoing lament: Where in the heck is Gwaihir the Windlord?? |

I'm probably just looking in the wrong places, but I haven't seen Meela, Rhynoa, or Sophia the Thunder Mistress around for quite a while. Where have they gone? And what about purplefluffychainsaw? And skippy the nasgul? Oh, skippy, where art thou?

If you click on "Members List" in the menu, you can find their name, go to their profile, and check their most recent posts, hunt them down and join their thread (or PM them.). It's a good way to catch up with old (but not quite lost) friends.

I have not seen Meela for a while. I also liked guy who be short's posts. I haven't seen him in a while either. Skippy and purplefluffychainsaw are also a couple of people I haven't seen in a while also. But maybe that's just me.
