Hm I just noticed in an old thread that Helkahothion is banned. May I ask why and since when? Any answers to that?

Amanaduial the archer · 05-23-2004, 02:47 PM

Balin, see your PMs for an explanation - well, in about five minutes when I've actually written it!

Carlas · 05-23-2004, 05:25 PM

Ah, poor Helka! I never did find out why he was banned...

*tear*

Brinniel · 06-07-2004, 06:07 PM

Wow, my name's been mentioned. What a pleasant surprise to know I've been missed.

I sure have been busy with that- at least up until the beginning of May. Then it was all English homework and more homework. gah. Thankfully school is over. *sigh of relief*

...the idea of the game she and I were planning finally kind of...fell apart.

Oh yeah, it's a shame that never worked out. I would've liked to had a successful sequel.

HerenIstarion · 06-10-2004, 06:16 AM

hola, Brinniel, welcome back

Amanaduial the archer · 06-10-2004, 11:34 AM

Welcome back, Brinn!

Fordim Hedgethistle · 06-11-2004, 06:09 AM

I really miss Roa_Aoife -- she and I joined the Downs at almost the same moment and we immediately began RPing together at the Green Dragon. It got off to a rocky start after a misunderstanding which led to some bunnying of her character (by another member, now also departed, not by me

), but we worked that out and did some wonderful writing together.

The good news is, her absence from the Downs should be temporary only, as she's said that she intends to be back in September. Still, people do tend to drift away.

Amanaduial the archer · 06-11-2004, 10:53 AM

Where did Rao_Aoife go?

piosenniel · 06-11-2004, 11:12 AM

Roa is sorting out a few RL glitches and hindrances and may be back later in the year.

Thank you. And hopefully I won't be disappearing again anytime soon.

I'm sad to see that so many BDers have disappeared during my absence. Tigerlily, Arien, Sophia, and Mattius to name a few....

Ith- I'm hoping that you didn't just come on the BD for a few days and then leave again. If that's so, well, I gonna have to come after you. I know where you live.....

HerenIstarion · 06-13-2004, 10:13 AM

And LePetitChoux too, I'm grieved to mention

Sirithheruwen · 06-27-2004, 12:20 PM

I miss Naz's squee-ing.

She was doing so well on the Walk to Rivendell too. I admit, I was jealous a bit when she lapped me, but it was all in good fun.

Sky be with you, Naz. Sky be with you.

His last activity was September 17 and his last post was July 20

Where is our illegal resident of Bar-en-Danwedh?

Estelyn Telcontar · 11-04-2004, 11:27 PM

A major real life change has given him less time and very limited internet access. He is sorely missed here!

Mithalwen · 11-05-2004, 12:58 PM

I miss Osse the homophonous ... I see he visits but he doesn't post.

Tigerlily Gamgee · 12-14-2004, 10:50 PM

I don't know if I've been missed or not, but I know it's been forever since I've been here. I had some issues logging on for quite some time, I don't know what it was. Also, now that I am back, I notice that hundreds of posts in my post count have disappeared. Also, I need to get my little hobbit lass avatar back. I must relocate her!
What have I been doing, you wonder? Maybe you wonder...
Anyway, I've been really busy. I spent a few months being unemployed in the spring of this year, then I got cast in a stage production of The Threepenny Opera and made some money from that. I also went back to work at this living history museum I've worked at sporatically, and I worked as a food vendor at the local ballpark... glamorous, no?
Come fall I got cast in a small political satrye called Laura's Bush and I started working as a substitute teacher. After that play was over I started rehearsals for She Loves Me and I'm performing in that right now. I also got my first commercial! I'll be shooting in within the next week or so.
So, I've been a busy little lass, but I'm gonna try to stop in here more often, because I still find the discussions here to be more in depth than any other board I've visited in the last year. Glad to see so many familiar people still around

Kuruharan · 12-14-2004, 11:08 PM

Well, we're glad you're back...

Sophia the Thunder Mistress · 01-12-2005, 10:03 PM

Hello hello...

Nice to see a few people have missed me (bit of an ego trip, I guess). I'm still kicking around here sometimes and hopefully will be kicking around some more in the near future.

Sophe

Child of the 7th Age · 01-12-2005, 11:41 PM

Sophia,

It is good to see you again! I hope things are going well. Drop into the Green Dragon Inn, if you can find the time.

~Cami

the phantom · 01-13-2005, 01:20 AM

Sophia!

You've been gone forever. I think it was just a couple weeks ago that I thought "I wonder what ever happened to Sophia?"

Hope you stick around for a while.

Fordim Hedgethistle · 07-11-2005, 09:44 AM

I miss Kransha. I have no idea why he disappeared or if it's permanent or what, but according to his profile his last visit was over a month ago (4th June).

Come back my loquacious and voracious friend. Return to the Downs, nimbly putting forth your digits to the rattling clatter of the keyboard so that we may all once more cast our eyes across the flickering emanating liquid crystals of our displays and engage your linguistic excesses with glee and happy familiarity.

Amanaduial the archer · 07-11-2005, 09:49 AM

Fordim, I'm scared

But I miss Kransha as well - come back, Kransha! You left Fall of the North in its swing!

I miss Esgallhugwen. Quenya won't be the same without the friendly candlemaker.

Amanaduial the archer · 07-11-2005, 11:08 AM

Esgallhugwen...isn't gone...

the guy who be short · 07-11-2005, 12:30 PM

She hasn't been here for quite a while. I think she popped in to say she was ill, in which case, get well soon to her! However, just in case she is gone...
Edit: apparently she just got back yesterday.

In any case, I also miss ElenCala Isil, who doesn't seem to have come here or posted for a long while.

VanimaEdhel · 07-11-2005, 02:55 PM

You know, I feel kind of weird: I don't know a lot of the people others are missing because they came and went when I was absent.

She can generally be found at Rivendell. Her name there is Mippin. It seems that a lot of people who were once here quite a bit have come less and less since they've joined smaller fora that sprung out of here. It happened to me, and I only belonged to two other smaller fora. I was gone a lot during 2004 and the early part of this year due to that, and I think that's what happened to a lot of others too.

Durelin · 01-18-2006, 05:08 PM

I hate to resurrect this thread, but... I swear I saw Maikadilwen on the 'Who's Online' list...

Child of the 7th Age · 01-18-2006, 05:56 PM

Durelin,

You are correct. I say Maikadilwen on the board and sent her a pm. She is currently writing on another board, but has promised to lurk every now and then. I was very happy to see her again, if only in passing.

Child

Maikadilwen · 01-24-2006, 03:30 PM

Yes dears, I'm here...nothing much to say about it though.

***Mithadan*** · 01-26-2006, 06:11 PM

Well, well. Look what the goddess dragged in...

HerenIstarion · 01-27-2006, 01:35 PM

Nice to see you back, Maikadilwen

It is a bit creepy that Eruwen - thread-starter, is nowhere to be seen for quite a while.

Alkanoonion · 02-09-2006, 09:14 PM

I love reading old posts; whenever I have had an extended absence I always read the announcements forum to see what I have missed. I hope to be around more myself now that the movie fuss is over.

I have been spending a lot of time 600+hrs on an online game “Guild Wars”

Now that my obsession with guild wars is over I hope to spend more time on the downs. So I hope to see you all soon

Glirdan · 02-09-2006, 09:39 PM

Where has Perky gotten to? Has anybody seen him lately?

It's nice to see Wilwa back...sort of. She's been busy with school and stuff. Hopefully she'll start posting more once she plays in Kitanna's WWJ game.

I cannot forget my partner in crime in LOTR Survivor. Where has dear old Folwren gotten to? I see she's started a new thread, but I haven't seen her since.
