Know your history, folks! Up goes the thread which was already labeled 'this old fossil' as far back as February 2001
![]() I have strong suspisions as of this particular thing being the very first post of the very first thread on the BD fora, and what with having the fourth birthday of those celebrated just the previous week, let it be exhibited for the awestruck crowds to gape at!

HerenIstarion, I must say you always somehow dig up the best instances of "old fossils." Good job finding the first post in the first thread in the entire discussion forum! What a gem!
Goodness, I wasn't even around until two years later (almost exactly!) and I feel as though I've been here forever. BW must feel ancient, being here twice as long! ![]()

Interesting. I'm going to assume that the first post was made after the Downs moved from EZBoard? A while back, someone surfaced with a link to the old, EZBoard forum. It was very neat; I should try to find it again and link it here. It was great seeing how different it was, yet creepy at the same time to see the Downs so deserted.
[EDIT] Aha! Found it! Ancient Barrow-Downs!

Eep... that's scary... seeing the Downs like that... I mean, come on... the LOGO doesn't even glow yet... and... it's... well... EMPTY! Just like in Tolkien's world...
At least the moderator names are familiar. Hmmm... where was I four years ago... Oh, I REMEMBER! I was watching the Phantom Menace! The one think I can recall from four years ago, is watching Star Wars for the first time. I'd never heard of the Hobbit, let alone Lord of the Rings... for crying out loud, I was only ten back then... I'm scared now! I suppose EZboards, and Proboards are where good boards begin then, I still find it hard to believe that the Barrow-downs began as an EZboard! And look at them now! -Eowyn Skywalker |

So that's how The Downs originally looked like.

Here's a bit of Downs history for you. There's every reason to think that this was the first thread ever started: an old campaigner which bears the scars of two changes of forum software and nearly seven years of posting.
Heren Istarion bumped this up back in May 2004, so since it's about time it was seen again I've followed suit. Enjoy.

7 years is a long time...
I like all those symbols and font codes that go along with every sentence in the old posts... how very Stone Age that seems now... ![]()

Wow, I feel like I've been here so long. I've only seen two editions of forum software, not three, but this makes me feel old.

Looking through the ancient scrolls of the Barrow-Downs, I see user Michael Martinez. Did the Downs spawn this famous author?

It's even more amazing now, Durelin!
Gather round, ye Wights, and behold the history of the Downs. Many of those ancient threads are still interesting. ![]()

I thought Durelin was someone else when I first returned to the Downs after an absence, and now I remember why: there was a member called Durelen back in the old days.

Ah, truly. My sore eyes must be getting worse or something. Nonetheless, the thing about secrets better left buried still holds.
