[Groin Redbeard]

Well 'tis true, but what exactly is this thread about?

Beats me. I just revived it because I like the quote, and dislike elves.;)

[TheGreatElvenWarrior]

Beats me. I just revived it because I like the quote, and dislike elves.;)I don't like elves that much either, but maybe we should abandon this thread, because it has no point!

Hmmm... I think "The Golden Age of Barrow-Downs" had a lot more posters who were mostly attracted to this site through the movies, and thus a lot more activity, but as for quality? The current Barrow-Downs is better. Leastways, that's my impression after coming back to Barrow-Downs after four years of 'life'.

When Amie 's post count comes up n/a, it probably means either Amie was banned or Amie didn't last long. In that sense, the old Downs was more of a battlefield.

In regards to So much for the mythic "Golden Age of the Downs"-- we had our Amies. True. And we had threads that snapped shut; I'm surprised that this wasn't one of them.

But we also had our Birdlands, lindils, Squatters, Sharkus, Mithadans, and the indomitable Mr. Underhill.

I miss those days.

[mark12_30]

There. Ten minutes in Haudh-En-Ndengin, and I feel much better.

[Eorl of Rohan]

Wait, Sharku and Mithadan isn't still around?

[mark12_30]

Big difference between dropping by occasionally, versus posting often. Even Mister Underhill is still here; but a post from him is now a rare and celebratory treasure.
