Hah, Mattius blue hair sounds awesome. I would enjoy having blue hair but people might think I am odd. I am dying my hair black this holiday!

Back on topic, I am sending the new Nilly’s picture in so say bye to the old one!

~Nilly

[Yavanna228]

Oooh, Matt...electric! smilies/wink.gif

Peace

[Alkanoonion]

I have 4 new pictures to add to the member’s photo page but I have been having problems with my uploading to my server so tonight I will be moving the member’s page to a new server.

[Annalaliath]

I will have a few new pictures to add. get rid of that one with the black dress. my dad got a good one of me yesterday, and another one my cosin took shoud be developed soon too. I now have normal hair, not orange.

[DarkRose]

I'm about to send in an updated photo. The one of me on the site is about 2 years old. smilies/redface.gif So I thought I should post a very recent one.

Just to let you know. ^^;
In case my e-mail doesn't go through (it's been very troublesome lately), the address of my new photo is:
http://www.geocities.com/wannabegypsy88/normalme.txt

[Alkanoonion]

I hope to have the page updated in 12 to 24hrs. hope you all had a great xmas smilies/smile.gif

[Faye Took]

Everyone looks grreat!!

I'm looking forward to more pictures.

And I need a new one of me, XD.

[Tigerlily Gamgee]

Oh no! My little hobbit lass picture has disappeared! smilies/frown.gif and I had her for so long smilies/frown.gif

Well, I tried putting a link to a new pic, so let's see if it works... if it doesn't then for some reason my profile page isn't updating correctly.

[Alkanoonion]

It has been some time between updates of the member photo page largely because my site / server is not working as it should. As a result I have been working on my other site attempting to transfer all the pics over. Thanks to all the people who have sent me pictures. Once I have completed the transfer I will amend my signature to point to the new address.

I don't mean to sound gay (not that it would matter if I was), but Turambar is a sexy, sexy man.

You've been at the Gaffer's home brew again, haven't you?

[Sparrow]

Well I haven't NOT been at the Gaffer's home brew, if you read me. smilies/wink.gif

[Ainaserkewen]

Hehe, "Home Brew," heheh.


You know, I think I'll keep this avatar forever. Whenever I go looking for a new one, nothing seems quite right. I used to have an Elijah as Frodo avatar, but then the BW imposed that ban against overly large avatars. It moved, so it had to go. But seriously, it'll be with me forever I think.

Still needing a new pic to post...I'm working on it, but webcams and digital cameras are hard to come by in the middle of nowhere.

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Hmmm...so many victims, so little time. No wonder I don't get vacations... smilies/wink.gif smilies/rolleyes.gif

Hey! You all look wonderful! Which confirms my ideology that there are three levels of society:

1. Those who haven't read the books(yes, even if they watched the movie)

2. Those who've read the books.

and the highest tier of society...

3. Barrowdowners. smilies/biggrin.gif smilies/biggrin.gif smilies/biggrin.gif

If anyone cares, I'll send my picture when I was seven... smilies/rolleyes.gif I don't think you'll want to see me now. Beside, all my recent pictures show either my neck or my back. Which is not good.

[Cuthalion]

Someone needs to begin perstering Maikadilwen to post the pic I took of her on New Year's Eve! smilies/biggrin.gif smilies/evil.gif

[Maikadilwen]

Traitor! smilies/wink.gif

[Mithadan]

Pester, pester...

[Amanaduial the archer]

I second that motion: pester, pester...

[Orominuialwen]

Yes, I third it. smilies/biggrin.gif *pesters until she gets bored and wanders off*

[Maikadilwen]

Now, now, children! smilies/wink.gif Behave!

I really begin to wonder about these people I call "friends"... *starts looking back over shoulder*

[HerenIstarion]

Maika, would you surrender to plea and a bit of pathetic glittering in the corner's of one's eyes instead of pestering? :)

[Alkanoonion]

Long story short
The old site is gone but never fear I have a new web host so I will soon have the site/ photo page up and running again.

[Vuelve]

When is the gallery going to be finished??I'm dying to look at you peoples' pictures!!

Peace,
Vuelve

[Gorwingel]

Well Vuelve, it was up before, but it is just that Alk is currently having trouble with it, but it should be up soon (I hope) :cool:

Alkanoonion?
Where oh where are you?

[Potatothan]

*Pesters Maikadilwen*

I'll see if I can get a picture of myself, but I only have a normal camera, so it's gonna be hard since I don't have a scanner. Working on it though.

~Potatothan

[Vuelve]

Could you guys post your pics on the thread so we can admire them while Alk. fixes the page?

[Orominuialwen]

I finally got permission from my parents to put up the picture we have of my brother High KIng Fingolfin and myself dressed as hobbits. Now to only get our scanner working! :rolleyes:

[Vuelve]

Since Alk. hasn't done much lately with the pic. page, I propose that someone should set up a new one.Not me though I'm not so good with that sort of thing.Isn't there a place on MSN where you can post a photo album?? I think you can start a group and post pics.I dunno.It's just a suggestion since a new thread popped up in ME mirth section about how we BDrs look.

Vuelve

[Oddwen]

There's a site called www.photobucket.com, it's very easy to use.

[The Only Real Estel]

Any progress on the new site, Alk? Or any idea/estimate of when it might be done?

[Saraphim]

Growl. None of the old links work for me. It's probably because they're old.

I've got a picture that makes me look like I'm commanding the minions of Thangorodrim to my every whim, but you can't really see what I look like.

[Vuelve]

I think Alk.'s last post in a while was on this thread. Perhaps Alk. has done the unthinkable and abandoned the photo page and the Downs? If Alk. has, does anyone else agree that a new photo page should be created?? I would love to take on the responsibility, but currently both of my Email addresses are the free versions of hotmail and yahoo which don't allow that much space.I also don't know a good place to post them; I could check out MSN groups about posting.Or a better ultimatium could be a section here on the Downs for pictures like they have on CouncilofElrond.com.This is just a suggestion.Does anyone else have any imput??

Vuelve

[Gorwingel]

I agree
I really think that we need to have another photo page put together, and if you are all for the responsiblity Vuelve, I think you should go for it.

It is sad that Alk dissapeared, and I wish him the best of luck wherever he is :cool:

[Mad Baggins]

I agree, that is a very good idea, Vuelve. It could have one thread for pictures and another for comments and suggestions. We just need to convince the B-W.

[Vuelve]

I agree that we should try to convince the BW before I undergo the tedious process of creating a picture page.Blah I'm not very good at that sort of thing.Anyone volunteer to convince the BW??

[Mad Baggins]

I'll give it a go, and let you guys know of the result. Wish me luck!

[The Only Real Estel]

Good luck. I'm sure the BW is waiting for you, since he's probably been reading all the posts on this thread ;). If we can't have a pic page here on the downs, I think it'd be a great idea to get one started somewhere else. But don't look at me, I have no expierence with websites :D.

[Mad Baggins]

Most likely he has, Estel. :)

Okay, the PM has been sent and now all we need to do is wait for a response.

[Vuelve]

Bah!!! Waiting Sucks!!! **Have I mentioned that I love you yet today Mr. BW??? Your my hero.** *cough* sorry I couldn't help a little shamless sucking up.

[Mad Baggins]

There's a little brown on your nose, there, Vuelve...:D

[Vuelve]

Brown! On my nose! You truely are mad!........

.........Just look at my avatar Mr. BW. Just look into my eyes. How could you resist granting a humble, poor, little, kittie's request?*sniffle**sniffle* ;)

[The Barrow-Wight]

OK, OK. A photo topic here on the Downs sounds like a good idea, but we'll need a couple things figured out before I give it a final OK.

First, who is going to maintain it? I would need one dedicated forum member who knows how to use FTP and how to resize images. You'd have to know how to FTP, because we would host the pics on the Downs server. You'd have to know how to resize images, because we'd have to set a size limit - 250 sounds senisible to me.

I've had a few PMs about it (ohhh... I do so dislike when people gang up with PMs), but I'm not really sure who'll fit the bill just yet. Do I have any volunteers?

[The Saucepan Man]

I'd be happy to volunteer, but I have no idea what FTP is, let alone how to use it. So there may be better candidates ... :rolleyes:

[Niluial]

I am an experienced FTP user and know exactly what to do. I also know how to resize images and currently have lots of time on my hands. I would love to offer my help.

[Vuelve]

Although like The Saucepan Man I don't know what FTP is, I was one of the people pushing to get something like this done here on the Downs, so I volunteer to help.

[Alkanoonion]

Sorry for such a long absence, I have been around just not posting Alk would never abandon the Downs; it's my fav site.

I have an updated Downs photo page that is ready for posting I have just been preoccupied with work. While I get the page posted why not have a look at some pictures of the LOTR parade

Looks like BW is going to host the pics here on the downs, I can use ftp (file transfer protocol) but if you have someone else who would like to take on maintaining the new page I can send them the members pictures or I can upload them to the server.

[Vuelve]

Yay!!! You came back!!!

[mark12_30]

Saucie, I think you could get used to FTP pretty quickly.

Who do I talk to to get my picture removed? Or exhanged for another one?

[Legolas]

I can do it. I've been resizing images and using FTP for a long time. Alk can do it if he wants - if so, I can just help, and take over in vacation periods.

[Fordim Hedgethistle]

Hey, who needs FTP -- wanna see precisely what I look like? Check out the Avvie. . . :D

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Yeah, right! :D

But really, you look a lot better than your avvie - checked out your page. It was awesome. :)

Do I get the impression that you're a...

Zip it, buster.

[Alkanoonion]

Barrow Down members photos can be found on

http://www.hallsofmandos.net/downs.htm

:D

[Fordim Hedgethistle]

But really, you look a lot better than your avvie - checked out your page. It was awesome.

Sorry to disappoint, but if you went to the page linked as my homepage, then that's not me at all. I merely linked to that "end of the Internet" site as a joke. I am not Dan Hughes.

Guess I should remove that for fear of more unintentional misrepresentation!

[Niluial]

Is there an email address or something where we can send updated pictures to?

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

Alk, any way of finding out who's who on there? Nice pics and all (great job), but I'd love to know who I'm actually seeing. Although it was kinda fun going through and saying "that looks somewhat like I pictured Sharku".

Fea

[Imladris]

On my computer I just hovered my mouse over the pictures. And then on the bottom left hand corner of the browser (you know the part that says "done" when the page is done loading) that's where I see who's on it. Of course the entire URL is ther as well, but their name is there as well. :D

Cheers,
Imladris

[Firefoot]

My computer doesn't have the hover thing either... but I figured out that if you click on the thumbnails and get the larger pic, the name of that BD'er shows up in the address bar, for example: http://www.hallsofmandos.net/Lindolirian.jpg is Lindolirian's pic.

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

OK, you scare me, Fordim.

All estimations about you were wrong. I guess I must go to ultimate stalk-mode, then. Mwahahahaha!!!

BTW, nice new site, Alka. :)

[Alkanoonion]

any way of finding out who's who on there I can add the names on tonight when I remove some of the pictures.

Until things change you can have your pic added or removed by E-mail me at jwahl@bigpond.com

[Araréiel]

Yup, that's me, from a photo shoot in February.

If you need any help, I know a perfectly good person sitting right here who stays home all day and is working on getting up a website, LordOfTheRingsOnline.net..... Might be a good place for pics. I'll foot the bill up to a point. I know where to get some really cheap bandwidth too. I've been learning some of this stuff, and this would be a great opportunity to learn more.

[Orominuialwen]

wanna see precisely what I look like? Check out the Avvie Oh shoot! I was hoping you looked more like your old avatar. ;) I love pugs! :D

[Alkanoonion]

ok the photo page has been updated with 2 new pictures (Bekah the one in the middle http://www.hallsofmandos.net/Bekah.jpg
and AmanaduialtheArcher http://www.hallsofmandos.net/Amanaduial%20the%20Archer%20.jpg to look at all the photos just select

[Evisse the Blue]

Really nice! It's weird how everyone looks more or less like I imagined them. Especially Erendis, who is by far the cutest BD-er I've seen so far! :D :)

[the phantom]

Keep adding those pics, Alka, especially if they're well dressed, hot lookin' young ladies like Bekah and Aman. Nice pics you two.
Especially Erendis, who is by far the cutest BD-er I've seen so far!
Hee hee... yeah, that's such a cute picture.

[Bekah]

*blushes* Thank you, Phantom.

~ Elentari II

P.S. For anyone interested, my avatar is also a pic of me. Just so you all know...

[Alkanoonion]

Bekah I just loved your photo, is your pic from a play? I think that a story is hidden here. your expression is very interesting.

[Bekah]

Bekah I just loved your photo, is your pic from a play? I think that a story is hidden here. your expression is very interesting.

I don't look very happy, do I?

Yes, it's from the recent production of Sound of Music. On the far left is Baron Eberfield, standing next to his wife, Baroness Eberfield. Captain Von Trapp - played by Ray Woolf (famous actor in NZ, not sure how widespread his fame is) - is leaning over me to kiss her hand. I played Frau Zeller, the wife of the most prominent Nazi in the story. I'm not very pleased, as my 'husband' has just created a nasty scene at the party we are attending, hosted by the Captain.

It was lots of fun. I also played a nun - I was kneeling at the alter when the curtain came up, all by my onesies...though my knees did get sore doing that night after night after night - and I was the understudy to Sister Margaretta.

Unfortunately, our melodrama 'play' at school is a nightmare....we have to write our own script and so on, but one of the boys in our 5-person cast is an absolute moron...it's going worse than nowhere and we have only one week left!!! :eek:

You look beautiful, Aman. So do many of the others - or handsome as the case may be (no names :D). I really enjoy seeing everybody's pic...some don't look at all the way I imagined them. Erendis looks sweet, and so do the other baby pics. :p

Cheers,

~ Rebekah

[Orominuialwen]

You guys all look great! :D Now if only I could get my scanner to work so I could show you my pic...

[Amanaduial the archer]

Keep adding those pics, Alka, especially if they're well dressed, hot lookin' young ladies like Bekah and Aman. Nice pics you two.

*also blushes predictably* Thanks, Phantom. :)

though my knees did get sore doing that night after night after night Oh dear.... :p I love that film.

[Alkanoonion]

The second new picture added is Estel

Remember to have your photo added E-mail jwahl@bigpond.com

[Elennar Starfire]

Would it be alright if I attached a picture to a post? I'm having email difficulties...

[Alkanoonion]

Sorry but I no longer have time to maintain the Barrow Down members photo page due to a tremendous work load. I have recently changed my job and have been busy learning the ropes. :(

[Elennar Starfire]

Are you likely to have time in the future, or is it pretty much dead eternally?

[Amanaduial the archer]

Good luck with your new job, Alk :)

[Alkanoonion]

I hope to have more time in the future; I still love the Downs but things are tight at the moment. My boss is away for the next 3 weeks so I will be busy doing his work as well as my own. :eek:
