Its good to see everyone!
I've been around the Barrows since I first lurked back in the EZ Board days, but never kept record of my couple posts. I seem to drop in now and then... usually after I've had a few beers.... post a few times, then disappear for a time. Thats probably why I only have about 300+ posts after 7 years.
Thinlómien, I remember you in that I've read some of your RP posts. I got into one RP here, even helped craft its beginnings... Lingering Darkness... but had to drop out due to a rather chaotic personal life at the time. I would consider getting into an RP here again, but I'm committed to a couple stories on other boards. That and I find the RP forums here too structured and stifling to my creativity. I do like reading what others write here though as they seem to thrive in this environment.
Pleased to meet you too Pitchwife. I think I put a pic of me with my Barrow Downs shirt on... can't remember now. Yeah, I'm old.
Its good to see life in the Downs. A few other Tolkien boards have all but died except for a few folk, and so its good to see activity here.
