Any chance of getting the Language Forum back? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

1. It didn't get deleted, it got merged.

2. Like I said before, and I won't hesitate to quote myself:

"I don't see why it should be impossible for our members to incorporate the Languages forum into Books. The close correlation of language and literature is what mediaeval lit., and incidentally, Tolkien, is all about after all. This does not even mean that language topics need to have any special relevance for a literature discussion. However, if it forces language topics to adopt the same standard as the Books forum is intented to have, I cannot see how people willing to discuss the Languages would not benefit from it." (see here for the earlier discussion: http://forum.barrowdowns.com/showthr...1&page=1&pp=40 )
