Hooray!
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 |

Now that's scary.
So that's how The Downs originally looked like.
Suddenly I've remembered the forum in UBB. Sigh...memories...  I should have joined the forum the first time I've heard about The Barrow-Downs... more than three years ago.

Eldest
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.
