A Memorial of Members

[Ithaeliel]

Thanks though, Ithaeliel - I'm not sure whether to feel complimented or overlooked!

Feel complimented- that was my first post here since last October, and I'd hardly even glanced at any of the forums before I came running to this thread to proclaim my return . Glad to see you are here! Brinniel is in my English class; she hasn't talked about the BD for months! I'll have to ask her what's going on; I think she may have become too busy with the dance team. It's pretty likely, the team having competitions and shows and games to perform in and all.

[Amanaduial the archer]

Well, even if she doesn't come back, I wish her luck and happiness with that She was an excellent person to plan and game with - Rest In Life, Brinniel *hats off*

[Sirithheruwen]

I have not seen Meela for a while. I also liked guy who be short's posts. I haven't seen him in a while either. Skippy and purplefluffychainsaw are also a couple of people I haven't seen in a while also. But maybe that's just me.

[Balin999]

Hm I just noticed in an old thread that Helkahothion is banned. May I ask why and since when? Any answers to that?

[Amanaduial the archer]

Balin, see your PMs for an explanation - well, in about five minutes when I've actually written it!

[Carlas]

Ah, poor Helka! I never did find out why he was banned...

*tear*

[Brinniel]

Wow, my name's been mentioned. What a pleasant surprise to know I've been missed.

I think she may have become too busy with the dance team.

I sure have been busy with that- at least up until the beginning of May. Then it was all English homework and more homework. gah. Thankfully school is over. *sigh of relief*

...the idea of the game she and I were planning finally kind of...fell apart.

Oh yeah, it's a shame that never worked out. I would've liked to had a successful sequel.

I feel it’s my duty to wonder about Robin Headstrong, the creator of the largest thread on the Downs. Crazy Captions. Even when I first entered a barrow, he was gone. Does anyone know where this creator of captions went? The thread is now reaching 10000 posts; I think if he comes back he'll be very surprised.

[Alkanoonion]

Thanks Child of the 7th Age

Well I remember my first foray into the world of written roll playing; I hope that you find my grammar much improved

This was my longest wait in the halls of Mandos but Namo has relented and I have been allowed to return.

BTW I enjoyed your last post in “I found the Entwives” I just wish that Teleporno would return and share his analysis with us.

Alkanoonion,

A long wait in the halls of Mandos does not sound good! Glad you got out.

Thanks. I had fun with that post in I Found the Entwives, although in one sense it's a "futile effort". Since Teleporno hasn't shown his nose in either Land of Rohan or Minas Tirith since December 2003, I doubt he will do so. There's the possibility he posts on Tolkien sites like those under a different name today, but my gut says no. He is certainly not on this site. It wouldn't be hard to recognize someone with his particular mindset (the underlying ideas I talked about in the post) if he was here in Books.

Hmm.... I do love a mystery. Perhaps the only way to get an answer is to secure a list of film graduates at "KU" in 1992 (presumably Kansas State or U of Kansas if that is a typo) who then went on to work for U Kansas. There can't be too many of those! Don't know, though, if he'd spill the beans. It's possible he had second thoughts about his interpretations re the Entwives, but decided to keep the posters squirming!

A side note.... Glirdan asked about Perky Ent. She hasn't been on since January 2. At that point, she'd just returned to New Orleans and was without utilities, phone, and iternet. I hope she is doing alright.

I really miss Roa_Aoife -- she and I joined the Downs at almost the same moment and we immediately began RPing together at the Green Dragon. It got off to a rocky start after a misunderstanding which led to some bunnying of her character (by another member, now also departed, not by me ), but we worked that out and did some wonderful writing together.

The good news is, her absence from the Downs should be temporary only, as she's said that she intends to be back in September. Still, people do tend to drift away.

[Amanaduial the archer]

Where did Rao_Aoife go?

[piosenniel]

Roa is sorting out a few RL glitches and hindrances and may be back later in the year.

[Brinniel]

hola, Brinniel, welcome back

Welcome back, Brinn!

Thank you. And hopefully I won't be disappearing again anytime soon.

I'm sad to see that so many BDers have disappeared during my absence. Tigerlily, Arien, Sophia, and Mattius to name a few....

Ith- I'm hoping that you didn't just come on the BD for a few days and then leave again. If that's so, well, I gonna have to come after you. I know where you live.....

[Tigerlily Gamgee]

I don't know if I've been missed or not, but I know it's been forever since I've been here. I had some issues logging on for quite some time, I don't know what it was. Also, now that I am back, I notice that hundreds of posts in my post count have disappeared. Also, I need to get my little hobbit lass avatar back. I must relocate her!
What have I been doing, you wonder? Maybe you wonder...
Anyway, I've been really busy. I spent a few months being unemployed in the spring of this year, then I got cast in a stage production of The Threepenny Opera and made some money from that. I also went back to work at this living history museum I've worked at sporatically, and I worked as a food vendor at the local ballpark... glamorous, no?
Come fall I got cast in a small political satrye called Laura's Bush and I started working as a substitute teacher. After that play was over I started rehearsals for She Loves Me and I'm performing in that right now. I also got my first commercial! I'll be shooting in within the next week or so.
So, I've been a busy little lass, but I'm gonna try to stop in here more often, because I still find the discussions here to be more in depth than any other board I've visited in the last year. Glad to see so many familiar people still around

[Kuruharan]

Well, we're glad you're back...

...whatever it is you've been doing.

[the phantom]

I don't know if I've been missed or not

Of course you've been missed. Don't be silly.

[Gilthalion]

Few live who now remember...

Am able on a more or less weekly basis to check in, though not to really participate as I was once able.

Still remembering fondly the good old days of Fan Fics, RPGs, Essays, the secret world of post-Smaug Dale hidden on BW's computer, pristine discussions before the movies...

[Sophia the Thunder Mistress]

Hello hello...

Nice to see a few people have missed me (bit of an ego trip, I guess). I'm still kicking around here sometimes and hopefully will be kicking around some more in the near future.

I remember those days, back when myths and legends hadn't become such yet.
