Is forum losing members? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Wow, I'm surprised that my account is still active (Thanks BW for not deleting). I had checked up on it months ago, at different times, and was just as suprised. Well, I had planned on getting back up on things.

When I first went to college, I had (unintentionally) stopped going here, and evertime I had come back, I felt like I was too unfamiliar with things to post. So, now it's summer, and I plan on re-reading the books and catching up on things.

I had also planned on donating to this site, which I haven't done yet, and I'm sorry and ashamed for.....something which I also plan on doing.

It's strange coming back here, I'm trying to make sure I don't slip up grammer-wise.

Well, I'm trying to come back, and if you don't see me back, just email the hell out of me, and it will get my attention. Hopefully I can get on top of things and get back and give my support.

But on the bright side, the people who are left are all true Tolkien fans and really happy to be here

Just that someone doesn't post here anymore doesn't mean that he isn't a "true" Tolkien fan.
And what do you mean by "true"?

I drifted off for a while too (hey, that should be our new refrain

).
In my case, it was due to the forum switching to V-Bulletin. I lost my password and couldn't get it back and just got confused and left. Then, several months later, I tried again and miraculously my correct password managed to get to me without any major hindrances on the way. So I came back.
After returning, I mostly lurked in the Shadows, reading a lot but not posting much. I guess I've been posting a lot more frequently of late, and have had fun acquainting myself with the newer (joined after 2005) members, especially in ME Mirth.
