A Memorial of Members - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

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.

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.

Thanks all
1 member who I have not seen in a long time is Gandalf. He always had good posts that I found to be well written and well thought out.
I hope he is still around ME even if it is just in front of a warm fire with his pipe in hand.

Me too.

She was the one who started the "Prisoner of Numenor" rpg, and it was a little sad ... and challenging! .... to finish it without her.

Oh, and Elora. Remember her? She could rp! Falowik especially misses having someone write Uien ....
