Slow - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

You know, watching the Peter Jackson's trilogy on DVD in an air-conditioned room with a cool drink could be a great summertime activity. You then would be able to post in the SbS.

Note that the activity at the Downs is surely seasonal, though I have no real numbers or graphs to back that up. One way to increase activity is to post.

Now, I know that that sounds obvious, but sometimes what you need to do is add to the discussion, and that something that you've written catches another's eye, and then s/he responds, then someone else jumps in...

Like what's going on in this thread.

Alatar, this is true, but I have been posting many topics lately that I thought were worth noting or discussing to little replies...(one has 0 replies!) but I'm sure like most have said it's a seasonal thing. I'm not into RPGing, so I'll be around looking for some activity!

Matthew, summer time has two possibilities as far as posting is concerned: some members have more time during break/vacation and post more frequently; others are away travelling or trying to beat the heat somewhere cool. The latter is the case for many Europeans right now - it's unusually hot here!
