New Members - Introduce Yourself Here - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

10-16-2006, 08:19 PM

Hey Sardy, I never thought I'd meet a really famous person in just my second day of being dead!! That's so cool. Had a look at your site. I'm pretty sure we get The Real Deal here in New Zealand. I must confess, I don't watch a lot of television though. In RL I work 12 hour shifts, 6pm to 6am the next morning, so I don't really have time to watch television. I suppose I could videotape something, but I'm just too lazy to

Gil - Your selection of smilies here is a little limited to my liking. Can you tell me what your policy is on hotlinking, and in particular to sites that allow and encourage being hotlinked from (I wouldn't do it without proper permission from the source site).

Well, Real Deal isn't in production yet, the pilot script was just awarded 1st Place for Best Original Pilot in Scriptapalooza TV 2006, so I highly doubt it's on the air in New Zealand...

But you may be able to catch my show "Dead Tenants" which is currently airing internationally on TLC/Discovery Networks...

Sardy - Oh, I must have gotten the name wrong

As I say, I don't watch much TV anyway. Too busy wandering around chat rooms talking to strangers about the Lord of the Rings I guess.
Gil - Was it just me, or was the Barrow Downs server down today? It kept coming up with a DNS error every time I tried to log on, yet I could navigate to other sites on the Internet quite fine.

Gil - Sorry for double-posting (I don't know if that is considered rude here or not). I was just wondering how one would go about reporting abuse or spammers here? I've noticed some recent posts by a particular member here who is using what I would consider inappropriate language in an abusive tone. I know that on the other LOTR forum that I post on, this type of behaviour would be shut down immediately, and most likely the member would have his/her account suspended forthwith.

I haven't posted anywhere outside of this thread yet as I'm still trying to learn how to navigate your menu system.

Don't worry Thor the admins will see his posts and get rid of them as well as get rid of him. It's a shame that someone has to be like that in a wonderful place such as this

Admins catch everything usually, but yes the trianlge alerts them as well and yes i beleive the Barrowdowns were down yesterday as for i could not ascess the site as well.

and with exploreing the site, choose which you feel like reading, if your interested in discussing Books, check out the Books Portion, if you want to read and anwser basic questions, check the newcomers portion, if you like to play a game check the quiz room and quotable quotes. if you enjoy the fun stuff of Tolkien, check out the Mirth forum. the rest is basically RPG forum and the Admin Thread.
