Thank you! - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I too have not been very active lately, but this was such a big part of life I am extremely grateful it's back and I'm in such fine company. Who knows, my daughter is getting old enough she may join one day.

Here to add to the list of rarely-active people who are still happy to see the site back up.

Thank you to the Barrow-wight and everybody else who worked on making this happen!

Good to see the Barrow Open again!

Yuppeeee!!!!! All hail the Barrow Wight and the great tech team! Thank you for the Scouring of the Downs!

And I also want to give a big thanks to the dear Downers who kept me informed of the goings on while I was stranded, having no facebook. Without you I would have been very lonely and morose, and completely lost about the updates. So thank you for taking the time to bring me up to date with the news and to just chat about this and that. You are great!

Same here! Well, not so much to find out what's up, but to be able to keep in touch with all the wonderful people I met on the Downs.

Hah! Ditto! Almost every day a thought would come that I should assign this to Mordor, or post this incredibly funny meme, or just crack a joke about Balrog wings or something... Now all that's required is to remember four months of that nonesense.

Mere words really aren't enough.

Like Inzil I had resigned myself to the fact that the Downs had sailed West never to return. I had even given up checking on it. On a whim I checked again earlier this week and lo and behold the beloved black screen was back again!

This hasn't been the best year for me so far, so this is extra special!

A big thank you to all involved in bringing the Downs back!

Aww you could have done what somebody else did - a Mithadan Nonesuch suddenly appeared in the BD facebook group!

Anyway I should probably tell that when I felt the most desperate, I resorted to googling people by what little I knew of them, in case I could find an email address or any way to contact them about what was going on. Sadly no luck, but I did find an article about shots fired and a cream coloured cadillac.

Did not know how much I missed this place.

Thank you much for reviving this site!
