Applause! Applause! - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Elenna · 09-23-2002, 01:03 PM

This thread has been set up for the purpose of positive feedback. If somebody posts something particularly brilliant, puts in a lot of work on a particular project, whatever, let everyone know!

Mithadan - Thanks for putting all that work in on the Audience RPG. That must be an insane amount of work.

Rosseiliantiel · 09-23-2002, 03:14 PM

Thanks to the Barrow Wight and all the moderators for keeping this site so oraganized and cool and stuff. There is a reason why we are the #1 site on TolkeinWorld.com! Yes, I know that was overly general, I'll try again:

THanks to Losthuniel for doing a stellar job with the name translating thread, dispite the people who don't read the earlier posts and therefore make things very difficult for her HINT HINT!
[img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] ALMIEN!

Clap clap clap clap clap!!!
To everyone, for joining the downs!!

Bêthberry · 09-23-2002, 05:29 PM

You are so right, Elenna. The concept of Audience with the King is awesome. It is a stunning achievement and really shows the kind of creativity, ingenuity, and community action which distinguishes the Barrow Downs from many Tolkien sites. Mithadan deserves several rounds of applause. And of beer.

Thanks everyone for putting up with my bad grammar and me. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

*Varda* · 09-24-2002, 02:37 PM

Congrats to Mithadan for organising such an amazing RPG!!!! It must have taken a lot of work, and it's barely started! *attempts to round up some of the missing players* Come on!

And applause to Mr. Barrow Wight for starting the site in the first place!

Neferchoirwen · 09-25-2002, 08:46 PM

Thanks to Alk for showing everyone's (well, almost everyone's) faces.

Thanks to Barrow Wight for the great idea of putting up this site!

Alkanoonion · 09-25-2002, 09:30 PM

Thank You
Child of the 7th Age for all your help on the RPG.
Mr B for this site.
All the Moderators for the many hours that you spend working on the Downs.
All the people who sent me pictures for my members pic web site.
All the members that help make the Barrow Downs (in my own opinion) the best Tolkien site on the Web.

Talking Hawk · 09-25-2002, 09:46 PM

Er...I guess the best place to say this is here. =) (By the way, thanks for starting the thread..)

Thank you to the Barrow-wight and all of the fanfic proofreaders. You guys work so hard, and take time out of your own busy lives to entertain we visitors. Enough credit and gratitude hasn't been given to all of you. Besides, I personally am so busy with school and stuff that sometimes I only have enough time to race through the list of my stories to check for new reviews, then jump off of the computer. Being an average to slow reader myself (@___@), I can only imagine how much time it takes to get through the heaps upon heaps of stories you guys are sent everyday! Really, Barrow-wight, it must take courage to open your e-mail box everyday (once, I opened up my e-mail and found twelve new ones...I nearly had a heart attack, I can tell you that). But, can't forget, the proofreaders work incredibly hard also! I would like to give a BIG round of applause for every one of you... (claps) Bravo!

burrahobbit · 09-25-2002, 10:09 PM

All pale in comparison to me.

Ithaeliel · 10-02-2002, 07:05 PM

A toast to burrahobbit for his extraordinary humility!

Thank you to all the RPGers for your wonderful RPGs.

To the mods and admins and ops- where would we be without you?

To everyone I have a great time posting with- the preceding is self-explanatory.

VanimaEdhel · 10-03-2002, 05:38 PM

I would like to thank everyone on the Freestyle RPG for putting up with my sometimes annoying characters.

I would like to thank Cimmerian for being nice to me and letting me spill my personal life to him when I needed to.

I would like to thank GW, 5th, Maika, Guo, Cuthalion, Ransom, and all my friends from the RPG's.

I would like to thank all the people on the chat, especially Arrothiel, because, although we have completely opposite religious viewpoints, she doesn't mind my accidental comments in front of her.

I would like to thank His-Wightness for 1: putting up with me on the "An Audience With The King" RPG and for this site.

I would like to thank the mods here and on the chat: you work so hard and keep the place up so well!

Cuthalion: I need to mention you again for treating me like such a lady, even though I'm only 15. You're beautifully-worded private messages make my day, especially when I've had a long day.

And: most of all: J.R.R. Tolkien: if you happen to look down on this message from wherever your soul is, thank you from the bottom of my heart for creating such a wonderful world. Without you, my life would be different, least of all concerning the existence of this site and all my friends from it.
