To Administrarion - Proposal - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

And just imagine the endless sprawl of 'balrogia'.

I am rather sure the Admins have pondered Books divisions before [ especially since the created briefly Books 2] and I think wisely decided that further subdivisions would just impede dialog.

I have several times considered suggesting a " best Threads of the Downs" for particularly long running or extrememly interesting threads. and for recurring themes [Bombadil, Balrogs etc,] but the downside to this was I felt that some folks coud be inspired to keep posting on a thread pointlessly to get it in the hall of Fame.

Not that there are many BDers like that [ at least not in the few forums I haunt] but it could be tempting.

anyway those are my 2 crumbs of lembas.

oh and i have it from a little bird that whispered in my ear that these things we mention here do get discussed in the fearful barrow of Tyrn Gorthad [ lindil shudders thinking of the dry discussions and fearful decisions and ghosts of members past that must inhabit such a fearful barrow] but we prob won't here about it.

cheers
