It's summer for most of you but for us here in this little archipelago we're already a month into the school year. Not that it matters.
It really depends on the subforum. Mirth and the RPGs are particularly active now, from my perspective. ![]() |

For me, there hasn't seemed to be that much to post on lately. Maybe someone needs to start an argument. Or maybe I'm just not noticing the possibilities for ranting and raving.
![]() Anyway, I'm horribly busy at work and don't get the time to post like I used to, and this is coupled with coming home and it being boiling hot so not really always wanting to sit on the computer (or rather crouch over it on a coffee table, thus getting a bad back), coupled with the need to spend time attending to my garden, and a humungous pile of reading matter to be got through, and just being plain fatigued all the time right now with the heat and the brain frying work I'm doing all day that is far too complex for someone with no short term memory and a very poor concentration span! Plus my head is full of mad stories right now... You get the picture. But as soon as I find that really juicy ruckus I'll be wading right in. ![]()

Definitely slow. Perhaps what we need is another CbC thread - or even a 'Canonicity'
![]() Personally, I'm blank at the moment as far as thread ideas go. Of course, we've all read too much, haven't we? We can now answer any question about Tolkien's work & intentions straight off - someone will quote from the Letters, or HoM-e. Don't you sometimes wish we could go back to when we just had LotR & TH & we could speculate on all kinds of possibilities & offer our own theories? Of course, I recently started a thread on that ... |

I noticed the slowness as well.
I figured people were busy else where, or like me: Having some Ideas for threads, but to lazy to do anything about it. |

I've been busy on the RPG forums, so it's not been slow for me.
![]() I have not noticed the other threads, I'm afraid. I've been posting in a few other random places today, though. -- Folwren P.S. DO Balrogs have wings?

Listen to Valier- she speaks with wisdom.
There is the somewhat rare occassion where everyone really just has something else to atend to. Or people may be running out of things to say. For example, I've considered getting into some of the Books discussion recently, but by the time I see one that interests me, my opinion's been stated six times over. So then I really just have say, "What would be the point?" and move on.

I actually have a couple of nice discussion topics just waiting to get written up, but not the time to do so properly. Sometimes real life priorities take precedence. I hope to start at least one thread next week...
I hope those of you who are complaining will join the discussion!! ![]()

Oh well maybe I will get my not inconsiderable butt into gear and launch my topics.... but I really must catch up on the backlog - I have been flat out on the downs and still am behind (apologies to all those who are waiting ) .... and so much of my non-work RL has been been neglected .....
But do consider a RPG if you are bored. I didn't think it was my thing when I joined and I have learnt so much - not only creative writing skills but in researching aspects of ME history.
