Slow - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Rune Son of Bjarne · 07-20-2006, 01:19 PM

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.

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.
