Congratulations HI and Diamond, especially to HI though. Six years is quite an impressive figure! Let's hope we have both of you around for many more years yet.

Hurray for those that managed to stay alive and defy the temptation to join the dead.
Well, congrats my new friends! May our afterlife ever go on. |

Happy deathday Form! And I know what you mean, turns out I've been here three years as of 5 days ago, but did I notice?

Hey congrats Durelin! I didn't realise you were an old-timer.

Oh my!
Congrats Durelin! And congrats Di & Heren too! And Rune... It's so easy not to note these as one just goes to log in immediately without looking at the end of the front page... I've just passed my half a year point, so that might be understandable - or then not. But really. You all are those people why this site is worth coming into time after time again. Take all the credit from me at least!

I know it's a slight bit of self-promotion.. but today I celebrate my first death day!
Three hundred and sixty five nights is not enough time to haunt with such wonderful wraiths and ghosts. I don't know half of you half as well as I would like, and I like half of you half as well as you deserve. Did I quote that one right? I hope not, if I did it'd mean that I've read LoTR once too many. But then, this is one of the few places that's not only acceptable, but expected. Still, I must say that I just love this community and the great people from all different backgrounds that participate here. I've been in several Internet forums and each has its own dynamics, but I've found none where everyone is as friendly and polite as the 'downs.

Hmmm... I seem to have missed my fifth deathday by a month. I was under the impression that I died in October, but what the heck. Anyway, happy fifth to me!

I cannot believe it, but today is my Deathday. At my timezone, there is almost midnight, so the day is almost gone... but it must have been sometime in the last ten or so hours when it was precisely one year. It feels... strange. Not that it would seem too long, or too short for me to be around here... it's just... I don't know, somewhat magic. One year at the Downs. Something unspeakable. A year ago, I had no idea that I'm going to be here still at this time, I had no idea what all can be found in this place... not an idea who are the people around... A blank page waiting to be filled. And what am I going to say the next year? Am I going to be here also? I hope I will... the Downs, and also you Downers, have become important to me.

Happy Deathday Legate. May Deadly Returns*!
*That is, returns of terrible gifts to their respective stores. I mean, what are you going to do with a million inch TV set that is also a full en suite bathroom, BBQ and mini bar anyway?
