New Members - Introduce Yourself Here - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

04-19-2007, 12:03 PM

Well, I'm back. That is to say, I have been registered here before (around three years ago), but apparently my account got lost. I've been on and off BD since eh. 2002? 2001? Something like that. I'm -always- on the chat, but practically -never- on the forum. Actively posting at least, I do read it.

So, lo and behold, here I am. I'm known all over the interwebs as Yiriandur, a nowadays 20 year old girl from the Netherlands, although at the moment temporarily studying in Aarhus, Denmark. You can call me Yiri if you wish.

I'll try to be somewhat active here, for a change. For the first time in my life i saved the url to the forum in my favourites, to visit it more regularly. Wish me luck!

Good luck with becoming an active member, Yiri!

And a warm welcome to you and Alcarcalimo and all the ones who I've neglected welcoming! Enjoy your stays here!

Thank you, Thinlómien.

I'm giving it a try, but the forum is so big, it's hard to zoom in on things.

Zoom?

Sorry, a running gag you may come across. Mount Doom with wheels = Mount Zoom.

Hahaha, I haven't heard thatone before! I'm actually enjoying reading up on everything, it's fun.

Sorry for once again interfering with your jokes, I probably do it because this is the humor I like... But how can a gag on wheels be running?

Great Mysterious Cat you have there!

And the same for all the newcomers of late too!

Enjoy your afterlife today! Can one get a better bargain from anywhere else? Being dead but still enjoying good discussions, a fellowship of outstanding and hearty people and a lots of entertainment (RPGs, werewolf-games..)!

Just sit back and relax... and then go for it!

I came I saw, I have yet to conquer, but gahh to be a newbie again, gotta love it. Hey everyone, just figured I'd poke in and say hi before I go and venture into the land of make believe.
If I last a day without a mistake I'll be surprised but thats half the fun right?
I look forward to meeting a few friendly faces, and no doubt a few grumpy ones too. Catch me if you can, I'm off to play

It is half of the fun.

This forum is a residing place of various kinds of mistakes - just thinking of the amount of hilarious typos this forum produces...

Welcome to the Downs, Tiana!

Here, have some lembas.

I am not new, however I am so old that you could repackage me as "good as new". I'm a playful ghoul come back to haunt you.

Aye, it's been years since I've explored these haunts. Little things like life got in the way. My own forum occupies most of my Tolkien talking time, but there is something in the air this summer that awakened old feelings. Not that the air smells good here...it's stale and full of the memories of the rotting stench of the Kings of Arnor of old. But that's how ghouls love it, though ghouls can't smell. And the light is bad, till your eyes adjust... it's so very green and ghostly......

I'm actually curious to see if anyone remembers me; not in an ego way, but just curious, like Smeagol. I remember a few names myself.... Telchar, H-I, and of course the Barrow-Wight himself...

Our paths didn't cross often back then, Beregond, but I do remember the names of members of days gone by - welcome back!
