I don't like elves that much either, but maybe we should abandon this thread, because it has no point!

Hmmm... I think "The Golden Age of Barrow-Downs" had a lot more posters who were mostly attracted to this site through the movies, and thus a lot more activity, but as for quality? The current Barrow-Downs is better. Leastways, that's my impression after coming back to Barrow-Downs after four years of 'life'.
