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

01-29-2008, 12:16 PM

Everyone here probably doesn't know me, but I know many of you. Let me proceed to explain.

Some years ago I was looking for a Tolkien forum community to join up with. I was already, as I recall, an active editor of the Tolkien Gateway wiki as I am today. I found this forum and, you might say, fell in love with it. But when I wanted to register, something curious happened. I received no email with instructions for completing my registration, and could not re-register because it was the only email I had. I nevertheless could not think, if you can believe it, to join another Tolkien forum, because I liked this one so much and because it was so different. So, for many months, I merely read all the posts. Yes, I read almost all the posts in all forums. This went on for months. I saw the coming of Macalaure and Rikae, and Voldo and so many others. I saw the Barrow-downs newspaper, the infamous "Lord of the Bible" thread, and the introduction of the new smilie on the right.

For you who have been around a while, I came about the time of Elempi's first Wizard Werewolf, and left around the time of Davem's banishment. Life on the forum was slowing down then, and time constraints were growing. I am only now coming back to the forum and finally re-registering. I can't promise a lot of activity, but at least now I can post. Some of you may recall seeing a name down at the bottom where it says "Users present" or something like that: Narfil Palurfalas. That was me.

Welcome Narcolindo, enjoy your death! I'm glad you're no longer trapped in limbo.

Your stomach must be made of stern stuff.

It wasn't so bad back then.
