-Are you allowed to complain? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I think you will have to ask an admin nicely to delete teh duplicate - I think thread starters used to be able to delete them but not now - I tried to delete a thread of my own which noone replied to.

I don't think you can complain just because you haven't any replies! It is always a little disappointing but your thread if it is the one concerning "Bewitched" is a rather specific one. There aren't so many downers who were around in the sixties and I am one of the older ones and I have only seen the odd repeat of this show and not enough to comment. If you want a lot of replies try a more general subject maybe.

Also maybe try to contribute to other threads and raise your profile. I can't speak for others but I tend to make more effort to check out threads by people who I have notices have interesting things to say. It is quiet on the forums but don't give up!

Okay... I'm sorry for the assumption but I actually have DVDs of the series- bought by my parents (I'm sixteen...rather than just seeing repeats) so I assumed that other people would also have DVDs... I guess I'll leave it then. Maybe "Does anyone want to compare other shows they've watched/stories they've read to Beren and Luthien?" would be a better idea)

morwen, don't be discouraged. I can remember posting a thread that got no replies for a very long time. Summer months can be a slow time of year for the forum. It may take a bit of patience to wait for members to join in and discuss your topic.

I'll take care of the dupicate thread for you - no problem.
