Hurray, the Barrowdowns are back! I am very glad and grateful to the Barrow-Wight and Thenamir. Anar Kaluva Tielyanna!

Glad to see it back to its normal self around here!

I was once Dinenziliel about 10-12 years ago here. For some reason, something happened and I was unable to return to my barrow. Having traveled to several other sites to find a substitute, I discovered that there is no place like "home." This was the first forum I ever joined, and it was the best. I tried off and on over the past few years to return and today, I succeeded! Had to get a new email account and name, and it took about 45 minutes, but it's worth it! I am so glad to see Barrow Wight is still here! How wonderful to know that this has been saved--and thanks for Thenamir as well!

There is no better place to find genuine affection and insightful discussion for Middle Earth than BD. Along with others who have posted their heartfelt gratitude, I also have many fond memories and treasure what BD gave me in the past. I am anxious to get back to my little burrow and enjoy it all anew!

I shall now go shopping for an avatar! What joy!

Does anyone else keep getting notices that "resource limit is reached" every other time you open the Downs or a link on the Downs? Downsing is becoming rather difficult for me because I have to restart my computer for nearly every different thread I want to open.

I've noticed an increased number of visitors the last couple of days, as in hundreds. Maybe that's a coincidence though, since historically there have been even more than that online at various times, with no apparent issues.

I guess it's my bad connection kicking in too.

I've seen it too--USUALLY trying again (or clicking on an alternative link--like "most recent post" instead of "newest unread post") seems to work, though it didn't one time (this morning I think). It's not as bad as the last round of errors, but it definitely is a forum issue not a single user's computer.
