I miss Tirned Tinnu (haven´t seen her around for a while). I always liked her fantastic, insightful and interesting posts.

So many new folk and old folk that an old hobbit's head fairly swims!
(Prayers much appreciated, reciprocated, and proven efficacious!) I am up and about now, and a somewhat thinner hobbit than when my adventures with the surgeons commenced. I'm of half a mind (some would say that is my usual state) to take a picture of their orcish healing procedures. Tomorrow I return so that they may remove the hideous Frankensteinian staples from my belly! My long-suffering soulmate, the Mrs. Gilthalion, promises unguents and remedies that will eventually remove much of the scarification. Her tender ministrations of ointments should thus remove the worst of a long scar that is now stapled from above my navel to near my nethers! Internally, all is well enough. I have little enough of my hobbit-like appetite however, and may never regain the extensive waistcoat I've lost in the course of this adventure. I thank you all for kindly remembering me, though it has been long since I could participate in the RPG forums (which I am delighted to have had some role in starting), and longer since I could participate in the other forums. My last article for the website was "Saruman" and I've really not done anything of a creative nature since then. (Except in small theatrical writings and performances for my Lord, for which my new thinness and long hair leaves me better suited.) I have immensely enjoyed the Extended DVD and hope that the rest of you have as well. After the first of the year I will be seeking new employment, and cannot answer for my time. Until then, I will try to pop in here and there and nose about a bit.

Gil! So glad to hear that you are doing better. This is the first I've heard of your ills, and shocked I was to hear of their severity. However, you have been in my thoughts often and I continue to pray for you and yours. Mosey on over to Rohan and see what has become of the quality RP you started for us so long ago. Glad to have you back!

I am going to miss Cimmerian too.
Though I have never taken part in any of the threads and rpgs here, I always enjoyed reading them. I found the rpgs featuring Cimmerian, Amanaduial, Elenna, Nevtalathiel and all else who played with them, the most interesting reading. They were always so full of life and adventure. This is my first, and sadly, last post. Farewell. |

Well! After all my Extremist rantings about the movie and an absence I haven't had a mention! I must visit more often and stir things up. Then again, I have peeped in from time to time the last several months and maybe I was observed....and therefore a memorial would be unwarranted. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

I missed you Inziladun. It is just the fact that I am rarely here to contribute to threads myself, and I miss all the other old EZ boarders, even the ones that still visit the chat or the forum every once in a while. Of the people that I know haven't been back for some time: enep, the lorien wanderer, saulotus, mac, and zif.

I haven't noticed Robin headstrong around lately (well not compared to some of the people here) she's not posted anywhere for a montth or so as far as I can tell.

Well, I haven't been here that long (just about three months) so there aren't that many people I've detected missing. But I do kind of miss merlilot...just 'cause she was a fellow Pippin fan and I always perk up when I encounter those. Then there was Kithrèna Greenarrow Legolas
...she was very exuberent. I wonder where she went. And then there's Arwen1858, she was here for a very little time, but posted a lot and seemed really nice, and then BAM she was gone again. [ December 14, 2002: Message edited by: Diamond18 ]

yes, I noticed that Katrina Greenarrow Legolas had gone missing, her posts in middle-earth mayhem were quite good (that's quite a compliment from me) it takes a heck of a lot to make me laugh unless I'm tired and I think she succeeded once.
EDIT: Arrghhh! Stop changing your post! Sorry, I'll go away now. [ December 14, 2002: Message edited by: dragoneyes ]

Oh yes, Tirned...quite a deep thinker right there. I think she's on another one of her Viking camps again. Hope she comes back with mead.

Does anyone know why Aosama left? Please don't tell me she was part of the whole "the new rules suck" exodus; I had enjoyed her presence here.

I think she left a little before that. I think it was more of a time issue and just a tiring of the downs. Ill ask Cimmerian if you want; he speaks to her still.

I have news on the whereabouts of NN10. He has joined the Bywater Forum. I didn't tell him to do it. Please don't kill me...*hides in a corner*
PS I may have joined the Bywater Forum when it was ABD, but I really don't have beef with BD, or it's mods. |

Wow, I've been gone for a while, myself. Life is hectic, no?
I miss Gimli Son of Gloin alot. He was so nice and cheerful. Is he gone for good? [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img] Oh, good, Tigerlily! You're still here! I hadn't seen you for a while. Maybe cause I didn't look in the right places. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] I also miss Dwalin and Diamond18. I haven't seen Rose Cotton in a while, too. =(

I saw Rose about a week ago here. Diamond posted in this thread about a week ago. At least a half dozen of our "missing" members have reappeared recntly. Everyone's coming out of the woodwork and returning to the Downs!

Yes, I'm still here! I have been holed up in the movies section since Wednesday, though, trying to get all my opinions in before everything's been said, y'know. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] Rose Cotton is in there too. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Welcome back, DarkRose! Nice to see you again.
Yes, I am still here [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] Glad to be here. It's funny because I didn't think anyone would suspect me to be gone... I have seen miss Rose Cotton around some. I know that she is attending the Toronto convention, "The Gathering of the Fellowship", with me next December [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] It'll be nice to finally meet another Barrow-Downer.

I reckon even more of them will return when the 2nd movie comes out, and we'll be in for an influx of newbies

Ah, great! It's wonderful to see that I was mistaken about some people vanishing. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
I haven't been in The Movies forum at all, as of late. I am not seeing TTT until Sunday, so I don't want to read anything that might take away some of the splendor of seeing the movie for my first time. It's so difficult to stay away, but I have to, ehe.

I guess we're like ghosts at the funeral, wondering if we're mourned, heh. I finally finished that fanfiction, but my Beta reader is struggling with the size. Now I have these people beating their drums for a sequel. How large did yours turn out to be, I wonder? I suddenly have great respect for voluminous writers. I personally find it difficult to read or write LotR fanfiction, unless it is parodies or far OOC. Serious Tolkien fanfiction makes me sad, reminds me that Tolkien will write no more...

Hey Elenna, it's so sweet that you thought of me! I'm not gone, just had a very busy term (Second year uni students are always busy).
I did miss you, too [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] I'll try to post more often xx

I was just thinking about starting a topic just like this one! i'm so glad I happened on Eruwne's first!
I miss Rosa Underhill and Samwise most of all! They always made me feel so welcome when I was new (just before the mad rush). I left for a time, but now I'm back, and I'm really sorry that they're gone too! I hope they'll come back, just as I did. I know there are MANY more I'm forgetting, but I just can't think of their names! But whoever you all are- I miss you too! COME BACK! [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img]

Whatever happened to Knight of Gondor? I haven't seen him around since about a week before the movie came out.
