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've missed the old bunch too, you not the least Durelen. Nice to see you again.

Hya, Inziladun, Good Policeman, and Durelen, the Black Star. Nice to see you around. And yes, I have noticed you here and there occasionally [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

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.

I've noticed the same thing about Aosama, The Wandering Star.

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.

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.

I haven't seen GreatWarg for a while....

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.

Aosama has actually left.

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. http://www.handykult.de/plaudersmilies.de/anger.gif 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.

Mith, [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

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...

What happened to zifnab?

zifnab was in chat on Tuesday, Maril, and said he might be around more often now.

Speaking of fanfic, *coughs* any chance of any RPGs? New proposal process, at a takeout window, so to speak, for faster service. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

[img]smilies/eek.gif[/img] What?! After what happened with AAwtK???! How much will I be paid?

[img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] Maril

You never see anyone Who is a member under 100, in the Quiz Room.

But I'd like to see Alatar_69 a bit more on the forum. (I try and encourage him but......)

I miss amyrlis, I haven´t seen her for a long time, I always enjoyed her posts.

*waves hand frantically in the air* Ooh, me, me! I hereby anyone who wants to join a role play, or actually even if you dont, the Kidnapped Role play is looking a little bare...go on, have a look at least!?

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

Blah!
(Those who know will understand.)

Maril,

Probably about as much as the rest of us: 2 cents. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Will someone who "knows" tell us what Bruce MacCulloch said?

I really miss Cuthalion.

Guess all good things must come to an end... [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img]

Trust me, Maika; he'll be back. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Bethberry

He better be...he's got a loose proposal out there. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

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]

Samwise is not gone, I see her in the Quotable Quotes forum every now and then. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

[ January 01, 2003: Message edited by: Eärendil ]

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

Aw...thank you. I appreciate it. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
As for Rosa, I'm afraid I haven't "seen" her in quite some time, either. [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img]

[img]smilies/eek.gif[/img] Samwise!!!! You're BACK!!!! [img]smilies/eek.gif[/img] *hugs*

Elenna's gone too.

Elenna and Shadow_staar both.

Arcanjo; I didnt see many of his posts, but he started what was to be an amazing RPG.

Ainabeleth of Lorin; didnt see many of her posts either, but she started another RPG Im in. Which isnt quite so amazing as yet, but its working, its working....Itll be amazing yet.
