A quick history lesson for those reading this thread. Our forums were hosted on EZboard for a period of time. Because EZboards were free and user friendly, a number of regulars left the Downs to create EZboards of their own. This was the reason this thread was started. At one point there were over 20 Tolkien-themed EZboards, most of which had only about 5 active members. Eventually they fell into disuse and EZboard began a program of pop-up advertising which was very distracting which pretty much ended the "diaspora". Anyway, thank you all for your support. We do our best to make the Downs a good place to congregate.
