[Roa_Aoife]

I found the forum twice, actually.

I remember a friend telling me about a site that named the top five Tolkien-related websites, and the Downs was listed on it. I was just looking for information in general at the time, and I played with the name generator. I was also drawn to the fanfiction. (The fact that there's a genre heading entitled "Legolas" still scares me...)

I wasn't big into forums (I'm still not) but eventually curiosity and boredom got the better of me and I clicked the link to check it out. One thing led to another, and soon I was involved in the Books forum, then I RP'd for a little while. Sadly, I had to leave after only a short time to deal with RL issues.

I found it the second time some about a year later when someone suggested I Google my name for fun. Turns out I don't actually exist. So, I Googled Roa_Aoife, which is the screenname I use everywhere. I found a link to the Memorial of Members thread, and I found out people actually missed me here. So I decided to make everyone's life more joyous and return.
