I do admit that I say "post often" in my greeting, but I can see that this does encourage nonsense posting. This is why I left the Downs for a few weeks. There was no "meaty" topics. I want stimulating discussion, not 'what's your favorite' or ---- is so hoooottttt!.' I got tired of seeing this.

Also, I am on another board that gives "malda" gold for posting. This is fun, the purpose is to buy weapons and armor and such for a battle. It is a fun board, but again, a lot of nonsense because people want more gold.

I am a moderator on this board and I am trying to find a way to bring up the level of the board, but it is hard to do. I am very thankful for the Downs. This is the best Tolkien board that I have ever seen.
