Well, when I came back home after school today, I logged onto the 'Downs and started "Downsing". And then I thought to myself "What is everyone else logged onto the 'Downs doing now?" And then "What do people generally do when on the 'Downs?" So I decided to make this thread.
Basically, the idea is:

-Where do you "Downs" (e.g. Home, school, workplace, nearest place with internet)?

-What sort of time do you "Downs" (morning, after work/school, evening, middle of the night)?

-Do you do anything else while "Downsing" (e.g. listen to music)?

-Any other relevant info.

- Where do I "Downs"? I usually have a look at the top three forums to see if anything new has been posted, then come down here to the bottom and check birthdays. Occasionally I browse through old threads and necro-post like I'm doing now.

- What sort of time do I "Downs"? No specific time really. It is, as it always has been for me, rather random whenever I browse through my list of (increasingly shrinking list of working) Tolkien/Middle-earth favourites folder urls. Sometimes, like today, I hang around and dumpster-dive for stuff I may have missed while I was out 'rangering' in those gaps over the last 25 years where I didn't visit. It's why I only have 650 posts in all that time.

These days I usually spend my online time on RP Repository writing up character profiles and Middle Earth fanfics. Would roleplay there but Middle Earth RP is so passé.

- Do I do anything else while "Downsing"? I usually have another tab open where I'm writing collaborative stories with my wife Elora, and I sometimes play a youtube playlist for writing mood.

With the amount of activity here, it takes about two minutes, or five minutes if the 508 is acting up, to check anything newly posted.
