A real life journey will be taking me away from home for several weeks. During that time, I will have very little internet access, so I will not be able to moderate as usual. Sharkû will be filling in on the Books, Novices and Newcomers, and Movies fora.
If anyone has any questions, please read the Forum FAQ on the N & N forum, then do a search for the topic. Should a very important question remain unanswered after that, you may contact Sharkû by PM. My PM box will be closed during my absence; I can be reached by e-mail to Estelyn@barrowdowns.com - however, it may take time before I can answer. I will miss you all... well, almost all!

Bon voyage Estelyn, and bonam fortunam to boot. I hope to see you revived, refreshed and generally brimming with joie de vivre on your return, when I may be speaking rather more English than I have here.

Thanks, all of you, for your good wishes. No, this will not be a pleasure journey, but one that will do me good nonetheless, I hope.
I'm still pondering the significance of being called "Baby", a rather unusual occurrence in my life! Unbidden, a line comes to mind: Quote:

Navaer, Estelyn! Have fun, even though it's not a pleasure trip. I always have been fascinated by travelling... you never know what you may find.
Still round the corner we may meet a sudden tree or standing stone that none have seen but we alone...

Hmmm, if this had been posted by anyone else it would have been deleted by now. Hmmm.

Hmmm, if you read the initial post carefully you might have noted some important information that pertains to virtually all members who post on the forum. Hmmm.

The first post is about Downs business. Please have the courtesy to respect that in one of the hardest working mods we have here. Bethberry

Indeed, if this post had been written by a non-moderator it would have been deleted. But since only a moderator would write such a thread, and Estelyn is a great moderator, and she was passing on valuable forum information to everyone, I think someone needs to delete a foot from their mouth.

Well-said. Show Estelyn some respect! She is a great moderator who works very hard and will be missed every day she is not with us on the Downs.
Have a grand time, Esty, and don't forget about us!

Estelyn, wherever you go and whatever you do, remember your friends at the Downs will miss you. Return to us safely and soon.

Anyways, I don't see the point in nagging about why Estelyn has the right while others have not. She has been on the downs for a long time (Was here when I arrived and will be when I leave, wich is not for a very long time) so that just gives you some priveliges. I don't hear anybody nagging when she has deleted a tread while others can't do that. She's a mod and you are not. (hey that rimed) I don't know if this came out clear, but anyway: Estelyn, have a nice trip. I for one will shurely miss you. ________ 500 Last edited by Helkahothion; 03-07-2011 at 02:17 AM. |

Sorry, should have put a smily at the end of that post. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
I think that my post was missinterpreted. I did not mean to say anything bad about Estelyn. I know that she is a great mod. Look at how long I've been here. I remember when Estelyn was made to be a mod! But, as Mr BW has agreed, my statement was true. I do not think that I have anything to unsay. I'm sorry if I have offended anyone, I honestly didn't mean too. Have a good trip Estelyn! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

You can go,
But be back soon You can go, But while you're working. This place, I'm pacing round... Until you're home, ...Safe and sound Fare thee well, But be back soon Who can tell Where danger's lurking? Do not forget this tune Be back soon. *collects odd looks, shrugs and blushes* What? It´s from a Broadway Musical..... Anyways, Bon Voyage, Estelyn! Have a great trip with lots and lots new impressions (and good food&weather [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]) We´ll miss you!

Adios, au revoir, aloha, ciao, Дo свидания, and good-bye, Estelyn! I hope you have an enjoyable, safe journey! We'll be waiting when you come back *not to sound too ominous*. Our thoughts will be with you always *geeze: this is starting to sound like a stalker's message of sorts*! Bye!
EDIT: I say good-bye in 6 languages, yet I mess up the word "an" on the first go-around, typing "en" instead...*facepalms* [ April 24, 2003: Message edited by: VanimaEdhel ]

I'm back, as promised, and can now be contacted by PM; e-mails to Estelyn@barrowdowns.com are a possibility as well. I'm looking forward to catching up on as much forum reading as I can handle. Special thanks go to co-moderator Legolas; looks like he's done a great job!

Yay!! Esty's back! Did you have a nice journey? Legolas was a real putz; closing threads left and right. You would have approved.
Can we start another silly RPG now? I could really use some silly about now. |
