			Congrats Durelin! And congrats Di & Heren too! And Rune... It's so easy not to note these as one just goes to log in immediately without looking at the end of the front page... I've just passed my half a year point, so that might be understandable - or then not.   But really. You all are those people why this site is worth coming into time after time again. Take all the credit from me at least!

			I know it's a slight bit of self-promotion.. but today I celebrate my first death day! 
		
		
		
		
		
		
			Three hundred and sixty five nights is not enough time to haunt with such wonderful wraiths and ghosts. I don't know half of you half as well as I would like, and I like half of you half as well as you deserve. Did I quote that one right? I hope not, if I did it'd mean that I've read LoTR once too many. But then, this is one of the few places that's not only acceptable, but expected. Still, I must say that I just love this community and the great people from all different backgrounds that participate here. I've been in several Internet forums and each has its own dynamics, but I've found none where everyone is as friendly and polite as the 'downs.

			Yeesh! Firefoot - 6,600 posts in three years!? I'll be wishing you a very happy deathday just as soon as I pick my jaw up from the floor.   
		
		
		
		
		
		
			     And Zali of course! Happy deathday to you as well.   5 years eh, one of the old guard.

			It is amazing how long have people been around in this site... I am by far not an expert, but in most boards I've seen there is a huge turnover of members, save a few "old timers". Here there are lots of people coming, but it seems that no-one goes away. 
		
		
		
		
		
		
			Perhaps we've all been affected by the barrow curse and now are forced to haunt this lands for-ever, albeit subconsciously so. Regardless, happy deathday to Zali and Firefoot!!!
