*stares in open-mouthed awe* It's so old...
It's from the last century!

The last millennium, in fact. But then again, so are all of us (I think - any four year olds on the forum?)

HerenIstarion, I must say you always somehow dig up the best instances of "old fossils." Good job finding the first post in the first thread in the entire discussion forum! What a gem!

Goodness, I wasn't even around until two years later (almost exactly!) and I feel as though I've been here forever. BW must feel ancient, being here twice as long!

What about me? I haven't even been here 6 months. Now, not a day goes by without logging in. This is probably the most addictive web page there is.

Hmmm... Whar was I doing four years ago? *wonders*

Interesting. I'm going to assume that the first post was made after the Downs moved from EZBoard? A while back, someone surfaced with a link to the old, EZBoard forum. It was very neat; I should try to find it again and link it here. It was great seeing how different it was, yet creepy at the same time to see the Downs so deserted.

[EDIT] Aha! Found it! Ancient Barrow-Downs!

Eep... that's scary... seeing the Downs like that... I mean, come on... the LOGO doesn't even glow yet... and... it's... well... EMPTY! Just like in Tolkien's world...

At least the moderator names are familiar.

Hmmm... where was I four years ago... Oh, I REMEMBER! I was watching the Phantom Menace! The one think I can recall from four years ago, is watching Star Wars for the first time. I'd never heard of the Hobbit, let alone Lord of the Rings... for crying out loud, I was only ten back then... I'm scared now!

I suppose EZboards, and Proboards are where good boards begin then, I still find it hard to believe that the Barrow-downs began as an EZboard! And look at them now!

So that's how The Downs originally looked like.

Suddenly I've remembered the forum in UBB. Sigh...memories...

I should have joined the forum the first time I've heard about The Barrow-Downs... more than three years ago.
