Best Thread of the Month - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Estelyn Telcontar · 09-01-2005, 03:56 AM

A new month has barely started, and already there's a new thread I'd like to nominate - though it started yesterday, still in the old month. Kudos to Bêthberry for providing a place for members to post all their pent-up energy after missing the forum while it was down for a day! Unforbidden is an enjoyable RPG to read, open to all Downers, and it's fun to share others' experiences in that kind of posting. There have been several very cute connections and cross-references, such as "Mormegollum", arcticstorm's "Paths of the Dead" entry, etc. It's interesting to read of the various support systems that were called upon for information and comfort during the bereavement.

A great way to express the sense of community we share here!

Another start of the month nomination: what is it about beginnings that spurs us on to new thought?

Alatar's "Snow Angels" in the Novices and Newcomers forum. Something delightfully whimsical yet full of challenging conundrums and possibilities. Well, it tickled my fancy.

And we had a great run down the home stretch in the final days of last month with a horse who looks like he can go the distance! The Middle-earth anagram thread Arrows 'nd Bows shows it has legs!

A great idea Formendacil--many hours of entertainment for we who love a mixed bag of letters.

I don't know what to say...

I was amazed and most honoured at the all great replies to the thread.

Excellant pick, Bêthberry. I'd be interested in knowing if it's keeping up with Crazy Captions. Relatively speaking I mean.

Congrats, Formendacil.
