Most Embarassing BD moment - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

*Tentatively approaches thread*

It's Ithilien by the way. And hey, it's an easy mistake. I kept calling Imladris Ilmadris, before I made up the helpful phrase "nothing goes Ill in Imladris."

And, not really a BD moment, but I guess it's quite embarassing that I only just realised that Ithilien would probably translate as "Moon-land" or some such thing. I do love how things like this suddenly jump out at you, even after years of Tolkien obsession.

Just found a particularly bad one.

I once started a thread asking what Maia were. My next post on the thread was: "Balrogs were Maia?" It was in The Books section.

I just posted an RPG post with a signature... wait for it... twice. Despite having read the Rules about twice. Thankfully nobody seemed to notice.

And for heaps of fun, just find "all threads started by user" for anybody and go to the earliest ones. I have some that are particularly cringeworthy and poorly written.
