Been a while it seems Yes, I had forgotten my password, and never really bothered to retreive it, since I didnt feel the need to make any new posts... Ah... memories still interesting to browse the forums now and then... ohh, there's that feeling of nostalgia again...

Silmaril je revien!

Hello, everybody. I used to frequent this site like I was being paid to, but alas, it has been 4 long years since I've posted regularly. I'm afraid to say that I haven't kept up; I'd probably have to re-read both the Lord of the Rings and the Silmarillion in order to properly participate in discussions here again. I just wanted to say hello to all the members who've been around since 2002 or earlier (I recognize many of you!) as well as "Hi! I'm Jessica! Nice to meet you!" to the ones I haven't met. It has been too long, and I've missed you all, this site, being on fire for Tolkien, everything! I hope everyone's been well, and I'll continue to lurk obscurely until I perhaps find a post that my rusty brain can handle

I really miss Holbytlass I haven't seen or heard from her in at least a month. So if you're out there Holby we miss you very much and hope all is well.

I miss her too but I know she is in the throes of moving house so that may have affected her internet connection. And the woman has four children!!! It is amazing she manages anything for herself at all..

So I'm not completely nuts. I thought we were missing our dearly beloved Birthday wisher. No wonder I've missed a ton of birthdays!!

Does anybody know what happened to Finwe? And did Perky Ent leave or get banned? It was a surprise not to see his name on the Member's List... I remember him from the Quiz Room.

Looking back over this thread makes me feel very old-- I joined the 'Downs right after it (the thread) started way back in 2002, under another name. And yet there are members listed here who were gone before I ever set mouse here.

Perky has had RL problems and he hasn't had a working internet connection...

The Perky Ent hasn't been banned and is still on the member list. You just have to look under "T" rather than "P".

Vanima! Amazing. Was there a party to which I wasn't invited at which some of my favorite 'Downers spent copious amounts of time before returning? Because two in one day-span makes me smile.

It must be something in the water. Early yesterday morning, I saw the famed doug*platypus lurking on the site, although he did not post. Just a ghost of a memory floating in....

And Vanima it is good to see you.
