"It is the older members who bring maturity and knowledge to Barrow Downs"
Fortunately for us, red still makes her presence felt every so often. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] Witty banter aside, I think it should be pointed out that many of the oldest members (who are still active) are the moderators. I can still see your point however. Although I cannot speak for everyone, I have personally found that there's only so many times one can discuss a particular topic (or topic similar to that particular topic). Many have slowly drifted away due to the sudden influx of new members (which--no offense to anyone--caused the site's intellectual content to deteriorate). New measures have been taken to right this wrong, but it is too late to get those lost members back. I personally feel that although the Downs has established itself as a thriving Tolkien community, it has lost the close-knit, more comfortable ambience it once possessed. As a result, I find myself posting less and less frequently, and slowly fading more and more into the shadows of the Barrow Downs.
