Why do we have so many members when so few appear?

I remember a certain surge of members and active users when the movies came out...perhaps the fever has worn out for some Bloom lovers and such.

I know what you mean, I'm finally back after a long, long absence. It's a bit weird because the entire site format has changed on me, and most of my friends have left.

That's what new friends are for, eh?

I'm relatively new to the Downs, so it's tons of fun for me. As long as there are other Tolkienites out there I don't think I'll get bored of them.

The time zones can be a problem, especially in the quiz & quotes rooms. A lot of the posts are written about 3 or 4 AM on my time, so questions are often asked and answered while I sleep.
