A Memorial of Members - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Bêthberry · 08-21-2006, 07:53 PM

Birdland, aka Birdie, aka, just about any good animal voice possible in the rpgs back in the day. Wonderful sense of humour too, generous and kind spirited.

***Mister Underhill*** · 08-21-2006, 09:05 PM

Hard to believe, but the board software says that Birdie hasn't even lurked since 8/28/05 -- almost exactly a year ago. Alas, Birdie. There's a slew of members I associate with that era who aren't around anymore: Maril, Nar, Belin, Kalessin...

Feanor of the Peredhil · 08-22-2006, 07:30 AM

I miss Everdawn.

And Iarwain.

Glirdan · 08-22-2006, 10:58 AM

I've been wondering, where has Enca gotten to?? And Saucy. He seems to have disappeared for a bit.

Brinniel · 08-22-2006, 12:09 PM

Members I dearly miss: Amanaduial, dragoneyes, Ithaeliel, Mattius, Vanima, and Auriel. I RPGed with all of them at least one time and miss writing with them.

Also, what has ever happened to Beren87, Raefindel, Arien, Alkanoonion, GaladrieloftheOlden, Gorwingel, and LePetitChoux? I have not seen any of them since I came back in June.

Finally, most wouldn't remember her, but Nevfeniel was always a friendly member of the Downs- I believe she was one of the first to welcome me when I first joined. She hasn't been around for at least three years. It was always a pity to see her disappear...

I noticed Ainaserkewen has gone missing. She was one of the first to welcome me and we talked frequently and I miss takling to her.

Oh my gosh... somebody remembered me!
I have to admit, it's been about three years since the last time I checked in.
What have I been up to since I joined this forum six years ago? Well, I've been busy finishing college (Bachelor in History), working for a mouse that wears little red pants, and just simply growing up and finding myself.
I still dearly love LOTR. Though at this moment my knowledge is quite rusty, so I plan to keep far away from the book forum at this time.

Though I'm really excited about the upcoming Hobbit movie!

Brinniel · 06-03-2008, 12:43 AM

Gorwingel! It's good to see you around again...I hope you're here stay for awhile at least.

Wow! I've been missed! That's cool! But that post is 2 years old so I imagine no one even remembers me now. I have missed all my old friends here at the BD but life marches on.

I've been through many changes in the last few years. I spent a few years caring for my grandparents, Granny died in '04 and Grandpa just this September.

I now own the home I continually wearied your ears (or eyes, I suppose) telling you I so longed for (renting's the pits!).

After 14 years as a stay-at-home mom I went back to work a year ago. I work at an elementary school and love it.

My oldest graduated high school and is going to college-that thought took a lot of getting used to.

How are all of you? Mark12:30 (Helen) and I have remained close friends despite the miles and the years I've been away form the Downs. We see each other every few years ,no thanks to me. As many times and she has traveled to see me in Lothlorien, I have never been to Hobbiton to see her.

Estelyn Telcontar · 12-16-2008, 04:56 AM

Rae, you have not been forgotten. Once a king or queen in Narnia - oops, wrong fandom!

This is a forum with a long memory, and absentee members are always enthusiastically welcomed back.

Encai's lurked, but she's been busy and hasn't really posted. Saucie needs to clear his inbox.

Hookbill the Goomba · 08-24-2006, 03:07 PM

Does anyone know what has happened to the phantom?
I've been waiting ages to see his reaction to my comic strip in The Downer; "The Phantom and Alien".

Maybe Alien ate him!

Rune Son of Bjarne · 08-24-2006, 03:19 PM

From what I understand he is just very busy and pretty much only post in RPG's when needed to.

Aye. The raven is flown, the dophin swam away, and the Downs is the poorer for it.

Maikadilwen · 09-12-2006, 06:01 AM

I miss Tirned Tinnu. She hasn't been on at all since the forum was moved. A most kind and intelligent woman, I must say. And I clearly remember our PM-discussion about the yummy-ness of Ciaran Hinds...

Thinlómien · 09-13-2006, 03:55 AM

Our dear spawn has been quit inactive lately. When she's online she's always only PMing.

I must say, I quite miss her.
