A Memorial of Members - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I was going to say that I enjoyed reading HI's blog but I feel that 'enjoy' isn't really the right word. Impressed, certainly - he is a very brave and resourceful man.
I have encouraged other people I know to read it too.
I hope that the power-addicts will grow tired of playing their ugly political games, and that there will be a peaceful resolution for HI, his family and everyone else in that part of the world.

A few months late in my reply sorry.

I hope we get an update confirming they are safe. We are lucky that he has the resources and contacts to have the possibility to get his family to relative safety but I am not hopeful of a peaceful resolution. It is a very complicated situation. I fear it may get a lot worse.

Oh my goodness, what a strange feeling it is to be back here after so long an absense. Maybe no one remembers me, I was never a very large presence on the Downs, but it was a pretty big part of my life for a time.

Visiting again reminds me of a lot of great people who I had the pleasure of RPing with, most notably maikafanawen and Arvedui III and so many others I can no longer remember the names of.

Nice to see a lot of familiar faces..er, screen names, are still frequenting the Downs.

I hope you are all doing well, and that these last few years have been good to you all.

Can you believe I was 13 when I first joined? Now I am 19

...oh how time flies...

I remember you, Carlas! Had the pleasure of RPing with you in a couple RPGs, at least! (I was only 13 when I joined, too! This is as a note in case anyone goes back and looks at those RPGs...

)

Welcome back!

Unfortunately maikafanawen and Arvedui III haven't been around in quite a long time, either...

I have it on good authority that Arvedui III just reregistered tonight on the forum because of a forgotten #$*7(@ password and is now using the handle Ilya. RPing was such a huge part of my life until high school ate it. Good to see some of the same faces are still around, or at least have felt the urge to peek back in.
