Where is everyone from?? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Brinniel · 01-09-2009, 04:07 PM

Oh, that list really needs some updating. Active members added, non-active members removed. And worst of all, I'm not even on the list (when I asked Aman to change my location, she removed me from one spot, but didn't add me back).

I actually once did work on revising the list when I was bored; I even added members who never mentioned their location in this particular thread, but elsewhere on the site. I never actually posted it, partly because I worried that some members would be upset that I removed non-active members. But most of them aren't coming back...and if they do, they could always be added back.

But if you guys like or wouldn't mind, I could work on revising the list again. It's time consuming, but I've been bored and need something to waste my time on...

I should add where I'm from, which is outside of San Fransisco, CA but am going to college in New York.

No need to worry, I've put you* on.

And how do you decide what counts as non-active?

*you plural, btw. Why don't we still use the word "ye" to make matters simpler?

I'd say a safe bet for non-active is that their last recorded visit was more than two years ago.

Now that's an appreciation-worthy way to waste your time

It would be nice if you did it. Well, somebody has to do it, it's looking a bit dull.

Agreed. Go on then, Brinster!

That's quite some list! I'm from Ontario, Canada, if anyone feels like adding me next time the list is updated.

Tromsø, Vaine? I've heard of that place - it sounds very interesting.

You're added, Beregond. Though sorry Brinn if it makes your job harder.

Beregond · 01-09-2009, 06:42 PM

Thank you.

I would argue that people who haven't been active for even a year are hardly active at all. Even if people don't post much they're likely to come online at least once every few months o a year.

That's what I would've said. Anyone who hasn't visited since December 2006 is most definitely inactive and most likely won't return. Though I'm tempted to keep members who were once extremely active and no longer are on the list for a little longer than the two year limit. It's just they are more likely to someday return than say a Haunting Spirit...and it has happened before. I don't know if I will though. It's more that I just don't want to remove some members because I miss them and don't want to give up on them. We'll see what I decide.

No, it doesn't. If anything, it helps.

Anyway, I'll get started on it tonight.

EDIT: Btw, I just realised my name's on the list after all. The location just never changed...

Not very, its just a frozen Town on some island in the middle of a fjord. :P
~65.000 inhabitants.
