Just wanted to pop in and say hi! Technically not new, but it's been ages since I was on here. Can't believe I remembered the login for this old account.

This was pretty much the first page I visited back when I was new to the internet, loved just idling in the #barrowdowns chatroom. I think I was 13 or 14 back then, closing in on 30 now.

Vaguely recall some nicknames, Ulmo, Rimbaud and Thenamir the chat OPs, Gayahithwen (who I believe taught me how to make an e-mail account!), Artilien, Naz, Yiriandur, burrahobbit, and some guy with a chinese nickname I can't recall.

Perhaps this time I'll do more than lurk the Mirth-y depths.

Welcome back old timer.

I remember Thenamir, (and some of the others) though he stopped being active a relatively short while after I joined.

Welcome back! I don't think we've "met" before, but I recognize your name from some of the older threads.

I would simply like to say that I have missed many of you and that visiting this place still gives me joy. It has been many years. Maybe tomorrow another decade passes. I hope that each of you are enjoying life's adventures. With love!

Hello the Downs!

Elen síla lúmenn’ omentielvo to you all.

Hi! I'm Huinesoron. I've known of the Downs for many, many years (I started one of those many Silmarillion Film projects with a bunch of folks from here), but for some reason have never signed up. Well... until now. It turns out that stumbling back across you and reading thread after thread while going 'oh, I have a thought on that' is a really good incentive to join.

I have a deep-seated inability to keep my mouth shut when I want to say something, so you can probably expect to see me around a fair bit...

In the immortal words of the god Vulcan in The Adventures of Baron Munchausen, "Oh, we cater for all sorts here. You'd be surprised."
