But the recent Facebook group reminded me just how much I missed you guys. I hate to waste too much space with this thread, but dear god, I forgot how much fun it was being a part of this forum! :-) I want you guys to know how much it meant to me spending time with you, and how much I missed you all! I hope everyone is doing well, and I promise I'll check back and speak with you all! If you want to contact me directly, my email is AndrewRCrisp@gmail.com, and you can find me as Andrew Crisp on Facebook. Love you all!

The posting on the facebook group is what me made me pop back here too. Fun times.
I feel like I did a lot *for* MT, but only ever really got to know a few people here. I have very fond memories of my time on the board though.

Welcome back, fran! Another that I don't think I ever posted with - at least not much ...

You made a lot of the first avatars - were yours the art ones or the movie ones? You got your title of honor that way ...

I remember you, Talan - which is saying something as I don't bother to remember a great deal nowadays. Consider yourself honoured.

I hope your life has been unfolding in interesting and stimulating ways, and that you are still making music.

I did the movie ones, as well as any requests I got. So some of mine are art based ones too. That's how it started, just making them for people who said 'can you make this picture in to an avatar'; I could, so I did.
I believe I made a version of your avatar, Varnafindë, but whether it was the one you ended up using or not, I can't remember! At one time I'd've been able to tell you exactly which ones I did make, but it's been so long my brain has lost all that info.
Fingolfin did the art ones, he's my fellow Captain of Avatars. Was well chuffed when I was awarded that.

I did? Hooray! Glad you liked it.

You made me this one, fran in January 2004. You did a great job with it - the original image was rather difficult to work with
I waited for it for two years, and then I found a calendar (in Parmastahir's calendar thread in the Bag End Auctions) with a portrait (by Henning Janssen) that I felt was much more me. I asked Janssen for permission to use it. He granted it, and sent me a high resolution file of the picture to work with. Silmahtar helped me to get the current version
Just after that, WGW had a little time for giving out avatars, so I got the new one I'm using the same picture in different versions on a few other sites as well these days.

Don't get me wrong. I love a good debate.grew up on them, pursue them as a sport. Just ask Snowdog (poor, long suffering man).... But I swiftly tired of the debates in the North on all manner of Tolkein sites. I find them kinda repetitive: the same debates; the same arguing positions; the same evidence being trotted out. I find the political and theological threads similarly repetitive.
Every so often I forget this and stray in. I soon remember the error of my ways. To each their own, of course.

Sorry for the long silence; a lot has been going on! Maia Olorin, old friend, I'm glad to see you're still kicking around! I think you would not find me as combative a debate partner now, but at the least I hope you shan't find me dull!
I'm currently in hot pursuit of employment after a recent layoff, so I haven't been able to keep in touch as much as I'd hoped, but I'll do everything I can to keep up with you guys. You can hit me up on facebook or my email anytime, and in the interim I'll try to maintain at least a perceptible presence here on the Pony.
I have indeed been making music, though I'm afraid my employment has been elsewhere. Regardless, I'm going to keep trying in that area, and I'll let you guys know if I can ever share any links to my stuff online.
Best wishes, and for the moment,
"Farewell! wherever you fare, till your eyries receive you at the journey's end!"

Hello to all the beloved oldbies - I'm not on here much myself but miss you guys a lot.
I agree about the debates, it does seem that they're mostly played out now. But just so you know, Balrogs don't have wings.

I believe in they have wings, but they aren't very good, like some insect wings! If Balrogs are great big bear-like things, they can't be that aerodynamic at least they don't look it!
