I can't believe this site has gone a whole month with zero posts. We have an awesome site here run by two awesome people, and it just makes absolutely no sense that nobody's supporting it. So, where is everyone? How could this site possibly be this freakin' dead?

hmmm... I think I went down and to the left a bit. Can't speak for everybody else though.

Lol, you guys. It's been very slow for quite some time compared to a year ago. Pinata, Ereinion, and Red and I were about the only regulars. There were others of course who posted on and off. I've been doing a couple of other projects since not much is going on here. I still love roleplaying though. Thanks for keeping the site alive guys.

Hopefully I'll be over my writer's block soon and able to actually start a thread. I can't believe I had to ask where everybody was in order to get people posting again.

Maybe I should try that... I tried it on Naur's site, but it didn't work. It might work on mine though...

Yeah, I noticed your site was dropping off in terms of activity again. It's like the fourth time it's happened since I got there. This site, though, I've been on for over a year... and before, I could always count on at least seeing posts from Wren and Red two or three times a week. When posting stopped entirely for a whole month, it really worried me. I guess I'll have to think of a really good, solid topic to post so we can keep ourselves busy for most of February. ;D

Heh yeah. I wonder if part of the problem is that the movies are over with, and they've already been out on dvd for awhile. Could people be losing an interest in Tolkien.

Meh, it's possible that a handful of "bandwagon fans" generated by the movie hysteria are no longer interested... but I don't really want this site to be associated with people like that, anyway.

Actually one of the reasons I'm not much of a Tolkien fan right now is because the movies are still fresh.
Being a Tolkien fan used to be something special. You and your friend were the only ones to read it and so you two had a special tie together. You both were reading something awesome and amazing that not too many people knew about. Now, that specialness is sorta gone with the movies I think.
As for why I've been absent, I'm just a busy guy with other overwhelming interests. But I do enjoy dropping back in this area once in a while to see familiar names.

Well, keep on dropping in... it's good to hear from old friends every once in a while.

I'm still around, been a while since I've posted, but I've been watching threads I guess... kinda forgot about the site for a bit though, just clicked in my head a few minutes ago, "Hey, I wonder how everybody at Deadman's Dike is doing."
I was actually planning on joining one of the RP threads, was just waiting for the right moment to bring in the character. I'm also up for any new ones... actually been feeling like writing something lately.

I'm here, kinda X.x I have no excuse at all to have dissapeared for so long, and for that I really am sorry and I feel bad now. And ahaha I'm writing a book that actually stand a 1 Millionth chance of being published! *dances around wistfully* Ish based off of the Tadita, but not exactly the one here. It's the one with powers that I nicely edited out for now because Tolkien people can't use Coldfire or manipulate minds...or deal with beings made of magic and trade thier human lives for a cursed undead one >.> But gah all the researching! I have so much work do with that. At least I know the time period now. I didn't want it to start midieval times and end in the 1900s 0.o *cough* enough of the rant. I'm gonna try my hardest to come around here and post. Yay!

Well, if you have to take time out from posting to work on your book, then your book is obviously more important, so I'll try and keep the site alive if you have to leave again. But you were one of the people I missed the most, so yeah, I'm glad you're back too. And Fallohide as well... welcome back. Glad we have somebody keeping the lore again. I'm working on a series of fantasy novels too, so if you want to brainstorm/share research/offer or recieve advice, I'm open to that (even though our subjects are slightly different).
