Just an FYI - I don't think an account here will actually go inactive, per se. But if you changed your email address, that can cause problems. If anyone else does that (changes an email and has difficulty getting back on) - you can contact an admin. I THINK they can help.

anyway, I gues I'm back for a while.

And Menelvagor, I definitely remember you. You taught me my first bit of Russian. I pulled it on my two Ukranian friends once upon a time.

That's all it's been?

Welcome back!

Ha, so I just got an e-mail wishing me happy birthday, and it reminded that I have an account here. Haven't been here in years. So, I'm just dropping a line to say hello.

trolls' bane · 02-12-2006, 01:27 AM

BANNED? A new member, BANNED!?

Lotesse · 02-13-2006, 11:35 PM

Dollars to donuts, he or she was banned because they were NOT a real member, but an online telemarketer - those pernicious demons who infect forums such as our Entmoot with the sole purpose of filling it up with spamadvertising. Usually here it's been IPod offers.

But they never even posted!

Maybe a mod or admin who's up on game recognised the IP address from which the person had registered as being previously associated with fake spamadvertisers from the past.

Oh-h-h...That's true. They have the IP banning feature. I forgot. I've never personally had to use that. God willing I never do.

Actually - if a new member joins and just starts an advert thread right away, we generally ban them. You won't see any posts because they got removed.

Ah. How could I forget? Then again...I'm not remembering too well right now.

Renille · 02-16-2006, 05:59 PM

Wow. This has been awhile...
Hello?
Does anyone even remember who I am?
I just...thought I'd pop in...say hello...etcetera...so hello!

***Earniel*** · 02-16-2006, 06:47 PM

Wha? Renille? Is it you? Where have you been, girl?

You missed the end of the TLA and the Sillymarillion, though. We ended it around December. But should you be interested in a souvenir, there's a compilation of all the character-drawings at the end of the discussion-thread.

trolls' bane · 02-16-2006, 07:31 PM

Welcome back! I seem to remember you...

Renille · 02-17-2006, 01:14 AM

HIII!

It feels so strange to be back.
I...have not been here in over a year.
But I remembered this place today while pretending to study for an Abnormal Psych exam. Oh, odd. I discovered this place in...what...eighth grade, and now I'm a freshman in college.Time flies!
Aww. I missed the end of TLA??? I loved that so much.Sad.
There HAS to be a way to extend it...heehee, just kidding.
And I saw the picture, and it was beautiful. Oh memories.
Did anyone save the original TLA anywhere? I want to reread part of it. I miss it. LOTS.
