I've just checked out the members listing here at OR like I do every few times a year. I'm in the top 30 post count, woohoo! Makes me wonder if I would get a lot more done using my time to paint rather than being here, but I love it here anyways. I'm amazed at how GothmogTheWerewolf shot up to Elven Elder in just over a year! Very dedicated member.
Other funny things & useless facts: "The OneRing Community" (member) is officially the first member since 1969 (???) when the forum board has been created Jan. 8th 2004. [sarcasm]No of course not, no hacking going on at all...[/sarcasm] Funny enough Dagorlad isn't the first board member despite being the creator, he's third or 4th if you include Mr. 1969 mentioned before. The members before him are Silvertiggie and Silverscott, both of whom are wayfarers with little to no posts, but one visited in 2010 to drop a line since doing so in 2004.
I remember being part of a general Lotr site "Middle-Earth-Centre" that had it's own tiny miniature group, then I found this site and told the group about it, only samoht came along, the rest of the group was pretty much inactive anyway. So now I'm a "few" posts away from Loremaster, but the coin system is coming back soon yay
so I'll probably be demoted back down to Wayfarer along with everyone else. Who else is excited about that? I am glad coin is coming back, took me a month to figure out that you purchase adventure gear icons with them when I first joined! I want to suggest to Dago to give us a handful of coins for our personal join date anniversary and/or everytime we reach a posting limit at intervals, not everyone here can write meaningful articles to earn coins and advance in title. I hope BilboOfTheWhiteTower is given an honorary title or the cap title straight away when we convert.
Anyone else here ever took the time to check out the member's list? And what has been your OR experience since coming here, etc?
