Nia! :mrgreen: EK here; it's wonderful to be posting together on a forum with another Dunami (especially the one who first adopted me) again.

I’m so happy. I joined the plaza a few days before I turned thirteen. I turned thirty this year. I’ve missed this place.

This is so great! Lots of people are crushing on you right now, Narv.

This has given me a little extra dose of joy today! I don't know how active I can be, but it's so delightfully nostalgic. Thank you for all the time and energy and thank Protoguy for the icons! Look at the sweet little pony faces...

I live in NYC where the pandemic has made everything so hopeless for a while now - and this, this made me cry tears of joy.

EK! How the devil are you?! I really feel like I've just entered some weird time warp.

This is truly wonderful, Narv! Thank you so much. It took me a few minutes to figure out how to sign in, so please ignore my frantic posts on the FB page. It's like getting to live an old life over again. Back in those days of pounding away at the keyboard, I couldn't type (or speak using VRS) fast enough. Take care and stay safe, everyone.

Heh, it's still kinda surreal. I've been pretty good, thanks; hope the same is true for you. :)

I can’t believe it’s been at LEAST 18 years since I discovered the plaza! Man, we had some good times. It’s so great that you did this Narv! I see familiar faces, some of whom I’ve stayed friends with this whole time outside of the plaza. This is bringing back so many memories..I was 22/23 when I first joined and now I’m 40, but my love of LOTR still burns strong in my heart. Let’s get this party started!!

Nia! Findy! Aig! Fir! Eldy! Nula! Man this is just TOO much nostalgia all at once =D

EK - yup, all well here with me, thanks!
Reik - Tell me about it!

So good to see everyone; so, so many familiar names! And the icons! I can't get over the icons! Nor the colour scheme; these particular shades of yellowy-beigey-khaki-brown just feel like home.

Also Shiva and I are working to get out some of the old Rohan faves back in place. So keep your eyes open!
Shiv -- partners in crime yes?!!

I have a list of stuff I want to get up and running when KD is open again:)

Thank you, Narv, and anyone else who assisted in making this happen. And it’s so nice to see so many familiar faces! What a wave of nostalgia I’m experiencing right now.

Thank you so much Narv :) I love what you've done with the place!

However, putting Sil in charge... are you sure about that? ;)

Hey everyone! Can't wait to see where all of this goes.

I have missed y’all soo much! My days at work will now be much more entertaining now that I have the plaza again.

Fiiiiiindy!!!!! I have freaking missed you and all our crazy antics!!!! Make sure to visit me in Rohan and vice versa!!!!!

I was discussing the Plaza just the other day in that "remember when" kind of nostalgia and then poof. Here it is. You've done a great job on super beta mode so far. Also I need to add that holy crap I was two years older than my daughter when I first joined this site!

It's back!

Sometimes you just need to whack something.

This is so cool Narv! Also whoa, the old emoticons are back and it just gave me another wave of nostalgia

Hi, Naia! It's been ages since we used to post in LLL together (and as captor/prisoner in Mordor, which was possibly my first RP thread), but I was thinking of you earlier, hoping you'd make it here. It's great to see you around. :)

Oh, wow, so many names! Some I thought I'd never see again!

And it's back!!! I have missed this emoticon!!

Thanks for the work! Nice to prod the ol' nostalgia a bit, at the least.

It's been a very long time...thank you for bringing this lovely place back to us.

I saw the initial discussion and then my messenger and FB exploded with everyone sending me the link. I just didn't have time to come take a look and register until now. Thank you Narv for taking the initiative to begin anew and making a place that looks so familiar again. I know there have been many iterations of private lotr forums, but there is something connected to the nostalgia of being on a site that looks like the plaza of old. It is good to see so many familiar names as well!
Not sure how much time I will have to play here, but am sure I won't be able to help poking my nose in a time or two.

Trip to memory lane! Looks great!
This little bonsai does want Fangorn back if possible ;)
Great work Narv!

Perfect timing, Middle-earthlings. I'm going up the wall at home. Thanks for all the hard work.

So many familiar names and icons! Thanks for putting it back up, whether it is for just a short time or longer, I have thought so many times about returning to this lovely early/mid 2000s fun! I feel old

I saw in another thread you're planning on bringing back the Halls of Knowledge, which is great! If you need any help with developing quizzes, I'm happy to lend some assistance

This is amazing! Thank you, Narv!

Nanu, Nanu, Hi Big Narv one up there in the sky...this tiny little wizzie is desperately looking for Isengard. I know it's not there (yet), but can I please start something somewhere to call home. I need to welcome back wizzies that are lost in the wilderness, or just plain drunk and lost in someone's arms (probably pretty beautiful)...is there a place in Rohan, where those damn horses didnt go yet...a shed, some tree, whatever...I'm sure many wizzies long to come, if they know

Ult, just join the Kingdom of Isengard (you can still join even though there isn’t a forum) and then create a post in Rohan. I’m sure people will flock to Isengard!

Unless Isengard becomes considered part of Fangorn as our Treegarth..... :smiley8:

Mojo: Well, it wouldn't be beyond the realm of the plaza to combine those two kingdoms. Never really played in those areas, but maybe Isengorn or Fangard?

This is amazing, and the nostalgia trip is so real! Thanks for all this work, Narv!

I recognize just about all the names on here. I agree with keeping things simple. Keeping the place small and simple.

Holy moles. It's like 17 years haven't even passed! Whoa...17 yeeeearrrs. SEVENTEEN YEARS.

Oh man this brings back memories. This is a mad time, thank you Narv!

Oh wow, this is sooo great! I still consider the Plaza as a very special phase in my life. Thanks for bringing it back to life Narv. And thanks to fellow Ent Nienna for alerting me to it.

Hello everyone and thanks beyond counting to Narv! Unbelievable to be back in Imladris and called Saranna! I'm so overexcited I can't even think of any useful suggestions but hope to be useful in the Lore threads as I was in the old days.

I’m more than ecstatic to see something that even resembles the Plaza of old. Thank you, bless you!

So I see that Ultchuk got his pointy hat back. How the heck do I get mine?

Up to the left: Change rank :) Welcome back!
