Oh my God, I still do remember those times well enough with good old Mithrandir’s MMP-page and the problem about finding out the available figures of the “Saruman’s Army” warband. Yes, Henk helped a lot in those days. – I can also see a link to the “Frumgar-MX”. Alas, also that now is a long time ago.
The sheets of TimeMachine where Jim provided legal recasts of the two warbands (the orc warband even included the rarest orc with the raised spear). I do remember that the prices he asked for were lower than the original ones.
Alas, yes, indeed Gildor, all of these links cause some serious nostalgia with me.
On the other hand it proves that the tree always has been there.
there is actually quite a lot of things you can still do on this “ghost” site, only members list and forum and reference pages are gone but everything static is still there
well I was there with you back in the days my friend, after all, I’m a long lived elf too from Valinor, am I not ? but there are others too
ddaines, barliman, axel, maenas, mornedhel, ori, gavin, hsf62, HalbaradII…. we’re all from those originsI remember I joined the MMP community back when it was still but a yahoo mailing list and no website (and I STILL have all the mails from that period) we are all the memory of this great community. This was during the discussions for the MX Frumgar project that Matt “calboy” Bates had forwarded to Michael O’Brien… back in march 2005, I actually was against the idea of a grouped MX originally , I still havet the mails from March 19, 2005
We were not getting along very well with calboy… I must admit I was not very kind either back in those days…but well, when I joined and was but a “rookie”, you were already there master ENT , back to the days Yavanna gave life to you
alas I don’t have any email from you prior to 2008, we were discussing on the MMP old board but all those messages are lost now… it was not until I wrote personnaly to you to ask you what you’d think about me taking back the management of MMP after Marc disappearence that we exchanged mails.I actually found old emails back from 2002 between Ricardo ‘Ori’ Fernandez and myself , and Michael “Presto247365” Keyerleber., or Lothar “gilgaladtolkien” Nielsen.. who actually helped me complete my collection back in the days I was FAAAR from having finished it
that was way before MMP. A lot of mails from Dietmar Friecke if any of you knew him?Alas, I may only be Atani and came much later then many of you but I hope my presence helps fill some of the void created by those from long ago who may now reside in the Halls of Mandos (figuratively speaking of course
).Although I haven’t been very active and closer to the typical type that comes and goes*, I am here till the times of MMP and Perilous realms… just the sight of that magical drawing an the blue colours bring me back the scent of those times. Thank you for sharing Gildor!
This was many many years ago when I was almost starting to step into mithril a little bit more and discovered that page through the quirky internet connection that I was only able to get at the public library. (paying some money for 30 mins. sessions)
All I can remember from those days is that Wendy and Mithrandir were quite active till they disappeared suddenly one after the other… and that our beloved Ent Theobald, Master Barliman and his broom servant Nob and also the man in the dark were already there when I started visiting the pony. ^^
*: You all can prove this by my scarce 370 posts!
Uh, i was there back at that time? uh, master Barliman I was? well maybe I was… can’t remember
What I seem to remember is that the “man in the dark” was “the man in the corner” back then…
I know him, always smoking his pipe in a cloud of smoke…
You are forgetting me, Gildor. I was on old MMP way back to first MX. And I was an investor with Master Ent, Master Caster, and two others (Herbert and Mike?) in the Frumgar MX.
And yes, Master Barkeep, I was the Man in the Dark Corner back then. I suppose there are some who just think I’m “In the Dark.”
And don’t forget the mug of ale to go with my smoke, good Sir! But this seems like banter that should be taking place in the Pony, not these damp shadowy vaults here in Angrenost!!
i am not forgetting you at all dear “man in the corner”
I just quoted you above… well Nob quoted you . it’s true I did not put you in my former list , shame on me.I also remember the investors, as I was in the mailing list too back in 2005 and we were all discussing it, with Wendy, Marc, Holger, Mike too I think
