Announcements: Important:HVEL will be relocating to a Proboard, which is currently under construction. It's been great here, hosted by runboard, and this was a great way for me to start out, but due to the more advanced, efficient, manageable, and interchangeable features, I have decided to move HVEL to there. This board will always be here, as a sort of museum to the past HVEL and the promise of the future.

posticon Ancient Documents From Before HVEL

Anyone who has ever wanted to see how this board started, how I planned it, and how it's layout changed, here's a quote from the original paper with which I designed it.
If something is centered,
Like This

it means that it is a section name.
Anything on the Margin is a forum name. Anything following it is the description, loke this:
Example Forum- This is not an existing forum.

Layout 2: The Hidden Village of Ered Lindon

Then, here's the second attempt made, on the back. Much more evolved, and recognizeable as the HVEL we know today. It's also much more like the layout that only SneakyRat and I remember, from before the "Rearrangement," as we jokingly call it. It has greatly changed from then to the way you see it now.
This is very similar to the layout of the board when we first built it:

quote:


The Hidden Village of Ered Lindon


The Opera House- The screaming Italians we love to listen to.
The Ball Room and Concert Hall- All other classical music.
The Composers' Hall of Fame- Talk about the composers here.
The Tolkein Library- Discuss Tolkein's Masterpeices.
--Middle-Earth and More
--The Silmarillion
--The Hobbit
--His Other Books- Middle-Earth and non-ME.
The SciFi Library
The Fantasy Library
The Fiction Library
The Non-Ficion Library
The Poems & Song Library
The Members' Writings Workshop/Library- Write your stories and poems here.
LotR RPG Forum
Other RPGs
RPG Discussion Forum
Nurv's Teacup Cafe (un-decided for forum or thread)
The Mumak Inn- Newbies and older members, take a room here!
Derndingle- Entmooters & TTFers come here. All are welcome.
The Saturday Evening Post- News
--The Harold Examiner- Gossip, town happenings, etc.
The Investigative Channel- Presenting Micheal Kincaid: The Strangeseeker
K-HVEL- Radio dramas, music (no rap), and related discussion.
City Hall- Comments, suggestions, and what you think I should do.
Photographers' Gallery- Talk about photography and post links to your photography websites.
The Double-Helix- Science, discoveries, and more.
Keiran's Casino- Rodent fan-club.
Plisken and Brendan's Casino- Brendan's LEGO fan club (mega-block lovers fine).

Re: Ancient Documents From Before HVEL

The original layout of the board, when I built it, is a mix of the two layouts, mostly the first. I don't remember it exactly, and I'm sure SneakyRat doesn't either.

Re: Ancient Documents From Before HVEL

If only I had a scanner. I would actually copy the papers and paste them here. But, I doubt you would be able to read them (one of them is in pencil)
