Hey another Bombadil! welcome to the downs, any questions feel free to PM me any time!

Feanor, GCSEs are national exams you work towards for two years, doing pieces of externally moderated coursework for each throughout, then take the GCSE exams at the end of Year 11 (American year 10). Most pupils take 8 to 10 GCSE subjects - some schools, especially private ones, take a subject a year early (for example, I got the results of my ICT this Summer, but I do the other 9 next May). The killers are languages - you get about three exams for each!

Arien - welcome back indeed! I hope you got the results you wanted from your GCSEs :) Are you staying on for AS and A2s?

Lurker Bombadil - LOL, I like the name! Glad you finally decided to join us as a member - welcome in your, erm, new position? :D

Isilmë - Hooray, an RPGer! Welcome to the Downs, Isilmë and, well, I'll doubtless see you around the Shire!

Welcome, all recently deceased!

(Love the avatar, Namo Mandos!)

Welcome, to all newcomers! Hope you all enjoy being dead!

I've an Announcement, and I thought here would be the best place to post it. I've recently looked up my Elvish name in the name generator, and it is--- Mithhuaniel! so instead of calling me "elronds_daughter" you can call me Mithhuaniel if you like. that's how i'll be signing my posts anymore. it's right down there in my sig, if you noticed.

just thought i'd let you all know.

Hello. I am not a new member, but an old one returning. I... wasn't sure where to place this post.

All I can say is that I'm happy to be back.

Welcome Back Pallando! i hope you stay dead with us for a longer time... meh alls dead that ends dead...

Me too.
 

I want to be welcomed back because..... Lets just say I've been away for a bit.

Welcome back, Gelmir! and everybody else whom I have so thoughtlessly been ignoring.:p

cheers!

Hi I am new :D I have no clue how to do anything --yet ;) I love forums though and am excited to be here....so how do I set my avatar?

Welcome, RandomRadagast! Hope to see you around...

There is an FAQ for the Downs, and here is the bit about avatars.

See you around!

Cheers,
Imladris

thanks, btw how do I get to be um--not newdead? lol

oh i see, what would I be after oh say 100 posts :cool:

Welcome, RR! 100 posts = wight. All the various "levels" are in the FAQ section.

When you reach my level of Posts or higher, you must wait for Admins to contact you adn give you a new name... don't ask them for one or they'll get very tempermental...

Welcome to the Downs, RadomRadagast! Yes, in Novices and Newcommers, you'll find the answer to lots of questions. However, if it's not mentioned there, try Private Messaging someone for the answer :D BTW (By the way), love the Lord of the Peeps avatar :)

I'm the newguy
 

I've been hooked on Tolkein since I was 8 and I'm proud to say that I still am. Books,epics and Honors classes are what I'm in to.

Welcome Berserker! i hope you enjoy being dead! you do know they make good warriors cause they don't stop fighting when a random body part falls off...

Listen to Gil-galad! He knows what he's talking about.

but anyway...

Welcome to the 'Downs, Beserker_Warrior and RandomRadagast! enjoy death in its various stages.

cheers!

I'm not really a new member, but I'm coming back (or trying to)! I have school and homework and all that stuff. I was the first student of the week in the school year 04-05. I'm so excited. Well, forgive me for my ignorance for I am from Tennessee and have only seen the hills. :D

Goodby y'all!

P.S. I highly recommend going to the Festival of Cultures in Cleveland, TN ( sorry, not Ohio) on Saturday, Semptember 18, 2004.

P.P.S. Please remember all of the people who died 3 years ago on 9-11 and our troops in Iraq. May God be with you.

Hi. I'm new too. I've been on forums, but never a LOTR one. Well, hello, anyway. :D

Hello Lyre Elfwood! Welcome to the Downs! Believe me, you'll like this forum :D

Thanks!

My God, I have been gone for a long time. Let's just say I have been in other waters... I still love the Barrowdowns. So hello again guys, maybe I'll stay this time!!!

let me give a big Welcome to Lyre Elfwood, a big Welcome Back to Annalaliath, and a half Welcome, half Welcome Back to Lady of the Pants. Hope you all are so far enjoying death in its various stages.










true, but doesn't everything end dead? therefore, (according to your statement) everything is dead. just thought I'd contest an idea while I was here. ah, but debates are fun.;)

cheers!
Mithh

Hello all y'all old people and all the new members too! Looking forward to bumping into all of you somewhere on this great site!

Thanks for the warm welcome (welcome back)! I appreciate it. I am enjoying being a Pile o' Bones. Well, see y'all later! :D

Argh!
 

Wow! The outside keeps on getting me, I need welcoming back... Again :)

I laugh at the way we seem to be distracted by real life... and other forums. Well, Hello all the recently dead, and welcome back to all use old fogies. Enjoy being dead..... ooo I just dated myself....

Yeah, yeah, another new guy. I've lurked on the forums for about two years, and I've been hitting the chat a lot recently, so I figured why not register for the site proper.

As expected, I am a rather serious _Rings_ fan; I enjou both the books and the movies, reread the trilogy (plus _The Hobbit_) about once a year, and eagerly await the extended version of ROTK.

Yeah.

Best _Rings_ forum on the 'net. You guys rock.

Thanks, Calan, and welcome! Glad you're enjoying yourself here.

Many warm welcomes to all newly deads!

Welcome to all newly deads ,may you all evolve into haunting spirits.

Then SHade of Carn Dum, then Prince of Cardolan i take it, then your personal one...can't beleive Perky already got his...

Hi there...
 

I was once a member on this site, but it`s been a while ago. I`m glad to be back!

I don`t think I would consider myself an expert Tolkienite, if you follow me, but I know more than just about everyone in my town.

Okay, I`m in search of friends, so feel free to e-mail me, or whatever. :D


Nimrodel

If you know more about Tolkein than everyone in your town then your certainly an expert. :D :D

And welcome back.

new to the site
 

Love this site. I grew up with LOTR and the silmarillion. I can no longer recall how many times I've read them. I had to throw away my copy of the silmarillion the other day (kind of ironic) as It was in poor shape. But plan on buying another of course. :mad:

Hi, turgon, and welcome! :)

Hope you get a new copy of the Sil soon... I hate being without all my books!

I'm not a newcomer to this site, but I am to the forums. I am a devoted fan to Tolkien. I am fascinated with lotr weaponry, and have been reading about it for about three years. :eek: I am a fan of poetry also. I've read a bit of Shakespeare, but not a lot. My favorite play is A Midsummer Night's Dream. I detest anime.:mad: I like gaming and art. I am an ametuer graphic design artist and have been interested in graphic design for about a year. I am fascinated with Celtic culture. Anywho, I love this sight and shall post here every day until the day I die (I hope). :o

Welcome Turgon and Dark Elf ( Wow a Graphic Designer Cool ! )
Hope you have a good times at the Downs. :D :D
