Welcome, CalledA_Song, Laiquendi, Arvedui, Maltamelien, and Turin_5!

Enjoy the Downs, read the FAQ, and remember that everyone appreciates intelligent posting.

Oops, sorry. I really did know that, I am just crazy.

Hi CalledA_Song, Laiquendi, Arvedui, Maltamelien, Turin_5! Welcome to the downs! Post well. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

I second that http://www.breeunderbreehill.com/2f432280.gif

I wasn't sure where to put this, so I drudged up the ol' "INTRODUCE YOURSELF" topic.

I may not be online for a few days. We just got a call; my brother and his wife were in a car accident. They were dead on the scene.

Rynoah, I'm sorry. I'm sure I speak for all of us when I say that we will be thinking of you and your family.

[Sorry, mods, I know it's off-topic, but this isn't something frivolous.]

Rynoah, you have my deepest heartfelt sympathies. *actually stops smiling for once. No, there I go again.*
I have posted 3 times in the Green Dragon and am looking for a role playing game to enter. Any offers please PM me!
Thanks

Welcome, Hapman. Enjoy the Downs, read the FAQ, and remember to post well. I'm sure you'll do well in the RPG section.

In fact, at present the most celebrated event at BD is happening right now - the Birthday Party and Downie Awards. It's all happening in Gondor, you can't miss it. Be sure to check the discussion thread, though.

~ Elentari II

Rynoah so sorry for your loss.

Um yeah, if anyone wants someone in their rp i'm nearly always here.... you can mostly find me at the Green Dragon. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] or just PM me.

Lalaith

You're new. I thought you were an older member when I saw some of your other posts, I think the avatar must be similar.

(Sorry, I usually think of people according to their avatar rather than their name. [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img])

So, anyway, welcome. What I said in the above post. Enjoy BD , read FAQ, post well. Go to Party, and later Awards. And don't use shortened sentences like I've just done. [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]

~ Elentari II

WELCOME ALL!!! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Oh and post wisely. Don't follow my example.

Hi everyone, I am Sierra, I registerd like 5 min. ago, thought I'd introduce myself.

Oh Rynoah, I'm so sorry! [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img]

[img]smilies/cool.gif[/img] Hello I am completly new to this forum and I love it. Cherrio!

Welcome Kiah, and enjoy the uh, privileges of being dead!

Hail, hullo & well-met!
I am Glorfalcon, an elf, & I send fond greeting.
This seems a good place to visit at length, perhaps I'll stay awhile.

Hey,

Uh....I registered literally 30 seconds ago and thsi website is the best Tolkien site I've visited (and believe me, I've visited many!). I'm going to have fun here! I know it!

Thanks so much.

From Tarien Ithil

P.S. You guys seem so friendly to newbies. Many thanks.

Hi, Tarien Ithil. Enjoy it here! Many do... are you a writer, a reader, a movie fan, or all five?

Hello, Hello to all the newbees [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]
Welcome to the Barrow-Downs
Remember to read the FAQ's at the top of the novices and newcomers page, and it would also be handy to go down to the B-D's Announcements section because recently the Barrow-Wight (who is the head of the site, get to know him [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]) has had some very handy topics on Personal Message and avatar size.

Hope you all have a good time posting [img]smilies/cool.gif[/img]

Rynoah, that is really sad, I am very sorry, you will be in my thoughts [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img]

Thank you, Mark and the rest, for inviting me so warmly. To answer your question Mark, I enjoy writing, reading, LOTR movie, books...well, just about anything to do with LOTR!

P.S Rynoah, you have my deepest sympathy. I'm so sorry about what happened.

im new here and just wanted to let every one know i've arrived. so hello everyone!! please talk to me any time [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

me again. just wanted to say im soo sorry to Rynoah. i know how it feels to lose a member of the family in a car accident.

Greetings, ghostly denizens of the Barrowdowns! I am relatively new to messageboards, but not new to Tolkien's literature. I hope to enjoy many discussions of The Silmarillion and Unfinished Tales. My name "Lirulin" is Quenya for "lark"; not very creative I know, but reflects my love of kelvar and olvar, and the natural world as a whole. I'll read the FAQ and the site announcements before I go in search of an avatar.

Rynoah, you have my sympathies.

hey, im new. read all the books. how do i get a picture? [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Very sorry, Rynoah. Will keep you (and your brother) in my prayers.

PS~ Thorin~ You live in Frisco?!?! PM me if you want to arrange a meeting sometime over the summer! (I'm in Dallas)

PPS~ Lirulin~ Just wondering: where did you get 'Lark' from? Les Miz, by any chance? [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Actually Eressië Ailin, what you are doing with your picture is illegal. I looked on Jonathon Earl Bowser's website in which you link to for your picture avatar, and he says this:

- Copyright Issues -

All images and text are protected by registered copyright. You are free - of course - to download these picture files to your computer, and if you would like to showcase some of my images on your own web-site, then you are invited to do so. Please upload the picture files to your own server, rather than transloading from my site and borrowing my very limited and expensive bandwidth.

NOTE! - This authorization applies to non-commercial (not for profit) Internet applications only, and anyone who places my work on the Internet must provide a full and prominent credit (my name is to appear with the artwork), and establish a link to my web-site. ANY use of my images without a proper credit and link will be considered an unauthorized use - a violation of, and prohibited by, international copyright law.

So, to use the pic, you should load it to your own host server and give the artist credit in your sig with a link to his website since he requests it.

However, thanks for the steps in setting up an avatar. I just recommend everyone using your their host.
This threaddiscusses avatar issues.


Rynoah, you have my condolences in your loss.

Great avatar Thorin, though it kind of looks like Santa Claus [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Welcome to the Downs [img]smilies/cool.gif[/img]

Hi! Its nice to be here! I hope to be able to post more here! Nice website!

I see my love Arvedui is already here [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] Thank you beloved for introducing this site to me.

[ May 08, 2003: Message edited by: Fíriel ]

Rynoah, my condolences to you and your family. You will be in my thoughts and prayers. I know this is late, but the feeling is still heartfelt. [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img]

Welcome to the Downs Fíriel! Post long and well and enjoy being dead!

Rynoah, I'm very sorry about your brother. I will be praying for you.

Welcome, Sierra2, Kiah, Glorfalcon, Tarien Ithil, Babsies, Lirulin, Thorin Oakenshield, Fíriel, and Yavanna - your name is spelt the same way as mine, yay!!!!

Post well, read the FAQ, don't annoy the mods, and enjoy the Downs!

Love,

~ Elentari II, aka Rebekah

Hurrah! A kindred spirit! haha, it's quite rare for me to find a Rebekah with the same spelling. Thanks for the welcome [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
Peace

Loved the site for months! Just joined.

That's exactly how it happened for me! Welcome to the downs. I never liked this thread, it always seemed too impersonal, kind of like the main city center in "The Great Divorce".

I'm leaving now,
Iarwain

Yes, that's also why I never posted anything here except welcomes for others. And Rynoah, I only just read your post, I'm very sorry about your brother. [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img]

~Menelien

I am just going to say that I personally am giving a truthful hello to everyone who comes to this thread, that is just the way I am. I always like when we have new people who come to this site. It means new ideas, new friends, and just a plain good time.

So everyone
Welcome to the Barrow-Downs [img]smilies/cool.gif[/img]

Well said Gorwingel, I agree.

Welcome all!!! Be careful not to annoy the mods as they are scary when provoked and read the FAQ.
