Hi everybody! I'm new here, but I've been going to the Barrowdowns for a year now and reading the message board. The other night I just decided to join because you seem really nice here. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Welcome, and I love the quote in your sig! An oldies fan has joined us! Hoorah! [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

~Menelien

Well when I joined I somehow missed this thread and so I never said hi, so I say hi now and welcome to anybody who has joined. This is a great site. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]

Hi Hapman, Laiquendi (Figwit!), Sierra2, Kiah, Glorfalcon, Tarien Ithil, babsies, Lirulin, Arvedui, Yavanna228, Fíriel, Gildor15, and Aduoreiel! Welcome to the downs! Post well. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Welcome Gildor15 and Aduoreiel!

Iarwain is right, we are rather impersonal on this thread, but from past experience I know that we tend to get off-topic otherwise if we don't rein ourselves in.

So, anyway, enjoy the Downs, post well, read the FAQ, and don't annoy those wonderful mods. (Mainly because you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup.)

Or tomato sauce, for Kiwis if for no one else.

I'm kidding. Really. They are wonderful people who spend their valuable time keeping these forums nice and tidy.

And (off-topic, I know) - yay for all the Rebekah's with their name spelt like that!

It's great that there's so many people coming in all the time! [img]smilies/cool.gif[/img] [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] And Bekah- Wow, what a wonderful way to welcome everyone [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

~Menelien

No worse than "enjoy being dead!" - in my opinion, at least.

And probably a lot more helpful.

HELLO THERE!!!!!*waves over-enthusiastically* I'm not reallllly new, but hey I thought this would be a cool thread! Anyways, I've only seen/read FOTR and read the hobbit, tho I'm starting the simarillion...oh no!!! excuse me while I run from the enraged LOTR fans because I didn't see/ reed TT or the RTTK....AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!

Sillabub,
TTT and ROTK are excellent. I suggest you read them sometime soon! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] The Silmarillion is wonderful as well, so congrats on reading that.
Peace

Hello everyone! I'm back!!!

I'm sorry I've been gone, but I have finals next week, and I have to study. So if I'm not on the rest of this week or next week, you'll know that I'm studying.

One more reason I won't be on as much~ I have recently been converted into a Les Misérables fan. I have joined a couple Les Miz fora, I'm reading the book, listening to TAC right now, etc, etc.

Hello. As many think my name implies that I am evil you are drastically mistaken. I am not evil I am just a liker of wierd weapons and bad-guys. I also like to think as it as an owner. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Welcome, Mahal, Elle and Polices.

Enjoy the downs, read the FAQ and try to stay on topic. Everyone likes well-thought out posts and will increase their opinion of the poster.

May I warn you, Elle, to not use too much chat language? People appreciate proper sentences.

So here's to many wonderful and interesting discussions with everyone else! [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] May you be blessed with new friendships with other LOTR fans.

Love,

~ Elentari II

Hi, I only just found this site, but it looked cool so I joined.
I also haven't read The Two Towers or the Return of the king, as I vowed to see the movies first, and I intend on starting TTT verry soon as I am in the middle of The Fellowship [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Hello and welcome to all newcomers! I hope you all have a wonderful time here and please remember to read the FAQs, and also to respect other people's opinions.

Enjoy your time here! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Thank you Bekah, and thank you for pointing out not too much chat language, i'll follow that! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Hi, I'm Arestevana. I've read the trilogy and the Silmarillion. I've been coming to this site for a while, but have only now become a member. I love the books and the movies and am looking forward to having a few thought-provoking conversations with fanatics like myself.

Welcome Arestevana!!
