Hi all! I've recently discovered this wonderful message board, after having visited The Barrow-Downs for quite some time. I'm really enjoying myself on this site, and I plan to stay here!

Welcome Finwe, and I see you are already active, but still make sure you follow the rules and enjoy being dead [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Hy, everyone!
I've been visiting this site for quite a while now, but I'm the kind of "stay-in-the-shadow" surfer. I grew tired of loneliness (no elf likes it [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] ) and decided to brake the silence when I began marching to Rivendell!
So, here I am!
By the way, I was wondering how old are people around here? I have this feeling that I might be a "veteran"(a clue: I'm a student!) Well, of course! I'm an elfmaiden, aren't I!

Welcome to Barrow-downs, Tefalathiel!! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Have a great time here and enjoy being dead with us! (if you're wondering what the heck I mean, we refer to being dead here on Barrow-downs) [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Welcome, Finwe! Welcome, Tefalathiel!

We are all ages, from ten or eleven to about 60ish.

~ Elentari II

I thank all for the wonderful hosptiality while I discover the ways of this awesome place. I must admit one has the tendancy to be overwhelmed when first visiting.

Welcome everyone. Make sure you read this, and this
like RPGS go here and make sure you read the rules and post in the Green Dragon.
Please don't pester the mods, and enjoy being dead. I hope you enjoy your styay with the Barrow-downs, have a nice day. (I feal like a tour guide/ flight atendent/ hotel person. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] )

Welcome, Lor Stoneeyes!
I agree, it is intimidating for awhile when you're new at the Downs, but everyone here is committed to wonderful discussions about a shared passion: the works of Professor Tolkien. I, too, would like to thank everyone for being so helpful and kind during my first few weeks here!
Once again, welcome Lor! Read Fora guidelines, post well, don't annoy the mods, and you'll have a blast! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]
Peace

HI yall i LOVE this sight and i just want to say thanks for all the ppl who made it!!!

HI yall i LOVE this sight and i just want to say thanks for all the ppl who made it!!!

I will add my thanks to yours. It is very rare that one comes across such excellent websites like this one.

Welcome Lor Stoneeyes, and do what Earwen said. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Likewise Varda. Though I would advise you to drop the chat language, as everyone, especially the mods, like to read proper sentences. Also you might have to watch out for double posting, because it is easy to do so unwittingly. (Your introduction post, for example.) [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

And I am pleased to see your interesting and intelligent posts, Finwe. They are a pleasure to read. This is what we all like, and something I didn't achieve in the first few months of my initiation. [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img] Good on you!

Cheers,

~ Elentari II

Hi everybody I just found this place and thought I'd find out more.

If you have any questions about the site, feel free to PM me. Reading the FAQs for each of the forums helps too, but that can get a bit tedious and confusing.

Welcome to the Downs! I hope you enjoy your afterlife.

Wow so many newbies it is hard to keep up [img]smilies/eek.gif[/img] anyway!!
Hey Tefalathiel, Lor Stoneeyes, Varda Imbetalath, Gandalf The Grey!!! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]
Welcome and enjoy being dead. I am sure you guys are really going to fit in well. Take a look around and post well!! [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] see you around..

Hi all. I just signed up and this is my first post. Guess you could say I'm still warm [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Salutations my friends. I might appear to be new, but that is only because it is just recently that I joined officially. I have been reading and observing this forum since it's anniversery party. I'm a golden friend of Ainaserkewen who got me hooked. I love Tolkien, his ideas and his books. The movies are okay, but nothing tops the books, am I right? Anyway, I will fill out a bio sooner or later, but in the mean time, I'm going to be getting into the RPGing here, and bugging my golden friend. Be seeing you all soon when I respond to your threads,
Good posture and fair health,
-Moods of the Earth

Welcome Lasgalen and Mood. We hope you joy your stay with us, and enjoy being dead and post well.

Hello Finwe!

I have already seen that you have been very active in the movie forum, your input is greatly appriciated.

I wish you a wonderful and long stay at the Downs! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Welcome [img]smilies/cool.gif[/img]

Hi, I'm new and my big sis (Holbytlass) is teaching me the ropes so if I mess up it's all her fault! [img]smilies/evil.gif[/img]
I'm glad to be dead here and will enjoy my stay.

I very much agreee with you MOOD, "nothing tops the books".

Welcome and Hola EvennStarr8 and Gandalf The Grey

I must disagree and say quiz, qoutes,mayham,rpg, and Barrow-downs are better then the books(only because I don't understand what they are talking about in the books half the time) but I still like the books. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]

Hello,

My name is Annabelle(one of Bekah's many friends, please call me Kem). I find this 'site' very interesting as I am only a newbie with the Lotr move.

Great to be accepted here. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

So there you are Kem. I was wondering when you would be vissible to me. Yes, the eye of Helkahothion is ever watchfull. Welcome to the downs. Mae Carnen [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Bless Bekah for bringing you.

Suilad,

Anuion

Thank you for the umm 'cold' welcome. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Where do I go with questions or problems? Is there a thread set up for that sort of thing?

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] [img]smilies/evil.gif[/img]

Lasgalen, Welcome!
If after reading the fora guidlines you still have questions or problems that are non-Tolkien related, PM the mods or another member. They should be more than happy to help out. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] Also, remember to use the search function before starting a new thread, because if there is already a thread dealing with that subject, yours may be closed. Enjoy your time here!
Peace

Oh, just so you know, I am not referring to "The Books" forum, but the books themselves. If I have to pick a favorite forum, it would be the RPGs, some of those people should be pros.

Thanks for the welcome my people, I hope I fit in here amoug the dead.

Hey All the Newbies [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]!!
Welcome... I hope you enjoy your time on Barrow-Downs and that it will be the coolest forum you have ever been on [img]smilies/cool.gif[/img] ! Post well and enjoy being dead [img]smilies/evil.gif[/img] .... I do!!

Hello Fellow Borrow-Downers
My name is Imiriegil (Jewelled Star). I am a huge Tolkien fan and I enjoy reading his works. I enjoyed the Lord of the Rings and I can not wait for the Return of the King to come out. I am sure I shall enjoy Barrow-Downs.

hello everybody! and welcome to the Barrow Downs [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Welcome Edie and Imiriegil . Sorry Modd it was one of my stupid days but good choice on the fourm. Welcome and enjoy being dead.

Yes, read the FAQ. Or ask me. But then, Yavanna's already sorted that out more or less.

Sorry for not giving you a warm welcome. But I'll give it now:

Welcome, Lasgalen!!!

And there were several people that also joined up since I last posted - my warmest welcome to you all (especially to you, Kem).

Remember to post well, and enjoy the Downs!!

Love,

~ Elentari II

Welcome Edie and Imiriegil
Enjoy Barrow-Downs... post well and enjoy being dead!!!! I love being dead..
Niluial

Bekah, please don't be sorry. The cold welcome thing was a joke. Since we are dead instead of warm welcomes we get cold ones. I never was any good at humor.

Ok, I guess I have to say something too... Hi! My name's Aredhel Idril Telcontar (but I guess you already knew that [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]) I'll try to post well and be good. I'm not really new to Barrow-Downs, but I only decided to join the forum now. I hope you all won't be too hard on me [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]

I've been here for a good few months I think, but I've never posted. So I'd just like to - post now... hey [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Welcome, Imiriegil, Edie, Aredhel, Malteser... have fun! And being dead is a good thing! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]
