Thanks Malk, I'll stay away from the animated stuff [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]

Hi, I'm new. I can't thikn of anything else to say, so I'll leave it at that.

Welcome, Nurvilya! If everyone who had nothing to say posted as briefly as you have, reading on the forum would be much more interesting! [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] Enjoy yourself here!

I welcome you all, mae govannen! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] Enjoy your stay and remember to haunt the forum often! [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]
Barodir - The animated is a must-see-film, who cares if it´s not good? It´s a classic! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] I even have it on DVD......*laughs*

Hello. I'm new too...like the rest of the people here!

I'm a self-dubbed Tolkienite and have read the 1st, 3rd, 5th, and 7th books in the History of Middle Earth...plus the obvious two in the Tolkin world. The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit.

Welcome everyone else who has proclaimed themselves new since I last posted

And while I'm at it Happy new year (just 35 minutes to go!)

Hello, I will refrain from saying the obvoius. I am a self-proclaimed obsessor, and am searching for everything Tolkien wrote. (I have the LotR trilogy and the Hobbit, but not anything else.)

Hello. I'm new here and I hope this sight is worth my time. Which it is.

howdi me new too how old r u? were you from i'm from england its raining here. [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img]

Wow! Cool to see all the new members. Howdy everyone.

Just one point though. Here at the Barrow Downs we don't use chat spellings and run together sentences. We like to do things the way Tolkien did, using good writing and good English.

If you do this, more people will want to read your posts. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Hi, I'm baggins. I just joined this site. How is everyone?

Hello all! I'm new here and this site is so cool! Read LOTR about 5 times and seen the movies too many times!
Can't wait to meet some new people!
[img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Hi all =) I'm Aerlinn, obviously new.. as I wouldn't be here if I wasn't.. I'm new to this board, but not to message boards (I also post at the Musings of Viggo boards, if anyone else is familiar.. I'm Ani over there though) so.. yep =) I'm 17 years old, avid fan and fanfic writer (maybe not so avid, but I am currently working on one, so does that count? lol) I've read.. all of LOTR and almost all of the Silmarillion, and I'm madly in love with all of them.. hehe.

Hi!

Hey all!

I'm new here and i just thought i'd say hi.
I've read most of the books - my favorite is the Silmarillion - and i think this is a great site, there's so much info going around!!

hullo! Im new (obviously! [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img] ) so thought I'd drop in here and introduce myself before wandering off to post in a bit. I've been a member in various other Tolkien related discussion forums before, but its great to finally find one that hasnt got masses of spammers/nonsense posters everywhere! So far, it looks pretty impressive, so I look forward to reading all your posts!

Namaarie!

Hi everyone! Welcome! Make yourself at home! We here at the Barrow-Downs don't bite too hard, and always have plenty of Seedcake left! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

I'm new to this site, but have a very extensive knowledge of Tolkien's works...I've read everybook o' his 'cept the Language one. I've been on the channel in mIRC for a while and there I was told that there was a website and forum. So, I decided to see what it was all about and ended up joining. Throrin Greyhammer's me name, and if you cannot tell, I am a Dwarf. Though, I do believe that Elves are not horrible and do have some purpose in ME, but contrary to most people's belief, Dwarves are much, much, much better craftsmen and smiths than elves.

Hi Girithhen, Baggins, Maiden of the Sky, Aerlinn, Ithryn Luin, Nevvasaiel, Precious, and Throrin! Welcome to the downs! Post well.

Hey everybody! I'm new here but definitely not new to Middle Earth! I love everything involving Lord of the Rings! Cya around the site!

/wave
Hiyas, new to the forum. [img]smilies/eek.gif[/img] There is a lot to catch up on! Better get to reading!

Hey all! I'm new on here! I hope to see y'all around the site and feel free to send me a P.M. whenever if I'm doing something wrong or ya wanna talk! See y'all around!

Hi. Not new. I just don't write much. Welcome newbies.

Welcome, welcome, welcome....
All I can say is: This site rox, you´ll see for yourself! Have a good time here, post often and have fun meeting other crazy people besides me.... [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

And here´s a pic I adore....

Hi LOTR_know-it-all55, Jedana, Kirsanne_Tolebrass, Alceldaiel, and anduin angel 44! Welcome to the downs, post well. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

I'm very new to Barrow Downs. In fact this is my first post. I am sort of a refugee from another forum. *thanks my fellow newbie who suggested this place* and am impressed by the more "intelligent" discussions here.

I hope to make some friends here, and am looking forward to becoming more familiar with this board.

BTW.. Are there alot of folks from the U.K. in here? [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] Maybe I might run across a few old mates. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Hi
I'm Sindae. I LOVE this site, especially the name generator (that's where I got Sindae from...) and the location finder. I've read the LotR, the Hobbit and the history of middle-Earth volume 7 and I really like them.
