Very late merry christmas all!! I haven 't been on alot/at all because my computer had a virus. I'll catch up though. Welcome all new peoples of this world and Middle Earth :D

Hello everyone. I'm new in this place but not new in Tolkien's world. But i have to admit that it will take some time before i can say that i know my way around here. :cool:

Howdy! Don't worry, it's not that easy to get lost here in the 'downs... a "wrong" click will always lead to new and interesting discoveries! So just click away and see where your luck leads you to.

But looking at your name and your signature, may I suggest you visit the "Be careful with what you wish for" thread, on the Mirth section? I think you might enjoy it.

Nevertheless, welcome!!!

Welcome, we hope you enjoy it here. :cool: we're glad to have you here, and don't worry, after awhile you'll find your way around fine. :)

Welcome Wishmaster, I hope you enjoy it and if you need help with anything...we're all glad to do so. :)

I haven't been on Barrowdowns for a few years, so in a way I am new, and in other ways I am not.
So I say welcome to the new members. Enjoy being dead! :)
Happy New Year to you all!

Welcome Wishmaster and welcome back Galadel. Hope you both have a great time here and that we keep you here longer Galadel!

Welcome all new members! It's fun to see some new ghostly faces!

Nimmy :D

Hi I am new on this forum

A warm welcome to all of you! Hope your stay here will be as wonderful as mine has been :D

Welcome Galadel and Umbarcil!!! hope you enjoy your stay here. Just post around or lurk if you want to. :D I'm sure we'll enjoy having you here.

Welcome Umbarcil and welcome(back) Galadel...enjoy :D

Welcome to the Barrow-Downs, Umbarcil!

Happy New Year, everyone! I wish you the best! :D

Hello to you all,fans of Tolkien.
I am both new and old to this site,but it's natural for you not to know me,so I should kindly introduce myself.
I am Yancho,20 1/2 years old,from Bulgaria.I am currently a law student 2nd year.
I am a fan of Tolkien since I was a child and have read several of his books (not only The Hobbit,Silmarilion and The Lord of the Rings).I am fascinated from the world of The Middle earth,but the very spirit of its characters and nature.There is no other theme which has had such a great hold on me (maybe SW for a while,but not so clsoe).
I began with the words that I'm not new to barrowdowns,because I feel that I ain't.Long ago - 4,maybe 5 years I used to write in the guestbook and to chat with some of the other fans in the barrowdowns chat.But back then my i-net connection was too slow to visit the site too often and to really explore it completely.Now I reenter this wonderful site.I hope for a warm welcome and to find/refind many friends here.
I am a big fan of Boromir,so that's why I use his name as a nickname.
Well,that's my intro.Hope to have nice time here.
Namarie.

P.S.Ah,yes - and happy new year to ya all!Hope it will be better than the last one!

welcome umbarcil and boromir to a new and exciting year of the downs!

Welcome Boromir, I wonder what kind of people join on the 1st January :D Well, this is quite a start, I can tell you - hope this means you are going to stay for at least the whole year 2007! I can ensure you that this community is quite pleasant (from what I can say, being here just for a month and something) and I hope that you are going to have fun here, as much as it might help you in deepening your knowledge of the mysteries of Middle-Earth... so enjoy your stay!
P.S. And also welcome to the EU ;)

Welcome to the 'Downs Boromir_bg...I'm sure you'll find many things here to suit you. :)

Thanks people for the warm welcome.I'm sure that I will find what I search here. :)
Ah,yes and thanks for the welcoming for the EU membership.

Welcome, Boromir. We're glad you joined. :)

Welcome to the Barrow-Downs, Boromir! :D

As a lot of this topic, I have to say I am new as well. I found out about the Barrowdowns through a friend who used to be on this messageboard as well, he referred to this quit a time ago and I remembered it lately, asked him about the URL and registered.
I am Dutch, and 14 years of age. I starded reading Tolkien stuff about to be honest... maybe 1.5-2 years ago :D I wasn't much of a reader for Lord Of The Rings to be honest, so after seeing the movie I didn't immiditly starded to read. By now I've read af course the LoTR's, The Hobbit, The Silmarillion and Unfinished Tales. For a Dutch feast very much like Christmas (Sinterklaas to be accurate, on the fifth of December.) I got the first 3 volumes of The History Of Middle-Earth and Unfinished Tales, I Finished Unfinished Tales not long ago so I am now busy (since a few days) in The Book Of Lost tales pt. 1
Well, there's not much more for me too tell (live you're life and live it well <- Sorry that's a Megadeth lyric, after the first line of it I couldn't control myself and typ the second line :D )

Welcome to the 'Downs Amras, it's good to have you. Dutch, eh? I'm actually half-dutch...my grandparents (from my father's side) came to the States from Holland. :D Again, welcome hope you enjoy.

You speak any Dutch? :D

Welcome, Amras. It's good to have all these young people here.

Enjoy it here!

Hello Everybody!
It's been a while since I've posted on these forums...

Hello to all newbies!

A special welcome to Armas:
Het is zeer aardig om u te ontmoeten.
Ik spreek niet zeer goed.
Ik hoop dit correct is en ik geen dwaas van mij maak.
Vrede,

Elonve
(Please PM me if this is wrong...)

Sadly no...only English and the bit of French that I can remember. :)

Welcome back Elonve, enjoy. :D

Hello, I am Tar-Meneldur, I have been on this site many times before just I never tryed to join because I felt I knew nothing compared to what others on here may.
I hope to fill in some of the gaps that I forgot about. I have read the Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit and The Silmarillion, but I have not read then in a few years so I have forgotten some of it.
I hope to get back in to the wonderful world of Middle Earth.

Welcome to this forum!!! you'll learn alot, trust me. I did. :D

Welcome Tar-Meneldur; I hope you enjoy the 'Downs. You don't have to be some huge scholar here to enjoy the forums. :)

Thank you, I really do hope to find it just like home in a small way.

Welcome Tar-Meneldur!
I hope you'll enjoy the Downs and hope to see you here often! ;)

welcome tar-meneldur!

dutch eh? well i know one sentence in spanish that some day i'll use to get me by in that country

El Pollo Esta Muerto

enjoy it those that can understand it

A very warm welcome, or should that be a cold and clammy embrace characteristic of a corpse? Ah well, a "welcome" nonetheless!

Well I hope to be on a lot more, I still need to know were every thing is and what is what and that matter, I still need a road map in a way to find everthing.

But I do hope to get better at it as time goes by.

Thank you to all, I know that this is a site that is very good at making friends to all newcomers I know for a fact that I will be able to meet friends here, and that in it's self is wonderful.

Mae Govannen,

Ime Idril,
I am certainly not new to middle earth, but I am to this forum.
I hope to use this forum as a help for my further writing and study of Tolkiens work.
I write fan fiction, on lord of the rings fan fiction.
My hobbies are reading,writing,singing and music. I am a new zealander, of mostly English but a little scotch back ground. A tiny bit of Jewish blood in me too. Of which I am proud of :cool:

I have read the hobbit, LOTR,the sil and lost tales both 1 and 2.
I really enjoy explroing the people of Arda, their personalities and problems ;)

I do not plan to post very regularly on here, about once a week, but look for me!

Oh and I'm a Christian with very old fashioned world views, or so I'm told. :rolleyes: I agree!


~Idril Celebrindal~

Welcome to the forums Idril. Glad to have you here, and do enjoy. :D

Welcome Tar-Meneldur and Idril. I hope you both enjoy being dead.

Idril, if you enjoy writing, check the RPG section of this forum. :)

Welcome Idril. Enjoy it here.

I'm also a Christian, btw. :)

Hi! I'm also an old fan who's new here, although not Christian. Course, Tolkien was a staunch Catholic conservative himself :D I love his remark about his hippy fans, which I can't remember. Here's another one, since I can't find the one I want:
"Art moves them and they don't know what they've been moved by and they get quite drunk on it. Many young Americans are involved in the stories in a way that I'm not." ~On being asked if he was pleased by the enthusiasm of his American fans
