Without question.

How curious , and with such a dark motif.

where else can a wanderer of this world find such breadth? such depth?

or a Silmarillion canon and theories section all for our own ?!!
yea ,even more without the option of polls! <img src=smile.gif ALT=":)">


All Praise to the Chief Wight!!!


I am inspired to amend my brand new custom signature for the occasion .

Re: 10 k

Congratulations again, Wight, on a first class site! I notice that Mithadan is now sporting a new custom moniker, as well. Congrats, Mith! The milestones just keep piling up.

Would it amend my rudness with regards of no-Tolkien posting if I add that she's called Beruthiel?

PS she is not, to be frank :smokin:

And yes, we're all completely mad. But at least we haven't gotten to the stage of insanity of singing Monty Python songs loudly (after all, that wouldn't be Tolkien - perhaps we should start reciting the poems loudly instead).

Wow. Although I was rather looking forward to another speech such as the one you made at 5k posts, Ron. I s'pose there's not much to add, though, is there? We are a brilliant board!

Great title, Mithadan. Second downser to reach Ghost-Prince of Cardolan before getting your own title, I think (the other one wasn't me, by the way <img src=smile.gif ALT=":)"> ).

Apart from a few snotty offerings exchanged between Saulotus, me and the barrow-wight concerning music <img src=wink.gif ALT=";)"> , we are really sticking to the point. We must be just about the only board to do that! And Ron's the creator of it all! Such dedication.

As Gwaihir loves to remind us, in our earlier days I handed out Personal Titles with less discretion. But that was because very few people had Personal Titles and I thought it might be nice to spice the place up a bit. This doesn't mean that those people weren't deserving of such a distinction. They certainly were. But if they had been in today's environment they would have all waited until their 500th post, too.

We should be #1, too. I find the fact that Planet-Tolkien frequents the top space unfathomable.
