Wow, I've led a sheltered life [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]. I love this board and wholeheartedly concur with all previous posters on that subject [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]. I don't have much experience of other internet boards and came across this by accident - I was looking for Tolkien-related websites and pulled up the Barrow-Downs, and never left. If the recent spammers are any indication, though, I haven't missed too much by not hitting a lot of other places.
A Barrow-Downs get-together would be neat [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]. We could do a Middle-Earth banquet or something like that (probably in the same vein as an SCA feast, just altered slightly to include potatoes and tea and all those nice things which medieval Europeans never had but hobbits did). Especially since I'd get to see whether the faces I've been picturing for each name are remotely close to the real articles....
