I suppose it is hypocritical of me to agree that there should be a tolkien connection since my first two mod games didn't - however they were in the early days when the players were all primarily Downers rather than werewolfers.

Given that anything off topic is given short shrift elsewhere in the forum it jars rather when you see a host of unfamiliar players and a non-Tolkien themed game... I could understand it if the Admins did feel like that since they are providing a free venue to people who don't contribut to what is a Tolkien site. Of course there are keen werewolfers who do make contributions to the site as a whole and I'm not anti newcomers but it seems that werewolf has moved from being the social side of a serious site to being an end in itself and that is perhaps detrimental to the forum.
