Hi,
Greetings to ya! No doubt I am going to make many mistakes because I am new to online crowding (surprisingly we had no Internet where I come from).
I like the look of this Forum and am glad that you accepted me as a new member.
Lord of the rings is amazing, and I am a great fan of all the Tolkien books (especially The Silmarillion and the Hobbit) as well the films and the whole lot of Merchandise (luv the Action figures).
My Hobbies are reading, writing, making Music (piano, guitar and the harp), customizing models, gardening and collecting weather data from 30 years ago (I´ve got a nice collection of cumulus clouds).
Well there is actually Little else that might interest you, except that I am working as a freelancer and I am quiet good at cooking (in case we should ever meet as friends).

That´s it,
yours sincerely
MM

It's agreed, then - the next Barrow-Downs moot will be held at your place!

Welcome, and enjoy being dead.

Oh, nothing terrible. I'm just really busy with school and everything else.

Morgy asked a question about PMs which is probably going to be asked again, so I'll answer it here.

Down at the bottom right-hand corner of the PM, there are two boxes: forward (which is bigger), and quote. Click on quote; if you don't want to keep the quote of the PM you're replying too, just delete it.

Does that make sense?

Anyway, a hugely warm welcome to everyone new.

Oh, and I'm going to try to get Alk to put up my pirate pic as well in the Downs Photo Gallery...

Congratulations, Morgy. PPCing is a noble career in the fanfiction world.

Lots of love to everybody,

Hello all! I'm new here. I have a question. How do you get the avatars to download? I tried putting one in, but it said the URL wasn't right, even though it was a jpeg.
I usually hang around at tolkienonline, but this place looked fun, too, so I decided to give it a try.
Anyway, I'll probably be back sometime tomorrow. Namarië!

hey. Im Isowen (which is my name in elvish) and I've been on this site for ages but I've just joined the whole forum thingy. It looks like lotsa fun! I love everything to do with lotr, but particularly elves, as I think they're so interesting and magical and I think Galadriel is the most interesting elf i've ever heard of!

What she said.

Welcome everyone. If your question still wasn't asked satisfactorily, Nuindacilien, ask one of the mods, like Estelyn Telcontar. It probably was, because Immy usually knows what she's doing, but just in case.

Or you could try downloading the jpg to the net. I use www.villagephotos.com, but that's because I don't know anywhere better.

Cheers,

~ Elentari II

Thank you Immy and Elentari. I tried again, and it didn't work, so I'm just giving up. I can live without an avatar. It's not the end of the world.
Elentari, I tried the villagephotos thing, too, but it's not working yet either. I think my connection is slow (I still have dial-up).\
Thorongil: I was wondering the same thing. I don't know why it only shows that I've posted once. Maybe it will change after I post this.
Well, I'm off to try the avatar thing again!

Welcome Marien, or Jesse, whichever you prefer. I'm sure you'll find your way around soon and feel like an oldie in no time! We're all pretty friendly, and if you're unsure about something feel free to PM me. I can't promise I'll be much help, but you can PM me all the same.

I'm actually fairly up-to-date atm, so I can call newcomers by their first names.

Because I think this is a recurring issue, if one wishes to reply to a PM click on the 'quote' button down at the bottom.

Cheers,

~ Elentari II

White-Hand Greetings

Greetings fellow Tolkien fans, I have been looking around the Barrow Downs now for some weeks and finally decided to join.

I have been reading Tolkien’s works for around 20 years now and in that time I have built up a nice collection of books based on Middle Earth. I have an extensive library starting with my favourites the Sil, hobbit, LOTR, HoMe; I also have many books written by other authors on Tolkien works. I hope that over time I can share my love of Tolkien with you all.

Hi, Namo Mandos! Welcome to the Downs. With a name and avatar like that, you fit in perfectly.

I'm also a long time book collector. The stuff sure piles up over the years!

Come down and introduce yourself in character at the Green Dragon Inn in the Shire. We'd love to see you.

Thanks child of the 7th age, the avatar is actually an illusion; can you see the other image?

you can see the large image here

do you see a couple or a skull? Have a look at the large version of the picture the link is above.

I'm not really a new member, but I'm coming back (or trying to)! I have school and homework and all that stuff. I was the first student of the week in the school year 04-05. I'm so excited. Well, forgive me for my ignorance for I am from Tennessee and have only seen the hills.

Goodby y'all!

P.S. I highly recommend going to the Festival of Cultures in Cleveland, TN ( sorry, not Ohio) on Saturday, Semptember 18, 2004.

P.P.S. Please remember all of the people who died 3 years ago on 9-11 and our troops in Iraq. May God be with you.

I'm not a newcomer to this site, but I am to the forums. I am a devoted fan to Tolkien. I am fascinated with lotr weaponry, and have been reading about it for about three years. I am a fan of poetry also. I've read a bit of Shakespeare, but not a lot. My favorite play is A Midsummer Night's Dream. I detest anime. I like gaming and art. I am an ametuer graphic design artist and have been interested in graphic design for about a year. I am fascinated with Celtic culture. Anywho, I love this sight and shall post here every day until the day I die (I hope).

Greetings all.

I came across this site a while ago, but sort of forgot to register. Anyway, came across it again a few days ago and I have been reading some very interesting discussions, especially in the chapter by chapter section.

I've only been into Tolkien for about two years but the depth of the mans imagination and writing style amazes me.

Other interests include vintage scooters, music of most varieties, the seas and oceans - marine life etc, British comedy and possibly some other things that escape me at the moment.

I look forward to my stay here.
