hello! i've been an LOTR fan for the past few years and have been looking for a LOTR forum to join, so here i am!

Firefoot · 02-20-2004, 09:29 PM

Welcome to the Downs, Sakalaru! As for which forum you picked - great choice. You picked the best.

You and all the other newbies - enjoy being dead!

Bekah · 02-23-2004, 08:28 PM

This is certainly interesting.

I'm not at all new, but I've been away for a long time, and the format has changed quite a bit.

Welcome to all you newbies!! Have great fun, but remember to respect everyone else and to post well.

Cheers,

Hello there. I'm new here but not to www.middle-earth.com (I don't know if that's advertising. Forgive me if it is) I have somewhere around 87 posts there. That's a big diffrence. I'm also a hobbit of the Shire. I've had a question: why are we dead when we're new?

Finwe · 02-23-2004, 08:56 PM

In the books, the Barrow Downs were inhabited by the ghosts from Angmar, the ex-realm of the Witchking. Since the ghosts were dead (obviously), we like to consider ourselves dead, since we are the current denizens of the Barrow Downs.

Fordim Hedgethistle · 02-24-2004, 12:04 PM

I've been posting for a couple of weeks now -- and lurking for months before that -- but I've only just stumbled on this meet and greet site. So, well, hello.

Still thinking about an appropriate avatar.

Nice to see my buddies Roa and Galadel in the forum -- *My Ladies* {bows}

Lindalirien O Lorien · 02-24-2004, 03:04 PM

Hi eveyone my name is Lindalirien and if I am not mistaken I think that means fair song maiden (If I am wrong please correct me). Well my real name is Jessica and I'm fourteen. I've come to this site for a long time but just recently came upon the forum. I love the Barrow Downs it's one of the best Lord of the Rings websites I have been to. I can actually talk about things that happen in the books, not just the movies which is a rare thing because all my friends only watched the movies and just briefly skim through the books

I have been a Tolkien fan since I was about nine, when I first picked up The Hobbit. I have read The Hobbit,all three Lord of the Rings books, I have read these all several times to try to fully understand them.Once I finish the current book I'm reading I am going to try to start The Silmarillion. I don't think I can call myself a true Tolkien fan until I have read that. Ok that's about all I have to say. Bye

Bekah · 02-24-2004, 03:40 PM

Wow. Just reading your post makes me breathless.

Welcome to the Downs, Lindalirien O Lorien. I hope you enjoy them immensely, though I'd advise you to watch out for those run-on sentences of yours.

Cheers,

~ Elentari II

This is from a few posts ago. Please take the time to read the other posts in a thread before you post, and we will take the time to read your post.

There are levels, and you get to them by posting a certain number of times. But remember that people appreciate posts of quality rather than quantity.

I hope you enjoy the Downs immensely, Nirvana II.

Cheers,

Nirvana II · 02-24-2004, 09:44 PM

Bekah · 02-24-2004, 09:48 PM

Don't worry about it. Just keep it in mind for the future.

There's a FAQ at the top of the Novices and Newcomers forum, which answers your questions about the levels.

Lhundulinwen · 02-26-2004, 06:01 PM

Hi everybody! My name is Lhundulinwen (or at least it is online!) I am a Freshman in High school. I really love to read, and LOTR is my newest (and most likely final reading obsession!!!) I really like English class and plan on writing a few novels and books of poetry. But then again, I like science too. So who knows.

Lalwendë · 03-03-2004, 04:04 PM

Another newcomer!

I've just registered so this seemed the right place to start.

I'm a long time fan - just about 21 years - I first read LOTR when I was 12, straight after reading The Hobbit, and I've been hooked ever since. Any more 'old-timers' out there? I'd put bets on it

At the moment I have mini-obsessions with the Rohirrim and Saruman, and my current occupation is irritating people who have no interest in the topic, by wittering on about Tolkien at every opportunity.

Please excuse me now if I make any mistakes, because no doubt I will. Now I'm off to see if I can stick my two-penn'orth into a discussion.

Imladris · 03-03-2004, 04:11 PM

Welcome, Lalwendë. I'm not an old timer myself, but there is a thread out there for all you people who have been reading LotR for eighteen years or more.

Here it is

Welcome to all you newly dead and enjoy the grave!

Cheers to all!

Istawen

03-04-2004, 03:02 PM

Hey everyone! My name's Cynan. Or Cynan Sam.

So... I'm new.

I haven't read the books, so I've been pretty damn desperate to get a copy. However, I'm reading The Hobbit.

And I'm looking around online to get knowledge on the series, until I save up enough money to buy the book. With the popularity of the movies, the books are all out in my local library.

So... don't be mean if I ask stupid questions.

The Mushroom · 03-06-2004, 02:34 PM

Hullo again! Looking at some of the posts above, I didn't realize that there were so many people my age on the Downs (but I guess that that shouldn't surprise me). I'm a 14 year old highschool freshman as well, and I'm also the only mushroom in the world who has bones!

Huzzah for newly deceased freshman! And for all the newbies! Remember, you're only dead once!

Annalaliath · 05-12-2004, 03:21 PM

Just checking in. Haven't been in the forums for awhile.

Sirithheruwen · 05-12-2004, 04:38 PM

Well, Lothiriel94, I take it you enjoy writing!

Come check out the Are YOu Writing Serious FAntasy Part II thread. It has quite a few interesting conversations, and you might be interested if you write fantasy. If you write FAn Fiction, there is also a FAn Fiction place on the 'Downs...basically, there's a place for everyone!

Have fun being dead! It's a blast!

Regin Hardhammer · 05-15-2004, 06:27 PM

Lothiriel94,

If you like writing, you may also want to check out the Shire and the Green Dragon Inn. You can introduce yourself in character and later join an RPG.

Welcome to the Downs.

~Regin

Child of the 7th Age · 05-15-2004, 06:55 PM

Idril, Quicksilver, Smeagol, Annalaliath, boomkittie,

Welcome (or welcome back!) to the Downs. Please do feel free to come down to the Green Dragon Inn in the Shire. Take a look at the Red Book of Westmarch and then come into the Inn to post.

I love LotR and have been lurking for a while. I read the book after the movie. I like them both, but I like the book the best.

Hope to see you around!

Hilde Bracegirdle · 09-15-2006, 10:12 AM

Yea, another book aficionado!

Welcome Kelvins, and make yourself at home.

Gil-Galad · 09-16-2006, 12:08 AM

welcome kevins and enjoy yourself here!

Bekah · 03-06-2004, 06:34 PM

Don't worry Cynan. There are many other Downers who haven't read the books. And most of us are nice people on the Downs. Welcome to our haunt!

And a warm welcome to Mushroom, too.

Cheers,

Ainaserkewen · 03-24-2004, 09:40 PM

Hello all newbies! I've been away for quite awhile because when the new systems went up for this site, my proxy system totally blocked it! Grrr.
I've said it before...if you have seen the movies and are attempting the books(or not) and you are confused/have questions, PM me. Seriously, I've been where you are. Not three years ago I was hounding bookworms for more information, then books now I'm on the Christopher Tolkien 12 book series. That man is a massiah to me. Anyhobble, like I said, any problems that maybe you're too lazy to look up in the great caverns of this forum, I'll either have the answer or know where to find it. This also applies to questions concerning this site...but maybe Moderators would be the best people to ask...though I do believe in Order of rank, so I'm always around.

I threw up a thread awhile ago(that sounds gross doesn't it?) about me making a Movie goer's FAQ essay. I'm still doing that and I'd really appreciate your questions. I can't remember my confussions back in the day...I've clouded my mind with too many books.

The Mushroom · 03-25-2004, 04:23 PM

Oooooh.... Silent Sam , did you get your name from the Redwall series? I like it! Anyway, welcome to the Downs!

Nirvana II · 03-25-2004, 07:12 PM

well, i've been told I'm not much of a big people person and that is should work on it, so here goes:Welcome to the Barrow-Downs........happy?????

Very

Thanks you guys
And yeah, that name's from Redwall; but it applies to the Sam in the LOTR for me...

Anyway, yeah PEI's great. Cold. But great in summer, especially on the warfs by my house

03-09-2004, 04:46 PM

Hey everyone! I am a new user in this forum. I have been a fan of the Barrow-Downs website for a long time, and now that it has a forum, I could spend even more time here!!

The environment seems nice, so I will start posting around.

A couple of questions though. Why couldn't I find this thread when I was looking for it? I there a "more threads" or "next" button I am missing?? I had to start one and it got deleted. I am confused, since the only way I seem to be able to find this thread is through a link...

Another question, how do I get an avatar??

Thanks

Imladris · 03-09-2004, 05:22 PM

First, the simple one regarding avatars. This link will help (FAQs) but I also know that the place to put the avatars is rather diffficult to find, so go to the user cpu and go to edit options and scroll all the way down. There you will have the option to change an avatar.

To find a thread in the forum, use the search function at the top right corner of the page. Or, if you wanted to do it the old fashioned, harder way, scroll to the bottom of the forum. On the bottom right there should be numbers that are links. These are the number of pages that this particular forum has. Just click through them until you find your topic.

Hope it helps!
Istawen

Bekah · 03-09-2004, 09:38 PM

Welcome, Anilorak!

I believe the Downs has had a discussion forum for a long time, but I'm glad you've found it now.

I think Istawen (Imladris) has answered your questions, but feel free to PM me if you have any more.

Cheers,

~ Elentari II

03-10-2004, 10:13 AM

It probably did have a forum fo a long time. However, since before the site was "cool", I visited it a couple of times, but then left it for a long time. When I recently came back to it, it had the forums. That's all I know.

Glad to be here, thanks all.

03-11-2004, 03:57 AM

Yeah... Well... I don't recall never having registered here in the past two years.. I even recall having done so... But well, it said I didn't...... So.. Um... Here I am.

Yiriandur, for two years I've visited the chat and the site, although I wasn't active on the forums.

17 years young, living in Holland, um.. yeah. what more is there to say? ^_^

Mariska Greenleaf · 03-11-2004, 09:33 AM

A warm welcome to all new people who have joined us here at our cold graves, makes the place a little warmer...

Hey, Yiriandur, where in Holland do you live? I'm from Belgium.

03-11-2004, 09:56 AM

I'm from the east of holland

nice to be here

Nirvana II · 03-11-2004, 10:04 AM

Anilorak Guest Posts: n/a	Hey everyone! I am a new user in this forum. I have been a fan of the Barrow-Downs website for a long time, and now that it has a forum, I could spend even more time here!! The environment seems nice, so I will start posting around. A couple of questions though. Why couldn't I find this thread when I was looking for it? I there a "more threads" or "next" button I am missing?? I had to start one and it got deleted. I am confused, since the only way I seem to be able to find this thread is through a link... Another question, how do I get an avatar?? Thanks

This link will help (FAQs) but I also know that the place to put the avatars is rather diffficult to find, so go to the user cpu and go to edit options and scroll all the way down. There you will have the option to change an avatar. To find a thread in the forum, use the search function at the top right corner of the page. Or, if you wanted to do it the old fashioned, harder way, scroll to the bottom of the forum. On the bottom right there should be numbers that are links. These are the number of pages that this particular forum has. Just click through them until you find your topic. Hope it helps! Istawen __________________ I'm sorry it wasn't a unicorn.

I believe the Downs has had a discussion forum for a long time, but I'm glad you've found it now. I think Istawen (Imladris) has answered your questions, but feel free to PM me if you have any more.

Anilorak Guest Posts: n/a	It probably did have a forum fo a long time. However, since before the site was "cool", I visited it a couple of times, but then left it for a long time. When I recently came back to it, it had the forums. That's all I know. Glad to be here, thanks all. Last edited by Anilorak; 03-12-2004 at 10:44 AM.
