Chat Room - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Here's the deal. The movies have made Tolkien extremely popular, especially with the younger generation that likes to spend time on the net. It's just worked out that the Barrow-Downs chatroom has become a popular place for them to hang out. The average age in there is young teen I believe, and that's what you're seeing. That isn't to say anything bad about the kids, they're just acting like they are suppose to at that age, and most of them really like Tolkien, but, ya know.

As a result, the atmosphere doesn't make room for the intelligent and mature conversations you're looking for.

I know where you're coming from and it's a shame but nobody to blame (poet)
