Chat Room - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Believe it or not, there are good, intelligent Tolkien discussions on the chatroom. They're just not happening all 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. It seems to me that a lot of people visit the chatroom once, see that no one is talking about Tolkien at that exact minute, and then give up and leave. A better way to go about it might be to have a Tolkien topic on hand when you go in... you'd be surprised how many people actually want to intelligently talk about Tolkien if there's a topic.

Of course, the alternative is to just have a lot of patience; there is a fair bit of silliness that goes on...
