Calathanien, it wasn't your imagination. I think the language forum was incorporated into the Books forum; it isn't gone, it just got ... assimilated.

Well we can't see many members online all at ones , is as you folks said is the time-zone. Well I will add to it and say that this does exist , because I live in India and its about 12 hours behind or ahead something USA time,so when I am online there are about at maximum 22 members online and that's frustrating cause you cannot discuss your RPG's and all the other threaqds and you cannot make any friends except the 22 people who are online .

i just like to read what other people have to say and let my knowledge of tolkien grow.

i am guilty of lurking. but because of the time differences, most things are poted then answered by the next time i get on. so i generally read and let my knowledge grow. though i haev to admit that yes, i came here because of the movies, but reading the many questions and answers, my intrest inthe books grew, so now im reading the histories books.

I also tend to lurk, albeit unintentionally. Often I'll only post when I feel like I have something to contribute that hasn't been said already by somebody much more articulate than I am. Since there are many intelligent, articulate folks on this site, I often just end up casually reading what's being said by others, occasionally contributing my two-cents-worth when I feel it might be helpful. Huzzah to lurkers!

Seriously, wouldn't you rather have me lurking if I had nothing more constructive to say than "Legolas is sooooooooooooooooo hot"?
