I joined because I like to talk about LotR, and hardly any of my friends do. So know I can talk about tiny little details of the books and the movies and not get laughed at, well not most of the time.

I joined for several reasons. I love both the books and the movies. I happened to stumble accross this site the other day, and started reading some of the old threads. I was interested, so I read a bunch of them, and decided to join so I could take part in a thread if I wished. I didn't originally intend to become a member, but your discussions drew me in.

The reason why I joined is that some weeks before I had just finnished my anual LOTR reading, this resulting as allways in my having a Tolkien frenzie, during witch I bought 3 LOTR and 1 Hobbit computer game, 1 book conserning Tolkien's Inspiration and 1 of him. (Tales From The Perilous Realm)

After reading most of the 2 books I startet playing the games, when I finished the last game I was still craving for somthing Tolkien relatet and I startet searching on google for stuff and the first thing I found was The Barrow Downs.

What can I say, I have been hooked ever since

P.S. It was only the Forum that I found, I did not know about the main site for the first 3 weeks or so and 1 week later I found out there was I chat room. (who uses that? I never see any body I know! Almost that is)

Oh dear, I suppose it was all of the penetrating Legolas discussion that drew me in.

I saw the first film and became intrigued by the original story, though I actually saw the link to the main site on a different forum. Apparently, someone was really impressed with some of the fun tests and decided to spread the word. I found the forum via the main link and quickly realized that the level of discussion on here was through the roof. And I get my swooning done elsewhere, if you don't count the combined hotness of Bethberry and Squatter.

I joined back in Feburary because dear old Wilwa showed me this wonderful site. I also really love the books and movies which gave me even more reason to join.
