No, seriously, though. You wanna know what my real intention is? Guess away!

Actually, it is the rare distinction of the Downs that we are far more tolerant of all those Movie-lovers with their love of the movies* than of Off-Topic. The Downs has no Off-topic forum or off-topic threads--though from discussion to discussion, and especially subforum to subforum (Books and Mirth represent the extremes, I'd say) there are degrees of elasticity--not every thread is hyper-focused, but no matter what the forum, stray too far and the Chat Skwerls will come warning...






*Translation also can be read: "those movie-haters with their hate for the movies"

I don't understand movie haters for LotR, but I'm definitely onboard with The Hobbit critics.

Hate may be too strong a word but personally I think just aboit every character in the film save Boromir was diminished and they missed the whole point of the book by leaving the Shire completely unaffected by the War of the Ring. It looked about right and some of the casting was great . I also find it too boring to rewatch though it was enjoyable enough in an actual cinema. As a film itvwas ok.. as an adaptation a curates egg.

Hello Everybody!

Hello everybody!
I am a new member. King Naugladur is my screen name, borrowed from my favorite character from the Book of Lost Tales. I am a fan of Dwarves and everything Dwarvish. May your beards grow even longer!

The Return of The Dank Lord of Bad-odour

'I'm a newbie honest' said narfforc, as he tried to slide back in under the radar.

'No you jolly well aren't, and you know it' replied The Witchy-king of Wagner, Lord of the Ring-cyclists and Morgue-lord of Minus Piffle.

'But does not visiting for umpteen years not count then?' asked narrforc.

'NO!, now go away' roared Coughsmog The Lord of the Labdogs of Mortcough.

'I'm going to set my friends on you lot' replied narfforc.

'Friends, don't make laugh' giggled Smog the Lonely Dragon of Errorbore.

'Starting with you worm, Throbin Oakenhead son of Thrown son of Throb, and his gang, want a word with you, and you Witchy-king better watch out for Earwax daughter of Earnaught sister of Earmore' said narfforc as he scarpered .................... now who shall I annoy next he thought.

Hey, I several someones mentioned this forum at Oxonmoot, so here I am!
I first got into Tolkien with the LOTR films (I was 5 at the time) and since then seem to have "accidentally" read far too many books far too many times.

(I wasn't at Oxonmoot, but I'm really happy that the Downs had a strong enough representation to draw your attention!)

I've been attending Oxonmoots for some years now, and I think 2007 was the first one at which we were graced with shades from the Downs. I considered this visitation (and the subsequent ones - every year since, I think - were some of you at Christ Church?) such an excellent and happy phenomenon that I eventually became undead myself.

The first time I met Downers at a Tolkien Society event was at the big conference in 2005 in Birmingham ("The Ring Goes Ever On"). Incidentally, it took that trip across the water for me to actually meet members of the German Tolkien Society as well and to subsequently join it. Since then I've attended Oxonmoot a number of times, including the one in Christ Church.

At the moment circumstances are such that I can do very little travelling, alas, but in keeping with my nick I do hold on to hope that there will be opportunity for many meetings in the future! (I already have some fabrics for costumes that need to be made and shown... )

Another somewhat belated Welcome to the Downs, TilloW! Enjoy being dead! This place is not as populated these days as it used to be (and some who haunt it are not as vociferous, mea culpa), but you'll be hard pressed to find a nicer bunch of Tolkien nerds anywhere. Or a nicer bunch of people.

Hello!

My name is Eowyn and I am a new Tolkien fan. I just got into it this past summer. I never gave it a try until this year, but I am glad I did. Now I drive my friends and family nuts with my obsession!

I am also a freshman in high school, yay.

Hi Eowyn! Welcome to the Downs, and to the fandom! Funny, I also became obsessed with Tolkien and joined the Downs when I was a freshman. Must be something to do with needing Tolkien at that stage of your life.

Thank you all for the welcome! I was a little nervous about posting for the first time, so now I feel more comfortable.

1420!

I welcome you as well, Eowyn-of-Rohan! No reason to feel shy, we're all pretty well-behaved wights around here. I still remember that phase of fresh obsession vividly, that urge to tell all the world about this fascinating other world you've just discovered. If only there had been a place like the Downs, and an easy way to find it, back in the Seventies, I'd have felt a lot less like a freak sometimes. However, I babble. Enjoy being dead!
