Hi all! I've recently discovered this wonderful message board, after having visited The Barrow-Downs for quite some time. I'm really enjoying myself on this site, and I plan to stay here!

Hy, everyone!
I've been visiting this site for quite a while now, but I'm the kind of "stay-in-the-shadow" surfer. I grew tired of loneliness (no elf likes it [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] ) and decided to brake the silence when I began marching to Rivendell! So, here I am! By the way, I was wondering how old are people around here? I have this feeling that I might be a "veteran"(a clue: I'm a student!) Well, of course! I'm an elfmaiden, aren't I!

I thank all for the wonderful hosptiality while I discover the ways of this awesome place. I must admit one has the tendancy to be overwhelmed when first visiting.

Welcome, Lor Stoneeyes!
I agree, it is intimidating for awhile when you're new at the Downs, but everyone here is committed to wonderful discussions about a shared passion: the works of Professor Tolkien. I, too, would like to thank everyone for being so helpful and kind during my first few weeks here! Once again, welcome Lor! Read Fora guidelines, post well, don't annoy the mods, and you'll have a blast! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] Peace

I will add my thanks to yours. It is very rare that one comes across such excellent websites like this one.

Welcome Lor Stoneeyes, and do what Earwen said. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]
Likewise Varda. Though I would advise you to drop the chat language, as everyone, especially the mods, like to read proper sentences. Also you might have to watch out for double posting, because it is easy to do so unwittingly. (Your introduction post, for example.) [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] And I am pleased to see your interesting and intelligent posts, Finwe. They are a pleasure to read. This is what we all like, and something I didn't achieve in the first few months of my initiation. [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img] Good on you! Cheers, ~ Elentari II

If you have any questions about the site, feel free to PM me. Reading the FAQs for each of the forums helps too, but that can get a bit tedious and confusing.
Welcome to the Downs! I hope you enjoy your afterlife.

Salutations my friends. I might appear to be new, but that is only because it is just recently that I joined officially. I have been reading and observing this forum since it's anniversery party. I'm a golden friend of Ainaserkewen who got me hooked. I love Tolkien, his ideas and his books. The movies are okay, but nothing tops the books, am I right? Anyway, I will fill out a bio sooner or later, but in the mean time, I'm going to be getting into the RPGing here, and bugging my golden friend. Be seeing you all soon when I respond to your threads,
Good posture and fair health, -Moods of the Earth |

Hi, I'm new and my big sis (Holbytlass) is teaching me the ropes so if I mess up it's all her fault! [img]smilies/evil.gif[/img]
I'm glad to be dead here and will enjoy my stay.

Hello,

Lasgalen, Welcome!
If after reading the fora guidlines you still have questions or problems that are non-Tolkien related, PM the mods or another member. They should be more than happy to help out. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] Also, remember to use the search function before starting a new thread, because if there is already a thread dealing with that subject, yours may be closed. Enjoy your time here! Peace

Oh, just so you know, I am not referring to "The Books" forum, but the books themselves. If I have to pick a favorite forum, it would be the RPGs, some of those people should be pros.
Thanks for the welcome my people, I hope I fit in here amoug the dead. |

Hello Fellow Borrow-Downers
My name is Imiriegil (Jewelled Star). I am a huge Tolkien fan and I enjoy reading his works. I enjoyed the Lord of the Rings and I can not wait for the Return of the King to come out. I am sure I shall enjoy Barrow-Downs. Namarie [ May 30, 2003: Message edited by: Imiriegil ] |

Ok, I guess I have to say something too... Hi! My name's Aredhel Idril Telcontar (but I guess you already knew that [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]) I'll try to post well and be good. I'm not really new to Barrow-Downs, but I only decided to join the forum now. I hope you all won't be too hard on me [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]
