Welcome, Nurvilya! If everyone who had nothing to say posted as briefly as you have, reading on the forum would be much more interesting! [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] Enjoy yourself here!

Hello. I'm new too...like the rest of the people here!

I'm a self-dubbed Tolkienite and have read the 1st, 3rd, 5th, and 7th books in the History of Middle Earth...plus the obvious two in the Tolkin world. The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit.

Don't worry Lady Kate, I was slow to start doing anything until one day I plucked up my courage and joined an RPG [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img].

Welcome everyone else who has proclaimed themselves new since I last posted

And while I'm at it Happy new year (just 35 minutes to go!)

Welcome! And get reading those books, **sparkle fairy**, and make it your New Years Resolution to finish them soon! Welcome to all you other recently deceased. Have fun at the Barrow-Downs. 4 hours and 45 minutes before New Years over here. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Hello, I will refrain from saying the obvoius. I am a self-proclaimed obsessor, and am searching for everything Tolkien wrote. (I have the LotR trilogy and the Hobbit, but not anything else.)

Wow! Cool to see all the new members. Howdy everyone.

Just one point though. Here at the Barrow Downs we don't use chat spellings and run together sentences. We like to do things the way Tolkien did, using good writing and good English.

If you do this, more people will want to read your posts. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Hi all =) I'm Aerlinn, obviously new.. as I wouldn't be here if I wasn't.. I'm new to this board, but not to message boards (I also post at the Musings of Viggo boards, if anyone else is familiar.. I'm Ani over there though) so.. yep =) I'm 17 years old, avid fan and fanfic writer (maybe not so avid, but I am currently working on one, so does that count? lol) I've read.. all of LOTR and almost all of the Silmarillion, and I'm madly in love with all of them.. hehe.

Hi!

hullo! Im new (obviously! [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img] ) so thought I'd drop in here and introduce myself before wandering off to post in a bit. I've been a member in various other Tolkien related discussion forums before, but its great to finally find one that hasnt got masses of spammers/nonsense posters everywhere! So far, it looks pretty impressive, so I look forward to reading all your posts!

Namaarie!

I'm new to this site, but have a very extensive knowledge of Tolkien's works...I've read everybook o' his 'cept the Language one. I've been on the channel in mIRC for a while and there I was told that there was a website and forum. So, I decided to see what it was all about and ended up joining. Throrin Greyhammer's me name, and if you cannot tell, I am a Dwarf. Though, I do believe that Elves are not horrible and do have some purpose in ME, but contrary to most people's belief, Dwarves are much, much, much better craftsmen and smiths than elves.

I'm very new to Barrow Downs. In fact this is my first post. I am sort of a refugee from another forum. *thanks my fellow newbie who suggested this place* and am impressed by the more "intelligent" discussions here.

I hope to make some friends here, and am looking forward to becoming more familiar with this board.

BTW.. Are there alot of folks from the U.K. in here? [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] Maybe I might run across a few old mates. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Hi
I'm Sindae. I LOVE this site, especially the name generator (that's where I got Sindae from...) and the location finder. I've read the LotR, the Hobbit and the history of middle-Earth volume 7 and I really like them.
