Hi friends-
I've known about this site for a while, but only recently started coming here often. Geez, I thought I knew a lot about Lord of the Rings before, but holy crap was I wrong! Thanks for opening up a whole new dimension of Tolkien knowledge for me! To many memorable discussions, debates, and comic fiascoes in the months to come. *toast*

Hi! I am tachnically new to Barrow Downs, but I was a member here some eons ago.
I am Forest Walker, also known across the web as Gaia, or Forest Dweller. So, here I am again, after being absent from lotr-obsessiveness for a long time, i saw a link to this site somewhere, so i decided to check out if anything had changed. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] Oh, and don't worry if i make no sense sometimes, I have a habit of going very silly if i ingest chocolate or caffeine (so basically evry day) [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Welcome forest walker person. and all the rest of the newly dead. I have taken to heart to post seldom and not to get all excited over the rank under your screen name. The only place I will post everyday is in real good discussions or in the RP bords. Poi and the rest of the mods do a great job and need to be respected. If Poi(poisonel[sp?) does a save for you or edets your post don't get balistic, it is for your own good. Not to mention before you you even travers into the inn you should have already read the rules in the Red book. But like I have stated before, give the mods what they want, and don't hate them and especially don't flaim them or anyone else! Have fun but not at someone elses expense and please post intelagently.
And by-the-way it is two taps of the enter key to make a seperate paragraph not one. Annalaliath

Greetings All
I have known about this forum for sometime now but I never really had the time to join, but look here I am. I am quite eager to start posting in all the forums but most of all the books (I am only fourteen and I fear the discussions might be a bit advanced for me, but hey its worth a try)! I enjoyed Tolkien’s works such as The Hobbit, The Lord of the Rings and best yet Silmarillion (Then again I enjoyed all the books he wrote, that is the one's I've read)! |

Welcome to everyone new ever.
Enjoy your time here, hopefully it will be long (unless you find a way to un-die yourself). For your avatar, just click on "my profile", which is in the top right-hand corner. And then "View/Update profile" then scroll down until you find "Your Picture" where you put the URL in.

Having fun playing with you, *Arwen* sweetie. Hope to see you ever more around there.
Finafyr, welcome - I do like your name. Sounds sort of delicate, yet fiery. I like very much. As for being a Tolkien-lover...well, you're in good and plentiful company here! Eleriina - (the same goes for Finafyr for your name, lovely.) Have a try at the books - you may be surprised. The discussions are generally interesting for all, no matter what age (I am also 14 [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] ). Don't feel restricted to one forum though - most all of the sections in the barrowdowns are good *cough*RPGing*cough* [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] Forest Walker - nice avatar. An old member, huh? Well, at least you'll know your way around! And as for getting silly under the influence of caffeine or chocolate...ah, I see several people over there who will be glad to make your acquaintance! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] Unwashed Hobbit - lol, I like the name. Hmm, stinker... Elaron - nice sig, thoughtful, and true. As for knowledge - you'll also find yourself in good company, and I'm sure your knowledge and quest for it will be welcomed. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] Ughosh - as Tarien said, wow, fearsome name! *clinks glass against Ughosh's, careful not to knock over the bloodstained axe nearby* [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

I've been lurking here for a while, but decided to start participating. I'm long-time LOTR/Hobbit/etc. reader, reading them all at least once a year, so I'm no "Novice"...

Um, Hi,I'm Elwen, I just joined, a little lost, but it looks nice here. I've read the books during the past year, including the Silmarillion, and I've become a big fan. I hope to enjoy my time spent here. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Vanaelda, check your PMs. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
Rick - ah ha, a lurker! Well, novice or no, welcome to the Barrowdowns as a full time member. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] Elwen starmaiden - another lovely name. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] Little lost? Try the RPG rooms (The Shire, Rohan, and Gondor) for something a little different, especially if you like writing (and if you think you don't, I'm sure we can bring you around! [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] ) Also, the Barrowdowns section is good for rather random topics, and its a place where you can get to know other barrowdowners better and make yourself better known. -Aman

Greetings, fellow humanoid life forms! I am Maethorien. I am also slightly insane, in case you hadn't noticed. I have loved Tolkein since I first read Lord of the Rings, though I only really became obsessed this summer.

Greetings
I am a fourteen year old newbie here (a girl incase you would like to know)! It is great to finally belong to a forum that is worth belonging to. It looks like a great forum that is fun but serious. I mainly joined the site for the RPG’s but I am sure I’ll enjoy the other forums. I most certainly will see you all around! ~ Séreméla ~ |

you are within my realm - lol, well, an original name! Welcome, you are within my realm (woah, bit of a mouthful... [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] ) Maethorien - ah another pretty name... Quote:

Hello people and creatures of Middle Earth.
I am new to this forum but not to LOTR. I am very interested in getting into some good discussions about LOTR. I know a fair amount about Lord of the Rings for a teenager. I was interested in it before the movie was even thought of. I chose to be Gimli because if i had been put in that book, there would be an exact resemblence to me and Gimli Elf-friend, Son of Gloin. I am interested in learning more about everyone in here so send me an email. |
