Hello everyone! I'm Arawethiel as you can see and this is the first forum I've ever joined. I've looked around here before in the past and I thought it would be fun to join. I don't know much about how this stuff works, but I'm sure I'll eventually get the hang of it. I look forward to talking with you all! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Hello there, Arawethiel. Isn't great to be dead and rotting?! I said earlier in this thread to post alot, but what I meant was to post well. Hopefully you can do both. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] Enjoy this lovely haunting layout!

Hello! I've been here before as bombadil, but in my absence that name has apparently been taken by someone else. I frequent another Tolkien board as well, but this one has by far the better discussions of serious book issues.
RL takes up far too much time for me to be a frequent post-er here, but I'll check in a few times a week and read the latest book threads. See you all around! |

Hello everybody. I'm so unbelievably ancient I read LOTR for the first time in the "first authorized paperback edition." (Ok, 1969, and I was 15 yrs old) The films, in my opinion, are an incredible achievement/translation from literature to the language of film (and there is a BIG difference). But they both stand up to repeated readings/viewings. And I wasn't nearly so moved by the Grey Havens scene at age 15 as I was at age...well, you do the math [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]!
Oh yes, and my first beloved cat was named Frodo...

Hello everyone newly deceased on this site.
Remember to read the faq (saves you questions and embarrassment) and post wisely. If you rate/pm me, I'll do the same for you (all about respect).

I actually had a question: are you allowed to have more than one account? Cause I'm not quite this new: I've been here for 2 months on another name. If this isn't allowed I'd be happy to give one of the accounts up, I was just wondering.

In answer to your question, Elvish Bostonian, accounts that are not used for a long period of time will be routinely deleted after awhile. It is best to use only one, since people get to know a nick and recognize the person's posts.

Hey Bunko and Sea Tiger! Welcome to the Downs!!! Enjoy yourselves and post well. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]
A word of advice, Sea Tiger, don't say too much about Orlando Bloom because some of the people here will get a little edgy if you do. I believe that there are certain threads just for the purpose of talking about him. Believe me, I am not putting you down. I love Orlando Bloom myself! [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]

Hi, my name (for the purposes of posting on this site) is edda, and I joined because...umm...there's a Led Zeppelin song playing in the background, and I really thought the cast of the movies was achingly sexy, and I like all the little sparkly things you can paste into the cool black background here, and...and...I'm easily confused and sucked into joining things online.
But it looks like a lot of fun here. [img]smilies/confused.gif[/img] |

Hi everyone! =D
I'm in the process of reading Lost Tales 1, and the best book ever was The Silmarillion. They need to make a movie, although who would play Lúthien is beyond me... *waves to forum* |

Lol, Izzy. Every time you come over you go on the BDs! I guess I'm kind of obsessed with this site. I spend lots of time on it. Bun unlike Izzy, I actually do other things in my spare time(sometimes)!

I would like to say hello to our newest member, lembasabmel. According to the voices in my head, he/she/it should be posting soon.
Also, I would like to welcome crazyinsaneaboutthering, who is, apparently, online. [ April 14, 2003: Message edited by: Eressië Ailin ]

Hiya! I'm _Lembas_, and you may know me from the chat. I finally made myself an account for the forum (I felt left out, all of the nicks in the chat would look like Galad|Forum or Nilt|forumizing). Surprisingly, a lot of the messages I read here were very teenybopperish. I was under the impression that the forum had mostly been purged of people like that, but ah well. You learn to live with it.
Want to know more about me? Of couse you do. I'm 13 and I think Bakshi's LotR is so sad it's hilarious. That movie led me to believe that Nazgul rode around on pegasus-type things and Celeborn was pronounced Keleborn (until my dad read me the book in 2nd grade, that is). I'm not that fond of Jackson's version either. He made Aragorn channel a lemming and hurl himself off a cliff! And the Arwen add-ins! Ugh. Everyone hates Glorfindel. And Bombadillo. AND the Downs. That's about it for now. Hope this message isn't too long. And another HIYA for all of you people who forgot I said it earlier. |

Much spare time do i waste here. And MUCH input did i learn about LotR in world and in readers opinions and facts.
Love this Forum, Barrow Downs is perhaps the #1 LotR info site, if it is not already. Welcome everyone else new! [ April 15, 2003: Message edited by: Novhloke ]

Should I say welcome or hello? Well, I joined about a month ago. I wouldn't say I'm very new, but then again, I never did post here when I joined. So how about I say hello and welcome! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Hello everyone, I joined yesterday and just found this. I am American but have lived in Europe for 7 years as a missionary kid. Hmm....whatelse am I supposed to say here?
I am nuts about names and enjoy genealogy and reading family trees (If that doesn't autimaticly make you realize I ought to love Tolkien you may not belong here). I read the Trilogy about every 9 to 10 months. Hope to get to know you. TT

Hi Novhloke, Arayáviëiel, edda, Galadriel's Slave (I'm also reading Lost Tales 1!), kittiewhirl1677, lembasabmel, Kain Snowbrace, Galenlasdur (don't worry, we will forgive you, for now! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]If in doubt, check FAQ and try the search engine. If you do that you will hardly ever get mean looks. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]), and Tinuviel Took! Welcome to the downs! Post well.

Well, I am back again.
You have no idea how eerie if feels to see newbies that I have welcomed become, like me, a welcomer. [img]smilies/eek.gif[/img] And then newbies that they have welcomed become welcomers!! Perhaps it is a little like having children and grandchildren and greatgrandchildren, with a lot less time having passed and so much less effort. [img]smilies/redface.gif[/img] Oh well. Welcome to every single person who has posted here since I was last here. I hope you enjoy your stay here, and, as no doubt you have been told before, I ask you to post well. I love you all.
