Greetings all.

I came across this site a while ago, but sort of forgot to register. Anyway, came across it again a few days ago and I have been reading some very interesting discussions, especially in the chapter by chapter section.

I've only been into Tolkien for about two years but the depth of the mans imagination and writing style amazes me.

Other interests include vintage scooters, music of most varieties, the seas and oceans - marine life etc, British comedy and possibly some other things that escape me at the moment.

I look forward to my stay here.

Good day. I am unfamiliar with most of the Lord of the Rings books, however I have them all, I just don't have the time. I have seen all the movies, but as of yet, have not been able to afford the third episode.

I hope to learn more about the background of The Lord of the Rings by reading this forum.

I am new at role playing on forums as well. But I hope that I will be accepted nonetheless.

~Thank you.

Welcome, also, to Oceanic, and anyone else I may have missed.

Cheers!

Welcome to the BD, Chaos. I never really cared much for Role Playing until I saw this site, the RP forums are just great.

Also, there is a movies forum for those who haven't read the books yet. I encourage that you do whenever you have the time . It's just nice having you, welcome!

Silmaril hi

if you love the movies the books will crush you. which ever order you read them JRRT's literary and imaginary genious is equivalent to einsteins quirkiness.
(if you understand what that means let me know cause I don't)

Silmaril I'm back!

Hello all. I haven't been here in about two months, but I'm back. I don't k now how much I'll be able to hang around, but I'll try to come more often. I even figured out how to use my avatar!
Actually, most of you probably don't remember me anyway.
Anyway, I'm off to lurk some more...

Galadel here...returning to Barrowdows at last! YEAH!! Finally I am able to find a break in my busy schedule of school, etc. to visit this beautiful place. It feels great to be back after so long. The place looks a little different, but still has the same homey feel about it, which is why I LOVE this web site.

WELCOME! to all newcomers to this site. Hope that you enjoy being dead!

Hello out there in TV Land!!

I have been a Tolkien fan for over 25 years. My interest has come and gone in cycles over the years but has remained pretty constant since the movies came out.

I have been a pretty active member of TTF (The Tolkien Forum) for the past year and a half. Several TTF people also belong to this community and they alway speak highly of it, so I decided to drop by for a visit.

I'm also hoping to run into my old friend Maedhros. He was a mentor of mine and a fellow Scholar.

And welcome, baragund! Maedhros is still here, although it seems he mainly haunts the "Translations from the Elvish" forum .. said forum quite frankly scares me a bit.

Thank you Boromir and Encaitare for the welcome It looks like this forum is even bigger than TTF. It's going to take a while to browse around and see what's here.

Looking forward to bumping into you around the neighborhood!

I'm a life long lover of all of Tolkien's works and have been visiting the Barrow-Downs for some time. Just recently I discovered this forum and jumped at the oppurtunity to join it. Already it has surpassed my expectations. I am extremely pleased and honored to be amongst devote fans of Tolkien who are knowledgeable of his works to the utmost extent.

Tolkien

Hi, all!

I have just registered in the BD, although I have been browsing through its threads for quite some time. Besides, I have met some of the BD's members elsewhere and I am now glad we will be able to possibly meet here as well.

I have to say that I am strongly impressed by the knowledge and the in-depth-understanding of Tolkien and his works that I find here!
I have been studying Tolkien for almost three years now but I still consider myself just a student, and as such I have a lot of questions, that, I hope, I shall be able to find the answers to here. So ... bear with me!
For ... sometimes I'm just being provocative, hoping that to look upon an issue from the "opposite corner", helps for the better understanding.

Happy to meet you all!

Lhunithiliel
(...which name I once got through the BD name generator... )

Thank you kindly, Boromir88 (so many Boromirs! )

I shall certainly soon find some courage to post a question or two of mine.

* * *

A question... though I appologize if this is not the place to ask:
How to change the "sub-name" under my forum-name? This "newly deceased" ... hmmm... doesn't appeal to me.
