Welcome Sadreen and Tar-Telperien!
And don't worry about the killer penguins Rune mentioned, they're all cute and cuddly, and tame.

Now that I am back, I thought I would drop in and say "hello again", and a welcome to all the new Downers. You will find in no time that it is extremely hard to stay away for a long time!

I'd like to offer a warm welcome to "an old member with a brand new name":Aaron.
I look forward to many controversial posts and invigorating opinions! And maybe even sussing out your former name!

Hail
Hi All
I am not a new member but it has been some time since my last post so I thought that I would reintroduce myself for the people who don’t know me. Forum Name is Alkanoonion, real name is Joseph I can be found when not staying in the Halls of Mandos here or in a little game called Guild Wars playing on various characters named after Middle Earth people. I live in Adelaide Australia When the feeling hits I work for the South Australian Government (when not on the net) I am single so if you are interested leave your resume (Girls Only) I will post a recent picture in the photo topic as soon as I can get one.

Yes welcome back. . .I guess you need no introduction to things.
I see we have another fan of a Barrow-Downs Dating-Site. . . . (Unfortunately it seems to be males that are most keen on the idea. . .I wonder why  )

Howdy folks,
Just discovered this site yesterday, and have mooched around a bit before making intros. Where to start? Well, I've been reading Tolkien for around 25 years now, since a friend gave me a loan of The Hobbit, have read most books at least twice or 3 times, and am a massive fan of the First Age material. I suppose I'm a bit weird in that I read The Silmarillion before Lord Of The Rings, and maybe weirder yet in that I don't actually object to CT's original material in The Silmarillion (in fact the Ruin of Doriath that he wrote is one of the most memorable and moving episodes in the book so far as I'm concerned). The "New Silmarillion" concept presented here is of major interest to me as I'd been playing with something similar in my own head for quite some time. Looking forward to having a few more good reads of material here, and would be very interested in finding any theories about the latter history of Maglor (another thing that stuck with me very strongly). By the way, I normally go by "mh" (which is just my initials), the "again" was just added to meet the minimum length requirements! Ta for now, mh |

Thanks all it’s great to be back,
Welcome to the Downs mhagain The Silmarillion is a great read; have you ever read HoMe or my old favorites Farmer Giles of Ham; and, The Adventures of Tom Bombadil? They are great to read to children. Anyway hope to see you around and please stop in at the Translations from the Elvish - Public Forum and share your ideas with us  Talking of the sil forum is lindil, HerenIstarion and Aiwendil still here in the Downs? edit I see Aiwendil is still here.

Cheers one 'n' all.
Yeah, I've read (and re-read many times) HoME, UT, and practically anything to do with the First Age stuff I can lay my hands on. Looking forward to the new book too. |

Hi
Hi
A friend of mine (Alkanoonion) who is also member here just showed me your site so with his help I decided to join up. I have been reading Tolkien for some time, starting in High School with the hobbit and have progressed to the stage that I now feel that I can positively contribute to the many fine discussions on your site. I also play Guild Wars with Alk and if you are a fan of the game you can message me in game or E-mail me Hope to chat with you all at length in the future. |

I can't beleive I have never found this site before!
Hi
You can call me Grok, I'm in year 11 (15-16) and I live in Coventry the UK. I first read the Hobbit when I was about 6 and I have been a Tolkien fan since. I have read the Hobbit, LoTR, Unfinished Tales and Silmarillion and I feel I have enough knowledge of Tolkien ad his works to join this site. I have been a member of Tolkien communities, especially forums, since 2000. After the release of RoTK most of the forums I was on began to lose member and by 2004 many forums were dead and forgotten. I indeed myself began to lose interest in LOTR and have only recently rekindled my interest in the great works after coming across my books in the bottom of a cupboard. As for how I found this site? I was googling Imrahil and their was a member on this forum of that name and it came up with his profile. I hope you will all welcome me in your little community (or should I say big) and I hope to speak to you all soon. Grok- you’re local Communist. |
