Heh...I didn't get the no-inkling thing until just now...I feel slow... But the funny thing is that I saw your name the same day a girl in my English class was given the nickname 'Moink' so of course...

Anyway, many welcomes to Noinkling and Telperaca, and anyone else I've not yet welcomed!

Elfchick7 · 11-16-2004, 08:41 PM

Greetings friends! It seems that it has been forever since I last haunted the BD.

I can not believe that I stayed away for so long. The thing that I really love about the BD is that even though I seem to be perpetually ignorant to all things Tolkien( i.e. no matter how much I learn, I have still only scratched the surface of Tolkiens depth and detail), no body treats me like a fool for not knowing what seems toi be common knowledge.

Y'all are great! Namarië

Telperaca · 11-17-2004, 04:17 AM

Thankyou for the lovely welcomes

Elven-Maiden · 11-18-2004, 09:27 PM

Hello everybody!

I'm sure most of you don't remember me since it's been years since I've posted anything, but I've come back, and hopefully for good this time.

I'm hoping to meet lots of new people, and re-unite with any old friends who are still hanging around here. I'm missed this forum and all it's wonderful people.

rutslegolas · 11-19-2004, 08:12 AM

To our newcomers Welcome and to our old hands Welcome back - Albus Dumbledore.

And as Rowling says Welcome back Elven-Maiden

elronds_daughter · 11-20-2004, 07:22 AM

A very warm Welcome Back to Elven-Maiden and Elfchick7!

Cheers!

Durfuiniel · 11-21-2004, 04:22 AM

Hey you guys,
I just found this page and thought it would be great to register

Firstly I have to say I'm german, so please overlook my mistakes

'cause school english isn't enough for writing here I think...
I'm 16 years old, female and I love the Lord of the Rings for a very long time. It started very early when I saw the books on my father's shelf and I was fascinated by the minute.
I read them again and again and the same I did with the Hobbit, the Silmarillion and other Tolkien books.
First I read them in german but I think the originals are much better, especially better than the newer translation which is really really bad. The worst thing I ever read so I stopped reading after a short time and read the originals.
I hope you understand what I'm writing and it's not too wrong but I'll do my best*promis*

Lalwendë · 11-21-2004, 05:40 AM

Welcome Durfuiniel

I have to say, from reading your first post, your English is fantatstic, it quite puts my own stumbling attempts at German to shame.

Boromir88 · 11-21-2004, 06:57 AM

Welcome to the forum Durfuiniel, I hope you enjoy your levels of death here.

P.S. about the English, I'm afraid you're probably better at it then me. I have a tendancy to make up words that don't even exist.

elronds_daughter · 11-21-2004, 12:57 PM

Welcome, Durfuiniel! Your English sounds good to me! Hope you enjoy death in its various stages.

Cheers!

Elennar Starfire · 11-21-2004, 08:10 PM

It's alright, you're not the only person here for whom English is a second language. We'll be able to understand what you mean. And your English may improve greatly posting around here. Mine certainly has, and English is my native language!

A very warm welcome to Durfuiniel!

Encaitare · 11-21-2004, 09:15 PM

Hi and welcome, Durfuiniel! Your English sounds great to me! Hope to see you around the forums.

12-02-2004, 12:01 PM

Wow, I posted here in the fall of 2001 about a month before the first movie came out (under a different name that can't recall anymore, lol).

Hello to everyone, I'm prone to humor and lots of dry silliness and own a mini-oliphaunt that likes to follow me around the boards (unfortunately leaves mini-messes, ahem, for me to pick up too).

Soooo, (looks around room) where do I go for a pizza and beer around here?

Ah the Barrowdowns such a family friendly loving site.

Anyways Welcome to the downs Earthbound and may you enjoy death here as we do !!

I'm a newly registered, um, well, I don't know if that makes me a member, so I'm a newly registered person. I found this site through a google search reference to the "Translations from the Elvish" project, which really intrigued me, as I've been doing a small scale project of the same nature for the last two years (intermittantly). I hope I'm doing the right thing by posting here. I got kinda toasty at the only other discussion forum I've been a member of, and I hope I learned more about how to be a part of such a community. (That's not an indication that I am a troublemaker, I hope). The posts I've read here are all quite stimulating, articulate, and fun.

Well I'm not exactly a "new member" but I haven't been on since about April! I just wanted to re-introduce myself! I'm 22 and live near Seattle, WA but currently I'm in my senior year at Washington State University! I love Lord of the Rings and enjoy learning about the elvish language as well as the geography of middle earth. Feel free to chat with me, I'm friendly!

12-05-2004, 11:41 PM

Hey dol! merry dol! ring a dong dillo!
Ring a dong! hop along! fal lal the willow!
Tom Bom, jolly Tom, Tom Bombadillo!

Greetings, my merry friends!

My mother introduced me to The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings books in 1973 when I was 11 years old, and I've been a great fan ever since.

Although I received a copy of the first printing of The Silmarillion for Christmas in 1977, I confess that it was many years later before I read it in its entirety. However, I've now read it through about seven times and enjoy it more with each successive reading.

I've very much enjoyed Peter Jackson's film adaptations. He's accomplished what was previously thought impossible, and nearly proved so by Ralph Bakshi in the late '70s, that is, successfully bringing Professor Tolkien's works to the big screen. While I can't say I'm enthralled with every departure from the books, I do feel that, by-and-large, the films are fantastic. I'm very much hoping that he's also able to bring The Hobbit to the big screen.

the phantom · 12-06-2004, 01:40 AM

I don't like Cougars, so you'd better watch your step, Rochelle.
