Heyy everyone!!! Im new to the downs and I just wanted to say hi to everyone. Wilwa just introduced me to this AWESOME site a few weeks ago and Ive just been waiting for the e-mail from the adminastrators so I can come on. Anyway, on a less boring topic, LotR ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!! I watched the first movie first, but after I saw it and found out that there were books, I wanted the books soooooooo badly. I read the first four books and now I just need the others. I guess this is a long enough introduction post, so I'll see you all later!!!!!!!!!!

Well Wilwa, I guess it probably was getting really annoying, me telling
you almost everyday that I didn't get the e-mail  yet, but it didn't mean you had to haunt me in my sleep everyday. I bet you don't even know how I died. I'll tell you some other time because I have to go do something. Anyway, I will enjoy my death, thank you very much. Good day to you!!!!! Glirdy |

Sweet! I wish I had a Legolas T-shirt. Saw one labeled "Orlando's Chick" once, but it's not the same at all.
Happy Posting.

Hi! I am the new Assasin, the old one, who is my friend, decided to let me use this user. I wish she would have chosen a more LOTRy name though.

Hi there Assasin and let me be the first to welcome you to the 'Downs!!!! Hope you enjoy your death as much as I am (and I hope your grave is comfier than mine) and just out of curiosity, how did you die? I died by spears stuck in the ground in a hole that was near a mountain. It wasn't fun, I'll tell you that much. Anyway, hope you enjoy your death!!!!!!

Hello my name is Wayne and I am new to the Downs! I have seen all three movies and read the Hobbit. I haven't gotten the chance to read the LotR books. But I will! My older sister was the one who got me on this site. I'm not an expert on the LotR so if I say something wrong please correct me and I am sorry if I ask to many questions. I'm very happy to be here.
* WaynetheGoblin * P.S. My sister is Wilwa if you were wondering. |

Took me a while before I could post. It wouldn't let me all day yesterday but then I checked my email and there was a message about activation. I felt pretty dumb.
 It's nice to see I'm not the only new person. I don't feel so alone. If I do something wrong everyone jump on me so I don't do it again, okay?

Thank you for the welcome. I'm glad you like my name.
*blushes* I'm going to go check out the movie forum now. And where did everyone find their pictures (the ones by your names)? Where do you go to get one?

The pictures are called avatars, TPotSS - everyone has a different one. You can find them from basically anywhere, usually people find them on the internet. If you look in the FAQ, you can find out how to get one beside your own name
What does your name stand for, by the way, just out of curiosity?Wayne the Goblin - ..what can I say? Damn classy name, my boy, damn classy name! Welcome to the Downs.Assassin - erm...welcome? Or should that be welcome back? Most confusing...

Welcome to the Downs Huan, Glirdan, Assasin(again), Wayne, and TPotSS (cool name by the way)! I hope your deaths were gruesome!
It seems Wilwa is doing well in finding new recruits.

Hello, Middle Earth lovers! I am Mumak o' Harad and I am a Brazilian fan of Tolkien.
As many of you, I have only acknowledged Tolkien's work after the release of the first movie (after all, Brazil is a Portuguese language speaking country and we have a vast literature in our own language which concerns to our particular culture). Notwithstanding, I was astounded by the inconceivable world and characters created by Master Tolkien and after watching "The Fellowship of the Ring", I decided to get deeper into the story and read the Portuguese translation of the first book, but I was a bit disappointed, because the translation is terrible (they even changed the names of the characters/places, for example: Rivendell is "Valfenda", Strider is "Passolargo" can you believe it?) and, therefore, I decided to buy the original English books and was delighted to read them. I am reading them for the second time and I have been anonymously visiting the Barrow-downs for some time and loved the high level discussions (especially the Chapter-by-chapter threads). I hope I can join you (despite my bad english, of course) and learn more from Tolkien and his state-of-art books. Best regards, Mumak o' Harad

Welcome, Mumak - and all other recent newcomers! It's very interesting to hear of your experience with the translation of the Lord of the Rings, and if you can read it in English, your linguistic abilities are excellent! You're not alone on the forum; there are quite a few international members whose native language is not English, and it's wonderful to have the unique point of view each of them brings to the discussions here. I hope you'll enjoy yourself and post away; don't worry about little mistakes - the more you practice, the better you'll get!

Welcome, Mumak o' Harad.
I just wanted to say not to worry too much about your English being substandard. Your above post was as fine as pretty much any native speakers, and better than some. Sad as it is, quite often those who speak English as foreign language do better in these forums than those for whom it is their native language, due in the main, I suppose, because they take better care to write it properly than those who deal with it every day.

Cool. Let me be the first to welcome you to The 'Downs Orodruin. Hope you enjoy your death and grave (or hate it. All depends on how you died in my opinion.)
