Greetings and salutations Orodruin. If you are looking for a broader view of Tolkien's books, or Jackson's movies, I assure you this is the place.

Gil-Galad · 03-01-2005, 07:21 PM

...or if you want to peek into the daily things of our minds, warning: its bad for the digestion!

welcome btw Mountain of Fire

Encaitare · 03-01-2005, 09:18 PM

Welcome, Orodruin! Have fun being dead.

Halbarad · 03-02-2005, 03:24 AM

Hi all. Back after a few year absence. I left shortly after the FotR came out in theatres, for reasons that may be guessed at. Now the furor has died down, so I'm back. Sad to see some of my buddies left at around the same time and haven't returned (Heren-Istarion where are you?).
Looking over the various threads I see things are largely back to normal, apart from everything being far more awesome than it was when I left.
I still have no idea how people manage to accumulate so many posts without spamming...

Anyway, I'm back.

He's here somewhere.

Hello and welcome to the Barrow-Downs, Orodruin and welcome back Halbarad! I hope your deaths were gruesome.

Gil-Galad · 03-02-2005, 07:25 PM

Heren-Istarion where are you! your our only hope!

indeed...

welcome back Halbarad

03-02-2005, 10:51 PM

Hello everyone, I'm fairly new to the books. So this should be a great learning tool. Thanks in advance for any help.

03-02-2005, 11:38 PM

I'm pretty new here too, guys. As you might guess, I'm from Australia! I absolutely love everything to do with the LOTR. My family has all the books and all the extended DVD's, and I love all of them. Legolas rocks!

Gil-Galad · 03-03-2005, 08:05 AM

welcome IlfirinMelme and the_girl_from_oz hope you enjoy the splendors of the deceased! don't forget to pop by the quiz room to see me in action!

lord of dor-lomin · 03-03-2005, 02:08 PM

I just realized I ought to come here and say hi.

I'm in the same boat as Halbarad- I haven't been here in a very long time, almost two years!

But I'm back. I was glad that at least a couple people recognized me from the good old days. How long will I stay? Don't know. Depends on how busy I get, but it looks like I'll be around for a few months anyway.

Gil-Galad · 03-03-2005, 05:51 PM

Well welcome back Lord of Dor-Lomin, thats a farside avvies i take it

03-03-2005, 07:15 PM

Hey, Gil-Galad, thanks for the warm welcome, mate!

I might just take your advice and pop into the quiz room to see you in action

Are you as great as you imply?

Gil-Galad · 03-03-2005, 07:39 PM

but of course my dear, i'm the ever-lovable Gil-Galad!

Encaitare · 03-03-2005, 08:15 PM

Welcome to IlfirinMelme and the_girl_from_oz, and welcome back Halbarad!

oz, I love your name. I saw "the Boy from Oz" not too long ago... ah, Hugh Jackman in spangles... yum.

03-03-2005, 08:44 PM

Encaitare, I haven't seen The Boy From Oz, but I just loved the sound of the name. Of course I changed it to fit my gender

, but Hugh Jackman IS one of my favourite actors.

BTW, my name really has nothing to do with that musical/movie/whatever-you-call-it! it's just I had a sudden inspiration!

wilwarin538 · 03-04-2005, 04:03 PM

Wow! Haven't welcomed in a while. So.... welcome goes out to Orodruin, Halbarad, Ilfirin, lord of dor-lomin and the_girl_from_oz! Enjoys your deaths.

~*Wil*~

Memory of Trees · 03-04-2005, 10:13 PM

Ooh... I haven't been on here in a while!!! Might as well introduce myself:

I am Memory. Nice to see all of you again!!!

Encaitare · 03-04-2005, 10:35 PM

It would seem that I neglected to welcome back lord of dor-lomin! Pure accident, my good sir, I assure you but wherever are my manners?

So let me do it now... welcome back!

And a welcome back to Memory of Trees as well... pretty name!

Gil-Galad · 03-04-2005, 10:46 PM

err Welcome memor? even though i think we have never met at all

Nimrodel_9 · 03-05-2005, 02:40 PM

Welcome to (and back to) the Barrow-Downs Ilfirin, lord of dor-lomin, the_girl_from_oz, and Memory! I hope you enjoy your stay here. I love all of your names!

Elennar Starfire · 03-06-2005, 01:13 PM

Hello to all! Enjoy thy deaths, or thy return to the undead realms.

03-06-2005, 03:01 PM

Hello, everyone. Not new to Middle-earth at all, but haven't read a lot of the newer publications...my knowledge stops after Unfinished Tales and Silmarillian, both of which I loved.

Would love to read these other books, but unfortunately am in a part of the world where such books are almost impossible to come by and would cost an arm and a leg even if they weren't.

Have enjoyed all the new info learned from the website so far, though.

Cheers!

Lolidir · 03-07-2005, 08:09 AM

Welcome and welcome back to Aquarius the King, Memory of Trees, Orodruin, Halbarad, Ilfirin, lord of dor-lomin and the_girl_from_oz. its been a long time since i have extended my hand in fellowship but i will try to be better at it in the future. I hope you enjoy being dead and I look forward to seeing your posts and maybe learning a few things as i go along. well have fun.

Gil-Galad · 03-07-2005, 11:15 AM

AYe welcome Aqaurius, if you still can't follow Lolidir, i've been here for over 2 years now, so yea...

03-07-2005, 08:16 PM

Hi, i'm olivier and this is my first time on barow-downs. The site is a incroyable mine of informations. And i wish that i'm going to learn a much of things with you on this and talks about our favorite adventure.

Long live to LORD OF THE RINGS!

Lolidir · 03-07-2005, 09:30 PM

Welcome to the after life Olivier. i am sure that you will learn a lot of things if you just look around. i hope you have fun being dead.

Gil-Galad · 03-08-2005, 08:07 AM

yea welcome Olivier...be sure to have fun on the downs, you are dead by the way

Encaitare · 03-08-2005, 02:49 PM

Hi, Olivier! Welcome -- I hope your barrow is nice and comfy.

malkatoj · 03-08-2005, 05:50 PM

I am Malkatoj. I enjoy hitting people with swords and having romantic, candlelit conversations in Esperanto.

Other than that, I believe the most important thing you guys should know about me is that Sam Gamgee is my hero.

Lolidir · 03-08-2005, 07:08 PM

Hey malkatoj. enjoy hitting people with swords, and remember that you cant kill anyone since we are all already dead. well i hope you enjoy the downs.

AbercrombieOfRohan · 03-08-2005, 07:19 PM

Yes! Rock on, Malkatoj! You make me laugh, especially your name... What does it mean? What does it mean? *Wishes she had a beard to stroke*

*Wishes she had a beard to stroke*

Something I often wish myself... so sometimes I have to "borrow" my friend's. or my dad's...

Welcome to the Downs, malkatoj! Tell me, do you hit people with swords before or after having romantic, candlelit conversations in Esperanto?

Shelob · 03-09-2005, 10:06 AM

My bet is that it's during the romantic, candlelit conversations.

MalWelcomej Malkatoj

malkatoj · 03-09-2005, 03:18 PM

I most definitely hit people with swords during my romantic, candlelit conversations. I guess it's part of my appeal.

wilwarin538 · 03-09-2005, 07:42 PM

Welcome Olivier and Malkatoj(cool name) to the Downs! Enjoy your deaths!

Gil-Galad · 03-09-2005, 09:16 PM

Hitting peeps with swords eh..."If their dead they didn't try hard enough"

malkatoj · 03-10-2005, 05:26 PM

Thanks much for all the generous welcomes. I love this site! And I think my name's pretty rockin' too...if only I knew what it meant...*also wishes she had a beard to stroke*
