Deaths enjoyable? remember what my death was nimmy? btw you like my new avvie/sig?

04-01-2005, 06:08 PM

Mae Govannen!
I'm new to this site and I think it's great!

I'm a huge LotR fan and I've read all the books(more than once) and I like reading writing video games and music. I play piano and my favorite type of music is Rock. In LotR, my favorite characters are Aragorn and Gandalf.

elronds_daughter · 04-01-2005, 06:54 PM

Welcome, all newcomers! Enjoy your deaths!

Gil-Galad · 04-01-2005, 07:37 PM

welcome to the downs Linwe! the buffet is to die for...literally

Encaitare · 04-02-2005, 11:26 AM

Welcome, Linwe!

Gil-- Yeah, your death didn't sound too pretty....

Flame_of_Udûn · 04-04-2005, 12:37 AM

Greetings fellow Downers,

I've been lurking the forums for a few months now and finally decided to join

Eventhough I haven't read the books yet (sorry!) I have learned a lot from the members of this board and loved the movies. I'm looking forward to chatting with you guys about ME and I'm eagerly awaiting June, which is when I will have some free time to read LOTR!

PS: My favorite character is Durin's Bane

04-04-2005, 03:00 AM

I've been a silent apparition weaving through the threads for too long as well, Flame, and it seems that I've finally mustered enough will to join into the fray. Greetings to you, and to all the other lovely Tolkien worshippers who frequent the Barrow-Downs. It is my understanding that there is no better place than this one to be obssessed, fanatical, and passionate about Tolkien and his works, and I hope to enjoy myself as well as better the community while I am here.

Gil-Galad · 04-04-2005, 07:25 AM

Welcome Flame of Udun! and Strider of Eriador! enjoy the vastness of the umm....dead downs?

04-04-2005, 07:30 AM

hey i just joined. hi everybody! im glad to be a newly deceased (is that right?)

Lathriel · 04-04-2005, 04:37 PM

Welcome everyone. Its great to see new people join. I hope you bring lots of ideas for interesting discussions. The longer you are deceased the funner it gets.

Indeed! We need some new stuff, being dead for so long, even though it's a hoot, does have it's downs...

Anyways, Welcome, welcome! I hope that your stay, for however long is enjoyable. Let death be kindly to you all!

The funner it gets or the funnier it gets?

Somehow I can't help thinking its the latter...

I suggest trying out all areas of the forum until you find your niche. And don't be afraid to join in and speak up!

THE Ka · 04-06-2005, 03:20 PM

Especially try out areas that you are sure you know alot about, or that you're done some Tolkien studying on. New prespectives on old ideas and threads are wonderful starting places as well.

Hope to see you in the forum!

Greetings fellow barrelriders!

I have only just discovered this forum, stumbeling across some keywords ....

I have read Tolkiens books time and again and have always been drawing stuff. Lately I have been taking a closer look at "The Hobbit", disecting it into really valuable information about architecture and settings. I noticed that many illustrations I found were far from my imagination and often too weird to fit.

So I hope this place will be a nice area to brainstorm and exchange concepts and thoughts.

My nick "Thorgis" is chosen after a viking tyrant who occupied Dublin. But I am not all that evil. It´s just after having to play a viking on a dutch LARP called Moonblade I chose his name and grew somehow attatched to the chap!
If you want to see how dangerous I really am - just have a look at my site!

04-10-2005, 03:26 AM

Hi, so I'm a girl from Norway who just joined. Please be nice

I accidentaly found this forum yesterday, and ofcourse I had to join...
I've read Tolkien's books a whole lot of times... I know I've read The Lord Of The Rings 9 times, I think, but I have no idea how many times I've read the others...

Apart from Lotr, my main interests would be... fantasy, anime/manga, dragons, music, writing and webdesign... Yeah.. That's me.

Encaitare · 04-10-2005, 09:14 AM

Welcome, Thorgis and Thirwaina! Hope you like it here.

Gil-Galad · 04-10-2005, 12:28 PM

Welcome indeed Thirwaina and Thorgis I am of course the ever-loveable Gil-Galad of the downs, enjoy the boards and feel free to join in our discussions

Melkor · 04-10-2005, 01:17 PM

Wow you beat my record when it comes to the trilogy i only read it 3 times but the hobbit ive read 8 welcome to the downs i hope you have fun

04-10-2005, 01:36 PM

Thanks to you all! And, yeah I hope I'll have fun here too.

Feanor of the Peredhil · 04-10-2005, 02:27 PM

Welcome, Thorgis and Thirwaina. Already, simply by registering, you have proven yourselves to be more intelligent than 96.378685% of the population of the world. Congratulations to you both.

Thorgis: drawing? Most excellent. What type of work? Fantasy? Still lifes?

Thirwaina: You've read the books that many times? I have a feeling you will be most welcome here.

Once again, welcome to you both. If you have any questions, they are easily answerable through Private Messaging, or the FAQ. If you already know about the FAQ, and even better, have read it, congratulations once more. You have now proven yourselves smarter than 98.657657% of the world.

Tinuviel of Denton · 04-11-2005, 03:49 PM

Well... I'm not actually new, per se.

But I have not been to the Downs in literally over a year.

So, does that make me... undead, and now dead again? Or are you always dead, and just return to the place you originally haunted?

I'm confusing myself.
