Morai, I am sorry about that. Flame wars are aweful.

Here, we have such diversity of religions, yet it does not get in the wasy of our love of Tolkien and Lord of the Rings.

I love this board so much. I have learned a lot here and feel free to post even stupid questions [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img].

This is one of the few secular boards that I have been to that I feel free to place Scripture in my signature.

Thank you all for making this place what it is.

Gimli Son Of Gloin · 05-26-2002, 11:54 PM

One reason I like this board is because there is no vulgarity.

Frodo Baggins · 05-27-2002, 03:39 AM

Hear hear Gimli, That's one of my favourite points.

Nevfeniel · 05-27-2002, 08:13 AM

Yes, that is definitely a plus. I hate it when I'm posting and (not here, thankfully) someone starts cursing at me in all caps, and I'm just like, "Whoa, cool it." Which, of course, makes them even madder (more mad? I don't have very good grammer, do I?)

05-27-2002, 08:23 AM

I Know what it is to be Ignored Happens on every board I snig up for. But then maybe if I were a louder Voice in the place that wouldn't happen so much. I hung out at a place Called the blackrider untill I found the downs. Only had two friends on the hole board and the were Admins of the place and just up and wonder away.

Joy · 05-27-2002, 01:09 PM

Arladwen, I see that you are new here. I don't know if you have been given a proper welcome or not...

Hope you enjoy your stay here at the Downs. Post often and learn much! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Mae Govannen Arladwen, Welcome to the Down.

Cool Picture, where did you find it?

I'm bringing this topic back from the dead!!
Anyhoo, I'm registered at another forum (non-Tolkien) and it's like nobody ever posts! I'm gone for a couple months, and almost nothing has changed! I love how people reply so quickly here! Maybe the 'Downs shouldn't have been my first forum; I'm spoiled here! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Samwise · 07-02-2002, 09:29 PM

I know what you mean, Nev. I'm registered at another message board (non-Tolkien, and actually where I got the link to this site, from), and I've been back a few times to post, ask "How's it going?" or whatever, and they've completely ignored me!

Nevfeniel · 07-02-2002, 09:32 PM

Well, that was rude of them! I actually made a topic at the non-Tolkien site I mentioned, and about two people answered! And that was in, like, May!! I replied more than anyone, and one of the posts was, "anyone there?"

this board is the only place i've ever related to people....snuf snuf......i love you guys....(note: i don't mean that in a gay way, nn10 is straight as a ruler)

Samwise · 07-02-2002, 09:39 PM

Nice. [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img]
I'm glad I've got this place. Lots of interesting folks here. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]
I've even made a couple snail and e-mail friends.
'Nother thing I didn't like about that site was that they were all (%98, anyhow) stuck on this one "topic" that I completely disagreed with, so when I went there, half the time there was nothing for me to talk about. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

"Just hold on a moment and I'll get my stuff!" cried Sam eagerly. "It's all ready. I thought we should be off today. "

yeah thanx for the support samwise......i just need a shoulder to cry on...........

It is a fine thing for a board and it's inhabitants to be considered trustworthy enough for NN10 (or any Nazgul) to confess love for us. *feels special*. Another shoulder for your other eye, NN10? [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

NazgulNumber10 · 07-03-2002, 07:39 AM

hmmmmmmm....yes yes it's all going according to plan.......i mean....um...

This does seem to be one of the best boards out there. Everyone's always welcomed, it's always active, and you've got just about everything you could want.

I've had my own bad experiances with other boards (none LotR), including being ignored and occasionally flamed. I ended up leaving the place, becuase I knew that there are happier boards to visit. *grins* Best wishes.

akhtene · 07-04-2002, 04:44 PM

Great place!!! And my first experience. It's the second one that turned a disaster (they all suddenly turned to computer problems, of which I'm an ignoramus)

Know what, I think I've grown really adicted. Yesterday my PC said something like "first you pay, then you post" as I had absolutely forgotten about such earthly matters as paying for the time.
I spent a sleepless night cursing thee world, myself and my [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img] dear machine included. But tonight at last I'm HERE!! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Samwise -- I love that picture I have it up on my refrigerator as a magnet which I picked up at e-bay. It's the only one I know where they're both grinning.

Samwise · 07-04-2002, 11:34 PM

Child, how are you?? I miss you guys.
Ooh. What a cool idea...I have a metal desk in my room with magnets all over it. How I'd love to have one like that.
I know what you mean, too. Most of the pics of "Frodo" are super-serious or scared out of his mind, and "Sam" is either serious, dirty(I mean real dirt--man, those poor guys must've had to shower every six hours on that set) or with what my friend calls the "Famous Sean Astin half-smile." I just think the above pic is so sweet. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
