White Tree Hello

Hello,
What a nice place. I'm one of those old Tolken fans. I had read LOTR at least seven times before I even heard about the movie. I'm certainly no expert on Tolkien, but I will probably chime in from time to time. (I'm one of those guys that makes notes in the margins.) Would love to discuss LOTR, The Silmarillion, or The Hobbit with anyone. I've read them all many times and get something new each time I re-read them. Looking forward to some wonderful discussions.

Sting Hi

Hi, I'm Turin, and I just joined yesterday. Needless to say, I love all the stories of Middle-Earth, and the movies. This site interested me so I decided to join in case I ever wanted to talk with you guys. I hope to have some fun and have some questions answered by some fellow Tolkienites!

Welcome all Newly Deceased! I can assure that your deaths shall be most enjoyable.... So long as you stay away from the troublemakers.... Though I'm not telling who they are. Guilt by association, and all that.

It seems that it's time for me to introduce myself. So, greetings to each and everyone, I'm Eyrie (or that's what you may call me) and my home is in Finland.
I was introduced to The Lord of the Rings by my friend a month or so before the first movie. Since then I've been, more or less, hooked on Mr. Tolkiens writings and I hope I can participate in the discussions here.
This is not my first visit to this forum, but I have been much more active (or rather more present) on the #barrowdowns channel. So an extra "hi o/" to those whom I know from there.

A hello that is buried on page 33

Hello to anyone who has read this far into the introductions page, or just jumped here to reply to my post.

Im another newbie, and I have been a fan of LotR for about the time the second movie came out. Their was so much about the movie that I liked that I was hooked and finally read the trilogy after several attempts in my younger years. Now Im reading the Silmarillion and the Unfinished Tales. I really enjoy the stories of Numenor and Rohan the most because I see a lot of the good and bad in humanity in both of those cultures.

Ne ways, I hope this will be an interesting site to chat to people about.

Regards,

Ar

Hullo hullo.

I do believe I had another account once upon a time. Both the name and password, however, are now lost to me. I had almost forgotten how much I love the Barrow Downs and the dead that linger here, and I hope to regain old contacts and/or form new connections.

Tolkien Hi!!

Hi everyone,

I just found this place today via the LOTR message board on the BBC, which unfortunately is full of "who do you fancy more Legolas or Aragorn" posts

Hope to have some good discussions here and meet fellow Tolkien nuts.
