You'd be surprised how easy it is to get a computer into the void. Dell will ship one anywhere...!

And yes, the great and mighty Morgoth is from California. Didn't you know all evil people come from California? Just look at Reagan and Schwarzenegger...pure evil!

Thanks for the welcome, by the way.

I love LotR and have been lurking for a while. I read the book after the movie. I like them both, but I like the book the best.

Hope to see you around!

Shield hi

Hi, I just found your forums today, decided you were the best site I've seen so I signed up. I have read the books (hobbit, silmarillion, LOTR) long before the LOTR movies came out, and the movies kind of revived the middle-earth fanatic in me. I'm not great with details, as it has been a while scince I read the books, but I will contribute what I can.

Thanks for you answers and feedback to my future questions!

Welcome NR_Orome. I know what you mean about the movies reviving the fanatic. Had a similar experience myself.

But if you discovered Tolkien quite a long time ago, you might consider visting this thread. We'd be delighted to have more company!

Raewyn, What instrument do you play, and what type of music? Are you tempted to try some Tolkienish music? (If you're into Loreena, you may already play Celtic, or so I'm guessing.) There are musical discussion threads on the Downs, let me know if you'd like some links.

Welcome, Kevins and NR_Orome!

Hello,

I used to post here regularly, but have been busy for a while...five years or so. I'm glad to see the site has thrived. Well done, Barrow-Wight.

I hope to be an occasional poster from now on.

Well, I never believed I would eventually join the Downs.
This is all Lommy's fault (can I hear her laughing somewhere?), and I must confess that now she has brainwashed me, too.

Though I wouldn't be here if I didn't love Tolkien, no matter how hard she would have tried.

And yes, I really can't speak English that well, please try to understand.

Haa!

Welcome Aganzir! Lommy has done a good work...

(If you are fast enough you might still catch Valier's ww-game. )

But really. Enjoy yourself around here as a member now and take part in everything!


And a warm welcome to all other new Downers too! May you enjoy at least as much as I have - and that's a lot.

I'm not sure if I want to take part in any WW-game yet, and Valier's sounds a little too complicated for a beginner like me. Maybe sometimes later.

Good job Lommy (and me )! Aganzir, now rot happily and long! And join Valier's game or return back to life, I bet you're much much (much) better than me, you have live experince. The "thing" game is just as new to all the rest (I think). Join and you can laugh at me better.

Fellow downers, don't believe her. I know how much she has stalked the 'downs and the ww games. She is probably as good in werewolf as an average wwing downer is...

Yep. And I'm quite proud of myself. *evil grin*

But anyway, the point was: Welcome Aganzir and I loved brainwashing you!

Hello fellow wanderers - after much travel I am rather tired and thought I would stop by - well, for a little while perhaps.

I think Tolkien did more than write an adventure - but then you probably know that.

Look forward to meeting you all.

Hello wayseer

Welcome to these barrows of ours, may your death be an interesting one.

The Book discutions are a little slow these days, but maybe you can get them going again. If you are more interested in Sillyness, then Mirth might be your thing.

(You have the same avy as The Only Real Estel, this could produce some interesting mix-ups)

Wish him not an interesting death for he already passed that point of transition, instead wish him an interesting afterlife with rest of the ghouls and wandering souls here.

And yeah, TORE has the same avatar. Looks like you will have to surrender your sig to him, rune son.
