Well, hullo to all of you!
I'm new, well, new here anyway, not new to the message board stuff. The name be Golden. Long story. Usualy that is the name I use, but I also go by Salad, Ronnie and Brandon (The real one). I frankly don't care what I'm called. But for now Golden will do. Just one question, perhaps I didn't read well enough, but how do you join the RPs? Just curious, as I love RPing. And am very, VERY good at it. Thanks all. |

1. Just pick whatever you'd like, some people always pick the same one, others pick one that is most relevant to their topic, or you can choose at random for each post. 2. Click the "My Profile" link at the top of the screen, click "View/Update Profile" and go down to the text box with a big 'OR' directly above it. Find yourself an avatar and enter the URL in that box. Also, if you explore the other text fields, you can provide others with information such as your occupation, location, AIM ID, and a three line (or less) quote of your choice to be displayed after every post (at your discression). 3A. One never becomes undead unless their membership is revoked (which is not a good thing). As you progress as a member of the Downs, you will sink to greater levels of death: Animated Skeleton, Wight, Shade of Carn Dum, and Ghost Prince of Cardolan. You can get your own personal title after five hundred posts, but more is said about that in the FAQ. 3B. To rate another member, click on the "rate member" link below their avatar. Then their profile will come up, and in the top right will be the rating scale from which you choose. Note: I hope you enjoy the downs despite my dry post, and don't worry: there are much more interesting people here than I. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] However, most members (and all moderators) would ask that you refrain from using chat style language in your posts. Welcome again, Iarwain P.S. Before you do anything, read the FAQ!!! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] P.P.S. If you have any other questions don't hesitate to private message me.

Greetings and salutations to all new members.
I hope you enjoy the friendlyness of the downs and the diversity of it's people. If you're not a learned Tolkien fan right now, you soon will be. So go wild, and have fun. Hope to be seeing some new opinions and suggestions from all of you in posts to come. -Be fit and have fun! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

When she says, 'you soon will be' no kidding. It's not an option...
Sulwen, of course it isn't bad to post before you introduce yourself - as the Barrow-Wight said on the first page, the Barrowdowns doesn't require you to introduce yourself. I never had an oficial newbie post on this sitee. Still, as you're here...welcome to the Downs! Gracious, how many elvish names do you have, you make it sound like you have reams! Sulwen - short, sensible, sweet. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] Becky - welcome, both to the Downs and to Lord of the Rings! As Ainaserkwen said, no doubt soon you'll be an expert. From being around lots of these people, you sort of...absorb it... [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] Glad you like the site...theres something about the black, green and gold in this combination that is strangely addictive...surrender to the green-black goodness... Vladivos - well, talk about a preliminary test period! Well, now you've stopped lurking [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img], welcome to the Downs as a member this time! She Nazgul - ah, a short and sweet post, I can see you and Burrahobbit getting along well...welcome, sweetie. Jack...well, yes, the phrase 'just Jack', accompanied by suitable hand movements (come on, someone else has to watch Will And Grace!) is coming to mind [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]. Welcome, and its good to see you in the Green Dragon as well of late. ...and that brings me neatly to Elmirwen, to say, damn right it is! Look forward to seeing you around the RP forums! Ah, Golden, modesty itself [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] By the sounds of it, I'll be seeing plenty of you around the RPs as well, and twill be all the better for you, I have no doubt! Yours, Aman

Hi everyone. I'm relatively new here and this is my first time posting, I'm not very computer literate (Eru help me!) but I love all things Tolkien. This is a great site and the members seem very cool so maybe I'll get up the courage and post replies more frequently. Thanks for letting me "expose" myself.

Thanks, Niluial.
Galadriel, on the address at the bottom of you sig, to make it a link you could go [ url=http://quiz.ravenblack.net/blood.pl?biter=Utella ]Utella[/url ] or whatever. (Bar the space after the first '[' and the last ']'.) Just a thought.

Well, I guess many have read my locked greeting. I guess I'll do the polite thing here since I found the right button and say hello.

Hi all!! I just joined the Barrowdowns today...I've been looking for a good LotR message board for a while.
But how do you get avatars? It looks like aim icons would be too small, so I'm wondering if there is a site or if you have to make em yourself |

Haloo everybody! I just signed up about five minutes ago and I'm still figuring out what goes on and what to do. so, I'll need all your guys help [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] I am a great lover of all things Tolkien, but since I am a huge movie buff I tend to lean more towards the movies. Hurrah for motion pictures!!! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] anyway, I'm not really sure what being a memeber does for you except lets you on the forum, so if there IS other benefits, please reply and let me know.

Eh, try 'posting', Rider [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]
Welcome to the Downs, Rider - a Rohirrim inspired name? If you're a member, you can join in with discussions on all things Tolkien, from the films to every one of the books Tolkien ever wrote, join in with the quizzes, not to mention various spoofs and jokes concerning the works, you can get to know the other members and let them get to know you, you can learn all manner of largely entirely useless information, and, of course, you can RPG! So yeah, quite a bit then... [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Elentari! Welcome back! Maybe you were never truly gone, but goodness me, the Dragon has missed you...drop by for a pint, sweetie. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
Mclainy_mouse - wow, I think this is the first time I've greeted a member when they were still up as the newest member [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]. If you're a friend of Leowen, try looking on breeunderbreehill.com as well - she frequents that site as well. And Crickhollow...whose address I can't remember right now... Spiffy, huh? You need to meet Beren87 [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] Enjoy your stay here, may it be long and soulful. Ithilienelf Quote:

Welcome to all the new members, even if you haven't posted here ^_^' Glad to see ya!
Should I re-introduce myself after my brief visit to the living (I woul say dead... but I would just en up here again... Being the un-dead is fun) Ok... How many newbies did I just confuse? I am Elentari I, Elf-Witch. I am a Spyder Slayer of Mirkwood, but before that I was a dragon hunter. <-- Elentari's my main RPG character for all those who don't know me... I tend to post in character most of the time. ^_^' I'm insane like that. Elentari I, the insane and otherwise indigestable. [EDIT]P.S. Please accept my appologies in advance for any spelling errors you see me write. The 'd' key doesn't work properly. [ October 10, 2003: Message edited by: ElentariGreenleaf ] |
