Welcome, kender!

<font color=blue>Hi Tasslehoff_55! Welcome to the downs! Post Well.

This is Ernil i Pheriannath or Prince of the Halflings, which is what the people of Minas Tirith call Pippin, as you would say it. Yep, I'm new and i have no idea what to do.

Yay!!
I'm so proud of being the 6964th member!!

What to do? Well, if you have any curiosities about places or people in Middle-Earth, go to the Books section and ask them. The people there are very knowledgable. Just don't ask either of the following, they've been argued over endlessly:

'Do Balrogs have wings?'

or

'What is Tom Bombadil?'

::waves at everybody:: Hi, y'all, I'm another newbie. Wandered here after finding the personality and location tests linked to another site. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] My personality says I'm most like Aragorn but also like Legolas and Merry, and my ideal location is Rivendell but I'd also like Bree or the Grey Havens according to the test(don't know how Bree got thrown in there!). Looks like a great site.

I've been reading Tolkien for several years and love the Silmarillion and others. The books are my first love, but I also enjoy the movies. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Welcome Mimosa, may you enjoy your stay! Yet another person drawn by the generators... [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] (I was too.)

Hi Ernil-i-Pheriannath, TheBladeThatWasBroken, and Mimosa Took! Welcome to the downs! Post well. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Hello, all you new members! Drop down to the Shire and give us a visit, in character, at the Green Dragon Inn. The first pint is on the house!

Mae Govanenn! I'm new to this site, would some of you be so kind, and introduce yourselves? It's wierd reading posts from ppl you don't know...AHHHH CURSE THE FLOOD CONTROL!!!!

I speak to you from the golden halls of MyBasement! I am Lord Dargor and the political stuff is summarized in my signature! It is my wish to keep this place a good place for good discuissions around good things such as good ol' Tolkien and good books such as Lord of The Rings and World History (without any commas, that's right!).

Hi Carnefiniel! Welcome to the downs. Post well. I am Arwen Imladris. You can find more about people here.

Did you mean to post twice? You can edit/delete your post, just in case ya didn't know. See you around!

Hello everyone! I'm new here, and I just wanted to say hi.

Good evening folks, not only am I relatively new to this site, but also relatively new to the net. Please bear with me while I find my way. I hope not to upset people, but if I do, please let me know. I'm big enough to handle criticism. That said, I'm off to try to find something about Tevildo. Wish me luck.

Hi I am new and just wanna say Hi!
And I have one question. How can I change my nick? I just want to add The in front of it [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Welcome, newcomers! In answer to White Lady's question, you cannot change your forum name. The only possibility if you really want a different nick is to register anew with the new name. That means you start all over again with 0 posts. If you have any additional questions, feel free to PM me.

Welcome, Welcome, Welcome! Have so much fun here, and post often!
I greet you in the name of
Elves, Humans, Hobbits, Dwarves, Ents, Orcs, Balrogs, Valar, Maia etc etc etc
Have fun!

Hi everybody [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
I'm new myself. I kinda pride myself in that I'm not over-the-top insane about Lord of the Rings, but just fascinated by it, and I love a good discussion as much as anybody.
Apart from that, my claim to fame must be that I'm one of very few people to have leafed through the actual original manuscripts to Lord of the Rings. And yes, it was a knee-trembling moment.
I'm american, currently residing in Denamrk, and moving to Ireland in 6 months.
that should be enough said for now [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

hello! At last i'm on! i've never sent a post before! ( by the way, i'm new!)

Hi Lord Dargor, Adutincowen, Iarephelion (good luck! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]), White Lady, Hell, tifo_gcs, killer hamster, and lostinstarlight! Welcome to the downs! Post well.

Hi all!

I must confess I'm also seeing if my picture works.

But that doesn't mean you aren't welcome.

Mae govanenn!! Welcome to the Downs, everybody!! Isn't it great to be dead and rotting?

Merenwen~ It really doesn't take too long to get a lot of posts. After less than three weeks of being on the Downs, I already had over 100 posts. And Bekah hasn't been on the Downs as long as I have, and right now she has about 360 posts. But, as she said, remember to POST WELL!!

Merenwen and Ringethirel, welcome to the Downs! Happy haunting! Welcome to all other newcomers too! You'll love it here! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Hi Carnefiniel, merenwen, and Ringethiriel! Welcome to the downs! Post well.

merenwen: I have been here for a year, the most importent thing to do is to post well, as Eressië Ailin said. Time flies while having fun, so don't worry about your post count! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Hi! Im brand new! I am really glad that my friends introduced me to this site. I hope that I will get the chance to talk and meet all of you(well most of you). The people that i can gladly thank are Ithaeliel and Brinniel.
Thank you very much!

Hi Queen of all Violas! Welcome to the downs! Post well.

Hi Queenie! Welcome to the Downs! Have fun, post well, learn much.

I'm a BIG fan of Lord of the Rings, both the movies and books. I'm currently about half way through the Silmarillion, and am loving it. I actually just found out about this forum yesterday, (taking the personality tests and quizzes).

I also enjoy Star Wars, drawing (I'm currently working on a Elf soldier), reading, writing (fan fics especially), riding horses, and hanging out with my friends and my 8 mo. old German Shepherd.

I'm really looking forward to posting on this message board with a bunch of other LOTR fans... (maybe 'twill give my mom a break.....) [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

I could also use some help with the Sindarin language pronounciation... I'm attempting to learn it.

Hi Elrowen Greenleaf and Talon Stormcrow! Welcome to the downs! Post well.

I'm new here, too! I've been wondering around the Barrow-Downs for a while however. I guess that a wight saw me and made me a restless spirit...

Hi Ceanen and Arcanis! Welcome to the downs! Post well. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
