And I've only been here for about a month, and I'm a Shade. Only you must post intelligently, otherwise a) you ruin the discussions, b) you ruin your reputation, and c) the mods will hunt you down and if you're really bad they'll delete your account.

Hi Lathriel, Haelothiel, Adanadhel, Kili, Bloodchannel, Adanadhel, Airelondeiel, Mirkiin, Master_of_Buckland (check faq, then try search function), Balrog Skwerl, McDLT, Anborn, Stuttering Istari, Lúthien, BethoHOG, Imladrien (by the way, I am not a magical old man, stop looking at me like that!) [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] , Quelledaewen, morchaint, Alatáriël, Carorëiel, and Kates Frodo Temp! Welcome to the downs! Post well.

For all of you folks who are under 18, check this out!

Good morning, day or evening to you all! This is my first post on this forum. I thought it appropriate it should be here! I have lurked about this site since about January, when I lookied about, read lots of the articles and decided that it would be cool to enter the essay contest here. I don't get on here much, but I thought it would be a good idea to introduce myself and get used to posting. There are lots of interesting topics I'd like to think about, and it takes me forever to get around to posting ideas. This seemed easier!

I read the books about 13 years ago, but recently read them again and got so much more out of them this time! I'm a really big Pippin fan, and I'm now slowly being consumed by another idea that is taking me into Frodo's realm quite deeply. This kind of thing is addictive! It is good to be a part of it! Thanks for having me!

Cheers,
Lyta

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

Welcome, Lyta Underhill! Don't take any notice of Eressie Ailin *nudges her out of the way*.

Nah, she's cool, but ignore any horrible, mysterious comments about being newly deceased. Mr Underhill explains this, if you're curious.

Must go. Love,

~ Elentari II

Thanks for the nice and the enigmatic welcomes, Eressie Ailin and Elentari II! It feels quite exhilarating to be newly deceased, and I suppose it is appropriate for one newly registered in the Barrowdowns! Now where's that sword of the Westernesse I used to have? Ah, that darned Hobbit has it! Sorry, Tom! I'll play nice now!

Anyway, I don't get to post very much, due to a very slow connection and limited online time. I seem to still be logged in from yesterday when my computer crashed completely under the strain! I truly hope to be able to add something intelligent to this discussion forum soon, if I can keep the tricksy electronics from betraying me! Thanks again for the welcome!

Cheers,
Lyta (oddball and Pippin-fancier)

Welcome to all the Newly Deceased. Have fun haunting the Downs. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Lyta, you are too modest. I see from the results page that you won first place in your category. Congratulations! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Congrats, Lyta. You seem like you would do well in the RPG section.

Id just like to say, a great site, and im also very new here.

Why, thanks for the congrats, y'all! *blushes* I never expected to win the thing! It was just an excuse and a spur to write a whole lot about Pippin! And welcome to the Last Hobbit from a hobbit who is somewhere in-between!

Eressie Ailin, I have never really RPG'd much, except for odd chat room deals, but I have such an erratic schedule and SUCH a slow connection that I've never been able to maintain one or jump in at the proper time. I'm always about 2 weeks behind any continuous action! I suppose if I did RP, I'd be a hobbit or an elf, or perhaps, an enigma!

Cheers,
Lyta

Hello everyone!
I was introduced to this site by my friend and this is soooo cool!! I've been into LOTR for ages but never really thought there were places where other LOTR fans could get togehter and talk about it and stuff. Can't wait to get into some discussions!

well.... as you'd've guessed, I'm new here... I just poped in to say hi to everyone, and to mention that I happen to like Craig Parker better than Orlando Bloom... Which is almost like a blasphemy to the person who posted just above me. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Hi,newcomers!!!!!!! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] [img]smilies/cool.gif[/img] [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

"Why, oh why did God make worms? They make me squeel, they make me squirm. What's their purpose here on Earth? God gave us worms so we would have good dirt." Lines from some stupid song...

Hey all you newcomers! You'll love it here at the Downs. Have fun haunting!!! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] [img]smilies/cool.gif[/img] [img]smilies/redface.gif[/img] [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

You'll all be assigned a mound and a pile of treasure to hoard as soon as the Department of Haunting gets through the proper paperwork.

Even the Undead have to deal with bureaucracy. Sorry. [img]smilies/evil.gif[/img]

Hello! I am glad to find a site full of fellow middle-earth lovers

And hope that I have a nice time at the Barrowdowns
[img]smilies/cool.gif[/img]

Hi Phervasaion, nPiLL, TheHobbit and Estanesse. Welcome to the downs! Post well.

TheHobbit: You will find that there are quite a few swedish people here! RPG stands for role playing game. I don't really do them, though I have tried them a couple of times. Basically, you pretend you are someone from Middle Earth and you go around and talk to people in that character.

For more information try Child of the 7th Age, or any moderator, or Dwarin Thunderhammer.

Click Here to get to the Green Dragon! but Read THIS before you post!

You can get to the roleplaying section by scroling down past Middle-Earth Discussions, Middle-Earth Fun and Games, and The New Silmarillion.

Hello, well I guess I'm not really all that new, but his is the first time I've seen this thread... and yeah... so Suilad to all of you, and I look forward to posting alongside all of you.

Hello, I'm new to this message board, and this is my first post here. I didn't notice that the Barrow Downs had a message board until recently, so I decided to check it out. Seems like a fun place to be though. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Hi. 'Nother newbie. Bethberry down in RP land told me about this site. I thought I had a good knowlege of Tolkien until I saw this place. Whew! I don't think I will say much more for now, I think I will go back to lurking until I get the hang of this place.
(Too many message boards, too little time)

Hello, saw a link to the name generator on another forum. Ditto what was said above, too many forums, too little time, so I will be lurking a lot [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Hi IorethsSis and Odie! Welcome to the downs! Post well. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] Lurking is fine to, if you don't make unnessisary posts, people will listen to you more when you do post!

Greetings IorethsSis,

So good to 'see' you here! It is a bit daunting, isn't it, but nevertheless quite wonderful to discover others who are immersed in Middle Earth.

Looking forward to seeing more of you,
Bethberry
