True, you've got me there. However, I mostly meant the overall tone of the site, a haha feel, to Tolkien's style of writing, which was more developed and sensible than the site. You're right, there are parallels between the two:
Motley Bunch of Companions=Fellowship
Wise but Useless Guide=Gandalf (anything but useless)
Tough Old Warriors=Dunedain (?)
Pure Maiden Warrior=Eowyn
And in The Silmarillion:
Quote:

The gate of that harbour was an arch of living rock sea-carved...

Compare that to:
Quote:

Castles are always "hewn from the living rock" whatever that means.

Yes, it is mostly a parody of LotR, which has become a sort of role-model for young authors to admire. When they do try to write a Tolkienesque fantasy it usually comes out as the site describes.
