Thoughts on Tolkien boards on the net ...

[Midgardsormen]

Hi!!
I am really new, but would like to contribute. I know there are lots of Boards out there, but many people do NOT want to make their own!! However, although I have loved reading LotR for many years it was only after we got broadband that I could be bothered to start looking!! I habitually read around 5-6 Forums and post in around 3-4 of them. But it takes time to find some you like. I will not mention names, but some seem to be full of 12-14 year olds just drooling over Legolas etc....
I love a humorous and funny discussion, I love discussing the movie(s), but I also like a site that offers more intellectual discussions, and where the age group is mixed. I have nothing against young people, but it does feel funny when most of them are discussing whether they are in grade nine or ten....
This seems like a very nice site, and I hope to post here enough to get to know some of the regulars.
As I said it takes time to feel at home, but the more welcome you feel, the less you feel like going other places. Of course, you also need to find discussions that interest you!!
