New Members - Introduce Yourself Here - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Sardy - Oh, I must have gotten the name wrong

As I say, I don't watch much TV anyway. Too busy wandering around chat rooms talking to strangers about the Lord of the Rings I guess.
Gil - Was it just me, or was the Barrow Downs server down today? It kept coming up with a DNS error every time I tried to log on, yet I could navigate to other sites on the Internet quite fine.

Gil - Sorry for double-posting (I don't know if that is considered rude here or not). I was just wondering how one would go about reporting abuse or spammers here? I've noticed some recent posts by a particular member here who is using what I would consider inappropriate language in an abusive tone. I know that on the other LOTR forum that I post on, this type of behaviour would be shut down immediately, and most likely the member would have his/her account suspended forthwith.

I haven't posted anywhere outside of this thread yet as I'm still trying to learn how to navigate your menu system.

Don't worry Thor the admins will see his posts and get rid of them as well as get rid of him. It's a shame that someone has to be like that in a wonderful place such as this

Admins catch everything usually, but yes the trianlge alerts them as well and yes i beleive the Barrowdowns were down yesterday as for i could not ascess the site as well.

and with exploreing the site, choose which you feel like reading, if your interested in discussing Books, check out the Books Portion, if you want to read and anwser basic questions, check the newcomers portion, if you like to play a game check the quiz room and quotable quotes. if you enjoy the fun stuff of Tolkien, check out the Mirth forum. the rest is basically RPG forum and the Admin Thread.

Well, Hello! I somehow came across the downs whilst looking for a good place to talk about Tolkien and such things, and this seemed like the best place out there, so I promptly stole the name of a character I found interesting and registered! I've seen the movies, read the books, and also the Silmarillion. Somehow the interest died down, and my love for Tolkien's works lay dormant like a balrog under Cahadras. More recently, (to stretch my metaphor) some dwarves came and delved for mithril, so I scanned the internet...and thus came here. I look forward to taking part in the discussions here, and learning new knowledge of Arda.

Welcome Damrod! Glad to see you made your way to the Downs. Feel free to come down to the Shire which is the beginning RPG forum and take a look at the discussion thread for the Golden Perch Inn. If you'd like to participate or have any questions, feel free to drop a pm to me or to Piosenniel.

Hope your stay here is long and moldy as befits a new member of the barrow.

A tip of the hat to Elonve as well.
