Hi yall, Welcome. Have fun here, we are all dead! All dead! Oh yeah, I am a New mexico person, that is part of the US for those who don't know. But anyway, just thaught I would Welcome the Newly Deads.

[Leyrana Silumiel]

Not exactly new here (I've been hanging around for YEARS) but more like returning after an extended absence from the Tolkien study (you can thank dual English/History degrees for that, but I don't regret it for a moment) and for exceptionally declining vision (worrisome for someone of my young age). Thankfully, a large portion of the more important books of Tolkien's creation are now available as eBooks so I can enlarge the font for easier reading (and not carry around such heavy tomes!).

So enough with my rambling! I'm ready to get back into some discussions!

Nice to have you back! The more sleepy undead that arise to stalk this Barrow once more, the better.

Thank you! I've been silently stalking for a while. Thought it was about time to pop out of the woodwork once more.

[Tuor Turambar,Cursed by the Valar]

Hello, I am Tuor Turambar. Dont ask me why, i think i mistyped somewhere and it has stuck with me. Anyway, I am new here, but I have known about this site for a while. Unfortunately, I was not aware there was a forum.
And im in middle scool, for those of you who care. Nothing more shall you learn. [img]smilies/evil.gif[/img]

<font size=1 color=339966>[ 9:14 PM December 09, 2003: Message edited by: Tuor Turambar,Cursed by the Valar ]

Hi, I'm Nilia. I am a freshman in high school. I have been to this site a lot, but I didn't realize that there were message boards. I read the Trilogy in seventh grade and was immediately hooked. And that's about it.

[lord_of_rohan2003]

Hi im a Lord of Rohan and im a alch....oh sorry I thought I was at another message board [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Well lets see here,I have only been a Tolkien fan for a short time.After I saw the first movie I thought"hey this is pretty cool"So I ran out a few days latter and bought all 3 books,and ever since then I have been a fan of both books and movies.

Anyway that's me saying hi and I hope there isin't to many tuff newbie initiations around here.Till then.....

[Aredhel Ar-Feiniel]

Hey, IM Aredhel Ar-Feiniel, and im VERY surprised that my name was not taken as there seem to be a LOT of members here. Anyway, I got really into LOTR after the first movie came out. (please dont hurt me! [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img] )read the books and have been reading them ever since. Its kinda weird becuase I iwll come across poeple who are talking about the movie and i will be correcting them on what the hell they are saying, it gets me really annoyed. Anyone else had that problem?

Anyway, my faves in LOTR are, Aredhel (of course) Fëanor, Elrond, Legolas, Théodred, Éomer, Glorfindel, Éowyn and Boromir, oh! oh! and Grima, (just because he is creepy)

I like Literature, concerts and i know a LOT about actors/actresses/movies, some may say its obsessive to check the entertainment news websites twice a day, but i dont care. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

[Annalaliath]

Wow! Much more fresh m... I mean Newly Deads. Have fun yall, and enjoy being dead.

[Orophin]

I just joined as well. I'm a pretty huge lotr fan and I've looked at this site for a while but I just joined the forum. I go under the name Orophin and for those of you who do not know who he is he is haldir's brother and the only time you see him in the books is in the trees of Lothlorien when the fellowship first enter the forest. I belive that he says only one word, in the book but that does not mean that he is not awsome. I am a senior in high school and I too am going to college next year.

[samwise8504]

hi im new as well. Im quite a big tolkien fan and have read the lord of the rings, the hobbit and the silmariliion. I've choose the name samwise because he's my favourite character and probably the biggest hero of all.

I wanted to introduce myself. My name is Marared and I've been reading Tolkien every year since 1987. I was a fan after the first time I read LOTR, now I'm a bigger fan since the movies were released. Recently, I've discovered there are not many people in my day to day life that share my passion for middle earth. I'm glad I found you guys.

[Lhundulinwen]

Greetings to everybody, including Marared, samwise8504, (of course Sam's the biggest hero! He just doesn't get all the glory) and of course Orophin. Hope everyone has a lovely time at the 'Downs!!

[Lhundulinwen]

Well hello everybody! If you don't check in very often, lots of people join while you're not looking, so hope you all enjoy being dead, and don't be afraid to jump into a discussion. Just remember, have fun!

[elronds_daughter]

Hello, fellow dead ppl! now that i'm one of you, i guess i should introduce myself. I am currently the functioning 'Evenstar of Country Folks', just because there's no one else to fill the void, i guess... there is too much about me to say here without sounding self-centered. (not an image i exactly want ) but i think i'll actually like being dead ~LoL~

*the Evenstar*

Hello Everybody!

I'm a new one here, too. And yes, I have read Lotr, and The Hobbit, and Sil many, many times.

I have already studied some of your discussions as a guest. And I've been glad to share your knowledge and good points about the Tolkienity.

That will be enough for an opening speech! Except that please excuse any flaws with my English, it's not my native language. (Sindarin is, of course! )

Mablung

[Mahal]

Hello, im stilling being here(well from time to time anyway ). Its Been awhile, since I last read all the books, so the memory is a little fuzzy(buzy with new books ).

[ninlaith]

salutations my fellow LOTR lovers,

I just got started on this web-site for the fact that a friend of mine told me how much fun it was. My username is ninlaith because a long time before I knew about the discussion forum I found out what my name meant in Elvish so there you go.

I just graduated highschool and will be persuing a theater major when I attend college. My passions are LOTR of course, acting, singing, musicals, and movie going. Just a warning I get very passionate about the books and movies and have spasms of the mouth and can't keep it shut, so if I offend anyone, which I will desperately try not to, i sorry in advance. But thank you for reading if you did and maybe I'll read you out there.

[Gil-Galad]

[elronds_daughter]

Well, Gil-Galad, just like life, death is what you make of it. Right?

[Gil-Galad]

meh...i guess the dead make good fighters, don't disobey commands, don't run away from dragons and they don't stop fighting after a random body part falls off

[Thorongil]

Ok, Morgy, just a question: What's PPC?


There you have it Gil-Galad. Death isn't so bad after all is it?

[Arie]

I'm not exactly a new member as you all can see -- but I haven't been on the Downs for the longest time and I feel like a newbie. Certainly many things have changed since the mentioned 'renovation' of the forum and I'd just like to say hi to those active members who have been posting.

Elenny dragged me in here...
As y'all can see, my name is Falkor.
Not Fally. Not Korry. Not Falky. FAL-KOR. Calling me anything other than Falkor upsets the voices in our head.
Actually, I'm just kidding...
A little bit about me: I look to Gollum for inspiration. I refuse to acknowledge the Khyber that killed Chewbacca.
I am admittedly more obsessed with Star Wars than anything else.
I am admittedly equally obessed with extremely H.O.T. British guys.
I like Tea, and crumpets.
My favorite non-fandom movie is Rocket Man.
I am not easily frightened, except when it comes to the mental images Elenny is always putting in my head.
I talk a lot, and I hate pink.
*sits in corner, and plots to terrorize Elenny and Splatzy*

I am new to the site obviously and am just saying hey to all of ya.

[Ohtariel]

Well hello all.

I'm Ohtariel. I'm currently in the market for a new place to RP and new people to RP with, so hopefully I won't have to look any further. It has been a long search. One I would be glad to end.

I'm 20 years old now, but have been rpg since I was 12 or 13... can't remember now. I'd like to think my writing has improved since then, but I'm never quite satisfied with my posts so I'll let you guys be the judge of that. Not that you have any of my writing from when I first started... thank good ness. No comparisons!

And thats enough of that.

Your RPG rules look rather complex but I'm sure I'll get the hang of it. Just gotta sit down with some coffee. Anywho! Looking forward to meeting you all.

[MisterMelkor]

Hi,
Greetings to ya! No doubt I am going to make many mistakes because I am new to online crowding (surprisingly we had no Internet where I come from).
I like the look of this Forum and am glad that you accepted me as a new member.
Lord of the rings is amazing, and I am a great fan of all the Tolkien books (especially The Silmarillion and the Hobbit) as well the films and the whole lot of Merchandise (luv the Action figures).
My Hobbies are reading, writing, making Music (piano, guitar and the harp), customizing models, gardening and collecting weather data from 30 years ago (I´ve got a nice collection of cumulus clouds).
Well there is actually Little else that might interest you, except that I am working as a freelancer and I am quiet good at cooking (in case we should ever meet as friends).

That´s it,
yours sincerely
MM

I am headless monk, referring 2 the best play EVER, The Boy Who Fell into the Book. yeeeeeeah I also haunt the Performing Arts Center, PAC, as a mournful ghost. But that's in Alaska, so I doubt any of u have seen me. Yep, dat's me. I am happy 2 b here.

[Morgul Queen]

Morgul Queen, you;ll be needing some 4 more black ones too, right?

5 more, and call me Morgy, everyone else does and Morgul Queen is such a mouthful.

No, I won't tell you where I got that name, it's far too embarassing. Morgy suits me just fine!

hey i'm new and have been a fan of lotr since i was like 6. i'm thirteen now and really confused and yah. my fav is legolas and aragorn cause their pretty cool

[Gil-Galad]

Welcome Marien and Lady Gamgee...i'm sure you'll enjoy being dead, alot of bonuses to it! (look below in italics)

[Bekah]

Bekah: Welcome back. I hope it hasn't been anything bad that's kept you away. If so, I'm very sorry, and if not, what have you been waiting for?

Oh, nothing terrible. I'm just really busy with school and everything else.

Morgy asked a question about PMs which is probably going to be asked again, so I'll answer it here.

Down at the bottom right-hand corner of the PM, there are two boxes: forward (which is bigger), and quote. Click on quote; if you don't want to keep the quote of the PM you're replying too, just delete it.

Does that make sense?

Anyway, a hugely warm welcome to everyone new.

Oh, and I'm going to try to get Alk to put up my pirate pic as well in the Downs Photo Gallery...

Congratulations, Morgy. PPCing is a noble career in the fanfiction world.

Lots of love to everybody,

~ Elentari II

[Nuindacilien]

Hello all! I'm new here. I have a question. How do you get the avatars to download? I tried putting one in, but it said the URL wasn't right, even though it was a jpeg.
I usually hang around at tolkienonline, but this place looked fun, too, so I decided to give it a try.
Anyway, I'll probably be back sometime tomorrow. Namarië!
