Not to take away from some of the very intelligent, newer people that post on the boards, but looking back several pages I notice that there are far less cooler elf/most shinny ring threads. The older posters seem to have more Tolkien knowledge and also pay more attention to the directions that are on the top of each forum (Although I have to admit as I write this I realize that my rant has very little to do with advanced Middle Earth discussions, oh well it's not going to stop me from posting it) [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] There is much more needless clutter on the boards, I think most people would prefer several longer threads than a million shorter ones.
