Hello, Lucy! Enjoy being dead!

Boro, do you think you could use your imagination and come up with a different greeting, instead of using the same one? Not that I have any room to talk....

hello there

hey every one,

i must say i am new to the whole forum thing, but i am not new to the LOTR world so to speak. i have read the books once but a lot of people dont believe me bc i can recall a lot of information and sometimes its a lot of pointless information that only a fanatic would know. know i dont want to bost here bc i know that prolly everyone here know more than i do, mainly bc i have read anything other than the triogy and the hobbit. i do plan on it, but as some others i am also in school. i am a junior in highschool.

heres an interesting story. i got in trouble in english class my freshman year for not paying attention. any one know what i was doing? i was reading TTT. and on top of that when the teacher took the book away the book mark fell out and i said "thanks for loosing my place" in a not so nice tone. well thats just how dedicated i am i guess. i put my own safety on the line for LOTR. paving the way for all those new comers out there i guess.

well i have prolly bored half of you to sleep and the other half have prolly left so will say adios for the time being and i hope to hear from some of you in the future wether it be an IM or PM or maybe a reply to something i wrote. hope to read you soon.

Welcome to the 'Downs, Lolidir! 'Dedicated', you say, eh? I prefer to name it 'obsession'. Ah, well. Enjoy your death!

Welcome to the Downs, Morquen.

Unlike a Chat Room, it often takes a while for someone to respond to your post in a Discussion Forum, so you may need to wait a little bit. In the meantime, it's worth reading a few of the threads here to get a feel for the place - and the forum FAQs, if you haven't already.

Edit: Link to Forum FAQs

Hello, newbies. If you are familiar with Lord of the Rings (the book, not the movie), check out our Chapter-by-Chapter discussions. We start a new chapter every week.

Hey, there's your list right there, Gil- that blank sheet of paper on the table there.

Hi, Elonve!

Well, if we're promoting threads I may as well promote mine. If any of you newcomers are into music, do feel free to check out the Track-by-Track thread. Thither we discuss the LotR soundtrack.... sadly we're a bit short on participants...

Sting Hi

Hi, I'm Turin, and I just joined yesterday. Needless to say, I love all the stories of Middle-Earth, and the movies. This site interested me so I decided to join in case I ever wanted to talk with you guys. I hope to have some fun and have some questions answered by some fellow Tolkienites!

Tolkien Hi

What's up! I'm new to the site and the title said to introduce yourself so here I am. I've been a Tolkein fan ever since I read the Hobbit in third grade. I own all three books and I have The Fellowship of the Ring 2nd edition. One of my friends told me about this site so here I am. I loved all three movies and I think that Peter Jackson did the best anybody could do with The Lord of the Rings, visually that is, so don't say otherwise. I'm a rising junior and I like sharks.

Hi, I'm Kahnshefal, a Goblin. Just tried the name generator here and got some interesting results, but I actually got my name from a goblin name generator at http://www.jaqdhawkins.com/name.php

Looking forward to chatting to others with fantasy interests.
