I love the Barrow-Downs first and foremost because it is a Tolkien site, and I can discuss my favourite books here in humour and seriousness! I love that we can make jokes here about books that can be almost treated as sacrosanct! I love the fact that I can talk to real people from all over the world, I've learned a lot from my stay here, not just about Arda, but about other cutures (mainly the British one) and new spellings (which I use outside of the BD as well) and have gotten myself hobbies *coughDoctorWhocough* which I wouldn't have if not for certain members *coughHookbillcough* who were constantly talking about them. I've also made new friends that I'd much rather talk to than my real life friends (excepting Laurinque)! I don't hang around the Books forum much, but when I do get there I find useful things to know, and comment when I can. Although I am not learned in lore like some members, who can probably ramble on for hours about Tolkien, I might be able to chime in with some useful information sometimes. I also love the fact that the Barrow-Downs is black and green, and much more pleasing to come to than some other web sites that have bright colours that make my eyes hurt. Last, but not least, I love the way that your fellow BDers welcome you with open arms, and you can make your home here, with little to no problems! I've been here for a little more than a year, and it still feels like it was yesterday that I joined! I remember my earlier days where I was a bit snobby, and thought I knew a lot, just because I had read the Lord of the Rings, but figured out that I didn't!
