[img]smilies/evil.gif[/img] Greetings to all the lingering dead ...
I come to your site via. Lugburz... I was reading up on the Mos and I have to admit, although I have yet to wander through all the Downs, your discussion on Mos was intriguing enough to make me want to join in... So thank you for your greetings and I look forward to reading more [img]smilies/evil.gif[/img] |

Hey! It's another Indian! There are next to no Indians here, well, except me, the guy who be short, and one other person.
Mumbai, eh? I've only been to the airport there. I suppose that counts? But then again, I'm just an NRI, what do I know? [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Aaye! I'm a new member here. I like and recpect Professor Tolkien and his works. I have visited The Barrow-Downs a few time, read topics and realized that you guys have a very interesting LotR place here. I decided to join this.. community ))
I'm 21, student. Like Rohan very much and Itilien... and Hobbiton)) Also I want you all forgive me my future language mistakes. I'm not native english-speaker and, moreover, I'm self-taught in english... so I can make some mistakes. That's all. Nice to see you all. |

Hello. I am new to the Barrow-Downs and I really like this site. I happened upon it one fine morn' looking for backround information for the book I'm writing, on the side I might add. I am hoping to be like the great Tolkien. I am currently a Junior in High School, looking forward to post-secondary education (college).

Namaste Finwe! I had no idea you are Indian. I myself am not, but have spent a good deal of time in the Belgaum area (Karnataka/Maharastra border)and the airport in Mumbai.
It was great fun to visit the old ruins of Vijaynagar and Hampi, or to see places like the red fort and think of Tolkien's world. Almost as if they could have been a part of it! <font size=1 color=339966>[ 8:33 AM February 02, 2004: Message edited by: Hilde Bracegirdle ] |

Oh definitely! They have such an atmosphere of nostalgic regret that sometimes reminds me of the Elves.

Erm...hi, Barrow Down-ians, or whatyoucallits...*points to her name* I am Adueniel! Well, not really. I just got it from the nifty name converter-thing, and really liked it. Anyway, I'm new here, of course, and the subject thingy told me to introduce myself here, so that's what I'm doing.
I have lurked around the forums a bit, and probably will keep doing so. I'm not much of a talker usually, at least until I feel settled in. I'll look forward to my lurkage [img]smilies/evil.gif[/img] |

Hi! I'm a big Dwarf backer!
I love LotR and have been lurking for a while. I read the book after the movie. I like them both, but I like the book the best. Hope to see you around!

I remember hearing the same thing from Bethberry a week ago, and have been itching to say it to any other new member I come across

Hi all, I registered about a week ago, but this is my first post. I don't know much about posting and such, I mostly just like to read posts. I love the Barrow Downs, and I've already directed at least four people here and I'm pretty sure they enjoy it as much as I do.
As far as Tolkien, I grew up with The Hobbit and LOTR, I really can't remember a time when I had never heard of anything Tolkien. The strange thing is that I didn't actually read the books until the end of last year, after the third movie came out. When I first found out that they were making live action movies from LOTR I decided to wait until after the third movie came out to read the books, so I wouldn't be disappointed when I saw the movies. Now that I've read the books I wonder why I waited so long.

Hello, I was registered at the old forum but just lurked so I'm cautiously sticking my head out of the lurkers' lounge to say hi.
I'm Hikaru, living in Tokyo, Japan, and I'm currently re-reading the trilogy for the 6th or 7th time. I've been a Tolkien fan since the late 70's. I'm also finally struggling through the Silmarillion. Love the films too. |

Hi all, I'm yet another dead woman walking!!!
Just thought I'd pop up and introduce myself. I'm an adoring adorer of all thing Tolkien and I've lost count of the times that I've read LotR and The Silmarillion, I just start re-reading as soon as I've finished. My boyfriend thinks I'm crazy and a complete nerd because of my obsession so I thought I'd join up to meet likeminded people who won't make fun of me!! I look forward to getting to know you all!!! |

I'm a newbie here, and thought I might as well post an introduction. I'm a high school senior now and've been a Tolkien fan since second grade...naturally I've gotten used to being called a dangerously obsessed geek. Looking forward to being around those who love the books equally..

Troll Dollls. They were kinda popular about a decade or so ago. They have brightly colored hair that sticks straight up and cute, smiley faces.

Hello! I've been registered for about a week, and I've posted in the Books forum, and at the Green Dragon. I thought I should finally introduce myself. I am a college student on the east coast, and I'm "new" to the Lord of the RIngs world. I finished the books just before the first movie came out, and I've been hooked ever since! By the way, it's great to be dead!

Welcome to all "newbies"! As you have probally had said to you many times before, "Hope that you enjoy being dead!"
Roa_Aife- WOW! Then you truly are a new one in the world of Tolkien. Well then, welcome, Ranger. I look forward to interacting with you more in the Green Dragon Inn and in other places around the Forum. I do like what you said in your post, and if you would not mind me quoting you, Quote:
A few quick hints for all of you new ones to the Barrowdowns Forum, and then I must be off. Post as often as you possibly can, though do maky sure that all of your posts are meaningful. Visit all of the different parts of the forum, for they all contain their own unique things. The role-playing games are fun to participate in, and though there are no new games open at the moment, you may still post in the Green Dragon Inn, which is located in the Shire. Do, please, go to the Shirefirst, though, beforing moving on to Rphan, which is where you will be able to go after "proving your skills" in the Shhire first. Be patient, and if you have any questions just as me or another Barrowdowner for help, we all certainly be glad to assist you in any way that we can. For now, if I wish you all good luck and a safe journey navigating the maze of the Downs. Hope to see all of you around the Forum!
