Um yeah Im 3 minutes new, this is my first post.

Estelyn Telcontar · 06-21-2004, 02:59 PM

Welcome, nawherra, Lûthien and all other newcomers! Hope you enjoy yourself here - if you have any questions that aren't answered on the Barrow-Downs FAQ thread, you're welcome to send one of the moderators a Private Message. We'll do our best to help!

Greetings and Salutations,
I am Lady kealin a very old newcomer. I am soon to be 51 years old and have been a fan of Tolkien since my early teens. I am married to a scotsman, kilt wearing , bagpipe playing, head of Clan Gordon for Indiana and Kentucky. He reminds one most of a cross between Gimli and one of the Urukhai. Gads what a
picture.

I am the eldest girl of seven children. Being sixteen years older than the younger siblings, I used the Hobbit and LOTR as bedtime stories. That begat the rest of the family as Tolkien addicts. Well that should be enough to be going on. I rather jumped in here without even a pocket handkerchief. Elen silva lummen omentilmo. Lady Kealin

Estelyn Telcontar · 06-24-2004, 10:48 AM

Welcome, Lady Kealin! You'll find that quite a few forum members have been fans of Tolkien's books for many years! To get to know some of them, check out the Tolkien Coming of Age Club thread, where you'll not only find a comfortable rocking chair to sit down in, but also lots of entertaining stories to read. (The first post there links to the predecessor thread, where everything started.) Hope you enjoy yourself here!

Hello everyone,

My name is Dylan, and I'm a Tolkien fanatic as well as an internet junkie. I spend most of my time online obsessing about the work of Tolkien. I'm a moderator on LOTRUK.com and I have recently taken the decision to build my own forum to show my admiration for Tolkien and my love for his work.

Offline, I'm a student at a 6th form college in the North-East of England, UK.

07-13-2004, 01:39 PM

Hello evrybody,

I am Elen, and I live in Holland (Uquendor). I discoverd this site last week, it has been a long time, since I had my english classes, so I hope my English will do. I read most of Tolkiens books.

07-13-2004, 02:23 PM

Hi there! I'm new here but I'm not new to forums at all. I'm a mod on the Gamezville forums (www.gamezville.tv). My name's Joe and I'm from Manchester. I've mainly come here to role-play as this place has some excellent looking scenarios. I am new to role-playing, since almost all of my friends think it's nerdy so I've been put off the idea a little.

I've read the LoTR trilogy, the Silmarillion and The Hobbit. Peter Jackson's my favourite director, but not for the LoTR movies, but for a film called Braindead some of you may have heard of.

Lady Gamgee · 07-25-2004, 07:15 PM

Hi. I'm new, just joined today. Like everyone here, I'm a huge LOTR fan ... SamWise being my fav. character. I've watched the movies & am in the process of reading the books. Started with "The Hobbit", and am now in the "Two Towers" book. Anyhow, just wanted to introduce myself & I look forward to hangin' around the boards & talking with y'all! Have a good one!

Gil-Galad · 07-25-2004, 07:31 PM

Hello I'm new here, I just joined this afternoon, but I don't know how to work or do anything on here so if someone could tell me or somthing it would be GREAT!!! If you want to know more about me or anything, don't be shy, just ask!

Thank you Linlaith. I tried to change it to Lalaithamin, ( My Laughter ) but I found out that I can't. Kind of a uh-duh thing, but who knows!

Sirithheruwen · 08-02-2004, 11:21 AM

I was gone on vacation for a month and now I'm back. My, how everything has changed! New members, new threads, new posts. I suppose I was just naively (sp?) imagining that time would stop here at the Downs and I would come back to it exactly as I left it.

Wow, it's good to be back...

Lhundulinwen · 08-11-2004, 07:01 PM

Hello everybody, and welcome to all the newbies (and welcome back all y'all other peoples)! Especially-The riders of Rohaan and Vlakorados! Sibling rivalry... I wonder how many siblings we actually happen to have on here? Anyways, I'm back, and I hope everyone had a safe summer so far!

Feanor, GCSEs are national exams you work towards for two years, doing pieces of externally moderated coursework for each throughout, then take the GCSE exams at the end of Year 11 (American year 10). Most pupils take 8 to 10 GCSE subjects - some schools, especially private ones, take a subject a year early (for example, I got the results of my ICT this Summer, but I do the other 9 next May). The killers are languages - you get about three exams for each!

Arien - welcome back indeed! I hope you got the results you wanted from your GCSEs

Are you staying on for AS and A2s?

Lurker Bombadil - LOL, I like the name! Glad you finally decided to join us as a member - welcome in your, erm, new position?

Isilmë - Hooray, an RPGer! Welcome to the Downs, Isilmë and, well, I'll doubtless see you around the Shire!

Encaitare · 09-05-2004, 03:43 PM

Welcome! Witch-King

Don't worry, Ohtatyaro. I think we all get past the newbie stage amazingly fast....some of use didn't even wait a week after being welcomed before they started being a welcomer *whistles nochalantly....*

I'm sure you'll post exceedingly well, Witchking, even if you have completely overwhelmed us with your loquaciousness here.

Kidding, kidding...no, seriously, posts should be written wisely which I think you will do. Unlike me...

So welcome to the Downs, have fun being dead, enjoy the conversations you'll get into and show the utmost respect to our beloved mods. We all have great fun here, and if you need any help, we're almost all friendly, and you can PM me if you want to ask any questions. Or anybody else, for that matter.

Oh, and read the FAQ before. It may help. That goes to everyone...

Cheers,

I usually go to tolkienonline.com, and have recently joined with entmoot as well, but am still serching for more. I'm sure that this site will be just as good as the others.

Hope you all won't mind a girl who's looking for help in keeping her devoution to Tolkien books and not totally fall into Rowling fandom.

See you around the boards!

Gil-Galad · 08-02-2004, 05:48 PM

Annalaliath · 09-13-2004, 09:29 PM

My God, I have been gone for a long time. Let's just say I have been in other waters... I still love the Barrowdowns. So hello again guys, maybe I'll stay this time!!!

elronds_daughter · 09-14-2004, 04:02 PM
