This one goes out to everyone including the oldtimers!

I was just wondering how you found this EZboard and The Barrow-Downs site (considering you've been there). Please tell me here. Thanks.

Re: How did you find the Downs?

You told me a while back about the site, then you told me when you made this EZboard.

What's a burrahobbit got to do with my pocket, anyways?</p>

Re: How did you find the Downs?

I remember how you found it, burrahobbit. You were here when there were just 4 of us...then 8...then 18.... You deserve a personal title (like Galpsi who is now known as The Unquiet Dead)....

Please choose a User Level Title you would like to appear under your name on this board. Make it approriate to the theme of the Downs and yourself.

Re: How did you find the Downs?

I think it was 25 hobbits. Someday Wight I want my own personnel title, but not yet I think.BTW, I like the quizes on your site, they are fun and I know they take some time and creativity on the part on the writers. So thank you Wight.

Re: I feel so special now. Kinda warm and fuzzy.

I found my way here from Entmoot. I`ll whisper this in case Bmilder hears, but I prefer the Barrow-downs which is why I spend a lot more time here.

Look into the http://www.fortunecity.co.uk/library/classiccourt/77/Mirror of Desire.</a> </p>

Re: I feel so special now. Kinda warm and fuzzy.

I've changed Barrow-Wight to just Wight so as to not me confusing with my Sig.

Shade of Carn Dûm is the minimum required for a personal user level title- and it only takes 250 posts. So get busy! <img src=wink.gif ALT="">

Kee answering the original question because I'm kinda curious how people are finding the place.

<img src="http://www.barrowdowns.com/images/posticons/bluepal.jpg" align=absmiddle> Here's how I found Barrow Downs

Well by RKittle's request as to keep to the original topic i shall say this: I was fairly interested into seeing if there were any Hobbit or LOTR fans or sites out there so I simply went to my favorite search engine (northernlight, which has btw never let me down!!!!) and typed Hobbit. Soon i found the 25 hobbits page and i wanted a site that wasn't just for the movies (which the first two rankings were) so I came here and was so pleased i have decided to stay with the Barrow Downs!!(as well as vote whenever i am present!!!)
And that concludes my tale of how i came here!

Goodbye and farewell wherever you fare and may your eyries recieve you at the journey's end!!!!

Um, I could be remembering wrong, but I think I found the ezboard first through the search. I'm sure I must have been one of the first few members. Oh, first I found a really awesome message board called Middle Earth Resource <img src=tongue.gif ALT=":b"> .

How I found the site?
Hmm, actually, I don´t remember clearly since I´ve known it for months already, but I deem to have found it while searching for Tolkien sites on Altavista or through a banner ad.

By the way, could I have a custom title, too? If so, I have to ponder which one could fit...

I did a search for middle -earth pages got xenite and liked the discussions -but thought the way the thread listings ran across and off the page a little bizarre [your st up here is def. one of the best]
... went to 25 hobbits and like Suldaledhel I looked for the first non-movie site and voila-TRAPPEDin a barrow.[my wife will certify this <img src=frown.gif ALT=""> ]
I have found this to be along w/ the gloves off- M.Martinez page to be the most interesting and informed book discussions[ although I like here the most cause I am allowed to say Arwen xenastar and xenarwen and... to reflect my strong feelings about... well I better not go there <img src=smile.gif ALT="">

I should have turned left at Pismo Beach. [rabbit posticon]

A friend in my department was trying to find movie graphics to show me at the office one day. He raised various sites as a result of his search (which I think was conducted on good old Yahoo). I think we went through twenty-five etc. I later re-examined a few sites from those links and found that this one was fun. Hence...

I had found other Tolkien sites. Planet Tolkien, the Bonfire Glade, Entmoot. They were alright, but I knew there must be a better one out there. When I was searching altavista despairingly one last time, I came across the downs and have stayed with it since. <img src=wink.gif ALT="">

(Make sure you don't give everyone custom titles, Ron! Then I'd feel left out. <img src=frown.gif ALT=""> )

Don't worry, Gwaihir. The Personal Titles will only be given to those spirits reaching the Shade of Carn Dum level (250 posts or more at the Downs).

By the way, do you think the name of Gwaihir, a noble eagle, looks quite appropiate with 'Haunting Spirit', 'Barrow-Wight', Shade of Carn Dum' -- or most insulting of all, 'Pile o' Bones'! -- written under it? I like this name though and I don't think I'll change it.

Well I have found this overwhelmingly great constructed site through 25 hobbits, and it was the highest ranking site not dedicated simply and only to the movies. So I tought Id give it a try and Im never gonna leave now that I have ( sorry Ron cant get rid of me that easily!!!! <img src=wink.gif ALT=""> )

I did a search on the MSN homepage (which uses the Alta Vista engine, I think?). I just went back to see if I could remember specifically what pulled me in, but wouldn't you know it, I couldn't recreate the hit. So I guess that does you no good whatsoever. Oh well. Anyway, I found it, and I like it. I love the tone of the page and the quality of the content. Keep up the good work, Ron!

Re: How did you find the Downs?

My first post on a Tolkien Discussion Board was at 25 Hobbits. I asked a question about Tengwar, and when no one there could help, I found a link to The Barrow Downs and came here and asked.

That was back on August 18th. Ron helped me out on that one, and then I dissapeared for about a month...exactly, and came back the 18th of this month.

So, really, I've been active here about 10 days now...woohoo! But seeing as this is my 60th post, I guess that's pretty good!

Re: How did you find the Downs?

Ok; I checked out the NG's. Those sucked.
Then I learned there were these boards. Typed in Tolkienforum. Got a board. Saw other links to other boards; and here I am, much to the chagrin of all I suppose.

BTW; what are the ranking systems here?
Not that it matters all that much to me anyway.
Just kinda curious.

search engine while searching the web for some texts by JRRT (never found any, in fact, but found this site and want to confirm the best one I have ever seen)

But some Black Riders are after me, so I can't stay. I am on my way to Bree, where I hope to meet Gandalf. He told me to set out by my birthday at the latest, and leave the name of BAGGINS behind me.

What a fun idea! I hope someone catches him. From his post, I'd say he ran off to the Prancing Pony forum.

That was my first post? I could've sworn I'd been here before. Oh, that's right, I was only lurking. I found this place because it was part of The Old Forest's EZboard Ring. I found the Old Forest because someone advertised it on the UBB board &quot;Council of Elrond.&quot; I found Council of Elrond because someone on the Ringbearer board told me about it. I don't remember how I found Ringbearer. Probably a search engine.

I think this site is dark enough to add to my EZboard Ring, so I'll go do so now.

Re: How did you find the Downs?

I don't really remember what attracted me to this site. But it did a good job, whatever it was. I came by to drop a few comments on this board; now I've ended up as one of the senior members with a post count of 500! <img src=roll.gif ALT=":rollin">

How did you find the Downs?

My little sis found it - she was looking for Elijah Wood pictures. Of course, she didn't find any here, but I thought the articles and the name generator were pretty cool. After a bit of surfing, I clicked on the forum link. The rest, as they say, is history.
