Your welcome. I have been a member since September last year. I havent got the greatest of knowledge of Tolkiens work, but from being here and reading the topics that members have done, is helping a lot. It would be great to study elvish. I do alot of drawing, and at the moment I'm doing a few of my own designs based on Tolkiens work. Once I have finished I will post them on my website. Once again I hope you enjoy the forums and look foward to seeing you in the forums.
Hi, it's nice to meet you. A lot of books there, more then me definitely. The fact you have an E.L.F. account really shows you're a great fan, so you definitely earned my respect for that.
mouth of sauron, I been looking to do what you suggested,join a Ranking Kingdom but I am not sure how to. And return my regards to your master. I am Female. When I became a Citizen of the United States 3 years and four days and 2 hours and 47 minutes ago, I changed my RL name to Arwen Legolas. And belief me, you are not the only one. I get mail addressed to Mister Arwen Legolas Wilson all the time. Some even call me Erwin.Lol I am looking forward to interacting with both of You.
The Might I started to buy those when I caught on fire for Tolkien. I also have the HoME on my PC, so if you ever wanted some excepts, just holler.

Hello there ArwenLegolas, There's nothing more beautiful than a growing and prosper board such as ours.I'm happy to have you around m'lady and if anything puzzles you about TF I'll be more than delighted to help you go through just like mostly of the other members here. "Mae govannen mellon" and welcome to one of the largest and most challinging Tolkien community to have ever walked the face of the Middle Earth. "I are Rumil and me from Lorien" Tolkien provides lots of alternatives to cover the multiple skills users have and if you find any posts that belong to me and contradict what I just said, I simply suggest to ignore them. Tolkien Forums has new features, unique in Tolkien world, and it's constantly improving. For this reason, TF is and always be diferent if not even better from all the other sites. We're a bunch of friends at the moment but we're having fun, we chat, we elaborate issues regarding Middle Earth and Tolkien, we try and manage to create a suitable atmosphere for our very different in hobbies and interests members and till now things went just great.Hope you'll join us spiritually as well and you'll tell us something about yourself in the apropriate thread: << link >> (if this doesn't work try: http://www.activeboard.com/forum.spark?forumID=77580&p=3&topicID=10405379 *Pops out*
<ok, I edited the post already 3 times, copy paste the link into your internet browser, ohh and could somene give a fair clue to this confused elf why are the colors,links etc not working!!!? thanks in advance>
Seems to work. Just write the text you want to be a link down then highlight it and click the Link icon. Then just type in the Url and the link name again and it works.
Rumil it is my pleasure to meet you. Such an outstanding Scholar, somebody who developed the entire Tengwar. I will certainly ask for help if I need it. I am not bashful. But I am not sure what you would me to share in that thread you mentioned. Like from which sites I been banned or suspended. Or which sites I still belong to and am trusted? Or personal stuff like hobbies, occupation etc.

That's the beauty of this thread. There're no rules to follow, no instructions, no resctictions. Just tell us what comes first on your mind. What you want us to know about you. Just the general TF rules to be remembered. Ohh golly gosh, did you say you got banned?! Wait a sec to get some popcorn ...*waits* okkky go ahead ... :D Seriuosly you should say a few words about the girl ArwenLegolas but only if you want. I am always curious and willing to know my mellonins both sided ;) Hugs
Well Rúmil, I got banned from the LOTR Plaza at least 5 or more times. The reason was because of a big misunderstanding. I asked them to take my and my husband's name out of their records. They said that they had, but later when I returned and had been really busy as a Hobbit, I was suspended. They said I had a Duplicate account. I didn't know that I did, I had thought that they had honored my request and removed my account, but they had not. But that one is the only site that ever banned me. The very first site I belonged to was Council of Elrond. Then in October of 2004 I joined TheOne Boards and I am still there. I also belong to several Harry Potter sites. My husband and I live in Pasadena Texas. I have 3 grown kids, 31, 27, and 24. My hobbies are Tolkien writings, I am a member of a local Inklings Group, Harry Potter, cooking, singing and playing several different instruments. I have a Nutrition Consulting Business and have a background in Herbology, Nursing and I am 2/3 through a Criminal Justice Degree. I hold a Level III and II Reserve Peace Officer Certification from CA. I also have a Personal Shopper Service and I am a State Certified CNA. My husband and I enjoy playing Scrabble and LOTR Monopoly. He has a Business sewing making LOTR and RenFest Costumes as well as regular clothing and alterations. We also belong to the USS Spiritwolf where I am the Ships Medical Officer. It's a Star Trek Group. I enjoy reading Fantasy novels. Also Star Trek, Star Wars as far as science fiction. My favorite Authors other then Rawlings and Tolkien are Katherine Kurtz, Ann McCaffrey, Elizabeth Moon, Roger Zelasny and Terry Brooks. I am active in my Synagogue and the Jewish Community in the Houston Area. I have one Grandson, his name is Bastiaan Jelle and I think he is about 6 years old and lives in the Netherlands.

Banned from the Plaza? Welcome to the club. Because of breaking some minor rules without intention I was suspended from there. Any attempt to return to the Plaza was unsuccessful. And the worst part, they can't even find a good reason not to let me back. They say "I've caused too much trouble to be allowed back", but they have no proof to back that statement up. They are very ban-friendly, and for this matter they can unfortunatley afford doing it, since new members join every month. But, in time I've made my peace with them, if they ever will let me back, I'd like to go say hi to some old friends over there, but definitely not a long stay. Enough plaza for me.
Nice to see you're in so many organizations linked to fantasy, definitely shows you're passionate about it. I might consider joining a similar group here in Germany, but I haven't made my mind about that yet.
And about Herbology...you'd definitely be good friends with Neville Now I seem to realise a certain connection between the name Longbottom and herbs In LOTR Longbottom Leaf is one of the finest varities of pipeweed, and in HP Neville Longbottom is a really good Herbologist I wonder if JKR took the name from LOTR...
Anyway, thanks for sharing that with us, definitely a good way to get to know each other a bit better
The Might, what was your name on the Plaza? I started with ArwenLegolas and then Changed it after Paard Dunami suggested Arwolas. Then I was Peregrina Took with Arlo and Laebeth for grandparents when Eowen adopted me, then I was Lindor, Alcarinquiel, Gimlielwen, Lynn Vorondil, Firien was my father and Nurdoriel my mother. They were also both banned. They accused Nur that she was me. And Firien was banned because they said he was fishing for girl friends on the site. Which is ridiculus of course since he is a Professional Photographer and travels in circles most of those people wouldn't be getting an invitation to come and clean tables. Súlimé, Mireya, and a few more which I cannot remember. I get seriously hooked on the site once I start posting there. It's like an addiction.

The Might as well Well...strange to hear about that kind of a reason for a ban I mean, actually all they need is a mail from a member that doesn't like you saying you sexually harassed them via e-mail or something, and you are certaintly doomed That's why I don't like the Plaza On the other hand, actions of older members which would deserve a ban are overlooked often The site is nice, but the Spartan way they rule over it isn't It's not easy to be an admin of such a large site, but I'm sure more capable people exist there
I was like a babe in the woods. Never belonged to a large site. I even asked Protoguy what "A Dupe" was. I had no idea. HE never answered me back. If they would have written and said that they do not delete active accounts, I would have known not to apply for another account and just would have changed it from one to the other.
