I just found this site on the MET 100 list (Middle Earth top 100). There were no votes for this site, but it happened to be near the top of the list anyway.

Hobbit Sherriff, Welcome to the Forums. This is a great place for discussion and Tolkien trivia. And newcomers are especially welcome. There are many threads here that a "Hobbit Sherriff" might join in; like Trivia for the Shire and Breeland. Find a thread you are interested in a jump on. I'm not an old timer but you will find yourself welcomed by them too! You say you have been a fan since 1972. What got you interested? Again welcome. Nice to meet you, Bear an Elf-Friend

Very nice to meet you!! I hope that you find the interaction here as wonderfully satisfying as I do!! There is a lot to learn about all of Tolkien's works as well as himself and a plethera of people to help you do it. If you ever are in need don't hesitate to contact us. Looking forward to reading your posts and hearing you sound off on some of our older topics. The mini-games forum is always fun!!
I've been a member for three years but I post fairly infrequently. I checked my profile and it looks like the last time I posted was two years ago....whoops. I think we had a dead period and I forgot about this place.
I plan to start posting again so see you around :)
