I'm gonna say the "Of the Ainur" chapter of the Silm, even though I'm probably wrong.
"Of the Rings of Power and the Third Age".
Arrrrggg, i knew that one too, i was just a few hours out 
, you are a fast one Vir!

Virumor has the correct answer and the pretty bauble. 
Who replaced Thorin as King under the Mountain
Who replaced Thorin as King under the Mountain
Dain II 'Ironfoot' was the new King under the Moutain, when Thorin died in the Battle of The Five Armies
Correct Loss, you get the Pseudo-Silmaril.
Who or what threatened to squeeze Merry in two
Who or what threatened to squeeze Merry in two
That would have been Old Man Willow??? Then dear ole Tom Bombadillio came and saved them with that classic tune *starts to whistle*
You got it Loss; 
however, you forgot about our 24 hour rule, which is only applicable to this thread. 
Why did the name Boromir mean so much to the Rangers of Ithilien
however, you forgot about our 24 hour rule, which is only applicable to this thread. Why did the name Boromir mean so much to the Rangers of Ithilien
This is an easy one. The Rangers of Ithilien were led by Faramir who was Boromir's brother.
Correct Elendae, you get the Pseudo-Silmaril. (They, the pretty baubles, as you probably already know, are more of an honorary award. We haven't been able to obtain F’anor's recipe and without the light of the Two Trees they seem sublimate during shipment to the awardee.) 
Who was famous for growing the crop of mushrooms

farmer maggot.
Elrose has the answer and a pretty bauble.
What did ’owyn and ’omer give to Merry as a farewell present
What did ’owyn and ’omer give to Merry as a farewell present
A silverhorn
Yup, a Dwarven made horn of silver, which was engraved with horsemen spiraling around it and it came with a green shoulder strap. It was part of Scatha's hoard and Eorl had brought it with him from out of the North as an heirloom of the Rohirrim. Mellon gets the Pseudo-Silmaril.
Where did the Orcs and Elves fight the first battle of the Wars of Beleriand
Where did the Orcs and Elves fight the first battle of the Wars of Beleriand
This one's a bit tricky as the forces of Morgoth split to surround Menegroth (I believe that was the aim), but I'm fairly sure the eastern force of Orcs were engaged before the western force. Therefore, I think the first battle was fought "north of the Andram and midway between Aros and Gelion" [Silmarillion, page 96] ending with the death of Denethor on Amon Ereb, which was avenged by Thingol to end the battle.
Well I was after 'the valley of the River Gelion', which is a little too simplistic. Elendae's above answer is much better so he gets the pretty bauble.
Who unwittingly sent Gandalf to imprisonment in Orthanc
Who unwittingly sent Gandalf to imprisonment in Orthanc
Radagast the Brown.
He is the Istar that done the non-dastardly deed, so Virumor gets the Pseudo-Silmaril.
Why did Saruman wish the Necromancer to remain in Dol Guuldor
Why did Saruman wish the Necromancer to remain in Dol Guuldor
Because he wanted that THE ONE RING should revale itself
Correct Mellon, he wanted it to reveal itself; you get the Pseudo-Silmaril.

It was the elves of Imladris singing to Bilbo and Gandalf when they returned from Erebor.
Yes Elendae, you get the pretty bauble.
In what month and year was the Fellowship of the Ring published
In what month and year was the Fellowship of the Ring published
29 July 1954 - admittedly I had to look up the answer... Sorry Grondy - knew the year but not the month.
No problem Tin’viel, I didn't know the day of the month. Anyway Tin’viel gets the Pseudo-Silmaril.
Someone forgot to post the question yesterday; I wonder who that was. 
Of what material was the Tower of Orthanc made
Of what material was the Tower of Orthanc made
Unbreakable rock/stones
Yes Mellon, you get the Pseudo-Silmaril.
I always liked to think it was made of a tempered obsidian, which wasn't brittle like natural obsidian, which comes in reddish-brown and black; it is quite glass-like and the far-western American Indians had an expanded trade in it as it could be into knives, scrapers, and spear and arrow heads just like flint. It is found in great abundance in central Oregon.
Who advised Farmer Giles of Ham to take some rope with him as he was preparing to hunt Chrysophylaz, the dragon.

Oh I borrowed this book at the library a long time ago and I had to look this up ..sorry but the answer you are looking for is :THE PRIEST I think
Yes, it was the Parson (Priest/Cleric) but as Mellon answered it inside my 24 hour rule, he doesn't get the pretty bauble. Sorry.

however, you forgot about our 24 hour rule, which is only applicable to this thread. i am sorry, but i have an annoying situation, the time you log on is the time when i am asleep, and vice-versa, so by the time i get to log on in the evening at my time it has already been answered, so i posted that one as i rarely see this thread with a question unanswered
haha Mellon is a lady, i thought everyone knew that
Everyone might've known, but did anyone know? And while we're at it, did someone know?
well i knew............. although once i must admit i did assume she was a he, but that was a while back, when i was young and reckless......
My bad! 
I also knew Mellon was called Mom, and I had her so listed in the first post of our Gender ID Thread under the Forsaken Inn.
Now back to the question: No it wasn't Legless; this sentient being was in a different book. So the question remains: Who said 'My poor legs, my poor legs!'

What were the two chief ports of the Falas
What were the two chief ports of the Falas
Dunno what you exactly mean.. But its either Pelargir and Umbar, or Edhellond and Dol Amroth.
No, Falas, before it was submerged with the rest of Belerian, was located to the south of Nevrast.
Eglarest and Brithombar.
That's them Virumor; you get the pretty bauble.

Golden_red has it and the pretty bauble.
We have to have a hard one to balance some of the easy ones. I could have asked 'where did E’l live', which would have been easier; easier to look up anyway.
Who took Merry and Pippin to his house during the Entmoot
