Hello everyone!

So I'm pretty sure everyone here doesn't know me, but I was a regular member of P-T, ages ago. The forum was practically where I live. And then after the movies came out and the hype died down and I went to college, I neglected to come here. Now I feel a bit ashamed to come back after, what, 2 years? Gosh. But I just want to say that I had a blast in P-T, and even though I have to get used to the new (well, new to me) look of the site and all but I'm feeling good! I think I'll make myself comfortable here once again Elk Grinning Smilie

It's great to be back!
-Naira-

P.S. The only name I recognized is Grondmaster. Hiya Grondy! Don't know if you remember me Elf With a Big Grin Smilie

Hey, welcome back!

I'm not sure if I remember you, but I also used to 'live' at PT a couple years back and just returned a month or two ago. You'll find a lot of things & people have changed since then, but it's still good!

Happy PT surfing!

Thanks! Jumping Flame Smilie

There aren't many of the oldies left, is it? I think it happened to all message boards, some of the other book boards I joined also had the oldies leaving. It's sad, but I guess people move on sometimes.

Welcome back to the wanderers! May you stay be even more enjoyable than the last time.

I, too, have returned from a short break thanks to massive lightning strikes in my home town while I was away for a week. Modem blown, telephone blown, computer blown..... taken me just over a week to get a new computer and get back online to dear old PT. Oh, how I missed you all!

All together now - It's good to be back!

Wow, thanks for the warm welcome! Elf With a Big Grin Smilie

It's so good to see the new people coming to P-T, this just shows that Tolkien's work continues to live on and attracts more readers/fans everyday. It's very nice to see.

Yup, she swallows the ones she can't stomach and spits out the remainder to join we partakers of Tolkien, because they're also friendly nutcases who will fit right in with the rest of our happy family. Elf With a Big Grin Smilie

Cloveress unobstrusively slips away... not Vee...of course, she remembers the horrid journey through that fiery stomach... not to mention those long claws, painted red, that first snagged her from the crowd to toss into that bottomless pit of a mouth.

Welcome back,s till. As I've been swallowed before, I don't suppose any of Vee's threats actually mean anything anymore...

Oh, well, it was nothing really. I just happened to have some hookworm acquaintances with me at the time, so I guess they somehow got into her...

But of course, she hasn't tried swallowing Vir yet. Wonder why...Perhaps he just doesn't look delicious enough?

Because I've never been a newbie to her. I've been around way longer than her, even from before Taz moved the site.

Welcome back, Naire. I'm surprised you only recognised Grondy, though. There are several of us veterans around (although some of us are not able to get in as often as we like ourselves). I suppose if I get any more irregular with my own visits, I'll soon have to post a, "Hi, I'm back too," post.

Real Life... It just gets in the way of my virtual life too much Smile Smilie

When I posted that post, I kinda skimmed through the board, and the only name that rang a bell was Grondy. Now that I've spent some time in PT again, I see that there are other names I recognize too. Don't worry, I didn't forget you! Tongue Smilie
