Happy Second Birthday, TheTolkienForum.com!!!

[Aulë]

From http://www.thetolkienforum.com/calendar.php?s=&action=getinfo&eventid=54
On August 18th, 2001, THETOLKIENFORUM.com officially became a site all its own, and not simply the forums at THELORDOFTHERINGS.com. Now, just one year later, TTF is considered by many to be one of the best Tolkien discussion forums around. That status, one we all can be proud of, is not the result of good software, or the endeavors of the site's owner. The popularity of THETOLKIENFORUM.com is due to the efforts of each and every TTF member. So, thanks to everyone for a great year one, and year two, three, ....

Congratulations to the Admins and Mods of TTF for such a wonderful 2 years.
I may have only been apart of this forum for 8 months, but I have enjoyed that time greatly, and none of this could have happened without all the behind-the-scenes work by people like Webmaster, ReadWryt and Beorn, who have put countless hours of their own time into this community.

Here's to many more wonderful years for The Tolkien Forum :D :D


PS, No, your clock isn't wrong, it's just that I'm running on Aussie Time, and therefore can celebrate these sorts of things before you. ;)

Here, here!

Three cheers for our favourite forum!

May it live long and prosper.

[Celebthôl]

Ill give um when the day is right ;) :D

[BlackCaptain]

?I dont get it:confused:

Oh well, I'm not surprised this is one of the bigger forums (Tolkien related) on the net. Google is used by the majority of people, Tolkien Forum is probably one of the most used searches that people could type in if they're looking for a board like this, and we are at the top. But none-the-less, I agree. This the best kept forum i've ever been on, and we have the right balance of jokesters, scholars, and YayGollums to make it perfect:D :p :D

[Rhiannon]

?I dont get it

He means, it's not actually the anniversary until tomorrow :)

Hurray for TTF!

[Rhiannon]

Oops, dangit, I'm mixing my people up again. I know you're a guy, honest, I just wasn't paying attention. Can you tell classes started this week, I did a ten year old's birthday over the weekend, and I got up for early service at church this morning?:o

[Celebthôl]

LOL, just please edit that post, i could get torn apart by Aulë and Lanty if they get hold of it.

[YayGollum]

I'm glad to see that I'm appreciated and am not stuck in some common category, but who are the other YayGollums? *eyes dart around with all kinds of eagerness* Oh, and sure, Yay for this place. Why not? It's my home away from the one in real life.

[Nenya Evenstar]

Hooray for TTF! It is indeed a wonderful place that we have here . . . and it's the people that makes it what it is.

A big thank you to all of you who spend so much time here, making everything so wonderful! :)

Thanks to the WM for providing this space for so many Tolkien fans - a place where such a wonderful community has been formed!

Thanks to the Administrators and the Mods for keeping an eye on the place and making it work properly!

Thanks to the Members for their enthusiasm and willingness to share knowledge!

I wish TTF a most successful future and to become a leading Tolkien-related source of knowledge and information to fully rely on and to reckon with! (Imagine the time when people will say: "... And as it was said in TTF...) :)

I also wish it to become even more international ;) :D because it will only bring Tolkien to more nations worldwide!

[Niniel]

:eek:

Long story....wot the heck...

I wanted to change my name from Celebthôl (Silverhelm) to Laurëthôl (Goldhelm)...as i am blonde and it goes better...but Lanty decides that it is Laurathôl and starts calling me Laura and then Aulë does...and months later here we are with Aulë STILL calling me it :rolleyes:

Not really to long :p

No Josephine would NOT fit better *scowles at Elgee* :(

[HLGStrider]

I personally think it is a perfectly good name. . .
