We are looking for our original TR members from way back (2000? or so) when we first started Tolkien's Ring.
We would like to have a Prancing Pony Chat in the near future.
If you are interested in joining our chat, please to get in touch with us HERE on THIS THREAD if you are interested.
Or do you know someone from way back then and can get in touch with them somehow to let them know we are looking for them?
This forum should be OPEN to anyone and for people who once belonged to TR but have strayed or just peak in occasionally for old times sake.
Please let us know if you are interested on THIS THREAD. We will get in touch with you and give you the link to sign up for the chat.

I was not an original member but I would like to join the chat if I'm available that day.

Freddie, you are an original. Maybe not of the time of the B&N classes original, but you've certainly been much more a part of TR than most.
So, please do come to the chat. We would miss you.

Of course, you are wanted there! This is not for the original members only. This thread is to try to reach out to all of them in the hope someone will see it and contact us. Many have gone on their way and we wanted to reach out to them.

Putting this here in hopes of inspiring any of our folks to nostalgia.
I've been reading Adventure in Middle-earth, again, for the umpteenth time. And the spin-offs and comments, too! They can be found still. On the Roleplay board.

We had A LOT of fun taking turns adding to that Roleplay story. I should read that again, too! Brings back some great memories.

I started reading Adv in ME again. I got up to message 32. But I noticed that some of the messages were deleted by the person who posted them. Did we do that ourselves or what? I know I screwed up the story in the beginning by diverting from Tom Bombadil's house to Rivendell. So maybe these deleted posted were deleted because someone messed up??? Not sure.
But it is fun reading this again. I love the references to our posts on the forum and them getting into the story. And Megn1 chasing a huffing puffing small green dragon named Karo6 who wants to open an Orc Rehabilitation clinic! And Trotter being lost forever in JRRT's first transcripts.

I think some people made comments to the thread, so those were deleted. We did have to do some course corrections here and there. I remember having in chat meetings about some of the structure and plans for the future. It was so much fun to write with everyone, way back when and the time we revived it in 2013-ish.

Hi there, Storm! How are you doing?
I must admit, I was not an original member either. I did not follow any of those famed B&N classes. Tolkien's Ring already existed, back then on those ancient msn communities, when I bumped in, somewhere in 2001. And I know I've strayed... When was I last in the neighbourhood? Many years ago!
It seems that a sparrow flew out, somewhere to a faraway land beyond the deep waters, and landed on the shoulder of a wood elf. That elf shot an arrow (with a message) in my direction. Although the road was a bit overgrown... weeds, ivy, an entire oak blocking the path... still, I managed to find the way back.
So once again, nice to meet you all!

Androga! Yay! Good to see you again. Yes, you are an original TR member!
We are going to plan a chat after the holidays on the Discord channel. Did Pearlbloom pass on the information to you about Discord? We haven't set a date for the chat yet.

This is DA. It was very nice to see you on Discord, though at first I did not know who you were, because of the different nickname. But, as soon as you said that you would love to chat at an earlier hour, I realized it was you! Hope to chat soon!

20 years is a long history! Bravo TR! I'm glad I was part of it since... 19 and a half years. I feel I have a lot to catch up.
DA, only after logging out I realized that, indeed, my name on discord cannot be linked with Androga. The discord name is an abbreviation of my rl name, Philippe. Especially my surname I kept off the internet for a long while.
It took me some time to link DA with fanuidhol, even while I recognize both your names! :-)
It was nice chatting indeed, even while we kept it short. I remember I could stay online until midnight and beyond, back in those early days. Now I regret it next morning when I stay up after 11...
Logging into proboards proved to be an adventure: my account name (Orgulas) differs from what is currently displayed on the boards. I guess some of the early originals might not even realize that Androga was Orgulas in a long ago past.
Fredeghar, I remember you too! I hope to encounter you as well, once of these days.
