Hobbit Board Instructions

[MajahTR]

The Hobbit Message Board will cover all topics and discussions that deal with J.R.R. Tolkien's book "The Hobbit" and with Hobbits in general.

in looking over the MSN Hobbit Board Archive, i did not see a lot of threads that need to be brought over here at this time.

i will compile a list of fun links that everyone was posting over there for games, info and art on Hobbits. hopefully that list will be ongoing as you all find new ones to add...(one of the cool features of this new forum...we can modify and add info to a post! yaaaaaayyyyyyyy!)

i will start a thread that will have updates and info on the Hobbit Study that is in the making and can run as a companion to the study when it commences.

anyone want to be a Hobbit thread moderator? TR could use you!

click here on the ARCHIVE HOBBIT THREAD so that you can go search for "Pearls of Wisdom" to bring back and share with us here...

I was in a Hobbit study group on the MSN site that was called 'The Ringers'. I've just been looking at some postings which I printed from that group back in the early part of 2004. I went under the screen name Mineralady/Vanye. That is not the same group as the current one is it? I am puzzled, because there are no familiar names to be found which are common to both groups. This is not a major problem--I am just bewildered ! Or am I just nit-picking? Vanye

I think that the MSN site Ringers was McDlt's but she merged it with a proboard site and it is different from the other Ringers site.

Vanye:

The link above is to our original site which was an MSN group just like The Ringers were. We found these proboards and liked their abilities much better than the MSN boards so we left our old MSN site as our Archive Site because there is a lot of good discussion there that we did not want to lose.

You will notice on the top of the Home page of this proboards forum, small banner links that will take you to the old site, the archive forums, our stores where you can purchase tshirts, hats, mouse pads, calendars, etc, and other links.

Our Prancing Pony Chatroom is there, too, which we plan to use for our 3rd Anniversary Celebration which is coming up Jan 29th and 30th....more info on that very soon! You will have to join the old MSN site inorder to get into the Prancing Pony and you should plan to do that BEFORE that big weekend if you would like to attend the 3rd Anniversary Celebration.

The Ringers MSN site has now merged with McDLT's LOTR Forum and is now called The Fifth Age. Here is the link to the new merged site: saruman.proboards16.com/index.cgi

Stormrider, if something is happening at the old MSN boards, I should probably reregister with my new MSN id. Look for it. You'll know it's me since it's another Magpie name.
