**TORn's 10th Anniversary and Founders Day Collection**
[In reply to]

On April 26, 1999, TheOneRing.net (TORn) was born and quickly became the place to go to find news, pictures or discussion about J.R.R. Tolkien or all things film-related as Peter Jackson prepared for and filmed The Lord of the Rings. Created by Xoanon (Michael Regina-Canada); Calisuri (Chris Piortta-U.S.); Erica Challis (Tehanu-NZ); and William Thomas (Corvar-U.S.), TORn is still going strong and is enjoying the anticipation of Jackson's adaptation of J.R.R. Tolkien's The Hobbit. TORn's actual 10th Anniversary is on April 26, 2009, but the party spanned from Fiesta Friday on the 24th thru Monday the 27th. On Sunday, April 26th, the festivities turned from an Anniversary Party into the first official Founders Day observance; which will be honoured annually until the last ship sails into the West. Unbeknownst to our Fearless Leaders and most of the TORn community, the lead-up to the Party was hinted at and teased by some brilliant footer pics created by Magpie that randomly appeared without explanation in message-board posts by some conspirators. A new footer appeared each day starting 9 days out from the official start of the party on April 24th, followed by an announcement of the first official Founders Day on April 26th. The weekend was filled with games, memories, and salutations by notables and long-lost siblings of the TORn family. The following are the majority of the links to our 10th Anniversary Party and our first Founders Day Celebration.
