"sup i just found this website yesterday and just discovered lotr 3 months ago. Ever since then I have watched all 6 movies, I have read the fellowship of the ring and i am reading the two towers. I have also done research into lotr lore such as the fall of gondolin, the creation of the ents, the elves, the men. Aswell as the orgins of sauron. I am looking to chat with a fellow fan for fun"


This is a new one on me. I wondered if it was mass-generated, as I can't think why I would be singled out by this user.

Hmmm... [In reply to] Can't Post

I haven't seen this before, myself, but something does feel a little 'off' with it to me. But maybe I'm being paranoid.

It's likely spam [In reply to] Can't Post

If you want to PM one of the admins the name of the user, we can look up their registration and take appropriate action. If it's a genuine user who doesn't understand now our message boards work, we can work with them.

Yeah, but [In reply to] Can't Post

If he was promised millions of inherited $’s in Nigeria if he’d only share his bank account number, he might not be willing to share that with everyone and dilute his wealth.

I’m still waiting for my big deposit from Nigeria. Should be any day now, especially since I’ve answered all those offers.

I also received this pm [In reply to] Can't Post

And the author has already posted here about getting into the Boards.
I encouraged him (?) to go to the Reading Room and Movie Discussion Boards (included direct links) to find some great conversations. I truly think we have a newbie just finding his way around the place :) I see he's posting/interacting since then.

We have been there and back again.
