No, not in this thread. Now do you see what I have been trying to explain to you? Each thread consists of a particular topic that is discussed. Anything outside of that topic is off topic. If we didn't do it that way, we would just have one huge, long rambling, chaotic thread discussing a million different things. If you want to talk about something specifically relating to Middle-earth that isn't related to this topic, then you do a search to make sure that a thread doesn't already exist on the topic. If it does, then you post in that thread, if not, then create a new thread. If your topic of interest only pertains to LotRs then post it in the LotRs forum. If it only concerns the Hobbit, post it in the Hobbit forum. If it is the Silmarillion, then post it in the Silmarillion forum, and so on. This forum is for discussion of Middle-earth, which may include subjects that pertain to all the books including the Histories of Middle-earth series.

For example: Talking about Elves, Dwarves, Men, Orcs, would be acceptable, because these are in all the books. However, there has to be a specific topic created for discussion to flow smoothly, and only that topic can be discussed in that thread.

Now, let's say you just wish to talk about Legolas; that would be better suited to the LotRs forum. But let's say you wish to talk about Legolas' line and the Sindar; that would be a Middle-earth forum topic, because then it is broader in discussion and could involve other Tolkien works.

Let's say you wish to discuss Gimli. That is for the LotRs forum. But let's discuss Gimli's descendants; that is broader, and so on.

I can't make it any clearer.

And with that said:

Closing.
