What brought you to Entmoot?

galadriel88 · 03-09-2002, 03:40 AM

I found it when I was doing research for a paper on the life of J.R.R. Tolkien. I searched on this Tolkien - related search engine, and Entmoot came up. It was one of the recommended sites, so after I finished my work, I went back and checked it out...and now here I am!

I was on the Barrow-downs and tey have a link to the Tolkien Trail. So, of course I visited, and clicked on the link that said "Popular Entmoot discussion board" and now here I am.

My only officemate who's a Tolkien fan as well left the company in january and I was left with nobody to talk to on the subject. I went surfing and found Yahoo Internet Life Tolkien Site Contest and found the Moot there. Checked it out and guys like Bropous and FrodoFriend and Afro-Elf seemed nice and so seemed most everybody. I got hooked and now I need therapy.

I told Ben to start it

Legolas · 03-09-2002, 11:24 AM

I was searching for song texts in English on some site. The 'links' part told me to go to Tolkientrail. From it I went to entmoot. And here I am!

emplynx · 03-09-2002, 12:07 PM

I have often thought about this. I wish I remembered.

**crickhollow** · 03-09-2002, 12:20 PM

Yay for the barrowdowns! that's what brought me to you wonderful people!

Via the Lord of the Rings Fanatics . As my interest in all things Middle-earth was growing, I visited a lot of sites. The Entmoot board discussions are the best, and as such I registered here.

Pailan · 03-09-2002, 03:09 PM

I stumbled into here while looking up Tolkien related sights. I am a big fan of Treebeard and company from the book, so this being called Ent Moot and all... It's a nice fit.

What made me stay was the general charm of the members, thoughtful discusions, (except for the whole arwen/liv tyler thing

) good sense of humor and the lack of flame wars.

olsonm · 03-09-2002, 03:31 PM

I was on Michael Martinez's site. He had a link to the entmoot. He said it was the best, most friendly Tolkien board online. He was right.

elf_princess · 03-09-2002, 06:34 PM

I'm not really sure how I got here. I just sort of ended up here. lol

markedel · 03-09-2002, 08:44 PM

Hey Martinez's site go me here too.

Liviaine · 03-09-2002, 09:41 PM

I don't exactly remember how I got here. I think I was searching on ezboard.

Arian · 03-09-2002, 09:44 PM

Through my friend Renille, she kinda forced me

and I'm glad she did!!

Liviaine · 03-09-2002, 09:51 PM

I think I remember now. I was searching on ezboard, and I went to another LotR board. In bmilder's custom signature, there was a link to Entmoot when it was still at ezboard. There, there was a link to here.

Renille · 03-09-2002, 11:38 PM

That was a long time ago...I don't really remember. I think it may have been a google search. Or it could have been the Barrow-Downs. Yeah, I'm pretty sure that was it. I found Tolkien Trail first; I remember that much.

FrodoFriend · 03-09-2002, 11:42 PM

I think I was on some kind of late night craze . . . giving my Tolkien obsession full reign. I surfed into Tolkien Trail somehow, and . . . well, I'd been here before and liked it, but hadn't tried out Entmoot. I must have been either really lonely or really bored so I just picked a random user name and joined in! Now, a few months later, I am hopelessly addicted.

Starr Polish · 03-09-2002, 11:43 PM

I had just seen the movie and wanted, no, needed more. I couldn't get my hands of FOTR, so I was searching around online to find out more about Tolkien, and came across this site. I am hopelessly addicted and couldn't be happier!

the chance to spam my way to the top muhahahaha im about 14,000 off on the ign boards so now im doing double time

Nibs · 03-10-2002, 03:01 AM

I searched on Altavista under "Tolkien", I recall, and ran into the parent site, Tolkien Trail. I decided to enter into the parody contest (which I still think I deserved to win

) and looked at the site every now and then. I eventually ventured toward the entmoot link and registered.

By the way, my entries were "Hobbit's Paradise" and "Minas Morgul", if you care to look at them. I like the former far better.
