This is my first post at this board. It was before I had gdl96 as my username. My current username was dmaul966, and this was a post talking about how Jae stole the username dmail96 from, as that was my aim sn.

Re: TPM Sheet Music a Disappointment
this message is mainly pointed to "the jae" (if thats your real name anyway). i am very mad and frustrated at you ing my usual i.d. "dmaul96" i use it very often, and i wished i could hav used it for ezboards, so i decided to search all ez boards to find out who you are, and i have come one step closer. darth tater and bmilder; it would be a great favor if you could help me track this "the jae" down. you can leave a reply. thank you NOTE from the admin: Another funny message. I'll leave this one intact, however. For those of you watching, these are just my friends messing around . (Dmaul96 and Dmaul966)...so like-everony else edited this, so i wanted to too

I'm gonna try to find my first gdl96 post. I could also try to find the firsts post of all my other usernames, but I'm not.

My first ever post is pretty obvious as my first post

I did NOT want to get flamed like the first time I ever came into a message board.

Here it is:
::tries to sneak in inconspicuously, but realizes that pretty impossible::
Might as well dive right in.
I've only seen the movie once, but that's going to change very soon! I was pretty lucky, since the movie theater was nearly empty, and everyone in the theater was fairly quiet. I was there on a Saturday, too. Odd.
Well, it's not exactly a bad experience, but something rather funny did happen. When Bilbo wants the ring back from Frodo and kind of 'transforms', someone behind me yelled "Jaysus!" really loud. Luckily, I managed to only jolt in my seat. I did that a few times, to my father's delight.

Renille · 02-13-2002, 11:48 PM

I had a "hi, I'm new post." I was a very stupid little newbie...wow...I miss those days. (or not!)

Hi, everyone! I'm new to this board, but a pretty good RPGer. I think it's weird...just two years ago I didn't even KNOW about Tolkien's books. and now...well, here I am. I think that his books are the absolute epotime of greatness! I've read the Hobbit, the Lord of the Rings, and am about a quarter of the way through the Silmarillon...parts of it are hard for me to digest...oh,well. Anyway, I know this board will be really fun...hope to meet everybody soon!

Horay! Bmilder finally got something worthwhile to look at on his web page*cough* now only if someone could post here.. I strongly encourage everyone to post on this board. It is really..well..uh..urg..er..well it just is.

That was my absolute first post (and probably something around the second post on the board, but who knows

)

Making fun of the original benjamins tolkien page, with that annoying little hobbit and bright blue background

Good times, good times.

Hmmm...pillow talk....

I brought up the part where the car was moving behind the scarecrow with my friends and one of them said:

"Speaking of scarecrows, why is it covered with crows?"

I just decided to dive right in to the thread with my first post above. I think bropous welcomed me or something.

Darth Tater · 02-14-2002, 10:10 AM

The search feature only finds your first vbulletin post, not first ever. And anyways, that probably dropped into oblivian long ago.

bropous · 02-14-2002, 03:15 PM

LOL, I think my first post was an opening salvo in my worst Entmoot flame war yet [and hopefully the last]. I can't seem to find posts prior to December 28, 2001 though. I'm pretty sure I started posting prior to that.

***anduin*** · 02-15-2002, 01:55 AM

Here is a link to my first post/thread....http://www.tolkientrail.com/entmoot/...=&threadid=578

If you ever get bored it is fun to check out the last pages from different forums.

jerseydevil · 02-15-2002, 02:39 AM

Okay - anyone that has seen my posts won't be surprised by my first.

So here it is from 12/24/2001 made in the The Worst Change in FOTR thread.....

Arwen ruined Frodo's line

Like others - I don't have a problem with them expanding Arwen's charcter - although it wasn't expanded as much as advertising would lead someone to believe.

I figured that Arwen was going to replace Glorfindel - but I thought that whole scene from Weathertop to Bruinen made Frodo look weak.

Frodo's line - "By Elbereth and Luthien the Fair you shall have neither the Ring nor me!" I feel was key to expressing Frodo's strength against the Ring and his determination to fight - something the humans and others lacked.

Also - what was the deal with making him "die" after the crossing and Arwen bringing him back to life?

markedel · 02-15-2002, 06:22 AM

I thing the coolest thing are the people who I addict to the books via the film. It's quite entertaining.

There it is.

Why did Smaug die from a stupid black arrow?

this is my first post!

***Ben*** · 02-15-2002, 07:16 PM

Hehe... you're right Tater that the search will only pick up your posts on vBulletin, but most of the threads from the ezboard are still around too. Check the archive

.

I found mine:

This is the first message on my new message board!

Hopefully this will breathe some life into my web site, which I've been too lazy to update frequently. Over the next few days, I'll be adding some admins and moderators. After that, maybe some people will stumble upon this board and join, so the admins have something to do

. Enjoy!

Darth Tater · 02-16-2002, 09:32 AM

Ok I believe this is my first post:

galadriel88 · 02-16-2002, 11:18 PM

OK, here's mine.

I'm new

Hello fellow Tolkien fans! I am new to this site so if anyone could help me out I would appreciate it. These may seem like stupid questions to you but I've never been in an RPG before. First of all, what exactly is a role playing game? How does it work? Do you totally make up the characters & plot yourself or is it based on something Tolkien's written? Basically, I just want to know some general info on RPGs. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!!

P.S. I'm doing a research paper at school on the life of J.R.R. Tolkien - if anyone has some really good info on him please let me know - Thanx again!

ringbearer · 02-16-2002, 11:28 PM

I think this is it...

Just found this forum!!!
Hello! I have read LOTR 7 times since I was 15(45 now). Just started on #8. Obviously, I enjoy it! I could not enjoy "The Silmarillion" as much...too bad Tolkien (the father) "had sailed to the West"! Christopher is a poor substitute in literary style. He just took his father's notes and wrote an essay! I think we would have all enjoyed it much more, if he just would have published his father's notes. I really do not think JRR intended to write "The Silmarillion". One other reason I think LOTR is so good is this...J.R.R. Tolkien actually believed it all happened!!!

I can't seem to find posts prior to December 28, 2001 though. I'm pretty sure I started posting prior to that. __________________ "...[The Lord of the Rings] is to exemplify most clearly a recurrent theme: the place in 'world politics' of the unforeseen and unforeseeable acts of will, and deeds of virtue of the apparently small, ungreat, fogotten in the places of the Wise and Great (good as well as evil). A moral of the whole (after the primary symbolism of the Ring, as the will to mere power, seeking to make itself objective by physical force and mechanism, and so also inevitably by lies) is the obvious one that without the high and noble the simple and vulgar is utterly mean; and without the simple and ordinary the noble and heroic is meaningless." Letters of JRR Tolkien, page 160.
