Hello everyone!
I joined this site after BittenBuggy pointed me to it... I read some of the posts for a while and figured I was interested enough to join in.
A few things to know about me:
1. I haven't seen any of the Lord of the Rings / Tolkien content other than a few hours' worth (15? 20 hours?) of reading fan fiction on this site.
2. I'm willing to learn everything I need to be a good member of the community.
3. If you scare me, and make me hide in my hole, it's unlikely that anyone but BittenBuggy will be able to bring me OUT of my hole. Don't make me hide in my hole. 
4. I'm willing to learn everything I need to learn to be respected by the community, and get something positive out of my time here.
5. I'm a Trekkie. As in Star Trek. Sci-fi in general.
6. From what I've read of Robbie's posts, I think I shall much like "the Programmer Guy" and his tastes 
So are most of the community members here female? What's the deal? It seems like it's hard to come across a community on the 'net that is sufficiently friendly and close-knit to be worth spending time with... but I really like what I've seen of this community. I've also seen a lot of females compared to the number of male members.
As you can see I can type a lot of stuff in about 5 minutes, so my posts will rarely be short and sweet. I could go on from here, but I have to recall the subject of my post: Hi. All this is MUCH more than "Hi".
Well, nice to meet you all...
G

Hi Gunther.  I'm Dark Elf Childe, or DEC for short, and I'm a scary person when I get hyper, so I'll just stay as far away from you as much as possible, and communicate with some sort of communication...maybe from smoke from a campfire. HA! - backs away and runs-
your friendly elf,
DEC

A trekkie! I live with one of those (used to consider myself one of them ... and then LotR happened)!
Welcome!

Come on Dec, let's go get drunk and improve our communication skills. 
Welcome Gunther,
Hmm, un hombre con nombre Aleman que habla espanol. Que raro chico.
El orificio de esconder....hehe, that's cute.

Okay so I didn't get any of that Spanish Stuff (Feeling a little dumb... there are days when I can't cope with English let alone anything else )....
But 
Hope you enjoy it here and we don't scare you too much

:Only other regularly posting male.
Nice to have one more
Welcome to the forum. This is not only a great place for Tolkien discussion but its great for a fly's view of a hen party. Sometimes they forget we're here (or just don't care)
Enjoy
Inglor

Hey there Gunther, it's nice to meet you. Especially nice to see another Marylander amongst our midst Don't worry about not having nice short and sweet posts, Andreth/Anna is the queen of long ass posts. And her Tolkien related posts are always chock full of useful information. OSA does seem to have a lot more girls than guys, but we're all a nice enough group of relatively sane people. We also tend to be smutty as well, so I wish to apologize in advance for that behavior Feel free to ask questions, we're a talkative bunch as well.

Well! Any friend of BB's is a whipping post of ... wait ...

Get thee to a library, Son, and Blockbuster. Quick.
As you're a treckie (I myself can usually name that OS ep in 30 seconds or less) I have every confidence you can put in the hours.
| Quote: | | 3. If you scare me, and make me hide in my hole, it's unlikely that anyone but BittenBuggy will be able to bring me OUT of my hole. Don't make me hide in my hole. |
Now, I'm very worried for you. It helps to have at least a good sense of humor about onesself if not a thick skin to really get the most out of this place. Still, I'm sure nobody will make you hide in your hole (you have a hole waiting?), but someone might make you feel like hiding in your hole.

Good boy. 
Welcome, Gunther!
