What is Tolkien Forums?

Tolkien Forums is designed by JRR Tolkien enthusisats to allow like minded others a place for discussion, challenge and general fun. It is very new at present so contains limited, though exciting features including Polls, Quizes, Tolkien links directory, Quotes pages, ranking systems and More!
Some features may still be under construction at present but all are useable.
By far the main feature on Tolkien forums is its activeboard homepage consisting of more than 45 Forums, some of which are for high ranking members and administrators.
You will find Beginners, fanatics and loremasters on the forums so your questions will receive the answers your looking for. Again I must stress that being a new website members are limited but the members who are here at present are very active.

How do I register?

Registration on Tolkien Forums is free and very simple.
To register with Tolkien Forums
Enter your details (* = required) and then press 'submit'. Your form will enter the system and you will be notified by email of your registration. In that email there is a link which MUST be pressed in order to fully activate your Tolkien Forums acount.

Note: To avoid a notification by the moderation/administration team please stay active. If you are inactive (E.G. have not even viewed Tolkien Forums) for 3 weeks or more you will recieve notification.

Usernames

When you register with Tolkien Forums your first detail you will need to enter is your username. Try to keep it related to Tolkien/lotr in some way as this is what the whole site is based on. Make sure you can remember your Username, complicated Usernames like 'frodo3671a' are going to be difficult to remember. Alternatives could be simply 'frodo' or 'frodo123' or 'frodoabc' etc.
Try to keep usernames to a maximum of 2 words and avoid complicated symbols etc.

Keep them simple and original.

How do I make the most of Tolkien Forums?

Many members choose to simply confine themselves to the main Tolkien Forum features such as the forums and the Knowledge center. This is fine but as its all included in your free account why not use the other site features???
The Polls will be indepth questions rather than quick easily answered statements. Use them.
Suggest your favourite Tolkien websites in the links directory
 so that other Tolkien fanatics can see them and possibly register. Choose a Ranking Kingdom once you have registered straight away and of course use the Tolkien Forums Chat Room, Maps of Arda and Gallery.
