I have not found a page for this forum's history, and it seems rather old, and as such I hope it is not spam to ask how this board was started? The entire forum seems rather enchanting... if that's a good way to put it. Thanks.

Wellllllllll... Back in August, there was a board called Golden Eagle Fleet, or GEF. That's where we all used to be. Then, the first Tolkien Forums (as it was called back then) was released. But it was released to prematurely, and it a new site was released, which you are currently on. We posted for a while, until October, when, inspite of the opinions of some members (me ), we moved to an Invision Free site. But then, after inactivity, we all moved back and returned. There was a failed attempt at a Survivor game, and things continued as normal. But the Green Dragon Inn grew too popular, and the real point of the forums, the Tolkien Discussion, was ignored. Then, to fix this, the GDI was locked and the forums lagged...until January, and we kept going on until March left us in a period of extreme inactivity. We closed out, but opened at the end of April. And that leaves us here today, as this was a brief history of the forums.

Raditz summed it up rather well. Yogurt and I originally started Tolkien Forums in August. We settled here after sometime. We've always been relatively small, with only a few active members, but somehow we've managed.

You forgot about the length of time between November and December that GDF was closed..I remember the text:
"We are shut down."

You got the rest, just not that part. Besides, I'd have to add stuff about former admins..and it would go on forever and ever.
