Ahh look at Legolas 2nd favorite after Aragorn - was a bit obsessed over Viggo for a bit - Orlando was easy cause LoTR and PoTC

Would though reopen or brand new?

I always liked Elijah.

I don't know, I asked Lindsay about a re-open, I don't know if we're allowed to start again.

Aragorn was always my heartthrob. I did like Orlando as a child, not so much when i hit my teen years.

All the boards I've brought back started over = BSG|Prison Break|Wentworth, though were 4+ years closed

Viggo was so sexy as Aragorn

I prefer Orlando in PoTC as Will but he was alright as Legolas just didn't hit the spot completely

Too whimsical?

I think it will be a case of what happened at Shadowhunters. Closing ALL threads and opening them all as new with brand new shipper lists and OP's etc.

No idea Shadowhunters was an unique situation though cause of the show being different enough from the books plus it never closed - was open when that happened

But there's nothing stopping us from doing that with this re-opening. I mean, there's so many OP's that are empty and shipper lists with members who aren't around anymore. Starting a-fresh may be what's best. It's just a shame we've missed so many milestones, there's no milestones in the BG. At least, I assume the re-opening is to start afresh.




Might be something to bring up with management.

Yes, Jade, you can add me. I don't know if Thranduil was exactly evil in any way in the book..but he did seem dark and dangerous and volatile in a way that the elves elsewhere in middle earth were not.

As a young teen when the movies came out, I preferred Legolas, Aragorn seemed too old to me. Now, at 30, I find Orlando Bloom is really not my taste at all, and I prefer Viggo/Aragorn's masculinity. I also have a soft spot for Sean Bean.

Its really a tough call cause WM had been closed 3.5 years and right now LoTR has been closed 2.5 years so guess can be brought up when it comes close - yea I started the process back in 2015 when BSG got a new board cause it had been closed 5 years and than same with Prison Break

No i don't think they'd do that. I think they'd re-open the old one and we'd be left to decide whether to start afresh (closing all threads and re-opening) OR carrying on (using all open threads).

Added

If we are allowed to open a new forum, I think it's worth considering a board name change as you seemed confused earlier. I wouldn't want others to get confused. Maybe Middle Earth. Or if everyone else can understand that this board is for everything Tolkien then maybe keep it as The Lord of the Rings.

Not so sure about that Jade if you go into Archived Forums - you will notice 2 BSG boards

I've always liked Sean Bean. Especially in Lady Chatterley's lover.

Middle Earth as a name makes more sense to me...
