J.R.R. Tolkien Ping List?
Oyarsa

Posted on 07/08/2008 12:30:02 AM PDT by Oyarsa

Is there a ping list specifically for discussions and/or news concerning or related to J.R.R. Tolkien?

Thanks in advance for your help.

I have received no contacts by anyone claiming to be of a "one ping" list; just "ring ping".

I take it they are seperate lists? Or two nicknames for the same list?

People are being facetious. After all, this is supposed to be fun :)

The "Ring Ping" is what we use for news alerts (for example if pictures of the sets of The Hobbit leaked).

Most of us just hang out in the Hole, depending on work schedules etc. (I visit morning and evening, usually) and keep up this running conversation that goes all over the place in terms of topics.

Anyone popping by with questions or comments about The Books or The Movies, or CSL, or whatever, will be greeted and treated nicely. Spark a level of interest and you'll get a lively discussion.

One ping to rule them all,
one ping to find them,
one ping to bring them all,
and in the freepness bind them.

Since you are also interested in C. S. lewis, as are many of us, maybe the LOTR Ping list could be expanded to an Inklings Ping List?

There is a Narnia ping list, which was kept by DaveLoneRanger, but has since moved on to BlackVeil I think.

I personally would like to see a Lord of the Rings list.

ecurbh is the keeper of the Ring Ping list.

The Hobbit Hole is not only a neverending thread, it is also a topic under General/Chat. If you look at it, it has most of the threads about the LOTR since around the time of the First Movie.

That sounds like a very ominous Ping.

I hope there aren’t nine Riders seeking it, disguised in black. :-)
