I got an email from dreamhost a day or two ago that they moved my domain to a different server, I guess something in the forums broke when they did that.

I had to reconfigure some urls, but everything should be okay again!
So keep hitting that forum button :)

Everyone needs to make plans to be in Bree-town tonight around 9:00 Central Daylight Time. We're going to buy a Kinhouse! This one will be in Bree. We should have all the cash gathered together, and I want to say a special thank you to everyone who farmed cash and donated to make this happen. Even if it was just 100s. It all helps!

You are welcome to bring non-kin friends to the house after we get to dirty the carpets ourselves! We'll have beer and pie and pipeweed to spare I am sure. It'll be a great event! Everyone should try and get some screenshots this time! I always forget. See you there!

After a long while off, Ancients of the Realm is back in Lord of the Rings online! Welcome to the new friends and faces from Windfola. We're glad you're here! Click the Forum tab and introduce yourself!

Hey everybody,

I updated various Drupal modules, if anything behaves funky or is missing just let me know!

Thanks!

I've installed a mod that uses reCAPTCHA, which is a bit different than what we used so far. I've opened up registration once more, and I will monitor how that goes in the next few days. If it doesn't work out, I'll bring out the big guns!

reCAPTCHA helps digitizing old books by using real humans to decipher words. If you want to know more about reCAPTCHA check this out: http://recaptcha.net/learnmore.html

Hi everyone!

We've had an ever increasing amount of bots register for the forums, many with nsfw links/images in their profile, so I decided that newly registered accounts need to have mod approval before they're activated.

I'm hoping to install a mod or two to combat this problem, in the mean time, if you're signing up for the website please give us a day or two to activate your account, thank you!
