Happy, happy birthday to TheOneRing.net!! TheOneRing.net domain name was created exactly 10 years ago today and what an awesome journey it’s been. We can’t thank the founders (pictured below) enough, except to christen this day as “Founders Day” and to continue to celebrate on every Anniversary (who doesn’t love a good party).
A reminder, the celebration on our message boards is still going strong, with many fun activities and many well wishes from our VIP friends. So please join us. Here’s to ten more wonderful years!!

April 26, 1999: the fateful day almost ten years ago that TheOneRing.net domain came to be; the brainchild of four Tolkien fans (Xoanon, Tehanu, Calisuri and Corvar) who had no idea how their little site, meant to give fans periodic updates on the LOTR movies, would grow!
To celebrate, you’re invited to join the TORn Message Boards this weekend for a three-day bash in honor of the 10th Anniversary of TheOneRing.net. Every message board, from Main to Off-topic, will have celebratory activities: puzzles and quizzes, chances to reminisce about TORn, Tolkien and the movies, and even a very special surprise or two. If you’re not already a member, sign up here. The festivities will kick off at noon EST in our weekly Fiesta Friday socializing thread on the Off-topic board and will continue throughout the weekend. Please join us!
Update: the party continues! Come read and reply to messages from some VIP friends of TORn in this thread on our Feedback board.

So for any of you Canadian Ringers out there that live in or near Calgary, Alberta (like me!) who want to see Sean Astin and some other really cool guests, I suggest you come, it’ll be great!
