When TheOneRing.net marked its 10th anniversary in 2009, we celebrated in style. In fact, we had such a good time, we decided to continue to celebrate every year on April 26, the date that TORn was established.
Founder’s Day is TheOneRing.net’s official holiday, filled with the best that a virtual party can offer. If your new(er) to the site, it’s a chance to find out about the roots of the site, about the four founders, and/or just explore the place (hint: start with the links on the left of the page).
If you’ve been around for a bit, it’s a great day to reminisce, tell war stories, and reflect on all the adventures and friendships that have been forged over the years. There will be new things popping up all day on several of the message boards — so don’t be shy! Hunt around, find a party game you like, or a conversation you enjoy, and dive in! Or, join us in Barliman’s chat room.
Here’s to our Founders (from left to right below: Corvar, Xoanon, Tehanu, Calisuri). Happy 12th TORNiversary, TheOneRing.net!

Shawn writes: I was trawling the internet and found this interesting “visual bookreport” blog, where cartoonists illustrate their favorite books. Happily, one of the contributors (Sam Bosma) chose to depict a few scenes of The Hobbit. I’m not sure if you’ve seen it already, but I thought I’d pass it along for your enjoyment. More..

Aviation nut Sir Peter Jackson took a break from filming his Lord of the Rings prequel to show off his toys at the 10th anniversary of the Classic Fighters Airshow in Blenheim yesterday.
Jackson is a regular spectator at the fundraiser for the Omaka Aviation Heritage Centre, and chief executive Jane Orphan said he had once again been “exceptionally generous”, putting his private collection on display at the centre’s museum.
