Silent Bob (silent? Me?) Posted March 26, 2004 Share Posted March 26, 2004 I know! I had heard of it before GN but I did not take it seriosly. I dont think Ringers is a very good name. Â Naomi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rachiepachie2001 Posted March 29, 2004 Share Posted March 29, 2004 Ringers, comes from theonering.net. They have a new movie coming out called Ringers. It's about all the LoTR fans. Not like Trekkies though, cuz Ringers are more sophisticated . Â I'm definitely a Ringer! Â Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lorannah Posted March 29, 2004 Share Posted March 29, 2004 Ringers, comes from theonering.net. Â Yep that's right, while people who frequent the imdb.com boards are more likely to call themselves ringnuts (ie. Wingnut Productions), well I think a couple of other boards have diffferent names as well - once the hype has quientened down a bit, one name will probably stick (I suspect it will be Ringers, because they're one of the biggest on line communities, they have quite a lot of access to the stars at the torn parties and the name has already got publicity). Ahh well, it'll all sort out, after all some Trekkies think of themselevs as Trekkers instead - it's just what you prefer. Â Lorannah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
