Ok i may be a little slow here, but until Elijah mentioned it on NY Graham Norton, i had no idea thats what LOTR Fans were called! Ive never seen any of us refer to ourselves as that!!! It sounds a bit.....dodgy!! or is that just me?!!?!? How long have we been called Ringers for!?

I dont like 'ringers' it just dont sound right, i think we should have our own name, after all we are the elite LOTR fans on here :D

Too right B) I've heard it before, mainly on theonering.net website, I think they call themselves Ringers, but we should have our own name definitely :D

Ringers, comes from theonering.net.

 

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.
