NarnianTourist, a hearty Welcome to you! Methinks you will fit in here very well with all your varied interests. How special that it was your grandfather who first read you the Chronicles, wow. And so cool you have been following NWeb for a long time already.

But I must say ... I love green beans.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask.

Greetings, friend, and welcome to the forum! Feel free to stop by the chat room sometime.

Might I ask what inspired you to join after so long? As a fellow lurker, such things intrigue me.

I don't really know why I never joined until now...probably because the internet connection at my place was so slow. On youtube, it takes like 20 minutes to post one short comment. I always felt like it would take years to post a discussion topic up here. I'm quite a talker and I love discussing and analyzing film. If my connection is too slow to post 2 or 3 paragraphs, I usually just give up and talk Narnia with my grandfather

Since I recently moved, I have a better internet connection and am able to actually post comments haha. So here I am finally! I still feel like I've been a member since 2004 haha.

Glad you're here, NarnianTourist! In addition to Narnia it sounds like you have a number of interests that fit right in here...several, such as books, movies, and soundtracks, have dedicated threads here in the Spare Oom and you're more than welcome to share your thoughts there now that you have a faster internet connection.

Hello everyone! I'm here because The Chronicles of Narnia has been one of my favorite book series for many years. While I've used Narniaweb in the past a news source, I haven't ever really done much on the forums. Here's to changing that and getting to know you guys better!

In addition to Narnia, some of my favorite things are:
Films (current favorite: Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai )
TV Shows (currently watching: Arrested Development, favorite overall: Game of Thrones)
Video Games (currently trying to finish Sleeping Dogs, and a bit of Minecraft)
Fantasy Books (just finished American Gods and the A Song of Ice and Fire books)

It's great to have another fan thephfactor1! Welcome aboard! So glad to have you here.

A hearty welcome from me too, thephfactor1. Hurrah for Narnia fans! Glad you moved from the news page to the forum. Explore around and feel free to ask any questions.

I must admit, I am curious about your username, aside from the obvious (ph balance and such).

I grew up 60 miles from a stoplight in a tiny mountain town with only 350 people. I love backpacking, hunting, and being out in the mountains.

An official Welcome to you both, Impending Doom and David West. I know you've both been posting since you joined, but it's nice to see your own personal highlights in this thread.

I am curious how you chose your username, Impending Doom. And a high-five to you, a fellow Canadian!

David West, since you're a Narnia book lover, I truly hope your dream comes true to someday direct The Horse and His Boy!

Hi all, I'm Trusty, 22yo male, single, and a graduate student of international relations. I found NarniaWeb in 2006 (when I first joined as 'Servant Warrior') and fell inactive after about a year or so.

As with some of the other users, I was first read the Chronicles when I was a young boy - my mum had a big illustrated compilation of the books. I've since read most of the books for myself, with the exception of the Last Battle. I've been to C.S. Lewis' house in Oxford (The Kilns) out of fascination for him as an apologist (I'm Christian). I also stumbled across the opening beach scene in Prince Caspian a couple of days ago (holidaying in New Zealand)! It reminded me of this place.

Hm, my hobbies are mostly politics-related. I like reading (non-fiction mostly, The Economist, biographies etc), writing, history, international relations and astronomy.

I came back to NarniaWeb for a few reasons - I heard the Silver Chair is in production (massive surprise after hearing that the series had been completely dropped), and also, I remember how warm the community was here. I assume nothing has changed, albeit a down-sizing (but activity just comes and goes doesn't it).

Anyway, that's about it for now, hope to meet you all soon!

Hi Trusty, haere mai back to NarniaWeb! It's always a pleasure to welcome [back] fellow kiwis. (I'm in Christchurch)
Shall we start a grassroots movement to suggest they should return to filming here eh?

Haha! Well I'm not actually kiwi, I'm Australian, but we're your "west island" apparently anyway haha so pretty close! Beautiful country NZ is though, no wonder so many epics are filmed here.
