Frequently Asked Questions

We get a lot of mail from a lot of people. Often, the letters ask similar questions. So in order to answer questions for you easier, check out our answers to these Frequently Asked Questions.
General Lord of the Rings Questions

WHERE CAN I FIND WINDOW 95/98 LOTR THEMES?

There are many ways to find these themes. You can type in 'Lord of the Rings Desktop Themes' in Yahoo! or any other major search engine. They usually list all of the available themes.

WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT SUCH AND SUCH AN ACTOR DOING SUCH AND SUCH A ROLE?

While we at the TheOneRing™ would like to engage in intense debates with each and everyone of you over casting ideas, we can't seem to find the time. Why not send your ideas over to the Message Board and talk with a fellow Ringer?

DO YOU KNOW HOW I CAN GET A PART IN THE TRILOGY? HOW DO I GET IN TOUCH WITH PETER JACKSON?

Sorry, we don't know the number of the casting agency for the trilogy. While we do have some contact with New Line/Wingnut/3foot6 representatives, they don't want their addresses released to the public. Plus, we try not to bother them, so we only talk to them on special occasions.

CAN YOU GIVE ME PETER JACKSON'S ADDRESS?

No, we cannot. While we do not have first hand contact with PJ himself. I'm sure he would not like his address published on the internet.


TheOneRing.net Questions

WHAT ARE SOME OF THOSE ABBREVIATIONS YOU USE?

Here's a few of the abbreviations you may see on this page:

LOTR = Lord of the Rings
PJ = Peter Jackson
FOTR = Fellowship of the Ring
(any initials) = I tend to get lazy and write actors/crew names as initials, I usually write the whole name at the beginning of the paragraph

WHAT HAPPENED TO THE OLD PAGE XOANON AND TEHANU HAD?

The OLD site as we call it, was http://members.xoom.com/Xoanon/LOTR.htm (or something like that) Once Xoanon came into contact with Calisuri and Corvar, we changed domain, design and became a bigger and better site!

WHAT ARE YOUR REAL NAMES?

Xoanon = Steven Spielberg
Tehanu = Maia Spirit
Calisuri = Baby Stewy
Corvar = Corvar (that's a true story)

WHAT SOFTWARE DO YOU USE TO PUT THIS PAGE TOGETHER?

A variety. Since we have several staff members, and each has his or her own preferences, the list varies wildly. For example, Xoanon uses Netscape Composer, Photoshop. Tehanu logs on to the net using her mystic powers. Calisuri on the other hand is very proud of a couple things...as these graphics show:
Made with a Mac. Not a crap PC!
And no stinkin Graphic editing programs!

HOW DO I (USE SSI, DO FRAMES, MAKE ANIMATED GIFS, WRITE HTML, WRITE CGI SCRIPTS, SETUP A MAILING LIST, ETC.)?

We'd like to help you out, but we all have school or jobs in addition to doing the page. You should check out Netscape, Builder.Com, or browse around Yahoo for help.

WILL YOU HOST MY SITE?

We get a lot of requests to join TheOneRing.net, but joining is by invitation only. Sorry.

WILL YOU MAKE ME SOME COOL GRAPHICS?

We really don't have time for that. If you offered some $$$, some of us might make some time though. :)

AREN'T YOU AFRAID PETER JACKSON WILL USE HIS DARK POWERS AND TRACK YOU DOWN?

Not really, we tend to stay out of their way so they don't really bother with us. Personally I would hope he likes our site and checks it daily!

CAN I RIP OFF STUFF FROM YOUR PAGE?

We can't very well keep you from hitting that right mouse button, now, can we? However, if you "Xerox©" our site, we can almost guarantee you won't get as many hits as you would if you were simply putting up something original. E-mail us at: xoanon@theonering.net
