CoE recently had its two year anniversary, and it’s amazing to see how much the site has grown since its initial beginnings. I want to take a moment to thank all of you for visiting the site, and helping to build it with your ideas, your comments, and your content. Additionally, I want to send a heartfelt thanks to the staff, who all do an incredible job in their areas, and help to keep me sane 🙂

The site has been kept busy for the past few months, despite the movies being done and over with, and it would seem from the number of visitors to the site, you all agree that CoE is still a pretty fun place to be! If you’ve been paying attention to changes around the site, you’ve likely noticed new features such as the Gallery Slideshow, spellchecker in the Forums and Journals, and lots of other new features in the Forums and My Account areas.

Our goal from this point forward is to continue to expand our Books section, and add more fun and useful community features, while filling out any gaps in our movie content. Towards that end, you can look forward to the following features being added soon:

– Pick Your Own Path (Choose-your-own-adventure type stories)
– Extended Edition Movie Scripts
– Books vs. Movies (a comparison of the books versus the movies)
– Guestmap (where in the world is everyone coming from)
– Fan Creations Forum (for discussion of Fan Art, Fanfiction, and Last Homely House crafts)
– Several new games to be added over the coming months

We invite all of you to read the Suggestions thread in the Announcements Forum, and add any ideas you might have to improve the site. We really do care about what you want and think — the site isn’t much without its members, and we want to do what we can to make your visits fun and enjoyable. Here’s to another two years of Lord of the Rings news, discussion, and friends!
