I can really only speak for myself, though I suspect a good number of others had similar experiences.

What I do know is that LotR is an old fandom, and has fans who were fans of the books long before the movies, who probably were glad the movies gave them places like OneRing.net to go and discuss stuff about the books.

I'm not the sort of fan who can go year in, year out on discussion and meta. I'm very much a fanfic reader, and when fanfic slows down, I am prone to getting distracted and wandering off.

But I don't look back on any of my fandoms as childish, but that may be because all my fannish experience onine happened after I reached adulthood - I got my own computer when I was 23, so all my fandoms are adult fandoms. I remember them fondly, even if I have no interest in returning to them.
