I was there, years ago ... I didn't post a lot, but I did brainstorm a Middle-Earth scenario there that I finally ended up adapting and publishing - in my native German - for the Mythras system (it is still a good fit for Middle-Earth, but comes with its own micro-setting now). So, if anyone's here who shared thoughts with me about a Misty Mountains scenario about a poisoned river and a wounded giant, thank you, and I'll gladly send you a copy (either in German or in English, as soon as I've finished translating it).
Apart from that, I'm really looking forward to the new edition - I haven't played TOR in years, but with a publicity boost, I very much hope that my group will be finally ready to give it another go!
