Terry Slogan?

[Hookbill the Goomba]

Friends, Downers, Countrymen. I bring before you a proposition.
Wandering the internet is a tiresome business, even for the avid Tolkien fan. Something has attracted those who stay here now to the cosy, timeless life of Barrow Dwellers. But, what about those unfortunate Tolkien-fans who wander, ever seeking, ever searching for that special forum.
Well, I think we need to get out there and make a stand. The Barrow Downs needs to step up a gear and take a more active advertising campaign.



Yes, this is all, as you may have noticed, complete rubbish. But, hear me out. The most prestigious places and products in the world have their own slogans. For example, British Telecom used to have "It's Good to Talk", MacDonald’s are currently using "I'm lovin' it" (In England, anyway. I'm not so sure about other places). And there are many more.
What I am suggesting is that we put our brains together and think of a slogan to go with the site, or the Forum or what ever you like. They can be silly or sensible.
Here are a few of my own Ideas.

"The Barrow Downs:
The Forum that Knows."

"The Barrow Downs:
Your key to the Middle Earth"

"The Barrow Downs:
The Forum that reads you!"

Have fun! :)

[Morsul the Dark]

The Barrow Downs: where the conversation is always up

The BarrowDowns: The one forum to rule them all

There's No frowns on the Downs

The BarrowDowns: Erus favorite site

The Barrowdowns fun for scholars and clowns

The Barrowdowns: let the uncloaking begin

The Barrowdowns Lets face it, what else you going to do?

[Hookbill the Goomba]

Good work, Morsul! :D

"The Barrow Downs:
Now with 95% more 'Gandalf the Grey uncloaked' jokes."

"The Barrow Downs:
Death; it 'aint no thing!"

"The Barrow Downs:
Better than a social life"

[Valier]

I particularily like "The one forum to rule them all!!":D

[Hilde Bracegirdle]

Don't forget the next bit,

...And in the darkness bind them! ;)

How about "Are you up to the Downs"?

[SamwiseGamgee]

The Barrow Downs: Always look on the bright side of death

The Barrow Downs: Coincidental home of The Warg and Warg Rider Appreciation Thread

The Barrow Downs: Dump your girlfriend

[wilwarin538]

The Barrow Downs: Dump your girlfriend

That's a good one. ;)

How about: Your life hasn't even begun until it ends on the Downs. (if that makes any sense :rolleyes: )

[Gothmog]

Or why not something as simple as:

The Barrow-Downs - Enjoy your death!

OR

The Barrow-Downs - You'll end up here sooner or later.

The Barrow-Downs - Where your dreams (and Balrogs) gain wings!

The Barrow-Downs - We don't even need this slogan!

[SamwiseGamgee]

The Borrow Downs: Do Balrogs Have Wings?

Fancy yourself as a werewolf? Visit The Downs

[Morai]

Here's mine:

"Get an afterlife!" :D

Sounds better than the original if I say so myself.

[Elu Ancalime]

The BarrowDowns: The one forum to rule them all
"Get an afterlife!"

I like those. :)

How 'bout:

The Barrow Downs: Once you know your Death, you will embrace Life

The Barrow Downs: Beer, Bones, and Balrogs

The Barrow Downs: Home of Werewolves and Wights

The Barrow Downs: Double Lynch your way into a Barrow

The Barrow Downs: Reborn from Death

The Barrow Downs: Tolkien's Grave (hopefully not offensive...)

The Barrow Downs: Live in Honor, Die in Memory (perhaps to solemn!)

[Hookbill the Goomba]

Here's a few

The Barrow Downs:

- "You'll never leave."

- "The forum that mugs you for your common sense"

- "A continuous Fight to the death!"

- "We have friends *shifty eyes*"

- "Does exactly what it says on the tin."

[Morai]

"A continuous Fight to the death!"
Nice.

Here's another:

"You're SO dead."

Or perhaps this is better:

"You're so already dead."

[Kath]

"The Barrow Downs:
Better than a social life"
I love this one!

Perhaps an extension could be:

"The Barrowdowns:
Instead of a social life"

[Anguirel]

Never mind the University of Life.

Get your degree from the University of Death at the Downs!

[Hookbill the Goomba]

- Part of a nutricious breakfast

Eroding at your sanity since 1418

A bit of a spinoff:

"Sanity is overrated"

"Who needs those friends anyways."

[Hookbill the Goomba]

This is going better than I thought it would! :eek:

Okay, here are a few...

The Barrow Downs:

- "We deny all allegations!"

- (By request of a friend of mine) "It's hotter than Potter!"

- "By reading this slogan, you hereby agree to give us £1,000,000. Each!"

- "A celebrity’s favourite website!"

[Gandalf_the _white]

The barrow-downs: We're here for Frodo!! (and Sam :D )
p.s why does everyone forget about Sam??? Its all "For Frodo " and "Frodo is still alive" what about Sam heh?! WHAT ABOUT SAM!!!????
Right i'm done :D

[Valesse]

I've been advertising the forum a lot recently, so this thread hits a tender spot on my funny bone. :p

The Barrowdowns:

- "Is there anyone we can't uncloak?"

- "Question everything."

- "We give it five scars!"

- "A powerhouse of thought with an eerie green glow."

[Formendacil]

The Barrow-downs:

[Hookbill the Goomba]

The Barrow-downs:

"The World's Last Goomba Reserve"

Hmm. Cant' rep you for that at the moment, but I like it... No idea why. *Whistle*
:D

Anyway:

The Barrow Downs:
- "Clinically tested!"

- "More street cred than an iPod!"

- "Gandalf tested (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v604/hukbillgoomba/BelikeGandalf.jpg)!"

This inspired me:

The Barrow Downs:
You won't get it.

Some more...

- "You must be at least this high. http://forum.barrowdowns.com/ubb/icons/icon9.gif"

- "Wights don't fight... (Because they're not very good at it. :P )

[dancing spawn of ungoliant]

The Barrow-Downs:

- Who let the wights out?

- The answer to our life.

- More than words.

- A view to a kill.



And what about:

The Barrow-Downs - Because you're worth it.

No wait, I think there's some brand that already uses that slogan...


Perhaps:

The Barrow-Downs - Elves and Dragons! (When cabbages and potatoes are not enough for you.)

The Barrow-Downs - We will lynch you and some of us bite.

Hmm, the latter might be a bit discouraging.


Maybe simply:

The Barrow-Downs - Start the path to adventure today!

[Valesse]

"The Barrowdowns: Giving a whole new spin to the grave!"

[Hookbill the Goomba]

The Barrow Downs:

Actually, it's not foul. Foul would be:

*Groan* :rolleyes:

[Lalwendë]

Following on from that idea...


The Barrow Downs

After reading through this entire thread, I can offer nothing more complex, nor more complimentary, than the following:

4.) You are called to exterminate wolves from a village that is near Minas Tirith, now the Island of Werewolves. You are teamed with a Seer, a fellow Hunter and Ranger, and about 15 crazy villagers. How do you do it?

[SamwiseGamgee]

This is somewhat off topic, but if you'll allow me:
I once did a Lord of the Rings exam ie created one. It was as follows:

Candidates should attempt any three questions.
The use of Unfinished Tales, The Silmarillion, The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings (incl. appendices) is permitted.
The exam will last 90 minutes.

1.Discuss, with reference to the relative authorities to support your argument, who you believe Tom Bombadil was.

2. Balrogs don't have wings. Discuss.

3. After the Witch King perished at the Battle of Pelennor Fields Gothmog took over. Who do you believe Gothmog was?

4. Is the mortality of man a gift?

5. 'Had Deagol not found The One Ring none of this would have happened.' Discuss.


And the slogan?
The Barrow-Downs: you'll do the above in a real exam which you will go on to fail miserably and not care. :D

[Hookbill the Goomba]

The Barrow Downs:

- Last Post wins... GO!

- A mild health hazard.

How about these

The dead centre of Middle-earth

[the guy who be short]

A few mottos for sub-forums and stuff. Ripped off from Great Britain.


For the Books - Standing on the Shoulders of Giants.

For the Werewolf games - Nemo me impune lacessit (Nobody challenges me with impunity). Because it's true. Accuse somebody, and they'll probably suspect you back.

For the Quiz Room - Decus et Decus (An ornament and an ornament). Because it's very inactive.

For the Translations from the Elvish - Pleidiol wyf im gwlad. Because nobody is quite sure what it's all about.

For The Barrow Downs (sub-forum) - Honi soit qui mal y pense (Let he who thinks badly of it be ashamed). Because, while it might appear insignificant, this forum rocks. It's a great place to find out more about Downers, and I love the ingenious ways people think up to bypass the "no non-Tolkien related discussion" rule.

[Elmo]

To make sure this advertsing campaign is successful we need to target segments of the market,

For depressives: Feeling down :( BARROW DOWN :D

For teenage boys: Go to the Barrowdowns, Willing Girls Guaranteed - Not a Guarantee

If we were an orthodontist, we'd be plague-free!

If we were agricultural, we'd grow corn-on-macabre! (Yes actually, it is possible, we gruesome before!)
