Terry Slogan?
 

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! :)

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?

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"

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

Don't forget the next bit,

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

How about "Are you up to the Downs"?

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

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: )

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!

The Borrow Downs: Do Balrogs Have Wings?

Fancy yourself as a werewolf? Visit The Downs

Random Titles get advertised....
 

Here's mine:

"Get an afterlife!" :D

Sounds better than the original if I say so myself.

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!)

Nice.

Here's another:

"You're SO dead."

Or perhaps this is better:

"You're so already dead."

I love this one!

Perhaps an extension could be:

"The Barrowdowns:
Instead of a social life"

Never mind the University of Life.

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

The Barrow Downs:

- Where your dreams may (read: won't) come true.

- None (read: all) of us are on drugs or medication.

- No purchase necessary.

- Yeah, sorry, it was the best we could do.

- Violence? Nudity? Swearing? Pfft! Of course not!

- Rotting corpses? You bet!

- Don't say we didn't warn you.

- We put the 'ack' in Peter Jackson.

- We put the 'olk' in Tolkien

A few more!
 

THE BARROW DOWNS

- It's for 'charity'! ;)

- You Cannot Pass!

- No Fool of a Took!

- Eroding at your sanity since 1418

A bit of a spinoff:

"Sanity is overrated"

"Who needs those friends anyways."

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!"

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

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."

- "--/--/--------/-----/-------!"

- "We're even killing the chat skerwls!"

- "This forum is off topic."

- "We might be dead, but we live it up!"

- "Assigned to Mordor? No problem!"

- "Sleep is for the living."

The Barrow Downs:

- "So good, we put our name on it!"

- "That small child found it mildly amusing!"

- "Life? Don't talk to us about life!"

- “Planning World Domination since 1981”

The Barrowdowns:

- "This forum is not yet raided."

- "Where its fun to make fiends!"

- "Be your own night wight."

- "++ Personal Relationships"

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!"

And Playing off Saucepan:

- "30% Wighter than the leading brand."

The barrowdowns:
Once you try it, not even Tom Bombadill will get you out of here.

Showing my age ...

Saucie, this may be cruel...but my parents were 9 when that commercial came out. And I'm grown and married now...

:) :cool: :D

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 )

Song slogans & something else
 

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!

The Barrow Downs:

- "Grave is the grave of Grave the Grave."

- "Take Flight if you're not a Wight!"

- "See the wild Mount Zoom in its natural habitat!"

- "Where even Mountains and Cities have wheels."

- "Sorry, Force of Hobbit!"

Force of Hobbit! That's great Hookbill :D
