Speaking out of own experience:
Barrow-Downs: Once hooked, the Wight will reel you back in sooner or later! Barrow-Downs: Til death do us part...again... or maybe more true: 'Cuz death do us not part

The Barrow-Downs: Do the Wight thing.
Feeling grey? We'll help make things all-Wight. The Barrow-Downs: Our forum, Wight or wrong. Alll-lll Wighty then! Boxers, briefs or tighty-Wighties? Directions to the Barrow-Downs? It's just to the Wight, there. Two wrongs don't make a Wight.

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. |

To make sure this advertsing campaign is successful we need to target segments of the market,
For depressives: Feeling down  BARROW DOWN  For teenage boys: Go to the Barrowdowns, Willing Girls Guaranteed - Not a Guarantee For the easily intimidated customer: Go to the Barrowdowns or we'll come and get you

Attention Barrow-Wight/Underhill -- what would it take to display one of these here on the forum pages, right under the BD icon in the upper left, with a new one popping up each time a new page is displayed, in similar fashion to the LOTR/Hobbit quotes in the upper-right? Is that do-able?
