It's time to reveal the truth about this site.

The Barrow-downs discussion forum is really a front for a nuclear physicists' gambling ring:

"Much odd, sour, or raw fission won bets".

What do they wager? The site advertises Members list, or:

"bet elms' rims"

(or is that a demented Gollum saying "Mm, blisterses"?)

When the nuclear physicists are criticized for the gambling, they blame another department, saying "Active Topics" or:

"vice at optics!"

There are those that have tried to stop the depravity, but they are Novices and Newcomers who don't know that:

"No downer can mess vice".

And one of the most infamous threads offers a piece of sordid advice: Canonicity: the book or the reader? or:

"the contradictory bookie - he earn!"

And, like other gambling havens, the Downs draws a healthy crowd with the lure of gambling: Translations from the Elvish or

"Reservations - half month list".
