Some great ideas, some not so much.

Can't Post

10) We can spam the other sub-forums with male growth enhancement ads. Might excite all the female Tornsibs. We're a majority, you know. 9) We can offer Orlando Bloom Pirates of the Caribbean posters. Nah, Pirates is so over. 8) We can offer posters of Orlando Bloom as Legolas in The Hobbit shield-surfing down Smaug's back. Been there, seen that. 7) We can just offer Orlando Bloom. Now you're talking! 6) We change the name of the "Reading Room" to "Movies - Hobbit". It's been done. 5) We can change the name of the "Reading Room" to "Movies - Silmarillion" and pretend that Christopher Tolkien is keen on the idea, and is partnering with Saul Zaentz. Hmmm, might work, but Voronwë_the_Faithful might explain why that's not possible and spoil it all. 4) We place a huge banner at the top of the page that states "DO NOT POST HERE!" Naturally, people will post. They'll certainly read, at the very least! 3) In any case, we don't mention the word "reading" whatsoever, as that has a pejorative connotation in this modern era of acronymal Internet postings, Twitter and texting. Or even relax our disdain of text-speak spelling! 2) In regards to eschewing the word that we cannot say, we instead infuse the forum with intermittent flashing lights, short random sequences of violence, explodey things, brief flashes of nudity, dangling string and gold fish swimming in a bowl. We may not capture youthful posters, but we just might catch the attention of their cats! I have it on good authority that cats love Tolkien. 1) We can make an app for iPhones. Ding ding ding ding, we have a winnah!

Would it be more effective if it wasn't so structured?
