Suggestions

(1) Cut down on announcement size. It is OTT now - far far too big. Instead of:

Entmoot is a J.R.R. Tolkien discussion board, part of TolkienTrail.com

Please read the Official Rules of Entmoot before posting. I'd like to greet Entmoot's newest members: Isengard, Gold Katana, Eivind U, quester463, and Gilthalion. At this board, please remember that ezCode (very similar to UBB Code) has replaced HTML. To make an advertisement, please use the appropriate thread in General Messages and do not start topics for the purpose of advertising.
Entmoot is now in the ezboard Community Showcase at ezboard.com, making it among the top ten ezboards for July! In addition, we're listed in their Hot Topics literary showcase.

Congratulations to Fat Middle, the new moderator!

The Tolkien Trail is open!!!!! Read about it here!! Read Michael Martinez's review of the site!

why not have:

Entmoot - The Bulletin Board of TolkienTrail.com

Welcome to Entmoot, one of the top ten EzBoards out of every single one, and listed in the literary showcase! Please read the Official Rules of Entmoot and Important Announcements before posting and only use the appropriate thread for advertising.

Congratulations to Fat Middle, the new moderator, and xxxxx, who are Entmoot's newest members.

(2) Make the board more connected to TolkienTrail by making it within a frame of the site, instead of being a standalone page.
