My opinion on sigs: If a sig takes up more space than the post, it's a waste of visual real estate. I don't like having to scroll past half a page of garbage after reading one or two sentences.
Fortunately, many forum software solutions (including vBulletin) allow users to hide other users' sigs. |

I agree it sometimes get annoying (LIke I can talk)
I've grown out of having sigs about two pages long, but I like the one I have now, and don't want to change it! |

Anyway, I'd just like to put in my two cents: Would Ben even consider the possibility of setting up an actor forum? Honestly, I'm reaching the end of my teather regarding mindless comments about certain "hot" actors. It has come to the point now where you can't even avoid reading it if you don't want to, cos it's spread like vermin across most of the forums. Still hasn't impregnated the sil forum yet... hah!
I used to really enjoy scrolling through the new topics, but now, if I see that the last comments are by certain people who shall remain nameless, I simply avoid the thread. 'Tis a sad day indeed, that I have to say that I find the 'moot to be a pretty boring place now. And yes, I know that SGH said that WE make it, but it's a little hard to be enthused, when I can't even be bothered reading certain threads anymore, because of the decline in discussionary value.

im 15 and a girl and i do think orlando is hot
so i guess you could classify me as a 'fangirl' but that isnt the reason why i joined the moot i love tolkien's works and i wanted to discuss them and see people's thoughts and ideas on different things especially since i dont know anyone who loves the books like i do (they only watch the movie) and yes, i was prompted tor read LotR because of the movies release but that doesnt mean im not a true fan of Tolkien and i have never discussed anything about anyone/anything in the movies in any message board, except to say i was mad about the changes in TTT ( especially what they did to poor Faramir) some of the people who have slagged off 'fangirls' are people whose comments i have read and found very interesting, intelligent and admirable (especially since im not Tolkien expert) like lizra and blackboar and sween ( you wouldnt have heard from me because i dont reply to messages very much- i dont know much of what to say and i love reading more) so im sorry if i have degraded the quality of the board, but all i wanted to do was view comments by his fans. |

The boring part (to me) is when "fangirl/boy" types just talk back and forth among each other, about some little "collective" (gooseball ) joke, for a half a page or more. Add in the "too long" signatures and you've got BORING! So this is when I start ignoring whole threads (and names). When I come to Entmoot, and the entire first page is filled with the same three names of "fluffsters", well, it's a bummer. Please, (IMO) if your posts aren't really saying anything but "yeah! hoo hoo, ha ha" don't say it. The occasional joke is do-able, but less is more!

I think Entmoot is bassically an adult bored and we like to carry out convos on an adult level not a childs level if you know what i mean. Can we have an over 18s section? Or possibly a kiddies play and orlando worship area? Im like BoP if i see some mooters names next to a tread i wont bother reading but then that works in the same way some peoples posts i will allways read. Basically some of you suck and some of ya are great you a bit like scunthorpe united football matches

Maybe Sween means mature? I've read mature, intelligent posts by 14 year olds, and ding dong posts by 25 year olds. It's what you have to contribute that counts. If it's just "Orlando is hotter than Elija!!!!!!!!", or "You do that? I do that too, isn't it cool , we both do that!!!!!!" ....well who needs it!

I personally think age has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with anything. I am only a teenager yet i feel that i can take part in intellectual and intelligent discussions without saying anything to do with orlando bloom etc.
