An Idea for the release of the PoA movie

[Haggridd]

Hi,
I've heard that people are starting to plan strategy to handle an 
expected large influx of new members after the release of the movie 
PoA.  May I suggest that after a particular date, e.g. June 1, 2004, 
new members be allowed to post only on the movie list until a second 
date, say July 4, 2004, after which they be allowed to post on any of 
the lists?  My thinking is that since June 4, 2004 is a release date 
for a movie, and not for Book VI, any new member will be most likely 
to be primarily interested in the movie, and will bear their 
inability to post on the other lists with relative equanimity.  If it 
is possible to allow these new members to read messages from all the 
lists during this time, all the better. This is a seperate issue from 
whether to moderate, or how long to moderate these new members' posts.

By the time the month has passed, these new members should be well-
assimilated into the HPfGU culture.

No action whatever should be necessary vis-a-vis existing members.  I 
doubt their posting patterns will change much with the release of the 
new movie, and they already know to post on the appropriate list.
