Mods, weigh in please:

What is the likelyhood that the newly opened Johnny Depp/Keira Knightly movie has something to do with a recent spat of spam-like trollishness?

Do you anticipate an influx a la Harry Potter?

“Chives?”
“Yes, m’lud?”
“Is that Ms Ephemera hovering over the croquet lawn?”
“Indeed m’lud. She’s marshalled all the haggle-dans. Missy-twigs and vale-nymphs from Claypole Woods. Apparently she intends to tear this house down and dance on the ruins.”
“Well, Chives, you’d better start the car, what? And pack my tennis things too”

Doing a google search for "world's end" doesn't even have us on the first two pages, so I doubt the movie has anything to do with the spam. I think it's just because spring is in the air. Or something.

I don't anticipate an influx of HP fanatics this time around because I have a plan!

I just did a google of "At Worlds End message board" and we're the first result on the organic results. Same with "World's End message board" and "At Worlds End discussion board" True, the link is Neilgaimanboard.com , but I'm well aware of the tendency of people to click before they read.

I'm just sayin is all. Do you guys have a plan for an influx of Depp-gushers (moreso than the Hot Guys thread), if such a deluge should occur?

I doubt that people who are smart enough to include "message board" in their search aren't dumb enough to click on a link to neilgaiman.com.

The HP crowd were not including "message board" in their searches. They were just doing "HP Rab" (or whatever it was. I never read the book as the dumb kids gave away the ending). We just happened to be in the first page of results for that.
