Wikipedia tends to have a lot more information I care about when it comes to fiction than the internet movie database. I really couldn't care less about the cast. Humans are TOOLS when it comes to my entertainment, to be locked away and forgotten between uses.
At any rate, you COULD just be polite and answer a question :D.
Oh yes, the newest versions of the forum software I've seen incorporate a nice way to handle embedded flash. It doesn't run, or even download, until you click a little link that makes it pop down. This doesn't reload the page, it alters it in real time without needing to do that. In fact, that's the way it handles making a new post too (updating it in real time instead of reloading it). Further, the spoiler tags function using a button to cause it to emerge instead of highlighting text (which is just a tad awkward, though not by that much). Really, I've been pretty impressed by the newer versions. That's why I'd be willing to pitch in to upgrade.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
