(From the "Fans" thread)
It's interesting how the ILX interface has a space for expression with a button labelled 'Submit' followed by a screen that says 'Success!' As a metaphor for showbiz, that's not very realistic. The page should instead have two buttons, 'Submit' and 'Never!', followed by a screen that rings up 'Success!' or 'Failure!' according to how good your post is, how cute you are, how much money has been invested in you, or just at random.

how about a blank page with a hidden HTML command that can only be found after hours of fruitless searching.
