Found a new use for this in combination with CMPS. I suppose the same could be done with the custom_ template prefix as well.
I have a couple of forums where people should "only create a new thread if...". I created a small separate page that the new thread button links to with a disclaimer stating clearly the requirements for posting a new thread in that forum and then just manually added the HTML for the new thread button and link. This has stopped mis-posts almost completely.
I do the same thing with my support forums as I was getting a lot of support threads asking about crap not related to my site. So they hit the new thread button and are directed to a disclaimer about what we support before being able to submit the new thread.
