  No scrolling text!!
Unless you have a real good reason, don't use gimmicks like Java tickers and scrolling text in the status bar at the bottom of user's browser. Gratuitous scrolling text often amounts to little more than showing off, and it can slow down your download time.

Basically, if you use scrolling text anywhere, you will be beaten.
