About a year ago since I fell in love with this place so I looked up a few other boards to join. With the same intent as here, mostly read and maybe do a post once and again but never being very active. Found a Harry Potter one that looked good (reminded me of this one) so I joined. Showed that the admin is the one giving all new members access and since she visits the boards maybe evey three months at best (which I couldn't know at the time since you couldn't read the threads until you gained access. Should have seen that as a bad sign.) it took months before I could get in. Lorneytunes have waited more than this year to gain access I think. Once in I got sorted and got into my dorm I noticed that it had some nice people so I decided to give it a chance, even if I never got to know them very well. And lately there's been problem again. First one (this is for everyone) got a blank page when going to the site. After about a week you could see the mainpage but don't log in and now after another week (more or less) you can log in and actually create new threads (at least in some parts of the board) but don't read a single post. Which means a lot of people just post their email adress in the topic just so people can keep in touch. So I'm 99,99% sure I've given up on that place now since it clearly show the admin have. Having a busy life is one thing but this is just too much.
So if anyone know of a good HP board I'd love to hear about it. Not like I need somewhere to post but a place to check into every once and again would be nice.
