I'm not sure you will see this. Hell I'm not sure if you even look on here anymore but I didn't know where else to actually contact you But I can't believe that they finally got rid of the boards :/ And it completely sucks. Anywho if you see this then I just wanted to say hi!

Woah, for some reason I decided to look through all the bookmarked websites I had today and ran across this. And I'm glad I did. Almost missed this topic as I scrolled but glad that my eyes caught it! Took me a while to figure out my password, but finally I did figure it out haha.
I can't believe the boards are gone either! I really didn't think they'd actually shut it down. So suddenly too, I mean I guess we did get some sort of warning, but I wished they had told us a day before or something they were going to so we'd be prepared. Totally sucks that it's official closed. But I'm glad I ran into this and saw this! How are you? And I hope all is well.

I did try the email you have on here but it kept failing and so that aucked because I didn't think I would get hold of you.
I know! I went on the boards and if just kept taking me somewhere else and I was like "meh this sucks"
But yep I'm good, it's almost Christmas so that is good with me. How are you?

That's weird that it didn't let you email me, maybe it was some sort of issue with my email!
I think it took me to their Facebook page when I keep trying to go there. I simply thought it was just a little mishap, but when I tried again the next day and the same thing happened, I realized they shut it down. :/
I'm good too! Just finished all my finals and now I'm on break and finally get to relax. And it's always a plus that Christmas is around the corner! Holidays are pretty exciting and could get stressful at the same time, but I'm managing.

It just kept failing. So maybe after a while it shuts down or something.
I know I thought the same too. Then it dawned on me that maybe it had finally shut down. It was a sad moment trust me :/
The holidays are stressful but Christmas does make it worth it.

Yeah maybe since I hadn't logged onto this site it didn't work? Who knows..
Over ten years it had been up and running, and now it's gone. At least some people are still able to find each other without the site!
That's very true. Christmas always makes everything better. I keep telling myself that I just have to deal with these crazy shoppers for a couple more weeks. You would think with the holidays coming around that people would be a lot more cheerful, but some are not very happy people!

Or maybe Hotmail are just being pains.
I was on there from 2005 and then off and on again due to the fact that I couldn't always get on but it's sad to see that it's all gone. Maybe it's due to the fact it wasn't doing so well after they brought in the crazy rules.
I know! Some people are just so moody. I had that on the bus today. I was listening to my iPod and someone tapped me on the shoulder telling me to turn my music down. Rude. XD

It could have easily been avoided if they didn't have all those strict rules like censoring words that didn't even need to be censored or locking topics for the smallest reasons. It was understandable for some things, but they were overly strict with most of it which drove people away.
Seriously? Jeeze people must have been cranky today if someone told you to turn your music down. Moody people lol. I got that before once too and my music wasn't even that loud.

I think that's what drove me away. Especially once I started roleplaying Supernatural. Even if it was a Harry Potter site.
I turned the music up louder and smiled at them before turning back in my seat. I wasn't going to turn my music down just because someone couldn't get into the spirit of things today.

I think a lot of people just grew up too. Playing characters still in school wasn't as appealing anymore and the board moderators did not like the fact a lot of peoples' role-plays had nothing to do with Hogwarts and whatnot. They had to realize that people grew up too and wanted more mature role-plays.
That is awesome. The person must have been upset even more haha. Did you see the look on their face when you turned it up? Wish I could know what they were thinking at that moment.

That's true. There is only so long that you can play high school characters without feeling the need to want to quit. That's what always got me. I didn't want to do Hogwarts based rps anymore and that's probably why most of my threads got shut down.
I'm pretty sure it was anger. But who really knows what they were really thinking.

Even when we tried to steer away from Hogwarts, but kept some sort of wizardry in it, they'd still find a way to shut it down claiming that the stuff we were saying weren't allowed there or something. I only put up with it because I liked role playing with some of the people that were still on there.
I'm surprised they didn't tell the bus driver or something. They probably just sat back and was upset until they got off the bus themselves.

That's why I'm glad I joined this site. Because we don't have to do Hogwarts stuff on here and for that I'm actually thankful. Because it means that we can try out different ideas and stuff.
Me too. It's bad enough I have to hide my Starbucks everytime I get on the bus.

It's nice to have the freedom without having to worry if someone is going to lock your thread for something minor like swearing or something. No one to be like "No profanity use please" or getting yelled for putting a dot between he.ll.
Oh yeah I forget that the bus is pretty uptight on food and drinks especially if there's no cap. On the bright side you'll probably never see that person again unless you often run into them hah.

Exactly. I want to know why hell was even considered a swear word. I guess they haven't watched Supernatural. It's nearly always in that show!
That's true. I'm glad I don't have to.
