Yah. Since this turned into a criticism for the Hogwarts rpg I'm a member of, I decided I didn't want the members to read it. That's why I changed the intro so it didn't welcome people that followed the link from Hogwarts. Let the criticism begin!

Oh - well, change is nice, but I still like these ones. Still, all the colors we've had will blind visitors from Hogwarts - the colors are black and blue, and the words are white, or sometimes red. It's really dark, and then you come here..."Ahh! My eyes!" Still, this site's a whole lot friendlier than Hogwarts - that's why I don't go there much anymore.

Not friendly? Gosh. When I joined C03, I thought, 'Hey, online RP! How cool, so fun...!' Then I went to join a THe Legend of Zelda game. I looked to get a hint of how to join, and the rules. Then I saw one discussion on the board - a moderator and some other members nagging. They players could´nt ask anything or do anything wrong without getting words like 'asshole' and even worse trown in their faces. So I left, and never joined becuse of that ... make me realize some things now. Who cares is the Game mistress? Ofcourse we do, Becka makes a great job here - but no players, no game. You have to make the players feel comfident. Why else is there a reason to join, if not to have fun? That´s one thing that makes Becka such a good Mistress; and player. She´s nice, friendly and ready to welcome n00bs. (Man, I was´nt that clever in the beggining either. The first I did was posting without a stamp.) ^_^;

Ah. If I hadn't gotten an official stern talking-to from Harry at Hogwarts already, I would have done that very thing here as well. But here it would just be like "Um...you still need to get stamped." But at Hogwarts it's like "Such behavior as posting before being sorted into a house is prohibited at this site. If you are caught doing this again, I will be forced to delete your account." You know? It makes you feel like you're a small child getting a scolding. Oh - and then he always signs his posts "Harry Potter, Site Administrator, Order of Merlin, First Class." It's like thanks - as if we didn't already know! Besides the fact that he never acts in character. This one time Harry apparated in the Slytherin common room, and one Slytherin said "hey - you're a Gryffindor so you're not allowed in here." And then Harry went on about how he's recieved a special pass from the Headmaster to go in all the common rooms. That would never happen in the book - it's just him excercising his power and not being able to follow his own rules.

Awww, thanks Whis I've been in plenty of games that are strict and require huge joining bios and many stamps and such and they just never turn out as fun *hugs her C03ers*

Yah. It's really hard to be a member of a site where you hate the administrator too. Oh - Nova Luna used to be there with me and she played Emmy, my twin sister. Someone said they found Em and I "irritating", so that was kind of the beginning of the end. But for fun, I sent her a list of conspiracy theories(which I happen to be very good at making up ), about how the site Admin. was killing th emembers off, one by one.

There is a Dumbledore, but he's more a figurehead than anything else. Harry popped up in the Slytherin common room, and when someone criticised him for breaking his own rule, he went(haughtily, I might add), "Yes - well, the Headmaster gave me special access to all common rooms."
Sure Harry. Like THAT would ever happen in the books. Tell ya what - why don't you just go off to live in your little fantasy world where you're king of the universe, and be happy?

Ya, I guess since there wasn't a position for ultra great supreme ruler of the universe, Harry had to settle for being a board administrator.
