Looked like fun and I wanted to join in

[pottermomrocks]

I joined this site to meet other Potterheads and stay up to date with HP related news.

[Midnight Marauder]

I'm going through another re-read during quarantine, and I wanted to meet other fans and have some discussions.

[KaliGld]

Because I want to play with my bestest friends in the whole wide world

[Payton Granger]

I joined SnitchSneeker because I have been looking for a Harry Potter website for a while and when I found this I got super excited, and I'm so excited to join RP's and have fun.

[NephilimWitch]

I joined to meet fellow Potterheads, because one can never have enough! and I love to Roleplay and so it seemed like the perfect mix!

[GreyMagic]

I joined because I want to be able to have proper discussions about the Wizarding World with people who love Harry Potter just as much as me. Okay possibly not as much as me!

Not so thrilled about RPG as I’m a complete newbie when it comes to role play outside of doing it on my own. Because I’m cool like that. 😎 Ha...

[Warlock]

I have not been in a forum setting in a very long time. I used to run 3 HP forums, and I kind of miss it, I'll admit.

I think the main reason I joined Snitchseeker, though, is because I have realized I don't have enough Potterheads in my life. I do enjoy discussing the wizarding world a great deal, and finding like minded folks that love the wizarding world as much as I do is something of a godsend these days.

I used to be a big RPer on the WB Harry Potter message boards. We're talking like, early 2000s; I hit my peak my senior year of high school, 2006. I really poured my heart and soul into it, and met many amazing people. My experiences on the WB boards really got me through some tough, dark times in my teenage years.

Those boards inspired my love of writing. So much so that I went on to get a degree in creative writing.

Over time, I slowly lost touch with many of the people I RPed with. Some of us continued playing on our own boards, and some of stayed connected through email. Tried as we might, we were never really able to rekindle the magic we'd all felt on those original boards.

Every 6 months or so, I do a deep Google dive trying to find a board that may fulfill that sense of community. SnitchSeeker came up as a top hit on Google, so I've decided to give it a go! I'm much older now than I was back then, but I've still got a lot of whimsy left in me!

[azkabanshee]

I want to meet others who love the Wizarding World as much as I do!

In general, I've been keeping an eye out for HP forums like this, because I really wanted to re-engage with the fanfiction and roleplay communities for the fandom! The site's different boards all really appeal to me, which is what caught my eye in the first place!

Why did I choose Snitchseeker specifically? To put it simply ... their open support of BLM and the LGBTQ+ community assured me that the site mods were the right kind of people to be running something like this, and I didn't have to worry about getting involved in a nice-seeming community only to find out they all support transphobia or other such nonsense. It seems friendly, and it seems safe, and those are all things I think we could all use a little more of these days!

[astrocat]

I wanted to access the materials.

[amethystrose]

I was really involved in the Harry Potter community when I was younger. I remember playing on the Warner Brothers website, planting/killing mandrakes, and getting sorted into a house (with a sorting hat quiz that literally included the favorite color question).

Eventually, I branched out to generally Harry Potter forums as well as RPGs. Back then, I really enjoyed RPGs that were set during the Marauder's Era. I thought that time period gave the greatest creative freedoms. If I'm being honest, I think I joined SS now because quarantine inspired me to return to something that was comforting/familiar.

I'm looking forward to getting to know everyone, and joining what seems to be a lovely community!

[Lucifera]

I'm here for the future of the world of witchcraft and wizardry, especially witchcraft and witches.

[Ravan]

I joined SS because I used to RP a lot and I missed it. I also really love anything to do with Harry Potter.

[Madame_Tonks]

I used to be a member a long while back, and had fallen out of using it for many years. I love the up-to-date info, fans, and fun photos/stories this site has to offer, and can't wait to get back into it!

[Aims]

I used to spend countless hours reading fanfic on this site back when I was a young teen and the works were incredible

[Beatrice Wolfe]

joined early september 2020 because i wanted to play with other people who love RPG and the harry potter series.

[FrozenFire]

I really enjoy writing Harry Potter fanfiction and I heard that this was a good site for doing that, so here I am!

[alendrew11]

I joined this forum because I was searching the community where I can discuss more about Horry Potter as I Love this......

[Zacharias Oberyn]

i joined because i missed forum experiences. I used to belong to an anime forum, that i later abandoned once i lost interest in the anime. when i tried to return, it was gone. the layout was incredibly similar to this site, now that i think about it.

[latteew]

I joined because I have fallen into the magic again. Took me only 20 years to get this hyped. I have read and listened the books and watched the movies many many times. Now I got myself to register here since I have found many Youtube videos and my Tik Tok is full of HP content.

[blueberrymuffin]

I play DnD, and one of my favorite components is the roleplay, so I wanted to roleplay outside of sessions in the context of one of my favorite series

[The Secret Marauder]

I just joined because I wanted to talk to people who like the same things as I do as my family and friends don't really care about it as much as me!

[PulsingAura]

I have recently started playing Hogwarts: A Mystery (still in first year) which has gotten me back into the Wizarding World. Just looking for a fun forum to connect with fellow Potterheads and have some fun discussions, and this site looks like the perfect place for it.
