Why did you join Snitchseeker?

We all know that a mutual love of Harry Potter brought us here and lots of people seem to explore SnitchSeeker before they ever actually decide to become a member. But now that you're here, what made YOU sign up? Let us know what it was that attracted you to SnitchSeeker and made you want to become a member. Why this site and not another Harry Potter site?

Honestly, when I was young, HP forums were everywhere and I love them. I want that feeling back.

I joined Snitchseeker because I want to share my fan fiction on this site.

[Shesays]

I wanted to participate in a Harry Potter based rpg

[cookiecrumble]

I joined a few minutes ago but it has been years since i've been looking for a site like this - where you get to engage with other Potterheads and just join in on the fun. I hope I can keep up with everyone. I'm quite excited to meet everyone.

I joined up here at SnitchSeeker because I am an OG Harry Potter fan. I read my first HP book in 1997 and became apart of the original wave of Yahoo groups, fan formus, and discussion groups spawned from FanFiction.net reviews and such. I remember the 3-year summer between GoF book and OotP release; Harry Potter was central to my formative years and I'm an adult with a spouse and a kid now.

I miss the feeling of an online HP community. Social media is okay, not the same, though. I miss the forums. Sharing links, discussion boards, and such.

My favorite HP forum was FictionAlley Park/FAP, c. 2000-2020. I was really sad to see that forum go and I am THRILLED to find this active hub of an HP forum.

I looked for some HP forums and here I'm

[renmarie]

I joined because I saw the new game come out and thought it would be fun to join an RPG community that might give something similar.

[Badgefoot]

I joined SnitchSeeker because I've heard stories about how a lot of HP fans found community and had fun by posting on forums and discussing the series while it was still being written, during the earlier days of the Internet. And I'm frustrated I missed out on so much of that side of the fandom. So I decided, no longer! Gonna take my HP nerdism to another level!

[Noah Jupe]

For me, it was something else. I came across your yearbooks as I was making a yearbook for another HP site and was looking for inspiration. I will say, your yearbooks are AMAZING, I wouldn't deny that at all! But that's why I joined snitchseekers

[StonecoldMcNasty]

I joined because I'm enjoying Hogwarts Legacy so much that I get a bit emotional, and I've been dreading finishing the game and not being to immerse myself in the world of Harry Potter anymore. So I started looking around for forum RPGs, like I used to do way back in the day for other IPs, and here I am! I'm very excited!

[FelixFen]

I wanted to talk harry potter but i have no socials, the last place i tried to talk about it i was harrased by multiple people, so i decided to search for places that do accept me and i found this :] !

[slipstick]

I did not join Snitchseeker. Snitchseeker joined me.

[Evanryan]

Why did you join Snitchseeker?

I was searching for a community to join for a ages and found non. I finally found Snitchseeker and decided on the go to join to discuss & get the latest news. I grew up watching Harry potter so its part of my life

I have been a fan of Harry Potter since I was 6 and the first book was released. It has been one of my most cherished stories and worlds to imagine and live in. Though I participated in every JK Rowling official site that she released over the years, I wanted to get involved more with others who love and want to discuss this world and its ideas. I'm surprised I haven't done so until now! I also have an RPG project that I would like to commence once I get everything in order, and this site seems like the perfect place for such a project.

I joined SS because I don't have that many friends in school and none of them are intresterd in Harry Potter as much as I am so I wanted to meet people with the same passion to Harry Potter as me.

Me too, very glad to be back! I was sure I had an account here years ago around but tried all my old usernames and email addresses but no luck Mind you, I was in so many HP forums I could be mistaken.

[FawkesThePhoenixx]

To share about Harry Potter! It's so nice to come back to forums, I miss it and don't get all the social media hype... I used to be a member a long time ago ! (but lost my credentials)

I also recently created an android quiz app with extremely difficult questions about the Harry Potter books, and I was looking for some knowledgeable Potterheads who might want to give it a try! It just didn't felt the same sharing it on social medias, so I decided to come back to the roots!

[slythief2000]

played rp's before, but sadly fell out. would like to rekindle that passion again.

[thestralyew19]

I'm really excited to join the Roleplaying community! I would love to roleplay as an actual student at Hogwarts or a Ministry worker.

[justjing]

I was just interested in diving deeper in the world of Harry Potter and finding people who loved it as much as I did

[Jwillbiteyou]

I really wanted to make more online friends! I thought this would be a good starting point

[SebastianKing]

I joined SS because there aren't many people in my life that want to talk about HP all that much. Plus, I do a lot of world-building inside the Wizarding World framework that I wanted to share!

[pink2278]

I joined Snitch Seeker to make friends.

[Raistlin]

To talk about Harry Potter and meet fellow fans. As the internet turns weird, I missed old style forums, and wanted to make an active attempt to get involved with them again.

[ksue]
