Silence...

Well it's very quiet around these parts. I found this website, shortly around the time that the Half Blood prince came out, I left right before school started and now I'm back, but it seems that things have died down quite a lot. Some posts within topics date back to October or even september and yet their still near the top.

Are you sure they aren't just the sticky/announcement topics...they are pinned to the top and can never drop down even if noone replies....

In the Great Hall there are quite a few of those...

Perhaps your right, but it still feels like it's quite quiet around here.

It was actually quite a big fuzz when I joined (just about when HBP came out) Things have definitlly slowed down ever since. But it's never been quiet. There were always people posting. Even if just a few. :)

there are also people (like me) who prefer to read and find it kind of stupid to post something that is already posted x times before or posting something like 'i agree :D ' or 'i agree with ...'

that's why i'm mostly active in the common room and diagon alley

Yeah, and I actually like quite forums. You pretty much know everybody, so it's not like every day you have to see people you've never "met".

I agree :grin:

I also belong to people who prefer reading to posting. I'm here almost every day, yet I don't post that often.

I think it was quite predictable that after the release of the new book the boards would be more active and then become quieter again. It's always been like that.

I really like being part of this forum - it makes me feel wanted! Everyone is really welcoming I think. And yeah, there's no point posting if there's not a new theory to discuss. I do get a bit frustrated when we go over old ground a bit of if something has been said over and over, but then its' fantastic to see the new theories people come up with you never even thought about

Hehehe, I never actually read any of the theories, books or movie threads usually...just stick to my common room and the great hall mostly unless something really catches my eye as I search for new posts since last visit instead of visiting each forum to see if there are new posts.

That is true for me too. I visit the Theories section from time to time, but I am a rare guest at the Movie section or Zonko's.

Er... sorry for the spoiler above. I have a little trouble noticing things like that. I'll be more careful next time.
