09/12/2014: My previous attempt at renaming the directory to foil the spambots did not work. I'm trying now to change the login information for the SQL database. There may be a little bit of downtime but it shouldn't take long.
09/11/2014: I've been having problems with spambots preventing legit users from being able to sign up correctly. I've tried changing the directory from bbs to forums. Hopefully that will stop them and I can remove the retrictions stopping real users from signing up. Sorry if some of your bookmarks have become broken. They can be fixed by replacing bbs with forums in the properties.

Harry Potter is crap. It's about as well written as Nancy Drew. JK Rawlings is a money-grubbing, fake backround story telling hack. I hate Harry freakin' Potter so much that I'm giving away the ending to the new book right here- ok, no I'm not. Not even I'm that mean. <p></p><i></i>
I enjoy Harry Potter a lot. The series is well written, pretty well researched (esp. with regard to mythology/fantasy and even latin terminology), and has a very appealing and engrossing plot. I haven't been disappointed by the first four books, and I don't believe I'll be disappointed with the new one. <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :) --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/images/emoticons/smile.gif ALT=":)"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <br><br>ZL<br><br>J.K.

To go from nothing to $300,000,000 is truly incredible and nothing to be ashamed of at all. Who can blame her if she allowed the story to be marketed so widely? She went from obscurity and poverty to wealth and security, and made millions of readers happy in the process.

*shrugs* I guess it just depends on what you like.

in Time magazine, there was an article about a girl who was dying from cancer and was a Harry Potter fan, and J.K. Rawling called her up and told her the storyline of the order of the pheonix before she even finished the final copy. And i also got into harry potter before is was a big craze. my favorite character is Jeeves the ghost! <p><!--EZCODE CENTER START--><div style="text-align:center">im playing nagi </div><!--EZCODE CENTER END--><br><!--EZCODE CENTER START--><div style="text-align:center"><!--EZCODE IMAGE START--><img src="http://www-personal.umich.edu/~tarinkim/nagi/nagi7s.jpg" style="border:0;"/><!--EZCODE IMAGE END--></div><!--EZCODE CENTER END--><!--EZCODE CENTER START--><div style="text-align:center">in Tenchi Muyo Suvivor 4!!!</div><!--EZCODE CENTER END--><br><!--EZCODE CENTER START--><div style="text-align:center"><!--EZCODE LINK START--><a href="http://pub31.ezboard.com/bthecityofcrazypeople"><br><!--EZCODE IMAGE START--><img src="http://publish.hometown.aol.com/crazynahas/myhomepage/city%20of%20crazy%20people.gif" style="border:0;"/><!--EZCODE IMAGE END--></a><!--EZCODE LINK END--></div><!--EZCODE CENTER END--><br><!--EZCODE CENTER START--><div style="text-align:center"><!--EZCODE LINK START--><a href="http://pub19.ezboard.com/ftenchimuyo79943frm136.showMessage?topicID=3.topic"><!--EZCODE IMAGE START--><img src="http://ezb.flamingtext.com/ezb/2002/12/06/flamingtext_com_1039220398_31717.gif" style="border:0;"alt="Image by FlamingText.com"/><!--EZCODE IMAGE END--></a><!--EZCODE LINK END--><br>Read <!--EZCODE LINK START--><a href="http://pub19.ezboard.com/ftenchimuyo79943frm136.showMessage?topicID=3.topic">PyromaniaC</a><!--EZCODE LINK END--></div><!--EZCODE CENTER END--><br><!--EZCODE CENTER START--><div style="text-align:center"><!--EZCODE LINK START--><a href="http://pub10.ezboard.com/bpeepinclub">go to Chibi Yosho's Peepin' Club!</a><!--EZCODE LINK END--></div><!--EZCODE CENTER END--><br><!--EZCODE CENTER START--><div style="text-align:center"><!--EZCODE BOLD START--><strong> ISC's Quote Of the Month!!!</strong><!--EZCODE BOLD END--></div><!--EZCODE CENTER END--><br><!--EZCODE CENTER START--><div style="text-align:center">Spoot.

How the hell do you "research" mythology? By playing a lot of D&D? All I'm saying is that Harry Potter is just the modern day version of say: Frank L. Baum's Oz books, maybe. They're nothing for people to get so worked up about. It's amazing to me that adults read this instead of some of the really good books that are out there.<br><br>I still stand by the fact that JK Rawlings intentionally let her hard luck story get blown up by the media. It was a good way to stir up press when the HP phenom. was starting up. She's about as big a literary talent as the guy who does Goosebumps. <p></p><i></i>
