We are a growing community, and you can help spread the word by advertising our site across the Internet. Here are a few things you can do to promote the site: - Tell your friends and family: Anyone you know in real life who enjoys Harry Potter, tell them about the forums. Many HP fans enjoy discussing the series and talking with others who are big fans like yourself.
- Spread the word on social networking sites: Tweet about us, include the URL, then say something positive about us. Any positive discussion about the website makes a great impact
- Blog about us: Blogs are very popular and a great way to express your thoughts and feelings about a particular subject, product, and experience. Tell them all about us and why you personally like the site.
- Are you active on other forums? Make a promotion thread about us and have our URL in your signature. Just make sure you follow their community rules, that way we aren't given a negative image.
You can use this banner created by Yasmine on other forums:  Code: [url=http://hpforums.org][img]http://i45.tinypic.com/m8dvsk.png[/img][/url] Clicking the banner directs you to HPForums. We appreciate all the help you guys have given us sense we opened, and anymore is continually appreciated. This is by no means required, its just another way we feel you can help if you want. If you have any questions or suggestions, feel free to post them here for feedback. _________________ irc.iPocalypse.net - Screw the rest, iPoc is the best.

I've been trying to get my best friend to join for FOREVER, but he won't cuz he thinks we just sit around and talk about HP all day. I tried to explain more, but no success. Maybe I'll get my other best friend to join....but she's never home so that wouldn't work out. Maybe my mom?Embarassing, but I'll ask, I suppose. I won't tell her my username, ha!I'll spread it around online, too.

Hopefully, anyway, lol.

We can manually activate the account to speed the situation out. If they are willing to come back if we do this, let us know.

Have her check her Email for the activation email. If it is not in her inbox, check the junk/spam folders. Both Comcast and AOL emails block the email entirely. So if you cant find it, PM me the username and I'll activate it myself.
