To not name a name (but you can probably guess) one forum got so authoritative that it got to the point where the fun was gone. All the fun threads were deleted, and people were getting mod smacked left and right for the slightest bit of disagreement or off-topicness.

It was a site that was fun way back when, but around the time OotP came out, just got too many people for the fun stuff to be allowed, then when activity started to decline, the admin didn't reverse any of their old no-fun rules, so it pretty much died.

I don't like the idea of going from an oldbie on one site, to a newbie on another, so I just use LJ now.
