Sonya,

For the first time in my whole life I won't be rude to you coz really I'm so sorry for you. Whether people on this forum believe it or not, we actually HAD Danny posting on our community. He's not a fake guy who came and said, hey, this is Daniel Radcliffe!! But someone we know for ages and who's also in the showbiz (AND WHOSE NAME I'M NOT GOING TO SAY IN HERE BUT YOU ALL FORMER MEMBERS OF THE COMM KNOW) he asked if he could have SOMEONE joining last year. We said OK and eventually we realized it was him. He's a very nice and polite kid.

WE ARE NOT DANIEL RADCLIFFE OR HARRY POTTER FANS we're just a bunch of people trying to make friends and from the name of the community you can see there's nothing harry Potter related in there. He tried to make friends and he didn't post often either but he did.

All of a sudden things started happening in the inside of the community, some people unjoined because of a misunderstanding and after they unjoined, strange things started happening to the members who stayed there, like people trying to hack their e-mail accounts and stuff. Eventually, Danny's e-mail got out, the one he had posted in the community, and he started getting hundreds of fan mail messages a day. And finally, the name of the comm got out, too and people started joining and took over the place. From a support group it turned into a Harry Potter fan site and we definitely HATED that. We're mainly teens and adults, Danny was the youngest member (is, actually... we had a new community now) and he got scared because of all that.

Taylor the manager (HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO HIM, TODAY'S HIS BIRTHDAY BY THE WAY!!!) said OK, we were going to have those new people on the community and anyway. But then SOMEONE here typed a very strange letter telling Danny something really really stupid, about her committing suicide if he didn't answer back to her or something like that. That was what made the managers of the community very, very angry. For Christ's sake, people, HE'S 12 YEARS OLD. Don't you think he already has enough on his shoulders? He has to learn AND work and deal with some personal problems like everybody else, and we are supposed to SUPORT HIM instead of giving him some more trouble.

Maybe it was a joke for you... but he's 12 and extremely sensitive. It was obvious he could have taken it seriously and it was something very rude from you to do. Someone also sent him a virus and his laptop got ruined. That's why people got banned from the community, all of the newbies, we were sorry everybody had to pay for YOUR mistake but the managers thought any of you could have done something like that in the future. We are only trying to protect him, and if you really care about him, you need to understand this as it is.

You had your chance. You know Danny didn't want you out, he wanted to keep the community and he was turned into a manager by Taylor, YOU KNOW THAT. Too bad you ruined your chance of being his friend like you said, you could have been nice but it was your choice to be otherwise.

This is all we've got to say. There aren't going to be ANY new members but the 15 who remained. So don't bother yourself in sending request for they're going to be denied.
