(To the Admins/Mods: I’m not attempting to snag any of your members away with this site; it is not really an advertisement, it is more or less a plea for help and suggestions for a site that could benefit all sites, including yours, if it ever gets off it’s rear and starts running.

Hey everyone.
About two years ago, I was fully dedicated to a Harry Potter website, known as UHPR. It was full of dedicated Harry Potter roleplayers, many of which I became close friends with, and who I still talk to today, despite the fact that UHPR is, sadly, a dead site.
Before it died, however, I made a promise to myself that I would solve the ultimate Harry Potter role playing dilemma; how do you role play Quidditch on a forum? I don't mean who can post the fastest, and trying to get all of the Quidditch players to log on at the exact same time. I mean, how do you get two full teams of players to role play a Quidditch match, and keep it fair, so that you don't have to log on at the same time as everyone else? I also wanted actual roleplaying, with character's doing all kinds of cool tricks... but again, how do you keep it fair?
At the time, I honestly thought I had the answer. It was a bit whacked out, and strangely written... in fact, most of it was done in my head, I haven't even finished writing out all of the rules (notice I said haven't, meaning that I still, presently, have not finished writing them all out.) However, I then thought, hey, wouldn't it be great if this was a mass-site forum game? In order to do that, I'd have to create an entirely new website, as opposed to having the game only on UHPR.
So, I did. And here it is. However, it was very rudely put together... in fact, I gave up on it early and forgot about it. Recently, I found it again, did some editing, and opened it up to the public.
Welcome to the Quidditch World Cup. Please help me bring this to life. I'm looking for suggestions about the site, and possibly some dedicated moderators (and possibly an administrator.) Before any games can begin, I also need to train referees for the game.
