    That could be trickier at schools with heavy web filtering, any site with a forum was blocked.

    I remember you're one of the few conservative-leaning users on that quiz, and that I know I've seen you around a few times. I do concur that you've got good taste in books.

    I think I'm I'm the minority here with 84% Hufflepuff? I actually got Ravenclaw on the Pottermore test but Hufflepuff was a close second so it's not a huge surprise.

    I'd definitely be interested, I'm not sure when we'd want to do it though, since ~ is acquiring new users so rapidly.

    I rather liked u/tvjf's post here on subgroupings and a ~society group, although I think maybe sexuality and gender could be combined, and branch off into subgroupings.
