Just wondering?

So, does anyone know if the the Restricted Section is down for good? I know Bunney posted a couple days ago that is was down but I was really hoping that it was just a glitch or something. I've been checking a couple times a day to see and it never loads. It constantly says Problem Loading Page. I didn't visit there often, but there were some good fics that I will miss if it really is gone forever. :(

I hope not. I didn't go there often, but I'd be very sorry to see it disappear. Especially since OWL seems to be dead as well. It's like the fandom is getting smaller, and fics, archives and authors are just disappearing.

I know dreamy, I find it very sad and scary. I came to the fandom late. I didn't even discover fanfic before DH was published so to see some of these older 'classic' stories and archives just disappear, gone forever, is devastating.

It is. Like you, I came to fandom late (a few months before DH was published) and have missed the "classic" era and the apparently heated discussions surrounding some topics and stories.

To me it often feels like I'm only hovering on the brink of fandom and, because I'm shy and reserved, find it difficult to make friends, get more involved etc, though I'd love to. And now it seems that fandom is diminishing instead.
