It was about 30-45 min after the first clue was put up that I registered, if I remember correctly. I'd been staying up waiting but got distracted and then noticed it was past the time and flew off in a panic to answer the question. :lol: It did take a long time for my email to get to me (didn't receive it until the following morning).

I wonder if they're using some other criteria to determine the order they let folks in? Location, age, "people who have read all the books but not seen the movies," or some other thing. Hmph.

edit: I should add - I have 4 other friends who live in the same town as me, but who registered immediately on day 1, and none of us have received the welcome email.
