Good Day Everyone,

I'm sorry to say that CoS Forums is going to shut down in the Summer, sometime around July. This isn't an early April Fools joke either.

The Forums have become quite expensive to run and manage. There's a lot (LOT) less traffic coming to the site these days as Harry Potter becomes less of a topical debate for people.

I held on for a while after the last film, wondering whether JK would announce anything surprising, but I find that even if she did it wouldn't serve to help the diminishing numbers on the site or my bank balance!

Myself, I've been absent a lot more in the past year as personal issues have taken over and I've had to work longer hours, to earn more money to keep the forums going as well as pay for things like rent, utilities and god knows what else.

Some of you will be sad and I'm sure others will be happy. I'm not doing this lightly and I could have closed the site last year but held off. I know this may upset some of you who've come to see this place as a haven with friends and I'm very sorry it has to go but I've kept this place going with money out of my own pocket for 10 years now and it's no longer financially viable to do so. Please understand that this is not an easy decision!

Some of you may wish to offer to help, to donate or even take on the site. Whilst I would listen to any suggestions, I will not accept donations as this would be unsustainable in the long-term. If you wanted to take on CoS, be aware that you would need to find $200 per month and to be honest with you all I'm not sure I'm prepared to let the site be taken over by anyone. I've created a thread for comments. The other staff know only as much as the above. There is no Plan B as far as they are concerned, so do not pester them for answers to questions. If they do not know, they are being totally honest.

Comment here

Many thanks to everyone who for the last 10+ years have worked in one way or another on the site. All the staff, past and present who gave their time and energy to making the community work. Every single person gave their time for free and were never paid for their efforts. It was a labor of love for all.
Many thanks to the members, those who came & went and dared to stay. Every single one of you who contributed to the site, to the discussions and events. You were the ones who made the site what it became, from the all the book releases to the heated, sometimes famous debates about all sorts of topics. You made CoS what it was. So thank you.

Merlin (Lucky, there's youtube. Sci-fi is just really lame. And yes, I REFUSE to call it Syfy. Seriously, who ever thought of changing the original name is a [insert colors here]
And of course, reading. There are so many good books you can curl up with.

Ah, the simple things in life...

The TV show Grimm and drafting floorplans of Hogwarts Castle based on in-canon statements of where everything is.

Also contemplating the necessary work involved in (and probability I would be institutionalized for) writing some pieces of Hogwarts: A History to accompany the floorplans. Like, addressing the evolution of Hogwarts castle from small 13th century fortification to the somewhat sprawling castle it is now with "original" 13th century plans, some intervening plans as the castle was remodeled and ending with the HP series' "current" castle.

I am slightly insane, yes, but my minor in college was Architectural History so IT'S SO MUCH FUN!!!

Slipknot. I'd listened to them before, but after I saw them live about a month ago, I'm obsessed now.

Re: Your latest obsession?
I'm shocked to be saying this because I had a really hard time getting into the books but the TV show of Game of Thrones is so good!! It has actually convinced me to give the books yet a third try after two previous fails to capture my imagination... and attention. I just finished season two and loved it!

I've only seen season 1, but have read all the books. The show takes the best elements of the books and condenses it down to a really tight story. I really appreciate how HBO has handled it.
