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.

Re: Catching Fire (Nov 2013)
Yes, Prim's line was devastating, but it definitely sets up Mocking Jay really well. I can't believe we won't have this forum to come back to anymore to discuss the movie when it comes out in Nov. i will really miss visiting this site.

And Prim's line... killed me... absolutely killed me
There was a mention of the quarter quell... but not by name.

And Prim...I'm just going to remain happily in denial for the time being.

Oh and great trailer btw.

Yeah that's what I meant. It was kind of glossed over in this trailer

I don't think the Quell needed to be mentioned by name. For those who haven't read the books, but have seen the first movie, the mention of a "Quarter Quell" would mean nothing, and would need to be explained. (Trailer spoilers, just in case)
Spoiler: show
For book readers, the discussion between Snow and Plutarch Heavensbee hints at the planning of the Quell, and the reasons for it. Now, movie-only fans know that the Capitol are planning something against all the Victors, while book-fans get a glimpse into something Katniss doesn't see. And something to lend credence to Katniss' (and fans') suspicions that the Quell "theme" was deliberately chosen.

I would agree with this. And regarding the content in the spoiler tags... Yes. Precisely.

Yes I agree I just was expecting more of a mention of the next games, and there was only strategy leading up to. Which is you havent read the books is sort of lost I think. But I'm sure we will get more about the upcoming games in the next trailer.

Re: Catching Fire (Nov 2013)
It's only the first trailer. I actually like that they didn't show the QQ yet.
