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.

Ear Gauging
I know there is a topic on piercings, but I want one just to be about ear gauging

I'm hoping going to start stretching my ears soon to a not too big size... maybe about 6g. I just got my wisdom teeth yesterday out so I'm working on healing in that aspect before I try to mod my body.

So I'm at an 18g at the moment. I just wear earrings that I buy at Ardenes or Claires.

I'm just at a loss about what material of taper to buy. I've heard titanium is the best, but plastic is cheaper. They don't recommend plastic, but my ears have been pierced for ten years.

I wanna hear about your gauging experiences!

EDIT: Ahhh!! I accidentally called this gauging, I know it's stretching Forgive me.

Re: Ear Gauging
I think this looks gorgeous on some people.
I'd like to do it myself, but it wouldn't suit me at all.

I know a guy though, who's stretched to 22mm and it's totally ruined getting a job, he's struggling to find work.

I wouldn't mind maybe going to a 6ish. I wouldn't go past 10/12 though because I heard that's irreversible (unless you get surgery) and I don't think it looks as nice.

Yeah, getting them too big doesn't look so great on most people. But, to each his own I suppose.

Re: Ear Gauging
For what it's worth (another point of view), I think it's yuck - big earlobes. But, whatever floats your boat...
I just think it makes people look ... well, geriatric- y'know, the way grandpa has long, saggy ears.

If you want to undo it in the future sometime, can you? Will the holes heal up, or does it depend on how big they are?

Re: Ear Gauging
I personally wouldn't gauge my ears. I don't see the point in it. Its just tacky, IMO, and kind of disturbing. But, to each his own.

Re: Ear Gauging
It's always called Ear Stretching, never Gauging
