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.

Oh, I just thought of something! The aroma that comes out of the Abrecrombe and Finch store at the mall. Oh my gosh, it smells so good!

I dunno why, but I relly love tea, and I drink it often. I guess it's part because I want to sit at the adult table when it's cofee time at the weekly family lunches! The other part - except the fact that it tastes like heaven - is the smell. Lovely! Oh, and I'm under-age, so I can't drink alcohol (which I won't do when I'm old enough either, if it tastes like it smells! *shudders*), so I need something good to drink when the adults drink bear and wine and stuff and the kids drink soda. Water is boring, and I absolutely hate soda. Plus, tea smells better than any of them. My favourite tea, both because of smell and because of taste, is Mango/Peach.
Wish I could live in Britain, or some other tea/book country. We have little of both here, and they are expensieve too.

Re: Your favorite smells, scents, and aromas!
Mmmm...

the smell of peaches, because my mom used to wear that scented lotion when i was a kid (even though I'm allergic to the food itself)

vanilla scented plastic (toys from my grandma's house)

and my ABSOLUTE FAVORITE SCENT IN THE WHOLE WORLD would have to be: leather and sand mixed together. like in a softball glove. (probably has something to do with the fact that softball fields are quite literally where I grew up)

Wow, you've got quite a list!

Peaches smell heavenly, but whatever you do DON'T RUB ONE ON YOUR CHEEK -- you'll be sorry

Well...not really. It's sort of just a body spray in a can just to make it sound more macho ...

Guess you could call it 'guy' perfume

I love the smell of playdough. I also love the smell of sharpies. Too bad if you breathe in the smell of sharpies too much, they kill brain cells. No wonder why I'm crazy.

Bacon
Fresh Paint
Rain
Baby lotion
Hand wipes
Old Spice (I know, it's weird, but it just smells so good...)
...And a lot of other stuff that refuses to be remembered!

I love the smell in the air after it's rained. I also love the smell of books (not all, but some smell.... well... they have this special smell...), coffee... fresh cookies, and vanilla bean air freshener.
