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.

Ahh, OK. Sorry, sometimes I need things put down in simple ways. Like when it's quarter past 5 in the afternoon and I've not slept (or I don't think I have) for well over 24 hours.

Re: Ministry of Magic ELECTIONS
I say let's do a coalition. Harry/Ron will combine with Hermione/ Neville. Of course, I've not talked to anyone about this, but hey, I'm game.

I like this!! (Thanks for the vote of confidence, Leah, but we'll go with a simple plurality of the vote for the win per the mods.)

This is certainly staying close, though. Keeping it interesting to say the least! I hope there won't be any pictures on election night. I'll have no hair and my fingernails will be bitten down to my elbows...not a pretty sight.

No one answered my question from before. When does the voting end and when will the winner be announced?

Nov 7. Not sure of the exact time, though. Jessica will have to answer that. This is so nerve wracking! How can I last for more than a week with it so close???????

You can't, so you should just give all your votes to Harry and Ron.

No, no. I like your idea better: Giving all Harry/Ron votes to Hermione/Neville.

I'm not giving you their votes, I'm making them part of the team...3 Ministers and a Deputy.

That office had better be pretty large to hold all those desks. What's the spell that enlarges a room? Like the one on the tents from GoF?

I don't know but I think someone must be using it on the Burrow as we speak. There have been a whole lot of people hanging out over there.

Re: Ministry of Magic ELECTIONS
Once you vote, the results are shown automatically. Since I already have, I am going from memory, but I believe there is a small link somewhere in the lower part of the poll area labelled "view results" that you can click to see.

There usually is a link like that, though I can't remember if this poll was like that. I know you can see the results so far if you aren't logged in...
