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.

I don't mind handing you a bathrobe, but what happened to "Accio, bathrobe?"

I didn't have a pocket to put it in! Ah, here it is, in the pocket of the robe!

You first years over there! Show's over!

Well, that sure emptied the room quickly!

Re: The Never Ending Party 2.0
the weather is cooler in Phoenix, for now. Party because baseball is almost over, football and hockey are going strong.

We can party because it's the playoffs.

Hey there! Didn't see this right away because I'm not the best at making the rounds on places I've posted to.

Mardi Gras...even Deatheaters would enjoy it!!!

We think about Mardi Gras down here all the time, but you're right. Halloween first. That's a big deal too. Especially down on Frenchman Street...always the most fabulous costumes in the clubs and on the street.

Never saw a actual Mardi Gras. I hear they can be really wild.

Oh yes... But there are actually "family friendly" areas along the parade routes, for those who, unlike me, don't care to see the debauchery. And people usually behave fairly well if there are kids around. During the times I'm in an area with kids, I end up giving all the beads I catch to them, and to out-of-towners...unless it's something really primo. My favorite parade is Muses, which has an all female Krewe on the floats. People really vie to get a Muses decorated shoe.

If Snape were real, I'd LOVE to drag him to Mardi Gras, treat him to spicy meat pies and bloody marys, and rat the streets of the French Quarter on Mardi Gras Day with him, where all the really weird stuff happens. That man is just a little too buttoned up!...Needs to have a little fun.

Re: The Never Ending Party 2.0
I would probably have great regrets and mortification if I attended Mardi Gras.

Re: The Never Ending Party 2.0
Yep, I think about Mardi Gras all year round! It can get pretty wild (depends on where you are I guess), but if you just like to have a good time, meet new people, and have some of the most excellent food you'll ever taste--its perfect. I've ridden in a couple parades and it was some of the best fun of my life!

Re: The Never Ending Party 2.0
well, I guess if the World Series ends soon, there will be a party. I am hoping the Cardinals win, simply because, they are the Cardinals and they have Albert Pujols.
