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.

Matt aka Morgoth

Re: The First Task: The Elder Wand
It's best to write a feedback for yourself as well. Just to be sure.

Re: The First Task: The Elder Wand
Yeah, after reading others' entries, you can spot mistakes and other things in your own entry.
I wrote myself a short one just in case its needed. .

No, the feedback will be revealed after the entire task is over and we know who is who and which entry won.

Does it have to be 10 or can it be less?

I think that is about 5 hours from now, which would make it 6 pm in Chicago, 7 pm in New York and 4 pm in Los Angeles.

Re: The First Task: The Elder Wand
Thanks. I just finished voting (I was wondering if I had enough time to finish reading entries before I left for orchestra practice and I did).

I missed voting in the first round, but many of my favorites were there for the second round anyway. Good luck, everyone!

Re: The First Task: The Elder Wand
I noticed that the entries are categorized as best overall and best story. But what is that based on?

Many of my favourite entries made it to the final round too. . Though, I still haven't checked them all.

First category includes stories and comics, the second includes stories only.

Why is entry 26 in best comics but not best overall?

Re: The First Task: The Elder Wand
We had to draw the line somewhere and only entries with a certain number of votes went through.

Since there are only three comics it's logical that all three of them feature in that category.

I'm glad I checked this thread. I forgot to vote for best overall.

Give our great mods enough time and they can get the process settled and streamlined so that things work smoothly and flow easily from start to finish.

Great Job Mods.
