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.

Re: Holiday Calendar 2010
Tigers, and dragons, and cookies....I'm just catching up. Sorry.

Tigers/Dragons Quidditch entry: great job! I really like the lyrics and the pictures. All the pretty dragons and flying tigers. Makes me want to get back to the pitch.

Thank you for the recipe, baseballblondie. I've been looking for a good sugar cookie recipe, not one off the back of a box of margarine, but, one that has been handed down with love. Thank you for sharing yours with us.

I've just gone through all the entries. We've got such a great variety of creativity this year, and more than a few Snape-centric pieces.

Thank you, everyone who had kind words about our entry, and thank you, MerryMarge - it's wonderful to know that all our work was worthwhile.

Witchie, aren't you going to take a bow and blush a little? Your singing did a lot for our entry, many people commented on it. Congratulations, and congrats too, for winning first place in another contest - one about writing. You're a really talented young lady.

Oh, alright. *takes a bow* Happy now, Bill?

But seeing as you've mentioned it, thank you to everyone who commented and thanks to everyone who put their efforts into making our entry, especially Bill for organizing everything.

baseballblondie, a lovely story and a cookie recipe.

I hope you have better luck with the sugar cookies than I do!

And to all of you who want to try the cookies, feel free. And I hope that you enjoy them.
