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.

Thanks whoever supplied the link - I've been wishing for something like this for a while!

Re: The International Magical Location Device
It's been so nice outside for the past month, and in the week before my birthday suddenly it's 28 degrees. But I like cold weather, so it's all good.

USA-I live near Hitler City, NC, and if you watch the Simpsons you'll know what city that is. I actually live in SC, but it's only 30 minutes away, and SC's stupid anyways...

Re: The International Magical Location Device

Really wanted to vote India but since I don't live there currently...New Zealand it is! Only 5 from NZ? Where have all the kiwis gone? Good thread by the way, interesting to see where all the fans are from.

Re: The International Magical Location Device
I too am enjoying this little look into how international this site really is. I love when people make up clever locations for their "official" location listing (which is why I actually started a thread about it, the only thread I have EVER started on CoS), so this poll is a better way for me to see where you all are from.

Oh, I voted USA because I live in New Jersey. It would have been funny if Morgoth made New Jersey its own country, since many people in the US seem to think Jerseyans (sp?) are from another country anyways.

Well.. I'm from Italy, and I'm glad there's at least 3 now..

Don't make fun of us.. it's hard for us to read and write in English, so that's an obvious disadvantage for our numbers to swell.

Re: The International Magical Location Device
Just an observation, I think that it is odd that the two largest countries in the world by population, China and India, didn't make the list.

Serously Morgoth, you need to add those two countries. Not because I live there but because loads of people who are active memebers of cos forums are from those two countries.
