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: Do you like your name?
My name is Monica...I hate it,it's so serious for my ages,when someone calls me by name,I feel like I'm 100 years old...so I rather like to be called Nicky.It's sweeter and not so serious as Monica is.

Re: Do you like your name?
I'm not too fond of my name, I know loadsothers that I'd rather be called. I mean, Ashley is so ...

I wish I had a really unique name that is sort of rare.

Some of my friends call me Ash which is better then having you called by your full name.

Re: Do you like your name?
I hate my name, and I have hated it since I knew how to say it. Dominique, it is a little to intense for a person like me. Everybody calls me Nicky now because my nanny can't say Dominique.

Re: Do you like your name?
My name is Valerija. I like it because it's fairly uncommon (at least as far as I know) and it's Latin for 'strong'.

But it can get annoying when people pronounce the J as in June and not like a Y as in Yes. Perhaps one day I'll get rid of the J.



My friends and teachers just call me Valerie and that suits me just fine.

Re: Do you like your name?
I quite like my name...it's not a great, super original name but it's ok. My name's Milagros, which is Spanish for the word 'Miracles'. It's not that common here, I've only met about 4.
Nobody calls me Milagros, anyway (except my teachers), too long, they all call me Mili or Milu.

Re: Do you like your name?
My name is Rosa, it just sounds to old, i don't like it. People who first meet me call me Rosa, friends call me Rose, family calls me Rosi. I have a cousin who calls me Roach from when she could speak, she's 27 now but it stuck.

I have also been called Beautiful Individual That Can Handle ...ANYTHING! Family pet name for me,lol.

None of my kids have rosa in their name, except the third but it's her middle name is Rose.

Hehe, my name is Rachel too...just thought it was interesting as our log in names are also similar...Crookshanks.
Rachel is a nice name....and i prefer that spelling to "Rachael" which looks weird....i usually shorten it to Rach (used to be Ray...but i didn't like that so much!).

Re: Do you like your name?
My name is Taya, and I love my name...for the most part. I enjoy having a name that not many other people have, but there's the minor drawback of nobody being able to pronounce it. It's pronouced tay-uh, so it shouldn't be that hard, but...

Re: Do you like your name?
Some of you guys are so lucky to have such original names.
I was once in a class with three other Hollys. One was spelt 'Hollie', though. But it was still a pain. Apparently my name wasn't too popular when I was born, but now I see Hollys everywhere, and it's annoying. :/ I stick to my internet name, which is Rei. ^__^
