Okay, I’ve left this a bit longer than I should have perhaps I don’t even know if I have time to finish because if my boss comes in and catches me updating I will be a very dead person. But we’ll see if I can get at least a start of this going for you all. All else fails I finish tomorrow, that’s still July, damnit.

To start we have the wonderful world of stats, because we all love stats. There are currently 12959 Posts in 1497 Topics by 366 Members. And I think we’ve all considered July a relatively slow month here at Beyond Stone Walls, so I guess its okay that we haven’t had a massively huge upswing in membership. We are happy to see the new people who are here though! Especially, as usual new-new people and not just people making alts. Lots of new Ravenclaws too, which is pretty awesome. Your prefects Calista Brennan and Daggett Prox are happy to have you. Don’t be afraid to reply to their welcome PMs or whatever, neither of these PARTICULAR prefects bite. (Gryffindor is another story all together for example)

Okay, uhm, nextly we had our first birthday, which I guess is worth mentioning again, so pleased that we haven’t gone belly up just yet, and no plans to in the near future. We’re an old forum now! Thanks to everyone who has helped us last this long on the cruel, harsh internet and make sure you keep inviting your friends (and even people who aren’t your friends– we’ll take them too)

The summer plot has been clicking along slowly, it will probably spill into the fall, but I’m sure no one is heart broken about that. There us still time for you to sign up, so don’t delay. We’re taking people new and old, and of absolutely all skill levels so please don’t be nervous about joining in the action. And of course as a note to Death Eaters who haven’t already post in Contrivance and let’s get this show on the road. Stop holding up the bloody plot why don’t you?

Also, BSW merchandise was mentioned this month. We want to know who is interested in what, and if people would actually buy BSW stuff. Also, maybe tell us a few infamous BSW quotes that you think should be included. Also, the book. Now that we are a year old there must be a few threads you people would like to see bound together in print. Show your nerdity! Really.

I have no idea what else to tell you all, we upgraded the forum and Miki got old this month…

I guess the only other thing to say is an activity check is going to be hitting again soon. So use your special characters >>; And your prefects.

See you in August
