I should currently be cleaning the flat, so that means, obviously that I am writing the update for September instead. The mess that is engulfing our kitchen can wait though, because if I don’t write this now I will never remember to write it later, and if I miss a month the sky will fall out or something. So, on to what happened this September. (I swear to god writing this preamble is hell).

So, on to stats for this month we end off September with 15340 Posts in 1729 Topics by 403 Members so we picked up about ten new accounts since September which really shocks and amazes me since I didn’t expect too much progress to be made this month. We even had a few new-new people including Nick Fergus who made his way into chat. Just to keep this really clear and on the table: We Love New People In Chat. So don’t be nervous, we can be a bit insane but it’s all in good fun.

Let’s see, we’ve spent a lot of this month trying to balance out QUIDDITCH, which we would really like to see people start coming out for even more. Even if this is your first hour on the forum the Quidditch teams are ready to snap you up. I wish I could say I was kidding. However, currently there is a gigantic Quidditch void in RAVENCLAW, and so temporarily JL and I will be running this team. However no one (leastwise us) wants this to be a permanent appointment so please, if you have a Ravenclaw, apply to join. We would prefer someone who doesn’t have a lot of special positions at the moment. However even if you have every special position on the board we do want you to join the team.

The Daily Prophet is currently on hold until Miki has more time, and I think that’s all there is to be said about that. Hold your articles, but PM Kitty if you would like to join the Daily Prophet team. It’s a bit of a free for all, but pretty funny all the same.

Also, to get buzzword-centric BSW is going viral, join our various groups on DeviantArt, Twitter, Facebook, and Leaky with more to come. Make sure you stalk us in every way possible so the word gets out. Submit Art to our DevArt, the usual! Also keep VOTING for us at topsites every single day!

Next order of business is the prefects, which have finally been settled they are working on a massive event for you guys I’ll let them tell you about it but make sure you participate — these events are planned for YOU after all. Also, Sunni was promoted to profile moderator. So, make sure you are directing all of your questions comments and inquiries to the appropriate person. (Here’s a hint– usually the right person is not Admin).

The new version of the forum was on the doorsteps, but Miki, Becca and I did some brain storming and have a new idea that should spike the activity of adult characters. But this takes laying a huge amount of foundational work that we never thought of before so the forum will be delayed while we build it around these new ideas. Just to let you know it is still on the books. But Admin has been busy with life, which is a pain. Just to let you all know though that some back stage stuff is being worked on.

Finally, we are thinking of adding some new boards where adult characters can hang out. But, we want to know some places you would like to see showing up. St. Mungo’s is a definite. Additionally some revisions may be made to the Adult characters policy, so heads up on that one.

Righto, that’s about it! See you in October.
