Lessons: Break Week
This week is a good week to catch up on lessons (I would need three of these so I likely can't!) if you haven't completed your lessons. Now is the time for you to get caught up on grading Professors. All lessons should be posted right now. During this week, it is recommended that the NEWTs and OWLs are posted during this time as well. So, let's see who will take home the house cup!
Accio: Closed
All topics in Accio! will be closing on Wednesday to allow those with pages to get to work. This is the latest that they have stayed open. So, if you have any pictures to post, I would recommending doing those ASAP.
Graduation Pending: PMs
If you have a seventh year, check your PM box. All seventh years have received their PMs to invite guests to the Graduation. Get back to your HoH immediately!
Brightstone: Closed
All RPs in brightstone for the break are closed for the time being. It will open back up after the exams, with the holidays! So, do not fret if you did not get to finish. You will be able to finish them really soon!
Spotlight: October
We came forth and honored a new person for the spotlight. Come here to read all about Rowan's character, Lizzie Taylor, and the questionnaire! So, once more Rowan, congratulations to you on such an amazing character! My only regret is not having the chance to RP with her!
Multilogin Update
Nick has come forth once more with an interesting update thanks to a suggestion. Now, you can favorite some of your top characters! There is a cool little heart beside the name. It is very useful! I cannot wait to begin to use it. I'm just a little bit behind on stuff to get on top of it! You can read about it here.
Quidditch Poll
There is a poll going on about Quidditch, and the site is asking you on your opinion on it! If you don't mind, come on down here to cast your vote on what you think! Give it some serious thought because this will have an impact on the site.
Change of Orchids
As you may have noticed, we have had a few staff changes. While the number remains the same, Emzies asked for a break because of real life. Don't we just hate it when that happens? I know I do. We all wish her well during the break, and just a little before then, we welcomed back Kait to the group of orchids! Welcome back, Kait!
Scheduled Down Time
Courtesy of Cyndi: "Nick will be switching hosts, which means that HNZ will be switching hosts. It's never a good time to do this on HNZ because of how our calendar runs, but it will be done between semesters beginning on or around October 15.
What does this mean for you?
If you have a professor, please check the common room for details about how this will impact you.
For everyone, on October 15th or thereabouts, the site will go down to allow Nick to do what he needs to do in switching our hosting. The shutdown could take anywhere from 24-48 hours.
An announcement and updates will be posted by Nick to remind us of this prior to beginning."
This may also impact sorting by a day or two.
Apps: Closing
As per tradition, apps will be closing before sorting opens. As you may know, sorting brings about plenty of madness, and with apps closed, this will give the chance for the admins to concentrate on the new year, and give your apps the proper attention and replies that they need. This is for the benefit of the site as a whole. So, thank you for your patience.
