Switch Users Code & Reminder!

Well you can’t say we don’t give you anything here. After much hard work on Nick’s part a new code has been implemented on the board. The Switch Users Code, written by Reid and modified by Nick, has been added to the board to allow you to swap from character to character with relative ease.

With this new code implemented comes a reminder to all members, you are not allowed to post in a RP as the wrong character. Also when forums close to your character, it is not alright to use another account to finish up an RP.

Character Spotlight!

Congratulations to Artemis Blackmoore-Yearling who is this fortnight's spotlighted character. She was highlighted for the spectacular detail of the character's biography and continued devotion to the character's development.

Twitter!

As per suggested here a Twitter field has been added to your profile. So everyone put in your username, be it for an IC or OOC account, if it’s for an IC account remember to help promote HNZ by adding #HNZ after your tweets Kudos to Zach for the suggestion

MESSI Writing Competition!

Yep, you’ve guessed correctly folks, MESSI have been at it again. After taking a well deserved break MESSI are up to their old tricks again and have a brand, spanking new writing competition for you all to have a go at. We are a board of writers after all, aren’t we?

HNZ’s Fifth Birthday!

Is closing! Yep, that’s right folks. We’ve had our fun, we’ve laughed, we’ve cried but the birthday forums will be closing in the next two weeks. So to everyone that hasn’t participated yet; go grab yourself a HNZ email, or sign our community banner. To everyone that has made this birthday memorable, thank you

Also, we currently have two ‘Deal with a Death Eater’ games going on so we can try and get everyone that signed up a chance to play. So with that been said, we are hoping to continue these games so everyone gets their chance to play.

And finally, on the birthday front, a big congratulations to Larissa Sedgwick i.e. Beth, on winning our Birthday Graphics Competition. Once again we had some great entries but Beth’s came up tops. The winning banner can be seen at the top of the screen or click here! Also, congratulations to:

Spoiler: Third Place

Artemis Blackmoore-Yearling - receiving one dementor glomp

Spoiler: Second Place

Eden Koshiba - receiving the birthday icon

Spoiler: First Place

Congrats to all of our winners once again

New colours!

Once again Nick has been far too generous to us and has not only listened to our out cries for more colours to be added to the dropdown list, but has gone and added them too Yep that’s right folks, our dropdown list is now updated with the colours of our group colour such as Durmstrang and Beauxbatons. If you feel there is something else needed, give Nick a shout over PM

Post your desktop!

To all those who say they are bored on the site, shame on you. While we are a RPing site we all like to have our fun and games so why not go participate in our newest one, started by none other than our fearless Nickypoos.

(Click to let the fun begin!)​

Blawg!

I’m sure you’ve all seen our lovely site staff blog or Blawg as it is more commonly known as. Well you’ll be surprised to know that it’s not only Nick that posts to it That’s right guys, we’ve gotten not one but two blog enteries this week from our very own Linda and Abby *cough*Elphaba*cough* So snaps for them Also, expect one from moi sometime after the 19th when my Uni exams are done

Happy Mother’s Day!

Have you wished all of your mum’s a Happy Mother’s Day yet? That is if you live anywhere apart from The UK, Ireland or Nigeria. If you haven’t well go do it, now Then when you’ve done that come wish all the mummy’s on HNZ one as well by going here, because we all know if it wasn’t for them, where would we be? Literally, we wouldn’t be here.

TWT closed

After many months of planning and all the fun that was had with the TwiWizard Tournament once again taking place on HNZ we say goodbye to it once again. The TwiWizard Tournament finally came to a close with HNZ’s: Mike Goulding coming a respectable third, Beauxbatons’: Aubrey Derlinch coming in second, leaving none other than Durmstrang’s: Moko Craven coming in first hence winning The TwiWizard Tournament. Congratulations Moko

Graduation is currently taking place so pop over to the Great Hall to see our 7th Years take their final steps as students of HNZ. Plus much, much more.

Oh, right.
Whoever keeps suggesting plots I am in to be highlighted needs a reality check.

My next available time to do such a test is... oh lookie! A spot opened up recently! Tomorrow at 7AM. Be there, or be a plane rectangle with four equal sides and four right angles.
