The most recent bio for Cass is as an adult, so you'll have to post up a new one if you want her back as a student. Sorry!

Could I throw in a suggestion/question? I've been surfin the site and i've noticed the vast amount of Sub boards we now have. Are they really neccessary? In my experience Rps tend to start in a general area, and then they usually stay or flow around that area.
Although it looks cool to have all these little areas inside of the Hogsmeade board, but I think it just creates excessive navigation. Rather then telling someone "hey, I started our post in Hogsmeade." I know have to tell them the main board and the sub board, which is just extra navigation clicks for said person to reach the post.
Also, the numerous floors of Hogwarts? I can agree that we should seperate certain areas from the main Hogwarts board, like the library, hospital wing, class wing, Gryffindor and Ravenclaw towers. But the seperate floors? I know for me I probably wouldn't pay much attention to it and just pick a floor at random, and knowing my Rp style i'll forget about what I put in my 1st paragraph and wind up putting the thread into the wrong floor, which would cause confusion and etc. etc.
Not trying to be a cog in the gears or anything. Just a few things I noticed and wanted to mention.

I chose to add more subboards because it helps keep things more organized. Also in my experience in other boards it's been nice. However if others agree with changing it back to the way it was I am more than willing to do so. I just thought it might be nice to have it separated and more organized.

I can agree with organization, but also I think we have to think about the volume of activity and when organization is required and when it just makes things a little difficult. We have 8 active profiles, 3 or those are mine, and I can link at least 2 to one other person, meaning we have atleast 5 active people looking to roleplay, although getting them to respond to my owl has proven difficult, Lol.
Also, I think that seeing so many suboards might overwhelm and intimidate new members trying to join.

I suggest that we all give the new layout a trial run. Give it a couple of months so we all have a chance to get used to it, and then we'll have a vote. If the majority of people dislike the sub-boards, we can reduce the number of them or revert back to something more similar to the old layout. That seems the fairest way to do it, in my opinion.

Do I get to keep my old approvals? I had an approval for animagus powers for Cassie.
I'm rewriting my bio a bit for her. So, its taking me some time to get her reapproved.

Yes, you can keep Cass's animagus powers. Old approvals still apply.

Pyro, Dylan, and Cass! I got busy and didn't come on for just a little bit and it looks like you guys had a reunion without me! In all honesty I am so glad to see you guys back and I will get my arse in gear soon... But not today as I am off to the dentist.

Me too! I am thinking of starting up a "Where are they now" thread, would people be interested? Mostly I just want to show off my HP tattoo which is 75% inspired by this place and the people I met through it Also, why don't the boards tell us which ones have new posts anymore? Can we please have that back? They don't have to be the old wands if those don't fit with the vibe of the new layout but just something to indicate a new post would be nice.

Hey guys! Wow, I just came by to check on the site (as I do from time to time) and it is so exciting to see that you guys are trying to kick it back into gear! I would love to come back slowly and try to join some posts. Right now with my job I am super busy, and will most likely only have time on weekends to write on here. Nonetheless, I feel like I grew up here! Can't stray far from home, right?! I think the only Characters I still have registered are Bellatrix, Syd, and Maribeth. Dawn I think I may have deleted

So glad to see everyone again. Have missed you all so much. I know I'll be bringing back Sadie, and have been asked about Taire, so she'll probably be coming back as well... I have more free time on my hands now as both kids are a bit older and the job is a lot slower. So writing will be enjoyable. I've missed it so much that I think Julia got a post for a birthday wish on FB instead of an actual happy birthday.

So glad to see so many people coming back! I'm so excited. So sorry to everyone for being MIA for a bit. I'm hopefully going to have more time now to deal with the site.
Ashley you mentioned the old new and old post images. I was honestly going to change the entire layout of the site and keep that panel off, but as everyone is probably now used to this layout I'll just keep it. I'll have to find the old images and mess with the css coding to put that bar back into place. So it might take me a bit. Maybe I'll change the images so they look better with the background, or use something else. Either way I'll work on that so you can see what's new and what's not.

I am super excited to see people post again! I miss this site even though I sorta kinda left on my own... I will admit, it is a little strange not to see August's name in blue! I would love to bring back some charries. Can someone give me a link to the archives though? I can't seem to find them...

Wow, you guys could use a recruiting agent or one of us could pay for subliminal advertising ;D. This place used to be super active.
