I know. Hufflepuff's just seem to drop off worse than anyone. Oh well. The shining ones always stay on.

No, Raye isn't gone. He just seems to havr gone into hiding or something. Possibly all the hugging. He'll be back soon.
It is sad though. I especially hate that people don't delete their accounts if they leave. It means the members count is inaccurate. And I hate that. I would just like, for once, for people to be more considerate of thr hard work everyone puts in here, and to not just join and then do nothing.
Like I get people who join, and send in their sortings, and at the bottom of the sorting say soemthing like: "Well... Now I'll go look around and see if theirs anything I actualy like on here." And I think: 'You joined, and you didn't even know if you would like it? What kind of an idiot does that?' Not to mention there are actual stages of joining which you have to go through. Some people are so ridiculous. And then there are the sortings. I mean, I sort these people, which take heaps of my time, and then they leave...
Okay, I'm getting into a rant now. Maybe I should stop while I still can.

Nah, ranting is good. It helps get rid of some of the frustration without actually taking it out in violent ways. I do it all the time.

Definately. Besides, for the people that leave, it's their loss - not yours.
Anyway.... Good luck all houses! Let's hope you can all try your best to make your house proud of all of you.

Trivia question is up remember, check it out, good way for gaining points. *grins* You know you want to. Cheer me up and help me get my mind off my aches and pains. Note to self: Don't two-step for that long after not doing it in three months. By the way Elle, you picked that up really well.

Yeah, the two-stepping was great. I'm usually quick at picking up dance stuff. I was a child-dance prodigy (according to my dance teachers) until I took a tumble during a ballet (classical) practice and went to get my feet checked out. And they said that I had a horrible instep in my left foot, and if I kept dancing I would ruin my spine so badly that I wouldn't be able to walk within the next year, as I was doing about five days a week of dancing. Oh well. I turned my attention to new ambitions, than being a world famous dancing (which I had train amazingly hard for from the age of 4 to 9).
Dancing comes naturally to me. That's why I have such an affinity for music. I don't just hear the music, my whole body reacts like you wouldn't believe.
Anyway, yeah. Everyone do the trivia questions. Go for Gold! House Points!

I wish I could dance, lol. I'm just good at picking out the beats of music.
Trivia, whoohoo!

You know, I believe Trivia gets the most hits every week for point-earning sections of this board. I'm so glad Scream thought it up.
We need to get more thing like it. What does everyone think? Any ideas?

Hm... don't know if it would be that interesting, but how about Debates? And I think the Riddles will be a hit just as much as the trivia is.

Yeah, Riddles will be great.
Debate comes later. Its been planned since the beginning, but we need way more people.

Specials Week. Right now Lizzy is running one in the Slytherin Common room but it isn't going too well since not many people are on very much these days, but basically once a week she comes up with some thing that people have to do somewhere on the site during the week. We have had: House pride and bump week, things like that. I think that on the main board it could work quite well and I think Lizzy would be good for running it since she made it up in the first place. And what you do is who ever does the most creative or what ever for the week gets points, and if you message an idea which is later used you get points, kinda like the trivia in that matter.

Sounds interesting. Hm... that would be nice. Special Events like 'Hug A Death Eater Day' and such seemed to get a big response. Maybe Lizzy's idea (brought forth by Scream) would be a way to boost site participation.
