June 1st - June 19th
It's almost summer! The last few weeks of school have come, and students will need to study hard for their final exams! Don't let up yet, or your grades won't be what you want them to. Of course, the weather is almost perfect and pristine, in attempts to lure students away from their studies.

Okay guys, we've finally decided how everything is going to go down. We are going to finish out the school year here at ezboard, and RP June/attack on Hogsmeade starting ASAP. As in whenever we start the post. We'll need as much activity as possible to get a good outcome for this and end up the year. There are a few plot points that were skipped during the time jump, but we'll simply type them up, "pretend" they happened and everyone can be updated through the current plot follow up chapter thing I've been doing so far.
Once that is complete, ladies and gents, we will be moving to Invisionfree. As of now, ezboard is about to die and swap us over to the mercy of Yuku (yukuwha???) and from checking around, invisionfree seems like the biggest server to host Harry Potter role playing boards at the present moment, which in the end is good for publicity and getting new members. And really, we need some new blood in here to keep ANDHC alive! We've lasted over two years and we're not going down now. SO, Rei and I have been working on style sheets today at a test board, and we're finally starting to figure out how skinning works. We'll probably have the board complete in the next few weeks (hopefully) and we can begin profile transferring and such. We'll tie up all threads here, and then keep the board as an archive if we ever need to go back and reference old threads.
With the new school year starting (yay 2009-2010!) we'll be doing lots of mass advertising trying to get in a buncha members and such, and all characters that you wish to continue playing can be played, with the addition of a paragraph about the year we RPed here at the board to their profile. Just to keep things updated, but we're not going to be picky about depth or anything. If you wish to drop any characters, the board swap/start of the new year is the perfect time to do it. And apply away for new characters as well.
Sooo...does that sound good?

Good fun. Question - can we drop characters too? I'm not a huge fan of Jordyn (and it's not like she got any play anyway) so I'm thinking of just cutting her out... And bringing in someone else
Re: Important Annoucement
Yaaaay, Invision Free! For some reason Invision Free is just easier to post at....or it seems like it. o.o I dunno, I seem to be more active at those boards this this one....Obviously. XD;;;
Re: Important Annoucement
w00t! I'm glad people like the plan so far! And yeah, Lyssa you can definitely drop Jordyn.
*bounces*
I'm really excited for the transfer now. I should probably work on finishing up with the layout...>.< Invision has soooo many more graphics to fill than ezboard does.
Re: Important Annoucement
Eek just wanted to clarify something real quick in case it was confusing. If you're keeping your characters, you DON'T need to write a new application for them. Simply add a small paragraph of history about the last RP year.

Re: Important Annoucement
Heh, 'nother question. I'm planning on seriously revamping Adrienne's application, since it's not every day someone gets capture, tortured, released, etc. without changing much at all. I'm not proposing anything dramatic (like a sudden urge to be self-sacrificing or anything) but she is going to change a great deal. Do you just want me to resubmit her, based on how many changes happen?
