Yes, I did send out a mass email just now, and I will paste the body of it here in case your email blocks Proboards servers (AOL and Hotmail are pretty bad about doing that, which is why I suggest having a Yahoo or GMail account) and you never see it in your inbox.
I would like to take this moment to remind everyone to check your spam boxes! Sometimes Proboards messages get filtered there, and if you don't add them to the safe list or mark it as safe (and/or move it from the spam bin), then it will always go there. I've decided to start alerting you all when I send a mass PM in case you don't get it, so you can check for it, or at the very least, know what it was I wanted to say.

So, the idea of doing another Quidditch match has come up, and the idea has generally been well met. There is a poll in the Quibbler about what dates and times are good for everyone, and we will do our best to try and match up the game time to get everyone included in the game. Some of us have to work, some have school, some are just in a completely different time zone than the majority. We know that some people will miss out, and we are horribly sorry that we cannot accommodate to your time. Hopefully as we continue on with this we will find something that works for everyone regardless of timezone and still allows a somewhat live-action feel to it.
The next big step also is where we are going to go with our plots. The idea has been suggested that we finally kick the pig and get going with having Voldemort take over the Ministry, have Snape take over being Headmaster, and having the Trio leave Hogwarts. This idea is still in the air, and we would love feedback on it. Remember, we will do whatever it is that you and your fellow members want to do, within moderation. (As in, there is no way that we'll run around with pants on our head singing 'God Bless the Queen' because that's just silly.)
The next point of interest also is character aging. There is a gap on how to actually go about aging characters so that our plots can stay coherent, and to be honest it's slightly confusing how to go on about it. Not that the concept is confusing, simply the matter of how, more or less, the process of aging characters. We still need a lot of feedback on this, on how you guys want to go about getting it done, so please let us know your ideas!
New skins have also been added to H&H, and after you have had a chance to find out which you like best, a poll will shortly go up to determine which skin should be the default that guests see. The variety is awesome, and every one of them looks good, but, it's up to you to decide which one is best.
Also, in case you have not been to the forum recently, H&H was upgraded from Proboards version 4 to Proboards version 4.5! We now have cool features such as seeing the online users in the last 24 hours, adding a poll to a current thread, and longer post length. (The longer post length is my personal favorite - it went from 25 thousand characters to 60 thousand characters - over double what it was before!) To add to all of that, we will shortly be getting a month of ad-free to the board, and will start accepting donations to make the board and the cbox ad-free. This is to better help your experience at H&H, and to make your life as awesome as possible.
If you've not logged in for a while, or have not finished or even made a character, we hope you'll come back and at least remember why you joined in the first place, and pick up where you left off. If you're on pretty frequently, I hope you continue to make those awesome plots and role plays and enjoy yourself as much as you can.
If I missed any news, I will do my best to add to it when I remember it!
Cheers,
Ron and the H&H Staffers
