Read: An idea

thats a much better idea, methinks. although not so true to canon. seems better to the site.

I understand what you are saying and I know that the canon has been stretched, but since it already has been this way for awhile, it is kind of frustrating to have the system change on us. My plot may not completely be ruined by it, but there is no doubt it would suffer. Not to mention, personally, I have a lot of fun RP-ing with the grad students on this site, and to have that option almost eliminated makes me really worried.

I could work with havind Diagon Alley, Knockturn Alley, and Hogsmeade open though. I don't see how a student can really justify being in France or something during the school term, but those are acceptable.

Ok, but i'd prefer to be keeping at an every 4th week thing, solely because, as i mentioned, if you make something special, people go for it.

(For example, remember the holidays forums? Exact same thing as WWR, just with a fuss made about it.
Holiday forums = Good activity
WWR = Bad
Yet, they were the same thing)

So, i suppose the shops in Diagon alley and Knockturn alley, as well as all of Hogsmeade could open every four weeks, i wouldn't have them open all the time.

However, you can still redeem yourself and post in the main topics i'm opening.

???I'm very confused. Can one of you explain please?

i agree with it though i think there should be 1 or 2 place that students should be able to rp in besides the ones in Hogwarts like. have special weekends or something where students can go home for 2 days or something then which should be like a privilege like in the books hogsmeade.

though thats just my opinion

I'm still not convinced, really. I have a feeling overall activity may go down if students suddenly can't post in the places they have before... And like I said, people who ARE posting actively are being punished for things they can not control.

Ana, it's an idea to make it that students can only post in Hogwarts.

Steph, we've been discussing what the terms are going to be if we do go ahead with it

Cut short and sweet as i have to run:

Jack, i know you may not be happy with it, and it may seem as a punishment, but we're not doing it to be mean, but we're not, we just want to get the main category on PA a bit more active.

argh, gotta run

I know you guys aren't, I'm just letting you know it worries me quite a bit. I think we should try to find some positive ways to enforce posting in Hogwarts before we go about ways that feel more negative.

Well, if it doesn't increase, in the classes and the other topics, that's what we're gonna do, i've made allowances, not it's up to the member body as a whole, if you can't do that, we'll bring this in, Sorry if that annoys you, but we have made some allowances for it >>

What about cleaning student accounts? Clearing the classes of inactive students, take all the ones not posting and make them only allowed to see Hogwarts? Just an idea, allow those that actually post in Hoggy-Warts outside.
