You might notice your title has changed... There is a thread in the forums that explains it all

Attention Game Players of Hogwarts Live…

Once again the topic and the act of cyber rape have surfaced on our majestic site. We would hope that you would know and realize that rape in real life or even on a game is not an appropriate action but for those of you who do not I am writing this to let you know in writing that it is in FACT not a topic that should be done on this site and will cause you to be banned from the site. What this means? Well it means do not run around touching, kissing, doing other things to people who have not agreed to do these things with you. If you think you might like someone then use the flirt area available to you in Maddam Puddlefoots located in the Great Hall. So once again just to make double and extra sure we all understand. IF you cyber rape someone you will be banned from the site. We also would prefer that the topic of rape is not talked about in the open chat areas if you feel that you must discuss this topic then do so in owls.

Here are your new Moderators:

Hello students of Hogwarts Live its election time at our fair site so go to the forums and cast your vote. The voting is on the staff and a YES or NO by each name is all that is needed. We do not need any commentary on your vote or why you are voting that way. So if you don’t vote then you have no reason to complain in the future about the staff.

P.S. There is no campaigning, bullying, bribery, or extortion for votes if someone does try to harass you either about your vote or tell you how to vote then please contact either Danilo, Edmund or myself.

Only one VOTE per IP Address we will be checking

P.S.S. Blackmail is also not allowed..(thanks for pointing that one out Jono(biggrin)

I have to devote my time right now to turning in late work, finishing up final projects and studying for exams. So please do not pester me with questions or things to fix till Wednesday, December 21. You still may send petitions and they will be marked appropriately by the other staffers. If you're wondering why I've seemed rude lately it is because I'm not in a good mood and I'm a bit fed up with certain players on here.

Order of the Phoenix points: 58199
Death Eaters points: 42892

Thus ends the last of the Clan Wars. The new clan system will be implemented sometime in January.

Please do not send administrators more than one owl until they respond to your question. It is quite annoying to receive more than one owl in a row from the same person in succession. I'm sure the moderators do not wish to be pestered either. Also, please only send out one petition; even if you've been waiting a while, sending multiple petitions postpones the entire process. Please make sure you do not send admins questions directly related to game play such as "What title comes after...?" or "Where is...?", please keep those type of questions to the commentaries/chats and the roleplaying forums (the same goes for suggestions). I will be more than happy to help you with any questions related to donations and most personal matters. Other than that please utilize the petition for help link in order to receive the most expedient assistance with regard to technical problems, bugs, and abuse/harassment issues. Also, please read the FAQ in its entirety along with all posted warning messages such as the one that appears before owling a staff member. It is made clear not to ask for special favors such as gems and gold or raised stats. If you feel you have been wrongly treated please read Section 6.a of the Terms of Use agreement as well as the Forum Guidelines before complaining. These documents are correspondingly located at the subsequent locations:

Some of you may have noticed that I have not been online lately. This is due to the fact that I have been swamped with final projects and have been desperately trying to get my grades up by studying hard that way I will not lose my scholarship, which would be a very costly mistake on my part if it were to happen. I will be in Albuquerque, NM starting tomorrow for about a week and then I will be in Los Angeles, CA for a few days. I will come online on Monday probably to settle everything, but I have to write some essays to test out of some courses first. Bellatrix, Edmund, and Errol can assume my role as Headmaster if I am absent for prolonged periods of time. I just need to be notified of their actions when I return to make sure I agree with their decisions.
