Hello MH! The admins think that the site needs a little... Updating. So we've thought up some ideas and I'm posting them to hear what YOU guys think.
Affiliation Maybe you've seen the affiliation scrollbar under the CBox. Yes, we've started to affiliate. Hopefully, this will promote activeness in the site. And our first affiliate is Giovanna Nero's site! Maybe if any of you have active sites and your site meets all of the affiliation needs, we can affiliate!
Quidditch We don't have enough active members to make 4 teams. So we were thinking that two houses could combine to make ONE team. E.g. Slytherclaw VS. Huffledor. A topic that arose was that Slytherin wouldn't WANT to be teamed up with another team. We'd be happy to hear your thoughts on it, Slytherins.
-Site Must Become More Active Before Quidditch Is Pursued-
7 years We plan on bringing in 7 years to the site instead of just 4. Only people with high ranks would be able to become 7th years, e.g. Prefects, Head Boy/Girl, Quidditch Captain. But everyone else is welcome to become higher ranked. BUT, under ONE condition: You must pass an exam! These questions will be as un-GOOGable as possible. So make sure you read up on your Harry Potter and then you need to take a test to get into 5th and 6th years.
-OR-
We can judge students on their RP ability to put them in a year. For example, if you're an AMAZING RPer, you would be put into 6th year. If you were new at everything, 1st year for you. As you continue to get better, your year would increase.
-We need YOUR opinion to decide-
Plot We've already started a plot where the Death Eaters and the Order are going to get into a war. BUT, since we don't really have enough ACTIVE Order members nor ENOUGH Death Eaters, that plot is a no-go. Maybe when the site gets more active it will continue. But for now, I think a sub-plot should come into play. Where you guys actually have something interesting to do, until we have more members. So, we want to hear your ideas for a sub-plot.
-We May Need A Plotmaster-
Activity As you've probably noticed, basically everything needs an active site; Something of which we don't have at the moment. Slowly, more people are joining the site because of our ads and affiliations. But we can't do it alone! We need everyone's help. I know this sounds pushy but, tell your friends and if you have an RP site, feel free to affiliate with us!
Layout Changes Well, I've tried my best on trying to affililate, advertise and change the header of the site. I added scrolling bars and fading lists, and I just wanted to know if they look stupid or if they make the site look better and more up-to-date. If they look terrible, I'll ask Aron to do it and maybe he'll do a better job.
Thank you, MH, for being here and helping the site and making it what it is now. This thread will be open until we get some good ideas! Don't be shy, every idea is appreciated! ;D

I thought to be more organized I hope this helps
Affiliation
I have seen it yes and I love the idea, the look and all of that, my thoughts on the matter is that I don’t, in all truth have any. So I will not waste your any anymore then I have to. -Smiles-
Quidditch
Ok, as far as quidditch goes I do not think we should have teams going into just two and it would or might make a lot of people upset and not stay true. One suggestion is what if we get more people to play warm ups? Let others see how it’s down, give them a sample play and what not or for anyone that needs help have rp groups and times set up to help train people to gain said ability to play a character in their house team. Maybe people do not feel they can or that they do not know how or enough about the game and rules of quidditch. I have other idea’s and thoughts but that is my more logical thought.
7 years
I think that is a very good idea. The more people know about something the better they can role play it. One would not want a class full of math students to have a teacher that teaches history. It does not go well. I can not stress my feelings anymore then that I know what ever worth doing is worth doing right. If people want to really do something and they have the drive then they will do what is needed to gain the fruit of their desires. So I agree with this completely.
On another note it’s a good idea to let people show the ability to role play and give the desire to others to be as good or have something to look forward to. But how can one put someone that knows nothing about Harry Potter or Hogwarts or the Wizarding world for that matter into a position that others will follow behind them. It would be like the blind leading the blind.
Plot
Duels, duels and more duels. It was out fun to set up duels and maybe even a wizard cup or then again why not have a second organization. Maybe the shadow snakes of something that would threaten both the Order and the Death Eaters as well. Something that would get all bloods bumping and forcing all parties to have to react to something. Maybe a death or something really big that happens. Muggle killings or a few wizards that are killed publicly. All just thoughts and idea’s.
Activity
Ok I know this might not do anything at all. But I am a wonderful web site designer for moon fruit and I have done a lot of sites over the years. I could make a site for you, this storyline and before I have AOL and there are still a following of rp’ers for HP here in AOL I would make a site that pulls them in as well. I would work for you guys and you alone. I am a rather loyal person so. -Nods- Anyways I could make a kick ass site that gives pictures of all the people that join this MB (Message Board) and get people from AOL to join. It’s worth a shot.
Layout Changes
I have to say it. The layout was and is one of the main reasons why I joins. I love the fact that it’s so easy to get around in and everyone in the group is so helpful. When I needed help you all came together and helped me. The layout is wonderful, perfect and it makes it all look so good. Don’t change a thing. This is why you… this site has to many members, this is why you guys are still around and this is why I joined. No other reason. The site is perfect.

People, if you're going to talk to me about the plot, don't post it here! I don't want everyone to know. I like the Plots to be kept secret!
Our Plotmasters ARE: Izzie Jacobs and Claudia Steele!

Affiliation -[/u] I think it's a great idea. Finally MH'll get back on the market, so to speak.
Quidditch -[/u] Personally, I think that there are enough active people here for the four teams, but I don't think that most Slytherins would have a problem with it. [They didn't on my site.. -cough- Did you just sub-consciously take that from me? =P lol, Just kidding, I don't overly care.]
Years -[/u] I think it should be a combination of the two. Like if someone gets perfect on their exam, but can't roleplay, may be they should be a fifth year instead of a sixth or seventh -- just for an example.
Plot -[/u] Well I can come up with a lot of plots, so I'll just PM you if I think of one, lol.
Layout Changes -[/u] We've already talked about this quite a bit. (;
