Scarlet Haze: Salutation kiddos. Just a note to say that the forums are looking fairly spiffy, if I do say so myself. The affiliates box is what I'm most proud of, so for those visitors with their own sites to promote, either mosie on over to the forums and send me a PM , or you can email us at maraudershideaway@hotmail.com  (Don't mock me for my unoriginality. It was 3am, ok! :P )

 Just send us a short description of your site, along with a link and a way for us to contact you. Oh yes: if you want us to link you, please return the favor. ^_^

Lady*Phoenix: Scarlet is still on a role with forum stuff, and she is apparently working on a new look for the main page.

Dracodreamer: Will the madness never end?!

Scarlet Haze: Shush. Look kids, my HTML skills leave something to be desired, so don't hold your breath... unless your Dracodreamer.

Dracodreamer: Hey!

Poisoned: Focus, people. So work is still going (it actually never stops) and on a wonderful side note: a very happy birthday to our very own Dracodreamer!

Scarlet & LP: HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Dracodreamer: Aww shucks guys.... *blushes*

Lady*Phoenix: So, this wasn't actually an announcement. This was more pointless spam so you would know we were all still alive. We're just really busy at the moment, but the updates are coming! Stay tuned!!!

Scarlet Haze: The House Sorting has started! So get moving and get yourselves Sorted people. That's all from the Fools today.

Lady*Phoenix: That's it? That's it?!

Scarlet Haze: Yup.

Lady*Phoenix: That must be the shortest announcement you've ever made.

Scarlet Haze: Pretty cool, huh? ;)

Dracodreamer: *makes trupmet noises*

Lady*Phoenix: Attention everyone! We have a most glorious announcement to make! Starting June 27, the Sorting shall begin!

Dracodreamer: *makes more trumpet noises*

Lady*Phoenix: Stop with the trumpet noises!

Dracodreamer: I was trying to create an exciting atmosphere!

Lady*Phoenix: Are you saying I'm not exciting?

Poisoned: Once again, the voice of reason steps in. Our Sorting is going to be a bit different than what you may have seen around. For one thing, the Houses are not the four of Hogwarts. Nope, nope, nope! We'll have more information on the forums as we get closer to the date Sorting begins. So keep your eyes peeled everyone!

Dracodreamer: I never said you weren't exciting, LP, I just said--

Poisoned: *gets bag of popcorn and settles down to watch the catfight*

Dracodreamer: *looks around for Scarlet and LP* Hehehe. I snuck on the main page!

Poisoned: *clears throat*

Dracodreamer: OK, ok, we snuck on the main page.

Poisoned: Thank you.

Dracodreamer: Well, with LP actually having a life--

Poisoned: And Scarlet being who knows where at the moment--

Dracodreamer: We wanted to give you a notice from the other admins!

Poisoned: Shall we be getting on with it then?

Dracodreamer: Oh right. *sheepish grin* Well, the first thing is that we've changed the forums look! Instead of that weird blueish green color, we're now a wicked silver. Which look really cool with the red accents.

Poisoned: The Fab Four page is up and running! James, Sirius, and Peter are all up, Scarlet is working on Remus, and Lily is on her way. Also, we're creating a page that has pics from the upcoming Prisoner of Azkaban movie --

Dracodreamer: Friday! *squeals*

Poisoned: *sigh* -- the upcoming Prisoner of Azkaban movie, which introduces the Marauders for the first time. That should be up soon.

Dracodreamer: That's it! Now lets go quick, before we get caught hacking into the main page account.

Scarlet Haze: Yeah, you two are real rebels. *eye roll*

Dracodreamer: How long have you been there?!

Scarlet Haze: Depends. How long do you think I've been here?

Poisoned: That is the last time I let you talk me into anything!

Scarlet Haze: *looks at visitors* You should see the staff meetings. *smiles*

Lady*Phoenix: Well, as you can see, Scarlet Haze has been playing around with the layout again, both here on the main page and on the forums too! She's also looking around at other places, and there is a good chance that our sites address may change very soon. We'll be sending out emails to all of our members with more information on that.

Scarlet Haze: We've also filled the other two admin positions for the MH forums! Everyone be sure and give your shout outs to Dracodreamer and Poisoned. Also, we have Phoenix Fire and Bamblebee heading up the mod team. Mod positions are still open, but we need to get more members first, so lets all ban together to get this place jumpin!
