Good early-afternoon to all Dumbledore's Army members,
This has been a very long and exciting journey for Dumbledore's Army and I have been very happy to be a part of it. I appreciate the support I had with the group for the majority of these past few months. I hope to one day encounter it again.
Unfortunately, I will be putting the entire community on HIATUS status. I am not receiving the same amount of support that I once had. It is very disappointing because I spent many hours on this community and it is something I am very proud of. I sort of gave you all an "anonymous" test, which was to see if you'd promote at the asked time. When I took the hiatus off of application processing, I asked all of you to promote the community so we could get the ball rolling again. That clearly has not happened, sadly.
I do appreciate the support of those who stuck with it until the now. I appreciate your communication and dedication and I would like to let you all know that Dumbledore's Army will be back later on down the line. Right now, most members need to re-evaluate their status in this great community. And yes, I would like to call it a great community because in the beginning, it was... because of the creativity, because of the dedication, and because of the members. When you joined, you promised you would be active and support the group. I thought it would be easy to filter out those not as enthusiastic by drawing out the application process with three steps (including an interview!), but I obviously misjudged.
I hope to one day work with you all again.
As of now, Dumbledore's Army is closed.
