HSKS - A History
First HSKS Swap
May 1 - June 21, 2007
53 Participated
3 Quidditch matches.
Used Swap-bot for Sign Ups and it was a disaster!
Note: Swap-bot is not good for complex swaps.
Prefects helped track scores.
Follow up not very good.
No Angel package program
Kept no record of bad swappers.
I supplied all prizes for Quidditch.
HSKS2
30 Participated
Only ran 5 weeks.
Began Sign-ups a week before the first swap ended because I was going on a trip and needed to fit the swap in before I left.
Changed from swap-bot sign ups to using a Bravenet form. Still lost some registration forms or some of the form information was missing and I had to do a lot of back-tracking.
Only 2 Quidditch matches because of the shortened swap time.
Follow up still terrible. Prefects a big part of any follow up that was accomplished. No Angel Package program.
1 person banned because they didn't fulfill the swap.
I supplied all prizes for Quidditch.
HSKS3
60 Participated
Ran from end of September '07 until Oct. 31st.
Used Bravenet forms again with same result from HSKS2.
Enlisted the help of Angels for the first time.
Two Angel packages sent.
Follow up still not very good.
Prefects a big part of any follow up that was accomplished.
1 person banned because they did not fulfill the swap.
I supplied most prizes for Quidditch. I had help from 3 swap members for two of the prizes.
HSKS4
Took a 2 month break from HSKS3.
83 Participating.
Running from Jan. 12 - April 4, 2008.
Registration strictly through email. Simplified my world immensely!
Updated my database to include posting follow up, ability to donate, bounced email notifications, banned swappers from previous swaps, delivery confirmation numbers, date packages were sent/received.
First secret HSKS.
Swap member decided to blog in character, so many participants followed suit. Character blogs have helped spread the frenzy.
Stricter guidelines on weekly posting. Used demerit system for the first time.
First time posting birthdays.
Created Common Rooms for chatting with huge success.
Wrote the Daily Prophet for the first time to keep swap members informed. Well received.
First time requiring delivery confirmation receipts.
Changed form to ask for prize donations and only 38% said that they could not help out with prizes.

Waaahhhh.....Where do we sign up?
Aaarrgghhh! Yes, where do we sign up? I guess our headmistress is busy ushering in the New Year!
At least I'm not alone here looking for a link. LOL
Gave all the family kisses, and then quickly jumped online! You've got to have your priorities straight . . .
I say we put sneezing dust in her face powder! I just KNOW there is going to be a run on signing up.....
Has anyone noticed the time stamp on our posts? How very easterncentric of us to assume it is Jan. 1 HER time.....
Oh man, I didn't think of that, was going by the clock time. I don't think I can stay up that late. :(
I was watching the clock tick over... but no sign up sheet has appeared! Waaahhh!
I can do it . . . only three more hours to go!
Very easterncentric of us, indeed! :)
On the other hand, it's Jan. 1 SOMEWHERE!
Esmerelda--I see you're from Baltimore! I live in Pasadena MD--not far away! Greetings and Happy New Year!
By the way, HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Yes everyone, Happy New Year!
Yes, Happy New Year! Are we all going to hang for another 2.5 hours and hope the application appears? I'm game!
I'm going to try. Gives me time to start a new project. lol
I'm trying to figure out how to make the HSKS4 image a link in my blog. It means futzing with html and that means I'll probably be awake for hours. I'm with ya ladies...
Sorry! I meant to let you know that I'm on the West Coast :) No celebrating for me yet. Only an hour and a half to go!
Posting using the 'nickname' to test it out.
Am I the only one looking for the link?
Nope, we are all waiting for it.
While we are all waiting PATIENTLY for it to turn midnight on the west coast, may I invite you to my in-character blog at http://esmereldabeanswallow.blogspot.com/
I just posted a recipe for today's dinner!
Happy New Year! Goodnight everyone.
Happy New Year Everyone!
