HSKS 4: Gryffindor House Quiz

I have dutifully answered the call of my proud house.

ROAR ROAR GRYFFINDOR!!!

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.
