Hogwarts Weight Loss Challenge [Term 18] - 9 Week Challenge

First, thank you for all of the interest!

At this point, if you sent in an application [as of the time that I'm making this post], you should have heard from myself or one of the prefects regarding your application. Please PM me if you did not get a response from anyone!

Secondly, since we have gotten so much more interest in the last week, we have discussed amongst the staff about increasing the amount of students/house, so more people may end up getting off the wait list later this weekend depending on how many total applications we have. You'll get a PM from one of the staff members when/if an opening in a house opens up. Worst case, anyone who doesn't get off the wait list this term will be PM'd the Term 19 application [at the end of this term, so a little after March 11th] before we post it to the forums.

Also, I did have several usernames that brought up "unknown user" (which usually means there was a typo in the username) so please PM me if you think that you submitted an application with one of the following usernames:
blt27taylor6667
brose714
Danicadesoto
LTom3

Thank you! And again - if you submitted an application and did not hear from anyone, please send me a PM since we may not have received your application then!

UPDATE

We have found out that many of the prefects are unable to PM wait listers (ie they send them a PM to invite them to join as a student, and then the person in question does not receive anything - even some of my PMs are not going through as we found out from another prefect who was friends with the student that I tried to PM...) At this point, I'm not even sure if everyone who has applied has gotten my PM about being on the wait list (since some are unread). Please note that if you have PM'd me and I never read/responded, then I likely didn't receive your PM

While we are discussing the issue with the MFP staff to hopefully solve this issue in the future, we have also created a group for all current wait listers so the prefects will also tag any wait lister who has been invited in that group as well, so essentially you would get notified that way if you were invited to join.

The group will also act as a general news group for current/former Hogwarts students (ie I will post the new application for each term there). So to be clear- while there may be some chatting/etc in that group, it will NOT be a challenge group, simply a way that we will keep former students, anyone on the wait list, etc updated on the next Hogwarts challenge as well as we will be inviting wait listers in that group (so in one thread for the current term, we will tag a student when they get invited).

It is totally optional to join, but it should hopefully make sure that you get notified if you end up invited to join the Hogwarts Weight Loss Challenge since the PMs are VERY glitchy right now (and we ran into this issue last term as well, but we were hoping it was temporary, but it's clearly not being fixed very quickly).

If you are interested - please request to join http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/group/125437-hogsmeade-village

Let me know if you have any questions!

Again - this group is mainly so any wait listers can be notified in this group as well in case are PMs are not going through and we are not receiving your PMs.

For those who are interested in the challenge - feel free to join and post in the thread to get added to the current wait list too

Sincerely,
Kisame
