Poz is female.
Are they married? Are they rich? Are they interested? hehe 
I'm assuming War_Witch is also female. Been a while since s/he posted though.
COH/CoV - Virtue
8 Ball - Lev 50 Kin/Energy Defender
The Canadian Fist - Lev 50 Ice/EM Blaster
Omega Ghost - Lev 50 Robo/Dark MM
Ghostfall - Lev 50 Arachnos Crab Soldier
The same Poz that does not sleep and constantly fixes bugs?

Yes.
Also the same Poz that is confused with Positron. (For some insane reason.)
Question: Are there any female devs?
Answer: They were all female at one point. That 'Development and Growth' Seminar NCsoft had them attend in Thailand was -not- what they were expecting at all. Some did escape though and retain their feminine whiles.
*cough* *cough*
Every time I ask my wife to get rid of a spider or scorpion she freaks out. Personal exsperiance has taught me that girls just don't seem to like bugs. It does not mean it is impossible, just unlikly from my view.
LOL I'm sure it'll come as a great shock to Poz that he's a female.

Altough it might answer a few questions...
I'm sure that you will be more than happy to braid his... er... her... its... hair. 
They are a rare breed. Less than 10% of video game developers are women.
The article is a good read.

Yet half the characters in this game are female. Scary really.
CuppaJo is female, yet gets called a he on these boards sometimes. Must be the beard.

Developer != Player.
OOPS, my bad!
Incidentally I think you would be (pleasantly?) surprised to find how many CoH players are actually women. The number of female gamers in recent years has absolutely skyrocketed. Any actual numbers slip my mind at the moment, but I wouldn't be surprised if they are approaching or above a quarter of the population.
Im almost positive Cuppajo is female. Some DEV said she somewhere on some post.

Yep, I read that as well.... But Cupa is a board moderator, not a developer, so does she count?
I must say though, she certainly has taken the Mother Hen meets Catholic Nun approach to board moderation! hehe
I think she's actually done a heII of a job wipiing this place into shape!

But Positron is a "she", no?

I think The Sims has a lot to do with more females getting into video games... I know it's the first one my girlfriend really started playing (must be 'cause women are so controlling - lol) and now she plays Jedi Academy, Medal of Honor, Battlefield 1942...
And I just got her City of Heroes.
I'm pretty sure Jack Emmert is female.
*shakes her head* Nope. Positron is a guy.

Not sure about Positron, but I made the same mistake you did (although maybe not for the same reason). Poz's name is Shannon, which I ***-U-MEd was a female name. Oops!
edit: Never mind, now that War Witch posted, I am sure about Positron.
and do they post to the forms?
