Not Money. I wish you luck Cuppa, we Babes of War remember with fondness the brief time you were an Honorary Prom Queen in our SG. You have always been a breath of sanity and fun and I will miss you as so many other have expressed as well.
City of X is a lesser place without you (no offense to Cricket)

You guys.... shucks.
Yes - I am still going to PAX - someone organize a meetup Friday night after the con - somewhere near to the place they are holding it and I'll be there. Just tell me where and when.
Yes - we should have an in-game party! I am working on the details - stay tuned!
Thanks for all the love and kind words. I'll miss you all tons.

CuppaJo, I can say seriously, your loss is a MAJOR blow to CoH/V. I can see why they want the best on Tabula Rasa, but darnit, I feel like pulling out the pitchforks and torches.
The City of Heroes Community is a special one and I will always look fondly on my times arguing, discussing and playing with you all. Thanks and thanks to the developers for a special experience.
Cuppa, I wish I had seen this sooner. I'll miss you Cuppa. I always kinda figured you'd be there till the end of CoH/V/whatever the future holds. I can't imagine you going. I don't know another site admin who would help me get acess to the CoV version of the forums after my name was locked out and respond to my needs there specificly. That's one of my fondest memories of you Cuppa. Good bye.
You aren't allowed to go! You are my favorite CoX Redname! The forums will seem so empty without your coffee avatar gracing every other thread.

Aww man. Just won't be the same around here. You shall be missed Cuppajoe.
Very sorry to see you go. But I guess this is one more reason to try looking into getting my paws on a US version of Tabula Rasa once it releases.
Made my decision easier, I guess 
Thought for the day:

Sorry to see you go hope TR turns out fun, unfortunately what i have seen of it so far, i have absolutely no intrest.
Anyway, i thought "GoodBye" posts were forbidden?
Have a good time at TR>

I figure it is no different then any other red name leaving, it's a business function. So you don't wonder why such and so hasn't posted, won't return PMs, etc.
But if not, guess Cricket will have to use the Ban Stick right away.

The scene from Star Wars where Obi-wan faces off against Vader suddenly leaps to mind. I can't help but picture Cricket gripping the ban stick, saying, "the circle is now complete. When last we met, I was but the learner. Now I am the master!" 
Good luck Cuppa and may it be as good for you in TR as it has been here in CoX.
Oh and we'll see you in TR 
I will miss your wonderful input and guidance and sigh.. a sad sad day for us and joyous occasion for you I hope!

You will be sorely missed, Cuppa. You have been the single best "official game person" I have ever seen, and the first one I completely trusted. You might not tell us what we want to hear, but I always knew that if you said it, it was true. And that counts for a lot.
Your even-handed approach and friendliness have done a lot to make these the friendliest and most enjoyable game message boards on the net. Good luck at Tabula Rasa!
while i will never officially support you leaving CoH/V I do wish you the best at TR. You will be missed and I hope to be able to thank you for everything in person at PAX.
CuppaJo... you have been the single most unifying force in this community. When the shizzit it the fan, you were there to calm our nerves. When things were exciting and shiny you were helping guide us through it all. I've been in many forum communities, some for good, some for bad... but you are undoubtedly the finest Forum Mistress I have had the pleasure of posting under.
You've banned me, you've unbanned me, you've rebanned me... yet despite it all you remained about as close to a friend as one could ask for, while still maintaining undeniable professionalism. You're a sweet Woman, an amazing Woman.
To say that the CoH community has lost something... someone... precious... is an understatement. We've lost our Heart, CuppaJo, we've lost You.
My sympathies go out to Cricket. This is not hyperbole.
Either way, goodbye, and good luck... as is painfully apparent...
you'll be missed.

Cuppa, thank you for making this the comunity it is. We will survive without you. But, Cricket has been trained by the best, we are in good hands. TR is lucky to have you. I wish you the best whereever your travels take you, though it is nice to know you are right next door. Please come back and visit sometime.
If you were ever curious about the impact you made to those of us on these forums, this thread will show you all you need to know. You will be missed.

I just want to add my voice to the countless others. Thank you for everything you've done here in Paragon City and the forums, you will never be matched (No offence to Cricket). You will be dearly missed for you have so much good (and just a tad of evil), but the best of wishes go with you where ever you go in life!
To quote a great movie, "Heroes get remembered, but Legends never die."
So passes the legend of CuppaJo. /e salute
*Sets up pitchfork and torch stand*
I'm here boss in case we need to storm the company....They can't take our CuppaJo. 
Good Luck CuppaJo, Tabula Rasa is lucky to get you and sorry we are losing you.
You have the rare quality of maintaining professionalism while still keeping things fun and lighthearted, combined with a good work ethic. Rare qualities indeed in a person in any work environment.
Some are legends because of their posts, others just post becoming legends in their own mind.

Bless you in all you do, you've been the one who's kept us in the loop through everything that pisses us off, and we appreciate it! Get bored of that new job, demand a better paycheck, and hurry back soon!
Thank you for crane kicking me in the face at the end of the CoV beta.
Oh and thank you for the countless time and energy you have put forward to create a great online commmunity here. You will be missed.
Hmm... the drink emote thing is a great idea. Maybe we could all form Cuppa Clone heroes just for the event.
