It is my sad duty to inform everyone that August will be my last month with City of Heroes and City of Villains.
I am taking over community management of Tabula Rasa full-time as of Sept. 1st. Cricket will be your primary community person when Sept. 1 rolls around and I will no longer accept PMs as of that date.
I just wanted to take a second and thank everyone for all their support and kind words over the last two years. Even in the darkest hours I could always count on there being a few bright posts, emails or PMs in my inbox. These kept me going more than coffee ever could and they always brought a smile to my face.
I also want to thank everyone who has ever created well thought out, constructive post/PM. I know bugs or other game issues can be frustrating at times, but a community person's best friend is the player who takes that little extra step to research and document their issue while keeping it about the issue, and not about Statesman's momma.
Special thank you's to all the staff both here at NCsoft and at Cryptic for all your hard work, for answering questions and for listening to community concerns. Staff may not always agree - but they [u]always[u] listen.
Finally, thanks to you - the community. This has been a great community to work for and be a part of for the last two years and it's very hard leaving such a wonderful group of people. You are so intelligent, passionate, creative, funny and charming that it amazes me every day. And despite how it may appear on the surface sometimes - you all care for each other deeply and are always ready to lend a helping hand to those less fortunate. You are true heroes and there is no Paragon City without you. It has been my honor to serve you.

DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOM!
Farewell Cuppa, you will be sorely missed.
*clings to Cuppa* NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! You can't leave us!! *cries like a 3 year old girl*
We will keep the coffee warm for ya. Please don't be a stranger and come back and vist as much as you can. You have been more than patient with us Cuppa, and will be greatly missed.
So if Cricket is going to be the # 1 Comm person, can I be # 2? 
Quick... Lets treat this situation like a game of trading cards.... Who can we trade for Cuppa???? /em points to my Arctic Sun card :P

Does this mean that TR will finally get forums of it's own as of Sept 1? Or have they been hiding from me? I've been very interested in this game and eager to see/input some more info.
It's good to hear they're moving over a seasoned Rep like yourself over, as a future TR player, I welcome you!
Cuppa, thank you for everything you've done for us. You will be greatly missed. Good luck with Tabula Rasa.
And it goes without saying that if you ever have the urge to put on the cowl and capes for a bit, we'd all be proud to fight the forces of evil with you.
My arcs are constantly shifting, just search for GadgetDon for the latest.
The world beware! I've started a blog

Well I keep hearing about this Tabula Rasa, so I guess it's about time to look into it, lol.
;cries
You will be missed. Please visit us often.
Darn it, cruel way to get me to get Tabula Rasa...grumble...
Story Arcs I created:
Every Rose: (#17702) Villainous vs Legacy Chain. Forget Arachnos, join the CoT!
Cosplay Madness!: (#3643) Neutral vs Custom Foes. Heroes at a pop culture convention!
Kiss Hello Goodbye: (#156389) Heroic vs Custom Foes. Film Noir/Hardboiled detective adventure!

I think I'm going to go into a corner and cry now.

Let me add to the overwhelming response here, and say "Thanks!" for your incredible professionalism and sense of humor. Injecting reason with a smile into some crazy situations has been much appreciated. The community will miss you here at CoH/CoV.

While I have spent most of my time oin the Rogue Isles, it is sad to hear that one of the greats of Paragon City, a true unsung hero, is moving on.
/rpoff
Hopefully tou will grace us ingame once in a while (and I am still pulling for you to be on the Thompson Center when they finally get around to putting into the game 
).
Have fun Cuppa. You'll We'll always have a pot of fresh brew if you stop back in.
Best of wishes, Cuppa. It just ain't right that you're going, but I hope it counts a promotion and pay raise in some way. 
Demand better benefits and a banstick that delivers electric shocks through the internet.

NNNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Will some Triumph Pie make you consider otherwise?
This is sad news...Cuppa has been part of the very foundation of this community since this community was nothing more than a twinkle in Statesman's eye. Losing her is like losing a family member, and her stalwart, steadfast presence on the boards in the face of quote pyramids, avatar wars, and personal spats has been defining for the community.
Nowhere else have I found a forum that is so well-run. Cuppa handles this dumpster full of screaming howler monkeys with grace and aplomb and I sure hope Cricket can manage to do half as well (no offense meant to Cricket, but we haven't seen nearly as much of her style as we have of our precious coffee queen).
We don't get a vote?
Cuppa has/had waaaay too much power if we do not get a vote on whether she can leave or not...

And today was turning out to be such a good day.
To say you'll be missed would be the greatest understatement of the decade.
Wishing you well in your new endeavors. *hugs*
Hummph! Tabula Rasa doesn't deserve you, Cuppa.....
Good luck in the saddle with that herd of cats.....
Rend this space....
I'll miss ya, Cuppajo, Thank you for all your help in the past.
Good Luck on your new job.
Saw that one coming a mile away. 
Meaning when Cricket joined up it felt like a person teaching their replacement. Anyways have fun Teblablalalh what ever the name of that game is
@artphobia
To the best dev team ever: I enjoyed meeting you all at the Summits and best of luck in all your future endeavors.
Sorry to see you go Cuppa you really made these boards worth while... you will be missed.
Wow. "All Good Things..."
I guess if Cricket ever gets an associate, we know Cricket's gone in a few months...
Bring another NCSoft meetup to Howie's Game Shack, since you're now on Lord British's pet project! "Lord British, this IS the meetup location you are looking for..."
May I suggest you do a farewell tour as Ms. Liberty over the course of your last week here? (like maybe hit Pocket D in 2 servers/night from mon-sat or so.)
Might be amusing if you could be Ms. Liberty by possessing the trainer in Atlas, so people see Ms. Liberty step off the pedestal!
May the TR forum software have all the features you've dreamed of!
Bye.
