We're not just pleased to have great new software--the best part of this change is that City of Heroes® forum dwellers are about to become one big happy family! That's right; we're integrating our North American and European communities into one board so everyone can be together!

Groovy 
Positron: "There are no bugs [in City of Heroes], just varying degrees of features."
Oh, shared boards for both US and EU communities? That's nice.
I can't help but wonder if this hints towards a global CoH account later on, but that's just speculation. Would be kind of nice to gain access to both US and EU servers, though.

2. Think about keeping or changing your existing forum handle!
You will be getting shiny new functions and options to play with on the new forums but changing your forum handle will NOT be one of them so make sure you're happy with your name prior to the transition! If you're not and want to make a change, please follow these directions:

This is my question as well. I just changed my display name a little while ago, don't want to get screwed out of what I finally decided I like.

Boy did I think about that one. I just hope it never turns into a: You Americans suck! No, you EU people suck! I dont know if combining them is such a good ideah. Meh, dont bother me none though.
If a EU person has my forum handle, to bad, cause I am Cherokee 
IT'S MINE! But I seriously doubt it.

What no Cuppaclones under the new software ?
And how will PK survive without a weekly name change ?
Inbox cleaned/saved and ready!

Water! WATER! I'm feeling faint!
Maaaan. Namechange is my favorite forum functionality on every forum. But no more! Yuck.

Seriously. .... this saddens me... >_> 
But I too hope that maybe this means everyone might get global server access too, that'd be nice mostly for the folks who've made an account buying error and got on where they didn't want to after the 'freebie' switches.
I just hope that the new forums have an archive and merge feature, because I'm so sick of having threads *deleted* because they're old, and no longer available. So many great threads including art, screenies and events along with discussions aplenty, have gone into the vast internet void because they couldn't be archived.

Oh, wait, um...
Maybe I should take a look at those boards to see what we are getting into. I never looked on the EU boards before.
EDIT: I just looked. Same crap there as here. Nothin' much different.
Yay, will be nice to have more EU people to play with!
Always remember, we were Heroes.
What if some POSER takes my name?
Migration to new Message Boards!
We know some of you have heard this before...but this time we really mean it! We're moving to brand-spanking new message boards, and we don't mind telling you...we're kind of excited about it!
We're not just pleased to have great new software--the best part of this change is that City of Heroes® forum dwellers are about to become one big happy family! That's right; we're integrating our North American and European communities into one board so everyone can be together!
We will announce a firm date for the move soon, but our first order of business is to let you know about it as quickly as possible so that you have enough time to prepare! There are a couple of things that you need to do prior to the migration:
1. Save Your Private Messages!
To help minimize the amount of data that has to transfer over to the new forums (and decrease the amount of time the boards will need to be down during the migration), we will only be moving over the last two years worth of Private Messages. We advise all forum members to go through their PMs and copy/paste the ones they wish to save into a .doc or .txt file, or whatever other medium is preferred. Even though we will transfer over 2 years worth of PMs, we would like to suggest that everyone clean out their Message Box in general to the best of their ability and keep the number of PMs remaining to a minimum. It can only help with the migration!
2. Think about keeping or changing your existing forum handle!
You will be getting shiny new functions and options to play with on the new forums but changing your forum handle will NOT be one of them so make sure you're happy with your name prior to the transition! If you're not and want to make a change, please follow these directions:
Step 1 - Click on My Home
Step 2 - Click Edit "Personal information, email, password, etc."
Step 3 - Change Display Name
Step 4 - Click Submit
*Note you will need to enter and verify a password before clicking submit
As already mentioned, we will be updating you on things again soon, but until then, please save those PM's and think about your forum handle ASAP. Then, prepare yourselves to become one, big, fun CoH community!
