New Union Community Forums

Hello everyone!

Recently I established a new forum for my close buddies on the game. The concept was to have somewhere to organise events, socials and chat, but also combine SG forums under one place. Indeed the European CoH forums work for this to a high degree. Just sometimes when you want to host private events it becomes difficult to communicate. The other aspect of the forum, is that at the moment we are all playing CoH, but having established really good relationships with a lot of people in the game, the forum is designed to keep everyone talking, even when people are unable to play the game, or have moved on.

Anyway. The forum is up, you can find it here, and its open to everyone, (predominately Union, but no reason why other servers cannot join)

http://www.ride-gs.com/union/

I welcome you all to join and find out what we are getting up to. I also invite SG leaders to establish your own SG forum here also, should you not have one already. Leaders would be granted moderator status and you would be repsonsible for the upkeep of their respective sub-forum in a 'use it (cleanly) or lose it' way. Infact, not only SGs! Want to discuss roleplaying there? No problem, a forum is but a 2 minute admin set up away.

The forum has been up for 3 days now, so forgive the lack of activity for the time being, we've been testing a few styles and set ups. I am also working on a number of private groups for those that require them. Im hoping in a few weeks time it will be full of planned events. The key advantage to the Board is that posts remain Editable. Should complex plans like Hami - Raids need tweaking etc, and sign up lists, these can be done in a tidy and organised manner.

Anyway. The service is free should you wish to use it. If you would like any services added to the board, please register on the board and send me a PM.

In summary, the Forum Is:

An unofficial CoH comunication tool
A place for SGs to establish their own forum
A place to organise TF's, SF's, Trials, XP teams, Alt Sessions, Hami-Raids, Recluse SF's,
Potentially a place to organise PvP sessions/events. (im still undecided about this one, since PvP generally attracts 'heated' debate.)

The Forum Is Not

A replacement for the wealth of player information on the EU official boards, (inc Guides, Strategies)
A reliable source for official CoH information
A place to come and flame when your posts have been deleted here by Bridger!



I appreciate its treading on Cooler's toes a bit, who is responsible for the Supergroup hub which an already established and excellent resource, so you should check that out too, here; http://uk.boards.cityofheroes.com/sh...Number=115672. All im saying, is that this service is available, like many others, should you choose to use it.



Chap.

Nice, I've put my submission in, just waiting on the "Confirmation Email" now..........

Hmm, im noticing that anyone who has applied for an account since the Email confirmation was put in place, hasnt posted yet. Is that because the email confirmation isnt arriving? In which case its clearly broken as it should be pretty much instantaneous.


 

Posted

It's not arriving. I signed up at about 10-11 o' clock, and still no word.

I activated you account for you, and removed the email confirmation until i can get it working. You should be good to go now.

Edge, i activated your Silent Edge account, not your edge one. use this to log in.

Later.

What, for all two of you?

Well, at the moment, unless there's a routing/firewall issue from work, it looks like nobody can have a forum, since it's dead Jim, but not as we know it. Or something like that.

Getting a VHCS error 404, /union/ not found.

Thanks for setting this up Chaplain, I'll register as soon as I get home. I can't register while at work because the colour scheme is not very work-friendly. (An option for black text on a white background would mean I could get away with viewing it at work)

Looks like it was a routing/firewall issue with ONE of the machines I've got access to today (being on my own today)

My usual machine has no problems, it would appear.
