Geh, bwa, eh, kuh... WHA?! They put the servers up BEFORE the alloted downtime ended?!
EDIT: Store's not up yet, though. Not the booster, then.
That looks like a helluva lot of fun!
(CoH is downloading a patch for me now)

just needed to update mine, the login servers back up
Cathedral of pain was a, sort of, TF for your SG, but you could/needed more than one full team. Yes, you could get TWO teams inside the CoP and steal an Item of Power that would boost everyone in the supergroup as long as it was kept in the SG base - but another SG could try raiding your base and steal it, so you'd have to defend your base to keep it.
Imho it was the first real attempt att getting real raids into the game, and since then they've not tried it again, content with those mothership "raids" using the existing chat system.
As for CoP: Of course someone found a way to exploit it... and it shut down before most of us got to try it out. Since then, it's become something of a myth that the devs don't speak of. Much like the twilight zone/out-of-body bug. 
Thirty seven minutes to update for me... I'm going to go do something useful for a bit
Nothing mentioned in the GMoTD, maybe was just the hami's. Talk about getting my hopes up for nothing 
6 people online....
Indeed, they killed the hami's. And it took 3 hours to do that!? Damn.
w00t... That's bad, you need a new machine!
So, anyone noticed any damage? 
oh there's a patch now :O

*Knows he should be being useful*
That took three hours and shutting down the store? REALLY? Maybe they did put in science, but because the store's not up yet, nobody's noticed?
Too bad they didn't kill THE Hami...
Could we please get old hami back, pretty please?

From what I recall is that people found a not hidden, pretty obvious and gigantic bug where you couldnt "complete" a mission if you were in SG mode and some of your sg members were in the COP trial. Clicking the contact however gave you the rewards for completion over and over and over. To call it an exploit is wrong, it was fundamentally broken to the highest degree and the devs couldnt fix it or couldnt be bothered to fix it. You correctly point out that the devs dont like to mention the debacle but they did say that to get it working they would need to remake it from scratch so the chances of seeing it in game are nil to nil imo.
Implying that people were "exploiting" it is suggesting that player actions forced the removal of said content from the game.
**Acceptable "support" responses**
Its your fault
Its your computers fault
Its your ISPs fault

It's more that...well, sorry to say this.. Noone cares!
"Architect Entertainment regrets to inform you that your critter was invalid and melted into goop. Please edit your custom character to revive him."
Bahahahahahaha. Good going NCsoft.
Players did exploit it though as they could get to level 50 by talking to the contact over and over.

Whee. I knew not to trust my useless gambling skills.
I'll spend that 5 mill on.
Hmmm, apparently the reported bugs on the Test Server with the characters, auras etc not working in the Character Editor is now on live.
Bravo!
