They might still be working out how to make them work on the new forums.

The new forums really screwed up our formatting and whatnot. I think we're just about set with our new format and hosting, but I'll leave one of the EiCs to elaborate.



...I forgot what experience means.

Well, I'm one of the aforementioned Editors-in-Chief, so I'll pick up the ball on this one.

If you remember what the Scoop used to look like... well, here's a link to the LAST Scoop (on the 21st of July) - you'll notice that what it's supposed to look like and what it does look like doesn't precisely match anymore.

Unfortunately, we're having difficulties fixing the layout issues, and we can't get it to look any better than that. We've got an entire issue proofed and ready to go, but the new forums are defeating us every time we turn around.

HOWEVER! The City Scoop is not dead! We're working on solutions! As soon as we have something in place, we'll be back, and let everyone know where our next issue is!

Anyone who has an interest in assisting the Scoop in any way is welcome to PM me.

I'll echo what Cende and Spacenut have said. I'll add that this is happening during my final school term's midterms (performance reviews, bleh).

Why not just have them be Jpegs or something?

Or instead of displayed on the forums, maybe on an html page? A new website titled www.thecityscoop.com or something... or maybe CoH will host it themselves?

(and thecityscoop.com is owned by a parking company that doesn't want to give it up. Nasty critters.)
For what it's worth, I still have the pcfreepress.com domain that's been dormant for years now. The original intention was to create a reporter-themed supergroup with stories to support the site and bolster interest in the group. I wrote several stories (some of which I thought were quite good ), but it just got to be too much work and didn't draw as much interest as I had hoped.

The name "Paragon City Free Press" actually has some serendipitous history to it. In the first City of Heroes novel Web of Arachnos, Monica Richter (aka Maiden Justice, Statesman's wife, Ms. Liberty's grandmother, Lord Recluse's sister) was a reporter for a newspaper called the Paragon City Free Press. (For the record, though, I registered the domain well before the novel was published, I didn't steal the name.)

If using the new forums is just not practical for whatever reason and you want to use that domain name and install some CMS software (e.g. Joomla!, PostNuke, etc.) or roll out your own software, let me know. You can even have the logo if you want it. The only thing I'd ask is that if you ever decide to move off of the domain, transfer it back to me. With its history, I don't want it to end up a porn site or ad parked site.


We've been saving Paragon City for eight and a half years. It's time to do it one more time.
(If you love this game as much as I do, please read that post.)

Kudos, Tony. If you didn't offer it, I was going to suggest something like it.
