Not entirely sure, but I don't think I'd be interested. The thread's taken on too much grit and noir for my tastes and seems much more suited to the unshaven, chain-smoking detective than renegade supers with their own motivations now.

Personally I loved the setting so if a new thread was started I'd be there. However, I didn't much like the direction it took towards the end, with the more gritty cop show feel to it rather than something superheroes would and should be involved with. And yeah I know there's heroes by some definitions that do stuff like that, it's not all go out and blast things etc. But still. IMO we should have a mix of the two, rather than trying to force the CoH universe to do something it really doesn't do all that well.
I like the idea of it being the sort of community service for superheroes, rather than trying to make heroes into 'proper' police officers. There's a reason the game canon only has one of those. 
Excluding the superpowered PPD divisions at least.
Actually that'd be a decent idea.... having some of those superpowered cops take the place of more traditional cops that were running things at the end there. Kinda makes sense given the original purpose of the thread. But that's up to you if you start it, I'd probably join in regardless.

It does sound very intriguing, and I really liked the 2-6 thread too but I think I'll pass at the moment. Perhaps maybe later I'll join. If I do, I think I'll do it with a different set of character(s) than the telepolice squad. Only because I have alt-itis and am always dreaming up characters. I hope we'll see more of Doc Onnoroc though!|

I'll miss you all.
I'm thinking that, with the new direction the Two Six could be going, the attitude and focus of the super powered and the police would be changed. I'm not sure that Kasoh was looking to continue the trend of what had been following in the previous seasons.
It does sound interesting. Not sure who I'd write in but if you (Kasoh) eventually post up an intro (given that you have enough proposed support to go through with it), I'm sure folks will flock to it as most have to a lot of the RP's.
You'll at least get the respect of a read through. I dont think there have been too many titles that folks have passed simply based on the "cover".
I really enjoyed the Two-Six RP, for all its shortcomings, including the curse that seems to eat its GMs.
However, neither arc in the thread really got resolved and I have had a plot idea I've wanted to run in the Heroes and Police unit style since I joined the thread, so I grumbled up the witherwall to ask:
If I started a new Two-Six thread, with new plot, would anyone be interested in joining?
For those who don't know, this is the history of the Two-six:
The police system chose to reactivate the station, but rather than sending in their own people, they arranged for super heroes in trouble with the law to re-open the station.
After an ugly scene involving some heroes, demonic possession, and a few excessive deaths, there had been a loud and public effort to establish PPD control over the Two-Six and its Vigilante Rehabilitation Program, but the furor for the program got drowned out after a large terrorist attack at Ziggursky Prison. The funds originally promised to the VRP got shunted to Anti-terror and prison programs. Only a few experimental dollars are left in the budget which is devoted to the Telepolice experiment.
Currently, the Two-Six is an undermanned Police station supplemented by Hero support from program volunteers. Getting volunteered requires political enemies, minor criminal charges, or an actual desire to do good alongside the stalwart officers of the PPD.
A kidnapping case reveals a deeper connection to more powerful factions and reveals a disturbing new trend in human trafficking.
