Zwill...you have no idea how many people really think the world of you, myself included. Thank you for all you have done, and what you are doing now. This game has been a wonderful part of my life for eight years...it's like watching a friend die and not being able to do anything about it. I wish you all the best in whatever the future has in store for you.

So he's banned again then. :0

So ... just the moderators are here, but the development team was fired?
Or, am I reading that "we're still here" as in, the community organizing efforts under way might actually work?

Zwillinger has taken it upon himself to keep the forums clean regardless of whether or not its his job.

Rock, rock on Hamster.
Zwill, if you read this, just for continuity's sake, and just to let any of your own aggressions out, I totally think a justifiable way to end this forum's existence would be to ban me.

Then unban Friggin' Taser. Send him an email telling him he's unbanned and that he should come post one more time to say goodbye.|

Then ban him again as soon as he posts.

Zwill, I think what you and the others are doing (staying at your post after the post itself has deserted you) is a testament to your character and professionalism. I hope that somewhere out there is a perspective employer saying, "Dang, these are the kind of people I need moderating MY forums!"

Or he could just induct himself because he's a moderator.  I wonder if anyone here remembers when CuppaJo gave me the forum cartel title. People started asking about it as soon as they saw it, and I denied everything. People really tried hard to convince me my title said forum cartel, too. I'm surprised no one sent me a screenshot. |

I just want to say thanks for being a really great community manager; I enjoyed meeting you when I was up in Mountain View; send me an email so we can keep in touch; and holy crap clean the inside of your car. I told Black Pebble I felt privileged to share it with your top one hundred favorite gum wrappers and mountain dew bottles.|

On a personal note, I've got a lot to work on right now, so please help me out here in any ways that you can. I empathize with the feelings some of you are going through right now. I understand it. Help us all go out on a happy note |
It has been all kinds of fun. And I mean that literally: some of the kinds of fun can't be easily described in English.

Wait, Taser, Hamster and TA in one thread? And it's still here??
These really are the end times.

The Forum Cartel chat channel still exists in-game, though it's mostly me and Pep Cat in there these days.
Thought for the day:
"Hope is the first step on the road to disappointment."

Thank you very much for such a great game. All of you have done excellent work. This reminds me of my graphics artist sister experience with the agency she worked with. Everyone plugging along, then peeps started to get emails. Good luck to you all; I hope this expands your horizons.

Thanks to everyone that helped make me a welcomed part of the community, and for giving me over 3 years of some of the best gaming I've been able to take part in. May the next game bring many friendships and maybe reconnect to some old CoH friends.
