No, no, no, no, no.

Turn the forums OFF immediately after sending the email that he's unbanned, so that he can't post.

Why bother with the moderation at all if it's technically not your problem any more? Just play the fiddle and if the forums burn, they burn. For the most part, I don't think they would.

Because the game is being sunsetted, it's not closed yet. People posting porn vids (and they have since The Announcement) can get the company in trouble if they don't act on it.

Also, the game could possibly be sold with no interruption in service. Letting the online community become a post-apocalyptic Internet cage match would not be in the best interest of CoH remaining viable.

There's no such thing as "going out on a happy note".

"Going out" and "happy" are mutually exclusive.

Sorry guys, I know this will disappoint many people, but I'm trying to make this as sustainable as possible.
Shame. I just wanted to say goodbye to Justice *on* Justice. I paid for eight solid years, let my sub lapse for about a month, and then this happened. Awesome timing.

Any chance of opening the Invention System and Auction House for everyone? I am afraid I will lose my build when my VIP runs out.

I'm not sure that VIP is going to run out. I checked my account management page to see what the status of my prepaid plan was, and all it says is "VIP". No "VIP until", no "Playable until", just "VIP". All the other info is gone.

I think they may have just shut off the billing system entirely and frozen all the accounts in their current state.

If Forum Coven had caught on it would have been that. And yeah, I remember.

The only one I knew of was Forum Cartel. I think it was a moment of sublime beauty when another poster actually said a few years later that the title was proof that the Forum Cartel was real.

The Forum Cartel SG on Pinnacle still exists, although only two logins in the past 1300 days or so.

I lost all my chat channels earlier this year and while trying to reassemble my list, I forgot to rejoin (or couldn't get an invite, I don't remember) the Forum Cartel channel.

Never EVER had I thought I would be so heart broken over a GAME! I need to step away from these forums because I cannot stop crying but I also cannot stop reading in the hope I read a miracle.

I want to rant, yell, scream and curse but I will not....at least not here. I have to keep in mind I am mourning a game I have loved playing for 8 years. Others, like Zwill and Posi, are mourning the sudden loss of a job. Even though I want to hop a plane and beat some sense into someone, I find myself wanting to help Zwill, Posi and so many others, ease their pain at their sudden loss.

CoH is more than a game - that's why we're fighting so hard to save it.

I still hope we win. Lovin' you Zwillinger, I've been trashed on a peak by unrelated fiscal games before, standing tall puts you above it all. And you can feel fantastic about it years later, when karma kicks in

I don't care how Zwill goes about banning me as long as he takes a screenshot just as he's about to click the button to do so and emails it to me.

Part of me wants to go on a crazy Internet Vendetta, track down every person on my Ignore list whose reason for being there I can still remember, and give them a hot dose of Screaming Incoherent Forum Freakout. There are a lot of them, and it would be pretty cathartic. But you guys have always been classy, even when I have often been a butthead, so I'm trying to keep it under control. Thanks for being a righteous dude, Zwill.
