We are also trying an effort at starting a Steam Group called Paragon HUB for all City of Heroes refugees.
We can't forget the SEGS project. They're probably our best chance at continuing CoH after it's gone.
There is also the CoH Alumni group on Facebook.
For the old Union Roleplayers there's this steam group http://steamcommunity.com/groups/UnionRoleplayers
There's also http://www.unionroleplayers.co.uk/bo...?mode=register
I'm sure many more boards will spring up over the coming weeks.
As the organiser of the Unofficial CoH UK Player Meet, I'd really like to continue doing them if people are interested. Although they'll be more a player reunion, so folks can stay in contact and meet up every once in a while. I'll find a way of posting about them somewhere!
Everyone from Paragon Studios will be more than welcome to turn up to one, if they're ever over in England at the time. (That includes the one 8-9th September 
)
Repeat Offenders Network will still carry on. If you want a place to talk about COH when the lights go out, we'll be around.

Zwill,
I know this is a long shot and a probably "hell no". But I figured I could at least ask.
Is there any possibility of getting a user-data sanitized backup of the vbulletin forum data? There's 8+ years of post history there, some of them QUITE landmark posts. Everything from Unique_Dragon's "Gone to the Americans" to Sister Flame, to...well. Lots of stuff.
Some of the things are noted in the ParagonWiki. But a static, read-only copy of the forums would be incredible.

As someone who branded Unleashed as "Westley's Ego Trip", it became a solid alternative to the 'official' forums when I was playing as a Freemie and could only post a few places here.
I don't venture outside the MMO forum, but it has plenty of good old timers to hang out with.
Skrunchie will miss you, Magic Clockwork Man.
It was good times, Zwill.
I'll miss you.

I've been a member of Unleashed since it began. We're a bunch of personalities that get along most of the time, but don't mind bumping heads either. Lots of user-generated content in the Laboratory, Geek Culture that ranges from MLP to Doctor Who, to Final Fantasy, MMO Discussion, and plenty of other forums that you have to be a registered member to see.
Come and check us out, and see if you'd like to stay a while!
Unleashed would like to extend our warmest welcome to anybody in need of a new forum home, or even just a place to visit. We're all united in our love for this game, which brought us together.
We have forum games, user content, drafts, and shoulders to cry on. Come and check us out.
So these forums will go dark? Damn, that's bad news. Is there any possibility of transferring the database to a user-hosted site if someone else will pay the hosting bills? Even just as a back-up?

For those looking for another place to waste your work day, you're welcome to check out Comics Haven. We started as a group of people who played COH and hung out here, but fled to our own forum when Lighthouse started locking things down here.
http://forums.comic-shaven.net
I don't care if you're a brony, preacher, republican, democrat, ******, circus clown, whatever, you're welcome to give us a shot.
Or not.
Another Facebook group is.
