That's the idea - the more people who register and recommend this story as something CNN should take futher, the better the chance we'll have of getting more attention for it.

Yes. CNN is, if I am not mistaken, the largest and most powerful news network in the world. Publicity can only help us.

OH wow this is actually pretty worrying...if CNN takes the spin against us.
(I'm imagingin what terrible news stations it could end up on besides CNN though, like a super anti-video game one. Imagine how bad that would be (or mabe good because it'd still get attention and a buncha people fighting them)) anyway I am being tangential.
Yes, emphasis on registering and pushing this into terrycloth where CNN will actually talk about it! When I first saw this I thought it was out and in their main publications thoroughly and surely but there's a process so don't forget!!

Yeah, you have to worry about how CNN would spin the story if they were to run it. My concern would be them giving out the wrong details (which happens a lot) or reporting it in a way that, rather than making us out to be dedicated fans, they make us out to be a bunch of 35 year old virgins nerdraging in Mom's basement.

There's a reason why we're trying to co-ordinate everything through one site, why we're planning a press release tomorrow, and why we're urging people to keep a lid on the "NCSoft iz teh suxorz!!11" stuff.

Over the last 8 years, City of Heroes has grown well beyond its roots as another MMO- albeit one of the few superheroic themed ones. It has become a community; a network of people engaging in friendships that extend well beyond the computer screen, and into the real world. It is as viable a community as any neighborhood or family or social group that might exist outside our own door. Indeed, in this increasingly technology driven world, often personified by faceless, non-personal interaction, City of Heroes might be among the first of a more sustainable hybrid community- a strange admixture of the virtual and the tangible. As Shakespeare said, "All the world's a stage, and all the men and women merely players." In City of Heroes, all the players are also men and women like everyone else.

Also.... ANYBODY BUT CNN

It's not reported on by a CNN reporter, but if we get enough likes/recommends, etc. It could POTENTIALLY get looked at by producers.
Edit because my brain is all over the place with all this sharing and information hunting: This puts the Community's activism into the light, in a positive manner. This is exactly what we want.
