See? /stuck totally works!!!!
There will now be a medium-sized intermission.
Thought for the day:
"Hope is the first step on the road to disappointment."

Just out of curiosity, how is this any better?
Seriously. You complain incessantly about the troll yet don't have the personal accountability to not feed him. To the contrary, you do everything in your power to keep egging him on by replying to him, often two or three times in minutes, and then create a thread guaranteed to give him another thread to respond to when he creates another account.

But JKedan is right. This thread doesn't need to exist.

If the answer what I asked in my first post was "no", we'd already know the answer.

That was a peaceful hour.
Now back to our normally scheduled bickering.
Heh.. it's threads like this which kinda prove he's right.
Still, just 10 days to go.

I just hate seeing anyone get picked apart by a mob.

What's fascinating about it is... isn't the game supposed to be closed to new accounts?

One would think. Maybe he had two or three from back when character slots were limited.

Oh well. Either way, I think I found out what I needed to know. Purpose of thread ended, if it had one to begin with.|

Mods if you're there, lock, or remove. Whichever.
To be fair, most people do. Unfortunately sometimes it's hard to recognise when you're part of a mob and then when it's suggested you might be you act all surprised and go on the defensive.
I personally don't like what a lot of those who fly the SaveCOH banner have become and I don't think they're particularly trustworthy custodians of what the CoH community were supposed to represent. When the SaveCOH movement started it was a way of uniting the understandably disappointed playerbase and to give them a single voice. Unfortunately, as each turn left them with another further disappointment, the tactics employed to try and effect a change of heart just got dirtier and, frankly, more desperate.
I don't know whether the people that are co-ordinating the efforts to save the game officially condone this kind of behaviour, but frankly, I don't think it does them, or us any favours at all.
Whether you agree with AFs posts or not, one thing in that thread became abundantly clear very quickly. There was only one side avoiding the questions and slinging insults, and it certainly wasn't him.
For those of us who don't form part of the highly prolific minority on these boards we see and have seen over the course of the last few years. I think it rather fitting that it should be highlighted in the closing weeks of the game.

This whole thing has given me a great idea.
Instead of the server shutting down on the 30th, what if they just ban ALL OF US on the 30th, instead? That could be much more fun. And that way, the servers stay on, we just can't log onto them....and our characters live to see another day. We take the ban bullet for our characters.
*wait a minute....what if that's ACTUALLY what's happening, and they're just not telling us.....*

After the way things calmed down in the infamous "hope of haven't given up" thread, I began to notice that a lot of the more heated bickering between Titan folks and those who disagree with Titan, were being blown way out of proportion by a very tiny minority. It's sort of like what happens when someone judges a nation by what a terrorist group (that is not endorsed by the government) does on its own.|

Also, damn, I missed all the juicy responses to that thread. :|
Doom.
Yep.
This is really doom.
Man, I go two days without reading the official forums, and look what happens...
We've been saving Paragon City for eight and a half years. It's time to do it one more time.
(If you love this game as much as I do, please read that post.)
