Quite. This crazy conspiracy theory suffers from the flaw they all have - that large groups of people can keep a secret - perfectly - for years on end without leaking even a hint of it. Does anyone here (aside from Baja), really think this community could keep that secret for even 5 whole minutes?
I think you're all being a bit jerky to Baja, myself. He's just saying what he THINKS is the case, just as you are. You have zero proof that there AREN'T private servers somewhere, and he has zero proof that there are.
Ranting about crazy conspiracy theories is just rude. He wasn't offending you, but you immediately went on the offensive with him, ironically making the case for an earlier part of his post.
Is it likely that if multiple private servers were running SOMEONE would have said something? Yes.
Is it possible that private servers are running and people are just being very careful who they invite because this game is so dear to us all that we wouldn't risk it ever getting taken away again? Also yes.
Is it reasonable to assume that because many, many games have been reverse engineered into private servers after shutdown that CoH may very well have been too?
Yes.
Does CoH have some aspects to its design that make it reasonable to assume that this HASN'T happened? Yes.
Polite disagreement is usually much more preferable than name calling and insults.
