Jason Scott (@textfiles) has confirmed he has archived the official COH forums.
Please throw him a huge thank you on Twitter, or via www.textfiles.com
That is excellent news.
Jason Scott, thank you. :)
Wait, does that include forum games and PVP forums and all those "healer" threads?......Noooooo
heh..I kid, I kid ;D
Thank you!
Wonderful news. Thank you so much, Jason.
One saved, one to go. We're halfway there!
...sorta. ;D
That's great news - although HitStreak should probably clear up some of the mroe recent threads :P
Can old ckosed beta forums be saved?
Great work! I'm not even sure why this makes me so happy... but I'm rolling with it =9
Because it feels like someone was on our side, without us having to ask them? :)
Here's a link to the archive:

Woot! :D
Come to think of it, the archiving of the forums could be a huge boon, both for primary efforts and for Plan Z (Which some people aren't too keen on, for some reason...).
Think: We will have every word posted on the forums as of the archival, including every bit of feedback, every story idea, every suggestion for a powerset or feature, every impact CoH has made on people, an entire community on demand to show people and say "LOOK! Look at this! This wasn't a bunch of butthurting neckbeards, it was a vibrant, varied community! It wasn't just a conglomerate of min/maxing basement dwellers, but people like you and me, interesting people! Some of the nicest people you could ever game with!"
It's like capturing a lifetime in a bottle!
