Thank you!

One saved, one to go. We're halfway there!

[Golden Girl]

That's great news - although HitStreak should probably clear up some of the mroe recent threads :P

[voodoogirl]

Can old ckosed beta forums be saved?

[Solaris]

Great work! I'm not even sure why this makes me so happy... but I'm rolling with it =9

[Rae]

Because it feels like someone was on our side, without us having to ask them? :)

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!
