Hmm for whatever reason I couldnt find the original FB post a second time.  I went to my long neglected FB acc't (2 years inactive? I hate FB) to reply to the OP on FB.  While it's nice to know I have permission to quote the CCCP (would that include simply posting this link?  http://www.cccpgroup.us/story.php?ID=1259  ) and while I loved reading NCSoft Drops the Ball, it didn't express in tone what I wanted to convey nor my perspective, as a consumer writing a company to either continue/restore a discontinued product or else sell it to another who would.   (This worked by the way when Fit was taken off the market - not enough consumer demand they said.  Whoops!  and here is back:  http://www.fitwash.com/ )

Is NCSoft simply deleting all comments, including their PR reply?  CoH is like a "family member"?  Gimme a break!  Since when does one "sunset" a family member, when that family member is still vital and all reasonable if not extraordinary measures have been taken? (Sorry, you guys already made that point but I needed to rant a little.)

If I had used the CCCP article I would have expanded the title to read NCSoft Drops the Ball and Its About to Shatter (unless appropriate action is taken swiftly.)

The three CCCP articles are only the beginning.  I've been a bit derailed by an international trip but there are more to come.

Canada is not the 52nd state in the US. :p

While we kid about Canada I have a joke. An elderly couple lived in Canada near the North Dakotan border, so close in fact that they weren't sure if they were technically in Canada or North Dakota. One day they finally declared that their home was indeed in North Dakota. The old woman says 'Thank god! I couldn't take another Canadian winter!"

Not nearly as funny if you haven't experienced a Canadian or North Dakotan winter, but it makes me chuckle :D

You guys get all that cold wind blowing through from West to East.

We used to get all the snow that wind dropped on us after it blew over Superior when I was in college.  Diving into a fresh drift of powder is fun!  (More fun if you're bolting out of the sauna door to dive in and run back in.)

No, because when it gets that cold I refuse to go outside, like every other sane and rational human being. (And it DOES get that cold here.)

See - that's why Canadians needed City of Heroes even more than Americans did! It's something to do and social connectivity in the long dark winters under the blankets of snow!  :D

Not really. If you take a look at certain indicators of demographics, there's something else that fills the time....

The same holds true for power outages. Which are common in snowstorms.

City of Heroes on the other hand, doesn't deal well with downed lines, as I learned all too well last week.  :P

yes, sadly, Red Green was snowed in for so long that he started experimenting with the case of duct tape he had.  He found so many uses for it that he just had to make his own TV show and tell everyone about it.

And Tim, everyone knows that we sing about Back Bacon and Beer in the Great White North (ko ko ko kooo ko ko ko).  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xqzZ1UkypqU
