Just got a chance to go through the site:

I actually couldn't bring myself to go through all the material simply because the story is so complete and accurate I was flooded once again with all the hurt and anger of the closure.  Think I'll have to approach it in small bites.   I am wowed by the scope and coherence of your coverage.  Marvelous job.

Hi all

I believe I fixed the display issues happening in IE8 and Firefox - all the panels are in the right spots again. Both seem to be working alright for now and I'll look into Chrome Frame, or something similar, tp help with the script handling in IE.

I also think I got the misspellings that have been caught so far and any case-sensitive link issues - good catches.

Also removed the 95-98% mention on the hope section, as it's kinda unsupported.

about all that was missing was the game's music.

I'll see about adding a music player. Would be cool to read our story with the game music as our theme.

I think there should be info in there about Phoenix and H&V. Project Phoenix in particular has had some fair share of media coverage for being a large scale fan-driven project.

I'll work this into the new current news section.

Thankyou.

This is why I stopped working on my site - your vision and clarity far surpassed mine.

Excellant site and it says everything we need it to.

Great website.  One quick thing: spelling on "We anxiously awaited a response."  The "N" is missing in "anxiously."

Thank you VyoletRose, that's a really nicely made site.
While i haven't exactly been going through the whole thing looking for problems or errors what i have looked at so far seems to be working fine in Firefox after i told noscript to allow the site's scripts.
Very professional looking and it really evokes CoH's themes and aesthetics.
So far so good. Onward and upward!

This is the first time I've been back to visit the site since the Firefox fixes, and it looks amazing. It tell the story, and points the way to possible solutions, all using City of Heroes to do it. Very good work. Thank you.

All I have to say is WOW!

Incredible website!  Very thorough with links to back up the information, and I love the comic book style!

Also, saw one of my screenshots on there. 8)

Noticed a couple typos that I do not think were mentioned yet:

Red Bar Title: "NCSoft seemed to be facing it's own Morality Mission"  should be its in this context.

Red Bar Title: "And then if finally came..." should be it.

Otherwise, damn good work!

Listen to the 'mustn'ts'. Listen to the 'don'ts'. Listen to the 'shouldn'ts', the 'impossibles', the 'won'ts'. Listen to the 'you'll never haves', then listen close to me... Anything can happen . Anything can be.

Thank you all! I'm very happy you guys are enjoying the site! It was a labor of love and was a pleasure to build.

I added the Freedom panel to the Legacy section with articles - but forgot about the recent misspellings. I'll make note to fix those this evening.

Fixed misspellings.

Thinking about another section to go below Hope - might call it "Action". It will about how viewers can do their own part in participating in our Calls to Action campaigns. Viewers will be able to view and download the flyers and banners we've made so far.

I've got to get the SaveCoH Twitter and Facebook links in the header. Then I've got to finalize some banner ad designs in order to better advertise this website. We need to get the gaming community buzzing about our game again. They need to be made aware - and help us.  Besides giving us established fans something that tells our story - I was hoping the site could create new fans who wish our game revived as well. Or at least give those who understand our plight a chance to voice their support.

Anyhoot, I'll try to get something together in the next week.

This is amazing! Thank you so much for creating it!

It's still hard for me to think about it all -- I miss the game so much.

For crying out loud warn people that the website is a 20MB download.  It's disconcerting that what looks to be a relatively empty page was fetching so much stuff.  If I didn't know better I would have guessed malicious software.

Well done but because how html works there isn't a guarantee that page one images load before the rest so you have to wait for the entire site to load to be sure.  I would have preferred the table of contents to take you to individual pages rather than the long wait to be sure the page was complete with a previous/next arrow on each page.
