Anyone finding themselves locked out of the main CoH forums this morning? I reported it on Twitter and a few others have also found they are locked out too.

Yes, and the last timestamp on the latest posts indicates that it happened around 5:00am Eastern.  We can see the forums; we just can't log in to them.

I am at work so I can't check but maybe it is time for people to start moving their belongings elsewhere... Hitstreak mentionned yesterday that the forums would not last after Nov 30 anyway...

The City of Heroes Forever forums are open and they are intended to be a replacement for the official ones and a gathering place for Paragon refugees... http://cohforever.org/

Then of course, there is the Titan Network  ;)

Yep, me too - just tried 3 times and all I kept getting was the "invalid name/password, you've used up 3 out of 5 attempts..." etc box.

Too early to start waving the conspiracy bat around - might just be some sort of database meltdown with the skeleton staffing there.

But nevertheless we should be prepared that someone has just yanked the plug without so much as a word to us. Wouldn't be the first time they've done something like that after all, right?

It's not the first time this has happened, so I think it's more likely something broken rather than done on purpose.

The big question is if anyone will bother to fix it.

Same. I came here, wondering if it was just me. I can't say I'm glad it's not, but... well, at least I know.

I've been having issues with the CoH forums myself for the past 6 months myself.  It seems like this has been an ongoing problem with the boards.

These sometimes happen when they do big upgrades or maintenances to the billing system.

I was curious why that was...

I even tried to log-in to my NCSoft account to check if that worked... it did, so it is just an issue with the forums I guess.  How would any of us let them know its a problem?

Ugh! The lag on those things...

I wouldn't use the word "replace," but there's no word for "take over for you and make everything better almost immediately," so we just say "replace."

Isn't Thursday a normal maintenance day for the game -- perhaps the login server is impacted as well.  I'm at work now, so I don't know.  I also was not able to login into the forums earlier this morning though and I just chalked it up to that.

Can still get into the game, but the forum is still saying that my info is invalid.
