I guess I'll start an account here, in case things don't turn out well with 'news. Though really, I'm sure they'll be fine. Obviously the Rumor Mill will basically be non-existent, but, as long as people continue to post in T2 and OM, I'll continue to feel at home there.
It's cool that someone created this, for those people who have run out of confidence in 'news and feel the need to go elsewhere. It's hard for me to post here, though..mostly because of the color scheme, it's almost impossible for me to differentiate between the background and the textbox, and nevermind trying to read those atrocious yellow letters.
Anyway. Hello. My condolences to everyone who feels like 'news can no longer be their home, hopefully you'll find things to be better here.

Sing lustily and with good courage.
Be aware of singing as if you were half dead,
or half asleep:
but lift your voice with strength.
Be no more afraid of your voice now,
nor more ashamed of its being heard,
than when you sang the songs of Satan.
welcome please go over to the dbg and say ya or na. I'm disapointed with the way its turned out on mtg ive tried my best, like the what people want thread, promoting articles etc but its all just fell down :(.
Qwerty
I'm not really sure how much I'll post here, to be honest. To speak frankly, I'm very skeptical of Numenn's capabilities as an Admin, and it seems like basically anyone can be a Moderator. It takes a very strong staff to make any sort of online forums be successful, and I don't see that strength, at all, in the to-date Staff here. I don't want to invest alot of time and energy into another site that will just end up perishing because of bad management.
As despicable as this seems, I probably won't post here until mtgnews inevitably shuts down. Senori is right, afterall, eventually it won't turn enough ad revenue to remain around. I'll probably just stop posting altogether at that point, really. It's nothing personal against anyone, I'm just loyal to news. I'm not loyal to R_e, or Jeff, or anything like that, I'm loyal to news as a whole, and I guess I'll mostly be active there until news as a whole doesn't exist anymore. Who knows what I'll do after that. I don't know if anywhere can replicate the way I feel about news.

I admittedly do not share the same optimistic outlook as you for the news... I mean, I wish it could be better, really I do... but I felt it necessary to come here 'cause I don't like the threat of martial law, and I don't like the silent removal of half the posts I saw go away... many of which didn't have anything out of the mod lounge at all.
I hope the news works out, but I severely doubt it will.
The Fool is here, under new name... good to at least have you around.

It's good to have some place to post, since I don't have much hope for mtgnews any more.
But it's also quite sad, because I've been a member for almost four years.
Welcome.
These are the decks that I have constructed, and are ready to play:
01. Ankh Sligh to be exact.

I also understand that TNK was talking about allowing all the News mods that have left similar staff positions over here.
I'm afraid Raa has made several large mistakes...
Dissing R_E, who is easily the best-known and most well-liked News member
Thinking Rumors will be as populous without R_E...
Anyways, we're glad to see more Newsers hopping on board and especially another Strategy person.

When you cross my mind you'd best look both ways.
But still, welcome to Salvation. Enjoy your stay and have fun.
I suppose we'll just have to see how good the mod team is Give us time....
