Why hello there. Meet the standard newbie. Nice to see you around here, we could use some information OTHER than the death of MTGnews to make this place more interesting ^_^()
Now that that's out of the way, I was never really active on mtgnews, but that's gonna change here. Big time. Welcome from a long time lurker, now a full member!

Indeed, you are most welcome. I never got to know you on MTGNews, but I always respected you. (I might have been a bit enamored of you at first, merely out of that childish awe thing that happens when you first get to a big place. And, let's face it, 'News is, or was, a big place.)
I'm not gonna bug you for new rumors, 'cause that'd just be rude and probably the last thing you want to be faced with. So, as a 'News lurker from the ancient days of DG, I'll just say welcome and hey. Whether you stick around here, supply rumors or whatever the future holds, good luck!
Welcome R_E. Glad to see you here. I sinerely hope you will stick around, but I think we would all undertsand if you chose not too. This past year had to have been tough. We all appreciate the hard work you've done, and sacrifices you have made for this community. What you and the other staff members did was sad, but neccesary. No matter if you choose to stay or not, I wish you good fortune in the future.
And from all us fomr 'Newsers: Thank You!

"There is no royal road to science, and only those who do not dread the fatiguing climb
of its steep paths have a chance of gaining its luminous summits"
-Karl Heinrich Marx Cube
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.
I have a confession. I may be here just for three reasons, none of which you're probably excited about.
1) To piss off Raa and Scott and draw away a few more hundred loyal MTGnews members.
2) Somewhere to get the truth out about what happened, because my MTGnews account is locked, and all relevant threads and posts have been removed.
3) So I have somewhere I can point people when they ask me where I'm at right now.
It won't be a long term thing. Hopefully this site, or another like it, or a combination, will emerge with a large portion of our proud community and shake off the old shackles and start fresh. All we really need is ourselves.
I won't likely be able to get any information for a while, if any. Many of my contacts were either MTGnews loyal, or only trusted me there because they knew me there. That said, if I do get info, I will likely share it. Just please don't keep asking me for it. I have a few cards, but they're in my PM inbox at MTGnews, which is locked, and thus I can't share them. I may remember one of them though, let me think.

I glanced over this info (from a trusted source) once, and while I do have a partial photographic memory, don't sue me if there's a bit of a mistake in the wording. And avoid carrying it over to MTGnews please. If they're not letting me post there, I'd rather they not get the info first.
Some of my sources know me from email (drutter(at)hotmail.com) and they may contact me, I don't know. Some know me on AIM and we'll see what happens in the next few days.
Also, Daron, don't worry about if you can't get rumors - what little you can remember or get is fine - some of the sources will be loyal to -you-, not MTGNews.

I have to agree with Max on that, R_E. Most people are more loyal to you than the site you worked for. The reason being that trust with some website is a lot more vague than trust with a person. I know I trust what you post because it's almost always true. The trust is much more important than the URL at the top of my browser.
If I didn't want to taint the Rumor Mill 2 I'd suggest posting fake cards in there supposedly "confirmed" by an anonymous source since someone would probably go post them on 'News
Also, I can't possibly imagine very many people would be loyal to 'news after this fiasco. Hopefully we can get established soon and work on getting our reputation back!
