Everyone knows he dissapeared for months. Even me, and I came back only three weeks ago. He's done nothing for the site... Just trying to butter us up. None of us care at all. We can move on. He, however... Heh... We'll just boycott.

Well, I sure hope that R_E continues what he always did best. He'll be missed otherwise.

You guys can say what you want, but the truth known is R_E fed you guys a bunch of crap and you all ate it up. You can beleive what you want, but this is from a guy who quit twice in 4 months. R_E is quite replaceable, as I will prove. And yes, R_E was one of the "upper" admins before quitting the first time, and was demoted after the first temper tantrum.
I had thought of staying there until the last bitter end... but this is the last straw... I guess i'll be moving over here...

I suggest everyone spam the comment section with the link to these forums. The guy keeps deleting any comment that he doesn't like: everything that he didn't write.
edit: cool, glad to see someone else is willing to spread the word about this forum

Well, they took off their response message from the front page.
Seems they dont even want it up because of the comments.
In case they get enough unlazyness to delete RE's post..

Happy 2005... and Goodbye
Author rancored_elf
Happy New Year! And a goodbye from your MTGnews forums staff:
(super small so it doesnt take up a whole lot of room in here)
This message will be erased when it is noticed by "Raa" or "Subterranean_Spirit", the current owners of this site, as they have done with important unauthorized reports in the past. But for those of you who see it:
Most of the staff of this site has just resigned as of midnight EST. This includes:
Jeff_Vondruska (administrator)
rancored_elf (administrator)
Cateran (administrator)
most moderators and global moderators
I think most of you know why this happened. Many promises were made to us, and to you as users of this site, and they were not delivered. We are tired of apologizing and making excuses fo the owners who have done nothing to help this site. It went from the best site and forums (for several years straight) to a complete disaster. It is now not much more than an advertising vehicle of Shuffle and Cut.com and Findmagiccards.com.
We apologize to anyone this hurts - and we know that is a lot of people. But we feel that we are only continuing a grave disservice to the Magic community by allowing this to continue. We have all been lied to, manipulated, and tricked since February last year when Raa bought this site from DG. It's finally over.
As for rumors, I will not be continuing to provide this site with information I receive from my sources. I want to personally thank all the sources I've spoken with in the past - from the guy who gave me the complete Legions spoiler two months early to "a source we can trust" to the many people who provided me with just one little tidbit and then disappeared forever. I think WotC is breathing a sigh of relief and throwing a party... while a lot of people are more than a little upset about this. Please understand I do this not to harm you, but to make a statement to the owners who have destroyed MTGnews as it was. I love news and rumors as much as you do! I hope to see the spoilers up, somewhere on the internet, in plenty of time for the prereleases! Contact me on AIM sometime and maybe I'll have a new card or two to talk about! But you won't be seeing me post them in the Rumor Mill here.
I want to say a personal thank you to everyone I have met in my time here. I don't really believe in "internet friends" for the most part, but I can't help but think back very fondly on several hundred people or so that I've come to know. The staff, my clan, and all the members I've posted alongside. There have been some amazing times and I wish I could name all the people I've gotten to know, but that would lead to some names being missed, so I'll leave it at that. I hope we can keep in touch. Add me to your AIM (rancoredelf) or drop me an email (drutter AT hotmail DOT com). I can't speak for Jeff, Cateran, or the others, but I'm sure most of them would be glad to speak with you all as well.
Best of luck in 2005. Best wishes to you all.
rancored_elf, on behalf of the MTGnews administration and moderators.
It is just discusting. If they had actually taken time in selecting mods and stuff, I might have gone back. If they had admitted they had wronged R_E and the others, and us, I might have gone back. But Now, they have killed MTGnews.com.
Lets try to get them to come here This place is pretty good. Can anyone tell me if there is a way to change the color of the site...i'm not used to the dark
TNK: As for your feud with R_E, in light of what he has done for the community as a whole, do you not think that you could put your differences aside?
Erm... If you're refering to this

Talk about a slap in the face to R_E
I think TNK is refering to this

As a slap to R_E?
Or TNK has a feud with R_E? I thought TNK was supportive of R_E?
Am i answering or asking more questions?

I got the quote from the whatever Spirit.. i think he is one of the owners of the site... and he deleted that msg.
He deleted that msg after getting flamed for that.
That said, I'm assuming this is also written by him
01/JAN/2005 06:49.18 So when we have all of Betrayers... Report
So....when we get the whole Betrayers spoiler without R_E, what will you say then. R_E built himself up to their god-like position around here. He could only do it by getting a bunch of worshipers. Well, guess what. This false god has fallen, and I will prove that we can perform all the "miracles" he performs quite fine without him.
Disappointed Guy

If R_E is full of crap, I guess mtgnews won't be the #1 source of MtG information... Let's just see how "replaceable" R_E is.

Subterrean_Spirit said R_E was feeding u crap. Kuberr, as far as I can tell, thinks it total BS and an insult to R_E, Jeff V, their mods, and everything they did. Now News will die. And it is very sad.
Greetings from Misetings! I know that we've... not been good friends, the two forums. But I come saying that I'm here to help, and I'm not alone.
Here's the plan: everyone with one or more non-banned News accounts applies for admin. Everyone. If someone gets it, CAUSE HAVOC. Ban the owners. Unban everyone else. Spam. Make things not work. Make the forum buggy and impossible to deal with. Whatever you want.
Some friends from MT are coming to help.
Now... who's with me?

Now, that wasn't exactly what I was thinking of.
However, I would like to extend an olive branch from MT-the loss affects us all, and we'd like to help you get back on your feet.

What is this guy trying to pull anyway? :disgust4:
My helpdesk should you need me.
Well, I sure hope that R_E continues what he always did best. He'll be missed otherwise.
oh and..
I bet they're simply taking the time to remove all of the copies of RE's message, etc.
Hmm.. I'll miss MTGNews

News was barely staying even, and lately going in the hole, and he gets rid of the main source of interest and hence, revenue, on the site!!!!
He is also trying to keep thr truth from people that News is screwed w/out R_E.

Does anyone have a copy of R_E's message? I was foolish and did not save one. It would be useful to post in the rumor mill from time to time
EDIT: Where did you get that quote Edelmdor?
hmm, you can check the "News" section on the site for it, the moron still hasn't remove the posting from the site
