My recommendation for anyone that has access to their News account is to immediately log in, delete all your PMs (save copies of anything important), take any valuable information you've posted on News in the past (cards you've created, primers you've written, clan lists, games and characters you've had, and so on) and save it to a TXT file on your harddrive, or post it in the respective forums here.
For example, before I left on December 31st, I deleted all my PMs in case something like this happened. It seemed silly at the time (I didn't even think S_S would ban me... I just thought I'd fade away from News) but I'm glad I did it. I also made a copy of all 450 cards I've created in the NCSI forum (I'll be posting them ALL here soon! ). I also snagged a bunch of other useful posts that I'd made in the years I was there, and saved them to my harddrive, or posted them here (the two stickies in the Rumor Mill forum, for example).
Lastly, remove any personal information in your profile, change your sig to say "MTG SALVATION" (:evil2:), and change your password.
Do this as soon as you can, as it looks like things are getting desperate and near the end at News. :\'(
Good idea.
EDIT: Added back in the smiles you didn't copy/paste. I like the smilies here.
And I agree with the whole thing, save for the sig, since spinning devil isn't over there, and I don't know if you'd want to get banned (I think salvation is censored again)

I have no extendo-sig. Sorry, I'm just not vain enough to think someone will click on it.
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.
It was posted somewhere in the MTGNews section. I thought I could do my part, and make it more veiwable, and easier to locate. I would post this on news, but I don't want to start a forum war.
Makes sense, although I have nothing to delete.:) Too bad R_E cant post this at news, although that might be a bit too agressive. Probably would break Rule #1 anyway, so it would be deleted.
*Sigh* I've been thinking all i can, but I can't come up with anything. I've talked to Raa(OMGWTF?!), but I have yet to convince him to fire the hell out of Scott.
I'm not done with News yet though.

Well, seems like spoiler chains(And with them my old sig) have been broken by The Man.
The Man is a Jackass and apparently he is also a Communist.

Sad to hear, but not a surprise. I need to get over there (MTG News) and check in...
Personally, I'll hold out. I don't have anything of importance (I'm not exactly an important person! ;)), so I'm not too worried about losing anything. And it does no harm for me to wait and see what happens...
Well, I'm not going to do any of these things, but I might be leaving News except for community issues, as thats the only place I've posted in the past couple days.

Well, I really don't have much of importance over there at 'News, but I might go through my history and try to dig up some of my favorite OM posts and save them (I was really proud of some of them)... My PMs that I have saved are really nothing special...
Good idea.

I might do it, later.

Yeah, we definitely need to create a log of all the important stuff in case the forum permanently goes down. Don't want this to be another Dojo.
Although, I still think the rest of the stuff is a tad bit extreme.
