This page will from time to time have unconfirmed rumors posted to it. It will change SLOWLY, so don't bother looking in here too terribly often. As always these should be taken with a grain of salt, because rumors CAN'T be confirmed! Items about this specific site will have [NEWS] next to the date. Old inactive URLs will be retained for tracking reasons so if you hit something 404 compliant, that's the reason it's still here..
