Peter Long handed this rein down to Mr. Kevin and Pete Malloy. Pete made a twenty minute long video on Virus as he came back that weekend and he was a very old time player. Pete always talked about doing more with it but was very limited to it because he had no access to the applications or communication with the man himself Poseidon. He put out his video hoping for a positive response but due to its length a lot of people veered away from it and left a sort of lack luster one. Kevin the guy with the power, (no hurt feelings) did nothing at all to better the team. He actually had control over the applications but yet didn't do anything about it (ie. hosting meetings) The Community/ News has been here and there ever since Jorbis was around and he really set the whole kit and kaboodle up and did a great job with it. Peter gave it a shot but it was too much work for him as he had other projects in the works which is understandable as he was working towards admin and was a deputy chief I believe at the time. I believe the slots are still on the server but the only way to get whitelisted is through poseidon and him only. There was nothing special to news team however, we got news vests and some nifty laser designators. The only good thing about news team is you couldn't be robbed and it made everything a simpler time. I myself just abused it to use the hatchback skin but now that is gone aswell. I know Talindor made a COPS video a month or two back and I bet he would love to help as he's a mod now and could really help out. He has been on the server for a long time and knows his ways around things. He may be your best option to get a friendly face to back your operation. Good luck!
