I guess you can say I'm a Tibetan Buddhist rime student.
I'm missing the community forum on the Siddhartha's intent website (which closed at the end of June) and I've found the discussion here interesting. I hope to make a contribution from time to time.
Best wishes to you all

Patrul Rinpoche's advice about following a spiritual friend:
Just as the trunk of an ordinary tree
Lying in the forest of the Malaya mountains
Absorbs the perfume of sandal from the moist leaves and branches
So you become to resemble whomever you follow.

Hi, Punya, welcome. 
Because, if our mothers, who have been kind to us
From beginningless time, are suffering,
What can we do with (just) our own happiness?

Hi Punya,
It is a shame Siddhartha's intent is down, it was a great resource, but there are many more to be found and listed somewhere around here if you do a search.
Personally I would recommend DharmaSun.org for talks and occasional courses.

Thanks futerko. It looks good!
I have heard there will be a new SI website but no indication about the time frame or content.
