TF Tuesdays - Last Hoorah + Soundtrack
CaffeinePowered \| 3:58 PM on 04.01.2008	36 comments

While Ive briefly thought of the idea a few times, I think its finally time the server be decoupled from Destructoid. I thank most of you for your support up until this time, but Ive grown really sick of some people and to a lesser extent the thanklessness of continuing to provide this service to the community and getting nothing but malice in return for it. Congrads, you just cost the community its server.

Look at my FNF post last week for an example of bullshit I don't like, sorry, but I'm not going to ban or exclude someone whose done much more for the server than the majority of you based on some stupid point.

The server isn't disappearing, just not going to server this "community" any longer. Thanks to that nice 140+ steamID thread I got going too, I can throw down a bunch of bans for people that have been asshats on the server after tonight. After which Im going to purge the reserved list going forward so only the people that actually have supported the server have access to slots.

Last TFT will be tonight, 8pm cst as usual, same IP, pass is alsococks.

Peace

On a lighter note, surf is making a soundtrack for the server/TF2 and asked me to mention it, contact him if you have any song requests.

yea for those that are interested the challenge is to pick a good song that is thematically correct for each class and then a song or two that could be the server's theme song. If you have any submissions you can PM them to me. This Friday I'm gonna start hurt/heal threads for all the submissions to pick the best ones. These will be on the server forums.

There's a separate forum being set up for the regulars so that they can continue to communicate. Details on that will be forthcoming once it's up and running.

Its not like its going away or not becoming any less of a community server. The way I understand it is its not official and it probably doesn't suit either Niero or the people who run it to keep it as a "Destructoid" server. I'm sure the fine folks at Destructoid don't want to have to worry about what goes on on a TF2 server and the admins of the server should have a free hand in regulating it to keep it a friendly place.

Dude, that blows, man. I never thought the furry hate was anything more than a bit of jest.

Peaches - Its not in jest when Joel comes to both me and Kor asking to ban people because of it. After Joel left Surf started catching flack.

Like I said, not gonna ban someone whose done a ton of service to the server and basically goes in day in and day out filling it up initially so people have a crowd to come to play with at night

I have a lot of respect for the people that run the server for us. Everyone seems to be taking this the wrong way though. To me its just a way to keep it a friendly place. A lot of drama has spilled over onto the server from Dtoid and this just means the admins can keep it out.

rumsfald says:
(# 17) on 04/01/2008 18:16

I would join, but I am disgusted by the amount of "decoupling" advocates (read: CelibatePowered) on this server.

I can't believe I'm the first in to rehash that meme.

But seriously, "decoupling"? Seriously? Not secession?

CaffeinePowered says:
(# 18) on 04/01/2008 18:20

Eh, being a masters student in finance, I keep hearing about world markets decoupling from the US markets, so thats the first word that came to mind.

Evil Cheese says:
(# 19) on 04/01/2008 18:24

Now I'm Sad Cheese :(. Sorry to hear that, I didn't realize it had gotten so bad. Thanks for all of the work you guys put in to maintaining the server and for helping me suck less by pwning my ass just about every Friday.

rumsfald says:
(# 20) on 04/01/2008 18:25

How about you just spin-off the server from the corporate master to maintain compliance with Sarbanes-Oxley. You know, like a lockbox.

Or maybe the pew pew pew server is going IPO?

Deregulating furry markets?

ok, I admit, my finance jokes are lame.

vandamguy says:
(# 21) on 04/01/2008 18:31

I think people have misinterpreted the message Celibate is trying to communicate.

I'll simplify it for your american attention span.

Server is still there, people are still there, no more cblog whores slandering regulars without repercussions.

Wedge says:
(# 22) on 04/01/2008 18:41

... huh?

So... do we still hang out for FNF then?

Surf314 says:

Wedge: see Vandam

(# 24) on 04/01/2008 19:50

@Vandam - Oh they'll still do it and you know that. Not like they had an effect in the first place. Cunts will be cunts.

I for one, approve of our new unshackled overlords.

Dexter345 says:
(# 25) on 04/01/2008 20:24

Youch, I know I don't play TF2 on the PC, but some nasty stuff must have gone down.

I guess I'll stick with playing with only Blindside and Chieftain on the 360 version...

Surf314 says:
(# 26) on 04/01/2008 21:59

Paper Rock Scissors was awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'll be waiting for the epic videos.

And lulz, definately the lulz.

What the hell happened while I was gone..damn. Ehwell..

less asshats=more fun

Daft says:
(# 28) on 04/01/2008 23:45

I still don't know what happened. I checked the post for last FNF, and the furries comments on there seemed relatively harmless. I didn't play for very long last Friday though, something might have happened after I left? And if people are being abusive in-game, first isn't there a mute button? Second, don't we have admins that I dunno, sort of ADMINISTRATE the server? I'm still confused by the decision, but as long as we all get to keep playing I guess it doesn't matter. I'll only be harder to get newcomers in on the action, and I wouldn't have met any of you if it wasn't on Dtoid to begin with.

In other news, I totally respect and admire the hard work and dedication Caff and others have put into making the server my top favorite to play on. See you in the server (as greenmachine)

Surf314 says:
(# 29) on 04/02/2008 06:21

@Daft

The admins do administrate but it's kinda hard to start kicking Dtoid people when it's a Dtoid server.

ScottyG says:
(# 30) on 04/02/2008 06:53

The furry comments were mostly due to some tinyurl and html form trickery... :(

...some trickery I plan to take advantage of as well. ;)

sorry to hear about the server problems, it's the only place I have any fun playing tf2 anymore.

I follows yous guys to new server name.

copulatingduck says:
(# 32) on 04/02/2008 11:25

:( I haven't been on much lately (too busy with school), but all the comments last week kinda pissed me off. Maybe I'm just looking for a reason to be butt-hurt, but a metric fuck-ton of the folks complaining don't even have the PC's to play TF2 on the server, much less contribute to the server's community. I'm all for the decoupling. Will the IP on the server change, or is it staying the same? I really enjoyed all the tomfoolery on there, I hope I can still play :)

Surf314 says:
(# 33) on 04/02/2008 13:56

Everything stays the same except the name duck. We miss you and your copulating shenanigans.

jorge says:
(# 34) on 04/02/2008 18:45

...oh

:(

m3ds says:
(# 35) on 04/02/2008 23:06

Really sorry to hear this happen. I don't play TF2 a whole lot anymore, but whenever I do I always look to see if you guys are playing as it's always a blast to play on. Although I'm glad to hear it'll stay public. Maybe I'll try and come on more.
