In my opinion, I've already spread kinda much word with other team members about what we're working on what kind of features there will be. When we launch the 2nd update, there will be screenshots & videos about the service and information about staff members.

:D You really made my day! But I bet team of developers are using their time for developing instead of yelling at me or someone else.

You'll surely find new information when the thread keeps going.

The guy on the 1st page of this thread who used this "TF2Games" forum account is the creator of that Reddit thread. I'm not.

Because I'm part of the project. I don't own it, but I'm part of it. That's why I'm representing them. If you don't trust us/me, you don't have to, I'm trying to convince as many people as I can though, but I'm perfectly fine if you won't believe or trust our project. What I understood from your text, you don't trust us before we release the service. That is alright. Many people stick on that side.

I'm sorry if you find me unprofessional. If you want, you can report me if I'm doing my job badly.
I'm obliged to mark up all the criticism and bring it to our boss.

I am not allowed to talk about other team members yet, that is the problem. We are currently in a "spread the word" status, which doesn't include information sharing about the team. I understand you think I can just go and say whatever I want, since this is internet, but I was very guided before I was able to join this spot.

When we update to the 2nd public level of this project, then stuff like information about staff, screenshots & videos is possible and when people ask for them, I'm obliged to give full answers to these questions.

There are so many people out there working on this project that I am nothing comparing to them. It is not my project, I'd love to own it and manage it though, but it's just not my project.

I can't deny my job, sorry. If someone asks a question on the thread that is about TF2Games, and I have an ability to answer, I have to answer if I can, that is my job. Sorry if it bothers you.

Well, that is my job currently; spreading the world, answering to questions as well as I'm allowed to.
It might look like we are not currently working on the project, since we seem to have time to argue on the forums. But for real, it's just me and 1 other person doing that. Other members of the team are working on the actual project currently and we will launch a change soon, which means that there will be people from the development group to spread the world and people who spread the word (me and the other person) will be added to the development group again.

And the reason why I'm arguing a lot with people is because I'm actually quite bored, I've been doing this for over 11 hours today and there are moments when you get no messages to answer at all.

I'm sorry if my messages don't convince you though.

It's not my project. It's not even close to be my project.

More and more people keep waiting and we need to ask for patience all the time. We can't handle that for one year, but now we're aware that it won't take that long. And our websites are enough good to take screenshots & video captures soon. PS. 1 year ago, it wasn't even close to that.

Yes they do not officially play TF2, but they are still working for the service. Like I said in the reddit post, the social side of this service is in a big role (chats, profiles, rankings, etc.) The person who is responsible for the bot engine, has been working a lot with CSS, which is also a Source game obviously.

We are not coding a replacement for TF2Center. The service is different. We don't offer 5000 servers "in the public", but when player launches lobby, one of the 5000 servers will his to use. What's the meaning of that, is that when, for example, 300 servers are being used, 4700 servers are not online. Server will launch when the lobby launches.

Spending $300 for a single program that is very rarely needed in competitive side of TF2 is something we want to bring up for some reason. We have team members that are specialized with C++, MySQL, HTML, PHP, SourceMod/Source Dedicated Server modifications, etc.

We were hiding this project during the year, mainly because it was really hard job and it wasn't worth showing back then. We knew, that we would have to keep people waiting and waiting and keep saying "patience patience", and that wasn't something we wanted.

We understand if you people find us suspicious, but try to understand us. It is not an easy project at all, it needs full dedication from lots of people. I hope you all could understand that.

We spent year with the project.
We spent years with many features being used in the project.

Please read.

Currently we are spreading the word about this service. We want to let people know that this kind of project exists. That's our current status. And if more information is needed, (screenshots, videos, team member info, etc.) then you just have to look in the future, because currently, we are just letting people know that the whole thing exists.

But if names of other persons are what you really asked for, I can list few. Mark, John & Caroline.

FYI most of team doesn't use Steam publicly. They either have hidden profiles or they are not using it at all.
Me and another person from the team is responsible for Steam group and answering to questions. The problem is that you don't know how things go here, so it's really difficult to chat with you about this.
But each person is dedicated to specific job. That's all I can say.

How many pickup services gave information about their past projects before the releases? None? We receive questions about our knowledge because we promise more than just a comp matchmaking. What do you think past projects tell? If we worked on a health care project before, it has nothing to do with TF2 and won't convince anyone. I think all that matters is the future, although I can say that we've had projects before.

"for someone with this big project in hand..."
I've said more than too many times on Reddit and even in this thread that we are a TEAM. I, and no one, are behind this all alone. We do need a team to be able to make this happen. Maybe in the future you might understand how wonderful things people can make when they work as a team.
