Monster player, and really nice guy as well. Good luck Dango!

i agree at least 200% with miwo. He's stated a very 'real world' opinion.

idk i've played against gr:m in tf2center a few times and he was kinda a dumpster

:\ I can't really say i've ever had a bad experience at tf2c. Its a shame that such a well put together, easy to use site is going to be boycotted by a large chunk of the community simply from the fault of its administration. Most of the issues came from there being too much power at the top end of the site combined with the general apathetic attitude that most players have towards playing lobbies.

I feel like if people didn't have the "It's just a lobby" mentality and tried to take it more seriously, then you would get a higher skill pool of players, and less strict admins. Again and again though you see people who decide to attempt to use a free service, which they have had no part in the creation of and then bitch when they can't do whatever they want.

People should keep in mind that if they are playing a lobby, then you are pretty much writing off the next 20-60 minutes of your time and you should plan accordingly. I don't understand how people could get offended by a temporary ban given for closing/leaving early when the expectations are clearly presented.

While MasterNoob and MotherTeresa have been quite harsh with the bans/silencing of protest etc lately you should have the expectation that when using their free service, you will abide by their rules. TF2 Center NEEDED a seperate admin team from the development team, as well as a much more well defined set of rules.

see TFTV Rules vs TF2C Rules. Even better you should see TF2Pickup's rules (anyone who's had to find the "I agree" button knows what i'm talking about). From the ground up there were just too many administration issues.

With how much has gone into TF2C and the playerbase that it already has, (I HIGHLY doubt the playerbase will move to a new site even if one was made, Unless TF2C was gone) It's simply not worth abandoning. However, we should be hesitant to continue using the site if no efforts are made to fix the obvious administration issues.

As a community we are way to fast to jump on a bandwagon and gather our pitchforks. Consider the effects of a change before you try to make it.

I get really heated on /r/tf2 sometimes discussing pyro. I don't know why that is, I guess i'm just horribly disappointed in the direction valve took with it.

MixHUD by tommy was one of the coolest things i've ever seen a hud creator do and is a similar idea to that except instead of modding the base hud with lots of choices its a custom hud with lots of choices. If you can do what you're saying that would be so good. One thing that i think would be a must is the option to chose any font on your pc as a hud font. see: ToonHUD for a great implementation of this.

You may have been -fragged because your hud was both irrelevant to the thread, and honestly quite ugly. It just looked like self promotion and back patting as opposed to sincere contribution.

The minigun bullets can hit more consistently as they don't have rockets causing sudden bursts of movement (which will cause a bullet or two to miss). It may not always be worth sacrificing level 3's rockets, however it can be very useful depending on your opponent's playstyle.

level 2's have better knockback then level 3's which is nice if the other team likes to bomb last for a force. If its a scout/demo uber it doesn't matter as much.

If the electrical in your house is fairly modern you should try a powerline adapter. LINK.

I would just make sure to get one that you can return to the buyer if it doesn't work. If your electrical is poor it could be no better than wireless.

anyone else think its insane to have just one admin dealing with all the ban requests on tf2c. Like if I had to look at 20-40 ban requests a day i'd just start flipping a coin.

edit:

the admins have a "wall of shame" thread

to celebrate my downstairs neighbors i will be eating burgers and drinking beer. the american way.

So are you actually doing something or are you just posting an idea and hoping a bunch of other people will do the work for you? Things like these take a lot of time and effort. Good luck though, newbie mixes are a good idea.
