I remembered why I renewed our license and attempted to get a test copy of the forum upgraded to Beta 3 - no dice. It seems like the error is being fixed, though, and hopefully that means we'll be up and running with something to preview in Beta 4.

This is a thread where I'll post some screenshots from the IPS preview forum that I have access to, in order for you all to get an idea of what changes will be coming.   Quotes in the new version - by default they're collapsed like in the top image, but can be expanded like in the bottom image.

I don't remember when exactly, but I do want to make it up.

If you were the one person who didn't get their gift last year, PM me. I'll give you a very belated present.

I merged your old account into your new one.   Welcome back.

Perhaps, but the majority of this is the value of keys rising, since the value of everything else in relation is falling. To continually represent it as "metal dropping" is at best a grave misunderstanding and at worst a deliberate misrepresentation.

In theory, a democratic system like Backpack.tf should work as well as the technical system of the spreadsheet.   This fails for Backpack.tf because: not everyone affected by these prices is involved in the process of making them not everyone participating in the process is doing so in good faith a few users are allowed or even given explicit power to dominate the process This gives Backpack.tf dangerous power to use its "community-created" label as both a weapon against other competitors and a shield against criticism.

Maybe, but for now it continues to grow, and competitive will hopefully breathe life back into the game. I know that we're going to do our best to help that process, given what's occurring internally at TFTV.

Not dead, competitive is growing and MM will be a huge boost. I've seen the figures.

I hope that they're going to stick to the Lucas sequel trilogy scripts. If not, it's going to be worse.

Yeah, but I know that if I don't make a commitment to play a game consistently, I probably won't play it because I most likely will suck.   They don't call me "worst player world" for no reason.

Seems like it will be interesting, but I'm not sure how well this class mechanic will work out.   I'm cautiously optimistic, but I've invested a lot into TF2, and it would take a lot for me to switch.

Mapping in Hammer feels like smashing your head in with an actual hammer. When Rammit added the new and got removed. Except, well, it was an accident done by me, which I admitted to.

Security updates, and it'll actually be supported in the future (as opposed to this one which will no longer be).

Apparently many others are having the same issue. I'm 99% sure it's a licensing issue (my key for the testing install was rejected). I'll try to fix it ASAP.   First of all, opposition to what? This update is REQUIRED, and we will be upgrading to it.   Second of all, suppressing opposition? All I want is to not clutter up this forum with feedback for the future version, and to keep feedback easily accessible where it's relevant. You can still talk about the new forum on the test forum, which is publicly accessible without registration required.   troled :^)   In all seriousness though, if you don't want to clutter this forum, just make a feedback thread. That in turn gets rid of any clutter off the test forum, speaking of which is supposed to be wiped every so often according to you. Also, is there any way to keep the old forum's themes? Some of them are amazing, so it'd be terrible if we lost them   I'm sorry that I'm overreacting to hearing the same shit over and over again.   I might make a thread for that, but only if it's warranted. Otherwise I'll probably create a list in this thread of the feedback which has been reviewed, probably.

You can still talk about the new forum on the test forum, which is publicly accessible without registration required.   If you're going to give feedback, I think it's reasonable that you're required to actually use the forum that you're giving feedback on. I hope that's not too demanding.

A fresh beta installation is now installed at http://test.spufpowered.com/. Since the upgrader is not working, we decided to give you a copy that you could test. Note that this site will be replaced with an upgraded version of this site when the upgrader starts working properly.   As a beta site, I would like to stress this is for testing ONLY. Any other usage is disallowed. This community may and most likely will be WIPED several times in the process of testing, so do not use it for anything you consider even remotely useful.   By using the site, you are agreeing that you will follow all directives posted by administration. Violations of this policy will result in action at administrator discretion and a possible ban from further testing. The first directive: you are required to restrict all of your feedback to private conversations and the test forum itself.

As an update, we are working on getting a beta installation out for testing. There have been some notable issues with converting our current database over, which is delaying the effort.

Still takes some guts. Masculinity is hard to break away from.

I didn't actually care, but you actually went to those lengths? Hardcore, man.

No, but surely someone had a better camera you could borrow.   I know that I definitely would if I had to document something like this.

Well, Corv actually delivered. I never expected that. Bravo, sir.   Though that image quality is pretty bad.
