Uh...

binary pls, you're an admin. Obviously you changed it yourself.

I need to do that thing that gives you civ 5 but I'd be game for this
 
naturally I'd probably be destroyed since I have no experience whatsoever
 
It would be cool to have a mumble or something for this, though. Even if my mic apparently has a lot of problems.

I bought a Strange Battalion's Backup, thinking that I didn't have one. Turns out I did.
 
Anyone want a Strange Battalion's Backup?

I'm lame and lazy, so here's a luck airshot I got today which took me 15 minutes to record and 2 GB of hard drive space despite being only ~15 seconds long. Hopefully it'll upload before I'm awake.

I'm sorry Rammire, the aboose caboose moves on without you.

Okay, keeping up with all the things you people are canonically able to do is going to be hard.

Rep fixed for community leaders (server admins).

In order to encourage donations that help keep this forum as well as a variety of services alive, we offer certain benefits to people who donate.
 
Current donation privileges include:

It likely means you had less people repping you but their rep had more weight on the old forum.

Bam, poll.

yay cerberus syndrome

I think he meant he didn't think scags was the token gay guy. Not that he wasn't gay.

I remember when you guys overreacted to my presence and called me very interesting names when I came to report people on the SPUFserver. Oh how the times have changed. But yes, this is the community that technically runs the SPUFserver, now and forever. We have the High Admins Council over here which runs everything. All of the info about this very important and eventful server is in the TF2 Server forum, of course.

So the Batcave can actually keep a secret once in a while. Who knew.

Here lies Idiot Cube. He made decent cookies and then went against the Binocracy.

I still don't have the concept of a "day" fully realized, so I always think I have more time to do shit than I actually do.

Can we all agree to disagree? 6's and Highlander are two different formats of the game. Neither is inherently superior to the other - 6's is focused on speed and skill, while Highlander is focused on the unique abilities of each class. The only reason that 6's is higher up on the perceived ladder is because it's a harder format to master.
Well, with the lobby system that may all change. A good point brought up in Fully Charged yesterday was that the existing competitive community likely won't play in a lobby system - they already have an existing scene they're familiar with. One of the ideas proposed at TF.TV was the possibility of a Highlander-style 6v6 lobby system as opposed to just a Highlander system, and while it's a minority opinion, it's already apparent that whatever comes out will be much different than what the competitive community does today, and that will only help casual players to get their feet wet.

Valve time. Gameservers are already converting over (SPUFservers were already converted), and clients were supposed to get the forced update at 5:00 PM.

My rep fluctuates between -1000000 and 0 sometimes. It happens.

'Evening SPUFpowered,

As of this hour, I feel it be in my responsibility to provide some insight to recent controversy. These are my honest thoughts..

When een first started SPUFpowered in January 2012, it was created as a refuge for Spuffers who wanted to hang out. The forum was to be a place for friends to chat without the hustle and clutter of the larger Steam Users' Forums. This place is not without a set of guidelines. Although we tend to follow said guidelines, we adopt an overly "lax" attitude. Simply put, we can't behave and the longer we've been here the more rambunctious and immature some people have become for the sake of "just friends being lax".

A closed circle of friends, where everyone knows everyone, can cause issues with forum management. Moderators are less likely to do their jobs because they're afraid they'll be shunned by a certain person. For example, if Rynjin suddenly becomes extremely hostile towards Razputin and starts up arguments with him at every corner, would Rammite be quick to punish him? Would Rammite fear being shunned by his friend because he did his job? Will others cry Stalin if he closes a cluster-mucked thread?* Any attempts at cleaning up messes and shutting people up results in accusations of dictatorship.

* = Example only, not actual implication of hostilities between users

As for Freaky Fetishes, it is simply a sign of immaturity on our end. I don't even know where to begin, it's creepy? Stupid? Immature? Filled with TMI posts? Responsible for chasing people off the boards? Gross and annoying? If such a thread was replicated on SUF, we'd all be banned or at least put in timeout. It has gone on for long enough and the shenanigans need to end soon. Any crying over it has to be ignored and taken as a sign of immaturity. Why did it even need to exist?

TL;DR


[*]Knock it off with the shenanigans and being immature dunces.
[*]
[*]Learn to respect others in the forum space by not posting perverted threads made to satisfy some suck boner fantasy
[*]
[*]Moderators, ignore the crying. If you feel a thread needs to go, take it down. Letting the "lax friends circles" attitude degrades the board.
[*]
[*]We've lost quite a few people recently because of how we act. I am not saying the Fetish thread was the cause, but it may have had it's part.

And now for my most stressed point regarding 18+ discussion:


[*]It's not necessary, those kinds of discussions simply don't need to exist. What would you do? Talk about porn? Argue about gays and abortion? Hardly mature with the member roster we have. It would end up causing more trouble than it would solve.
