I'll start this thread with an acknowledgement, the acknowledgement that I'm not as active any more in the community as I both should and would like to be, life has been very very busy for me and TF had to take a back seat to accommodate this, my huge thanks to everyone that has stuck around, and to Video and the executive team for continuing to keep the ship afloat.
TF over the years has seen some significant shift in how it's ran, the player base, the community and fundamentally the appeal of the server itself. We started out many many years ago doing something very special, very unique and something that had never been done before, over the years this gap has closed, and today we're doing the same thing any of you could do with your own server, run a Freedom server.
What has continued to make TF unique over these years is it's community and it's values, we're one of the few servers that has never had any form of pay to play, where we don't accept donations and where we do a significant amount of our discussions and staff application process fully in the open.
I am starting to see a change in the community again, and one that we've seen in the not too distance past, and not one I am keen to see progress further, and it's progression further will lead to the end of this server.
So this is me, asking the community as a whole, help us all do better. We ultimately need new players to join us and help to naturally re-shape this server, else we risk repeating history again and that's not something I or this community can take.
While I won't be taking any direct action with regards to the server today, I will be watching closely and doing what I can to push through direct changes on the server with Video and the team.
