Exactly today, ten years ago, I decided to start a server as a fun space for myself and my friends, having no idea how big of an experience and a journey it'd become for not only me but many others.
What started as a small fun pastime, despite me being very young at the time alongside with my lack of experience, ended up growing into a large and fantastic community of its own, which I'm still grateful for. Most of you should already know the history of this community thanks to the previous anniversary announcements, so I'll keep it short and concise for you all.
Thank you all (incredibly humbling 120,000~ players to be exact) for giving this server a chance and helping shape its history, creating so many pleasant memories over so many years for myself and the entire community.
It has truly been an extraordinary ride filled with so many memories for me and knowing that many others feel the same fills my heart with joy.
To celebrate, we've prepared you something special to celebrate our decade-long run in the TF2 community. Have a look!
We're still around for now, the community is also plenty active in the DFS Discord.
We'll also still be hosting events, content updates & more from time to time, so we hope that you continue sticking around for the future too.
Thanks once again for allowing us to have a decade-long run within TF2. As always, I hope that you have fun and enjoy yourselves in the servers!
