even I wasn't this retarded when i was in high school.

so apparently this is not happening. B_red has decided to shut down the flares that care steam group and twitch. apparently they rather start a new group and try at a later time. So I guess app will not be hosting the server. if I come across more info about this I will post again sorry guys.

Hey, just to make sure the community is caught up:

There will be an event this weekend.

It is in no way affiliated with Flares That Care.

Announcement soon. Lots of people working hard, we should have something pretty good to give you.

you niggas got scammed by a 15 yr old

lmao

Glad to hear. Even though it's not affiliated, will the people associated previously with FtC be participating (Uncle Dane, Ceejaey etc.)?

I'm actually happy that they dropped the FTC name, at this point it's just associated with a bad taste for me. Hope you guys can turn this into a great event!

Yes, myself and most of the people who were set to be involved with the Flares That Care stream are down to help out in any way to the "replacement event". An announcement about this new event (which is now turning out to be bigger and better than FTC ever seemed to have been) will be posted very, very soon.

indisputably the best post

Its pretty shitty that this all happened, but its even shittier that literally nothing stops him from just coming back into the community anonymously and scamming more people. I don't support e-stalking a kid, but in a perfect world if anyone knew that fuckers dad's phone number I don't think anything would feel more delicious than hearing that phone call (assuming his dad isn't the source for how fucked up this dude is)

This makes me really rethink what parents roles are when it comes to watching what their kids are doing on the internet though.

Epic For The Win™

this is kinda shitty for anyone looking to start their own charity drive too as well :(

anyone wanting to do anything like this while being relatively unkown or new to the community is gonna get super scrutinized over this which kinda sucks if u like charity because it makes the process that much more complex :((((

well like
no

its stupid that he was able to run a charity for that long and have no one say anything yeah ok 100% I agree

its dumb that 6 months from now the people who donate from outside of this forum are going to be super skeptical and untrusting and not donating because of something like this. There's like 6 threads on reddit about this, and that does a lot for the publicity of TF2, TF2 charities, and the TF2 community, and none of it is good. like at all. Unless someone that people trust runs the next big thing, and there's like 2 community members that the average player is even aware of, there's a good chance people will avoid donating, especially in items, and that is really really really really sad tbh.

im probably wrong but :(((

(also someone will make a post ironically asking if someone is going to scam their hats and I'll have an aneurysm btw what's the running total of how much he stole pls rspnd)

I'm not a lawyer or an accountant. Any chance this falls under public charity, private foundation, or some other group in the IRS guidelines?

pixels dont have value so unless he took paypal donations it doesnt matter

Now that everyone has calmed the fuck down. Time for my two cents worth.

FTC was never a scam. Never has. The only link for donations was directly to childs play, and the other paypal shit was just for people who wanted to help keep the website running, cuz it costs money.

Secondly, i may have a history of scamming, but i have very little need to do it now. I rarely fucking play TF2. I barely come on steam and all i play is binding of isaac. On top of that, im trade banned, so i couldnt get shit even if i wanted to.

Snovens behaviour might have convinced people this whole thing was a scam, but heres the thing. Imagine this, you spend months working your ass off to do something good, and because of one thread, all your work goes to waste. And i agree, it was kind of a bad move on snovens part to sell the hats, but hey, that aint my fault. If this thread hadnt been made, money could have been raised for charity, we could have had a fun stream, and hats would have been given away ON STREAM AS PLANNED.

And one thing you all need to remember, there were SO many fucking people involved in this, not just the ones listed on the website. Out of all of them, only 2 had a history of scamming.

I only decided to help out with this because B_RED asked me to after a lobby, i guess thats what i get for trying to do something nice

Believe me or not, Whatever works for you. After seeing this thread, im glad i dont play this game anymore, this entire community is just as toxic as me and snoven ever were.

Have fun with your shitty game and go fuck yourselves
-washed up pyro main

rip in peace FTC

"i once robbed a bank but i swear officer, i don't need to do it now"

for a scammer ur hats are really shit lol

PR 101 right here.

Drink bleach immediately.

Except all of this is happening anyway, safe in the hands of trusted and competent people.

Charity stops being charitable if you make it all about you.

this is like tf2games + toasterbr0, with just a dash of pyro mains

Not "I'm sorry", not "I've given up my past ways", but "I don't need to anymore"

Imagine this, someone takes things given to them in good will for a charitable project and then sells them to buy steam games

"It's not a scam if you can dupe a lot of people"

So because we are outraged that someone stole from us we are more toxic than the people that stole?

???????? ?????????????????????? ???????????????????????????????

ok on an unrelated note how do you even manage that

You're a joke. Nobody cares about the hats themselves that were lost and it's pathetic you're trying to justify letting a fragile and fickle 15 year old handle hundreds of dollars for FTC. It really shows that you didn't give enough of a fuck about handling the charity responsibly to begin with regardless of you and snoven's shitty scammer history.

Go look at the TF2Can event. It's actually incredible that this community has the initiative to turn a sham run by scumbags and in one day, make a real charity out of it that's on its way to raise more money than FTC and I hope you're reasonable enough to understand that reality.

Can you and snoven read your posts before you click submit? You really contradict yourselves. You don't even sound like you can properly manage yourself let alone a charity.

I'm going to ignore the rest of your insane, whiny rant and focus on one thing.

"If this thread hadnt been made, money could have been raised for charity, we could have had a fun stream, and hats would have been given away ON STREAM AS PLANNED."

You seem to be missing the fact that a fun stream is occurring, money is being raised for charity, people have done generous giveaways, the innocents who contributed to FTC are currently participating...and none of it has been tainted by obnoxious, self-entitled scammers.

Also, less than two months ago you created a Steam Group solely to make a tribute for your just-then trade-banned Steam alt. Stop trying to present it as though your scamming days are ancient history.

You and Snoven had the same choice to make when confronted with your past, and you both could have manned-up and come out from this stronger than ever. Instead, you both decided to act as though you were the victims and to lash out at the community in retaliation.

What happened over the last 24 hours is the result of the choices you and (especially) Snoven made. I suggest you both learn from it and move on. The rest of us already are.
