Not a formatting thing, but I think HexChat is a far superior IRC client, and it's way easier to set up for a beginner. Shwan has a good guide for it on his youtube.

seems pretty cool. maybe add a quick reference thing at the top that just lists all the channels with a small note for the skill level and requirements (mumble, irc), then they can scroll down for more info

also something about newbie mixes?

Also it might be clearer to bullet point the IRC commands, rather than put them all in a paragraph. Just easier to read.

Quassel is very similar, if you guys want a different option.
EDIT: BUT it's a little less intuitive

Done! Does it make the page take a long time to load for anyone else?
If so I can reduce the number of videos but at the same time it's so hype...

Great!

But I think you could change the title to include NA and EU because TF2center works exactly the same way for the Europeans :)

I didn't know much about the European pug systems and I didn't want new european players to get confused and try to join NA pugs. Do you know of any EU Pug systems? all I know is TF2 Center, TF2pickup.net, and pickup2's.

AFAIK irc pickups in EU are dead apart from #mpuktf2.pickup2, we only use #tf.wars for finding pcws/scrims. For normal pickups we use tf2pickup.net

Also, added the guide to http://comp.tf/wiki/Guides

Nice looking guide Slin. Should add http://justplay.tf/ which has DM/MGE server listings and a Web-based irc client that auto-connects you to relevant channels.
