georgebaiiMaybe have something like the archimedes cup but use tf2stadium as a platform instead...

I am happy to do this and even embrace 6s if stadium wants to cooperate with us that way.

well, I started a lobby today on stadium with 4 other players. Took 90~ mins before it started despite going through my friendlist and posting on discord. i don't think anyone wants to be part of that experience. as of right now you can't really blame people for not going there, def needs to plan an event to get large groups of people over there. hopefully stadium will take off soon

BeelthazusWell if you look at internet community building at its core, its not unlike a company. When a company is small, things are simple and usually everyone is happy because communication and transparency is easy with its consumers.

However, when a company expands beyond a point of local administration, it becomes difficult to meet the needs of the entire consumer base. Microsoft is a great example of one such company that has this problem. Even in non-profit internet organizations like tf2center or stadium, there comes a time when moderation is an issue.

I like to use the old Latin adage "Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?" to describe these organizations, witch directly translates to "Who will guard the guards themselves?". If you look at scrap.tf, this is an example of an organization that has remained, for the most part, transparent and straight forward.

In conclusion,

TL;DR Maybe tf2center has become overgrown, and its garden needs weeding out?

When the biggest problem is the head admin you're just fucked no matter however you look at it

Geel9What would stadium change if the same players are playing on it?

u dont get banned for arbitrary reasons such as saying the word Pog Champ, which is an emote on twitch that was used in no context related to the site with champ in it

Honestly I feel like it'd be better to embrace the faceit ladder once it's available again (I haven't checked the discord in ages so I'm not exactly up to speed with things) for 6s things.

And if someone's going to ask about highlander in faceit, that's really a discussion for another time once the 6s ladder is released. But for the time being, going to stadium for 6s and HL is most likely going to hold better things as opposed to tf2c

Why does the TF2Stadium steam group never get announcements? It has 2,700 members, all of whom are at least nominally interested in playing there.

We gotta spam that shit until it gets more popular, because nobody is going to wait around on Stadium's website for matches to start in its current state.

TF2Stadium is 100 times better. However, it seems like there aren't many attempts to promote it.
Hosting events to play on it, maybe working with a popoular streamer or two in order to populate it is a pretty smart idea.

If you have chrome and the Stylish extension there's a style you can apply to do it.

._containerVer { background-color: #1b1b1b; }
  ._containerHor { background-color: #1b1b1b; height: 0px !important; }
  ._containerVerRight { background-color: #1b1b1b; }
  #aswift_0_anchor > iframe { width: 0px; visibility: hidden; }
  #aswift_1_anchor > iframe { width: 0px; visibility: hidden; }
  #aswift_2_anchor > iframe { width: 0px; visibility: hidden; }

Doesn't work anymore. It literally redirects the page to a page with just the image now so you can't get around it by just blocking a modal.

It works, but you need to whitelist this site on your adblocks. I have done same thing except i have dedicated another adblock to just block those 3 ads and with another adlock having tf2c whitelisted it's working very well. But please go play tf2stadium instead of tf2c.

KissakalaI doubt most people on this forum ever play lobbies, and if they do, they don't either care enough about the bad leadership of tf2c to change to tf2s.
From what I've understood, most people who play tf2c are fairly new to the game, so they have no real reason to care when their only goal is to get better at the game.

The only true comment here is downvoted, tells you how retarded TFTV is

Though I totally agree with the previous statements.

actually he pretty much is if he wants to do something it doesn't matter if every mod he has says its a bad idea he does it anyway.
Fact is we keep complaining about center but unless everyone in the community really makes a drive and goes to stadium and starts making lobbies happen over there then we might aswell accept center for what it is and not bring it up anymore
