I believe the TF2 server got shut down from lack of use.

Are they dead? This can only be answered if one has the definition of life.
Life comes in many forms and various possibilities. Humans, being sentient, are apparently alive. We also recognize animals as having life, though their sentience is in question. Plants are alive, yet are not even conscious, they simply live and reproduce. A virus defies all sense of life, except that it will reproduce, though not alone, does this count as life? If so, so too must a digital virus appear to carry life within its magnetic and electrical "DNA".
A forum does little on its own, and certainly does not produce more of its kind, yet it can be given the feel of life simply by perpetuating and allowing activity. We see this type of life other places as well; "The forest is alive". Though the forest itself is merely a location, and not an entity in its own right, we still label it with life.
What then, constitutes the end of life? A forest is dead when there is no longer any activity, a creature is dead when it no longer moves and senses, a virus is dead when it ceases to exist. A person can enter a coma for indefinite periods of time, being seemingly dead but maintaining a tiny bit of life within.
This forum still exists. This forum still senses when someone arrives, welcoming and responding without hesitation. This forum has ever so small amount of activity still clinging on to a thread. The answer then, clearly, is that this forum is not dead.

Hardly. But WE CAN DO IT! If 6 or so regs get on to seed it, it'll fill up fast. We just need people to do it more often to get a steady playerbase going again.

but one of my friends managed to get the song from the end credits.First thing I did upon beating the game and closing it was shutdown steam so it'd release it's hold on the GCFs and I could go snag that song.

Furthermore, most of TFC was CTF and teleporters weren't that great there. Most of TF2 is command point control of various sorts, and teles are far more useful and less annoying there.

Which Kodiac? a search turns up three "Kodiac"s, none with avatars or noticeable info and the /id/Kodiac page doesn't exist.

They take the name of someone who is the class they are disguised as. If the team has none of the class then it's completely random (and the spy is an idiot).
Owl: With FF on you have to detect them by seeing improper behavior, which is how I do so most of the time anyway. Also, if it's still the same spies and scouts should be able to remove their disguise, and I think one of the two can see them when cloaked.

Male, Owl and Duck, you all have Officer status now that lets you do... stuff. Seems I'm the only one that looks for adnubs and gives them the powars.

7:00pm CST(-6)I wish to have time clarification! USA is currently in daylight savings time, which turns central into CDT(-5). I'd normally just ignore the letter difference but you had the offset listed for standard time too. So uhh, yeah. -5 or -6?

Every time I see your name I can't help seeing the reverse of mine (Krans) which I use now and then. <_< Ahoy and good to have more people!

I tried it a bit back with the 3.2 beta, it didn't really seem that it helped make it better any. (not to mention they never checked their uninstaller <_< when I removed 3.2 beta it took all the standard install files with it (they were in different directories like they said))

It's strange enough as it is, the fact it's people wanting it on solstice day and speaking of positive energy makes it even weirder. o_o
