March 8 Debra, a member of our forums, also known as Dobroslav Augustin, has committed trading suicide by the purchase of the scammed Hellfire team captain for 27 buds. His reporter: himself. It was Dobro's choice to commit the deed he was banned for. A means to quit trading.▐ Today, scrap.tf reached 500,000 users.▐ TheMCBros99 apparently called the police on his mother.
March 9 SourceRep, a popular site among forumers lately, created by MCBros99 to replace steamrep, came under fire in a brutal thread originally intended to support it today. Is SourceRep doomed? Can it solve it's staff problems, and become recognized by the community?
March 10 A beloved comrade falls today, one by the name of Auroz. He will be sorely remembered, as his adoration for Zorua and furry porn brought us amusement and him punishment. He posted an NSFW gif, and denied it, and that was his final straw. He was banned just earlier in this day.▐ In the economy, keys continue to rise, and buds fall. Will the demise of buds and refined metal come to an end?▐ And lamentably, aaroncsn, a moderator on the forums and backpack.tf main site got his verdict to be cautioned on steamrep today. It appears that aaron blocked the mod from F-o-G, and the mod took offense and gave him a caution. UPDATE: aaron's report has been altered, the comments removed up to the point at which the verdict was still uncertain. Perhaps he will not be cautioned. Will he lose his position on backpack.tf?
March 11 Has phishing season finally begun? With more than three people waking up to multiple adds, it appears that it may have. Do the phishers run in a seasonal fashion?▐ In other news, the infamous unboxer of the burning flames Law has recently traded with our dear friend Debra, who is marked on steamrep, and will most likely incur a mark on steamrep for the trade. You may know him as "DRUG LORD". UPDATE: His report on Fortress of Gamers has been denied, but the report has been mirrored to steamrep.▐ In other news, the fourth installment in the popular series of games dubbed "Five nights at Freddy's" has been announced. Are you ready for Freddy?▐ Polar has added new rules to the forum, you can read them here.▐ It also appears that at some point in the near future, the status updates are going to be far more heavily moderated, and while this sounds good to most of us, we can't forget the concerns of many: Will we lose the almost delicate ecology that they experience now?▐ The Backpack.tf Newsletter becomes a pinned thread in General Discussion today, a feat beyond my and my staff's dreams.
March 12 Steam has, in just one event in a series of blunders, begun to duplicate items in a hijacked user's backpack more than once. This is both an extreme profit making opportunity, and probably burning max worthy. Let the reports roll in! Read about this here. ▐ A CSGO tournament has started today, and the grand prize is 250,000 dollars. I had a hard time believing it myself. In any case, with so much to win, it can't hurt to enter and try your best.▐ Gorror, famous TF2 item collector, has entrusted monkey with his burning KE and burning TC.▐ TF2 had an update today, read about that here. The Strange Kritzkreig is now unboxable in one of the new crates in this update, it is suspected to drop like a rock. Sell yours while you can! On top of this, they had the audacity to remove item levels. All of your level collections are worthless now. I am sorry, my dear readers.▐ Trade.tf was DDoSed.
March 13 Trade.tf recovers from a DDoS attack today, its service is available again to any interested parties. UPDATE: Trade.tf has been assailed again, probably by the same people. It seems to be someone's goal to keep trade.tf down as much as possible.▐ I think we can all agree that Trade.tf has been under much duress lately, with the situation with Lord Swag, and their being DDoSed.▐ Snoven, the owner of the charity livestream Flares That Care has stepped down from his position, and it appears that he had scammed a different community he'd been a part of out of more than 40 buds. If this doesn't make sense to you, read this article here for more information. This revelation is the very reason why the stream has ended. UPDATE: The Flares That Care livestream has not ended, it is under new management.▐ Aaroncsn's position on backpack.tf is saved as his report on F-o-G was archived today.
March 14 Today is Pi day, which is a relatively underappreciated phenomenon. At exactly 1:59:26 AM, the time of day will, at one point, be pi.▐ One of the community's most hated figures, Drug Lord, has apologized today. Though it may seem gratuitous, it is a bleak reality that he almost certainly only apologized because he needed the community on his side due to his reports on Steamrep and FoG. Read his apology here.
