The VaultF4 brand has had no success in TF2. Whose fault is that?

I can tell quite a bit of effort was put into making this thread. If the same level of devotion had been used to keep the FreeFrag brand intact and the competing egos in check, we'd all still have a Payload server to play on.

Well that's all I got. Sorry it didn't help.

The only thing I can think of that might be causing the problem is having "voice_inputfromfile" set to 1. The setting is ignored on most tf2 servers but on servers like VaultF4 where moderate hldj micspam is permitted, having it set to 1 would disable your mic input and instead read from a .wav...

Unless they were...

Maybe if you tried to go back to 2009 when the atmosphere was more open and diverse. People laughed, had fun, and traded jabs with one another. Late night discussions were casual, sometimes insightful, other times completely ridiculous, motivated by our desire to be heard speaking in a...
