Hey folks! It is that time of year yet again!
We are looking artwork display around our assorted locales! The idea is simple, you just need create a spooky group icon / banner that we will use during the month of October! This year is different from all our other years however, because we have lots of places to toss up art!
The details are simple...
Icons must be a max of 512x512 pixels.
Banners must be a max 960x540 pixels.
It must be Halloween spooky themed!
The usual guidelines, nothing racist, sexist, NSFW, etc;
The artwork will be cycled out daily, if we manage to get more of either or to work with in the month long period we'll figure something out!
Submissions will be accepted until October 1st, at 11:59PM Pacfic Time! To submit your icon, toss it in here, the discord thread, or to my email, [email protected] with the subject "Halloween 2025"!
Certain twitter posts getting displayed on Discord had their embedded images corrupted, this has been fixed!
We've added a new channel and a new role for the upcoming release of Silksong! Similar to other games where we wanted to cordon off an area where people can discuss the game freely without exposing others to spoilers.
To get access to this room, please use Poe's /role command, select "Add role", and select "Silksong" from the drop down list!
Thanks to Cnoisy for reminding me that this is something we should do, lol

Discord has implemented a series of AI tool options for photos that are not affected by blocking external apps. Instead, I've quickly written a catch for Arty to automatically delete posts generated by embedded AI tools and report the person who used them to our administration channel.
While we do not technically have a rule against using apps, we heavily discourage the use of generative AI tools. We may take action if we notice particular people repeatedly try and get against our filtering.
As always, your feedback is appreciated!
If you haven't seen the news, TF2 is now open source(ish). The TF2 SDK is now apart of the 2013 Source SDK, this paves the way forward for mods such as TF2C and Open Fortress to be apart of Steam, allowing for easier download and upkeep.
Additionally, an open TF2 modding ecosystem will open the door to all sorts of exciting possibilities for TF2 going forward. I am very excited to see what comes out of this!
You should read up on the details here: https://www.teamfortress.com/post.php?id=238809
I'll also take this chance to announce that the TF2 servers have been temporarily disabled as a result of today's update. They will be brought back ASAP as is the norm with big updates. Our Open Fortress server however, may be inaccessible for a while while the OF team handles the changes to the Source SDK posted today. More details will be provided as we get them, thank you!
