We need a TF2 server admin!

[Twilight Sparkle ✨ 8,526]

This position has been filled. Please see this topic for server information.

As you might have heard, I'm working on setting up an official Team Fortress 2 server for MLP Forums. I've got the game up and running, but there's a slight problem... and that's that none of the current MLP Forums staff, myself included, have any experience whatsoever running TF2 servers.

I do not normally make open calls for staff applications, but this time is an exception because I really have no other way to find out who here has the credentials I'm looking for. If you've run a TF2 server in the past, please send me a private message and tell me the following:

• whom the server you've run was for
• how long you ran the server (in weeks, months, or years)
• how many players (rough estimate) played on it
• whether your server was hosted remotely or at home

I will review applicants based on their standing in the MLP Forums community and choose one (or possibly two, if it's a close call) to be our TF2 server admin. I will give the chosen admin every level of access they will need to operate the server, including SSH and SFTP, and they will be fully responsible for running it - I will only provide a VPS to host it.

I could just open up a public server as it is, but I want the same level of care and attention to go into our TF2 server as our Minecraft one as well as the rest of MLP Forums. If everything works out, this server could potentially become a key promotional tool for the community as well, because there are lots of people out there who love TF2.
