Thanks, it took me a while to find and check the groups. May I get a link/s at the said format, please?

From what I understand they pay to cheat/admin... However I've never played on their servers just seems like a well known thing.

Okay, may I get the links so I can verify the groups and think if they have to be added? I know that lotus has inviting bots but it have more than enough communities atm...

I've been on TF2 Macy's server once (maybe it was another one) They have a bad selection of maps.

TF2 traing post is good but only because it has lots of people and quick response but what I don't is that people get greedy on there and then when you are buying/selling something you put KEYS ONLY and people offer metal and items. Happened to me before.
