We would like to thank everyone who has help participate and donate for F7Lans' first ever Community Appreciation Week. You have helped us reached a goal we have wanted for a long time and never had the ability to do so - F7Lans purchase all new hardware!

Thanks to your contributions, we have purchased a brand new system on which to host our flagship TF2 server, Attack/Defend Classic. We are still working out bugs on the new system - and we appreciate your understanding while we work out these problems! - and we hope to start yet another Atlanta based TF2 server!

We would like to congratulate the 15 winners of the Splinter Cell Conviction giveaway, and we will be announcing the 4 lucky winners of Worms Reloaded. Today is your last day to donate and win!

Once again - thank you, the F7Lans Community, for making this possible! And be sure to look out for future Community Appreciation Weeks in the months ahead.

That's right, F7Lans' first ever Community Appreciation Week continues forward! You can win a copy of the new Worms Reloaded game simply by donating $5 or more. This giveaway is a raffle, and every $5 donated will give you one more shot at winning. That means if you donate $10 you have 2 raffle "tickets"!

Did we mention that you will get the Community Appreciation Week bonus still? We are increasing our donation rate this week only from $5 for 2 months of Supporter to $5 for 5 MONTHS of Supporter! That's over a 200% increase!

And did we also mention that any previous donations from the beginning of Community Appreciation Week still count? Well they do! So if you donated this past weekend then you are still entered in the raffle! It also means that it could be possible to win both a copy of Splinter Cell Conviction as well as a copy of Worms Reloaded. And speaking of Splinter Cell...

Here are the 15 winners of our giveaway of Splinter Cell Conviction! Unfortunately we do not have some of the names registered here on the forums. If you are a winner and your name is listed as ???, please post in this thread or contact me via Forum PM and I'll add you!

Player of the Week
Alright guys lets get back into the swing of things with our Player of the Week contest. This week around I tracked the Top 10 Kills Overall and the Top 10 Points Overall. We are still working on getting the new Engineer items logged on the stats system, and as such I am still unable to use these items in the Player of the Week contests. I still feel that the Engineer needs a little love since his update so we will be making next week Engineer week. Specifically we will be tracking the number of Level 3 Sentry Gun kills on top of our regular Top 10 Kills and Top 10 Points. This week's congratulations goes to Ann Thracks for pulling in the top stop for both Kills and Points.

News and Events
You may have noticed a slight change to the layout of the Weekly Post this time around. This is thanks to a wonderful suggestion from our very own community member, Ouch. Do you have a suggestion of your own about anything F7? E-mail us at Community@f7lans.com, send me a Steam message, or simply PM me here on these forums. The only way we can hear your suggestion is if you get it out in the open, so please don't hesitate to get a hold of me.

In case you have been living under a rock the past few days the Community Leaders have decided to make this week F7's first ever Community Appreciation Week. To kick this week's celebration off right we have decided to give away 15 copies of Splinter Cell Conviction: Digital Deluxe Edition. On top of this fantastic giveaway we have decided to up the ante with our donation system. For ONE WEEK ONLY we have raised the bar from $5 for 2 months to $5 for 5 months. The response for this discounted rate has been phenomenal and the donations just keep coming in. This week's discount is a brilliant way for you to stock up on Supporter Status for the months ahead. In fact we already have had people taking advantage of this discount by buying years worth of Supporter at a time. This week is a great way to ensure you can keep the fantastic benefits that come with being a supporter. Remember only F7Lans is able to offer you so many fantastic benefits for so cheap.

On top of the changes we have rolled out during Community Appreciation Week the Community Leaders have also decided to change the standard price for Supporter Status. In an effort to bring you the cheapest Supporter Status around we will be changing our base rate from 2 months for $5 to 3 months for $5. Who can argue with getting a free month of supporter during these hard times? Enjoy, you guys have earned it.

I am currently keeping a running list of TF2 items people wish to trade over in this thread. I have recently updated and cleaned up the thread so everything should be up to date. If you see an error or would like to make a correction please post in that thread and let me know. Also, don't hesitate to add yourself to the list if you have not already. Once the trading system goes live hopefully this list will allow everyone to get the items they want.

Our final bit of news has to do with our Community Appreciation Week. I wanted to let everyone know that we may or may not have some more surprises up our sleeves. I'm not ready to announce anything just yet but now that I have said something there is no way for me to Worm my way out of this. Keep checking back with us as I will be making the announcement shortly.

Have you ever wished you could take F7Lans with you even when your not in one of our many fantastic server? Well I'm here to tell you that this is possible thanks to our Public Ventrilo Server. It also allows for easy cross game communication and is a fantastic way to chat with community members who happen to be playing a different game or no game at all. Furthermore, we here at F7Lans have a public IRC channel available for use each and every day. This is another great way for you to stay in touch with the community even when your not playing in our servers. A great many people take advantage of both our Vent and our IRC when they are unable to play a game. I want to personally extend an invitation to each and every one of you to take advantage of both of these fantastic methods of communication. Visit this thread for a detailed walk through of how exactly you can get set up with both our Vent and our IRC.

As always if you want to get your own events scheduled please e-mail me at Community@f7lans.com. It can be for any and all games from Killing Floor, or Worms: Reloaded, to Starcraft 2. We have even had people use our event system for things such as table top RPG. If you can think it up and feel there is a demand for it, we WILL run it. This is the fastest and best way to ensure that you get set up with a vent channel, server, event topic, and steam spam. Please don't hesitate to e-mail or ask me for any assistance. As a Community Leader this is what we are here for and I will not be bothered in the least by your requests.

Also, if you have any questions, comments, suggestions, or complaints please don't hesitate to e-mail the staff here at F7Lans. The best way to get your community concerns or suggestions heard is to e-mail the Community Leaders at Community@f7lans.com. I would also like to take this time to elaborate exactly how the Community E-mail address works. Every F7Lans e-mail address be it Community@f7lans.com, Admin@f7lans.com, or Founders@f7lans.com are all e-mail forwards. This means that any time you send an e-mail to any of these e-mail addresses it will send a copy to each and every user's private e-mail address. We do this to prevent the chance of a user deleting a sensitive e-mail before others have a chance to view it. I want to reassure everyone that our staff system is set up with numerous checks and balances to prevent any one user from abusing the power entrusted to him or her. Just ask our latest admins Ouch or Carl B. and I'm sure they will agree now that they have had a view into the inner workings of the F7Lans staff.

That is right folks you heard it here first. We here at F7Lans want to show you; the community, our appreciation for all you do to make F7 great. As such we are going to be giving away $700 worth of games to show our love for the F7 community. Is that a typo? Hell no, this week is all about showing you how much we appreciate your support and how better to do that than giving away loads of free stuff?

How can you get in on some of this $700 worth of gaming? Simple. Be one of the first 15 people to donate at least $5 bucks to F7Lans and we will give you a copy of Splinter Cell Conviction: Digital Deluxe Edition. Not only that but for one week only every single person who donates will get 5 months of supporter instead of the usual 2 months. That's 5 months for only 5 bucks. Not only that but we are raising the bar and making default supporter status 3 months for every 5 dollars you donate instead of the old 2 months.

We here at F7 pride ourselves at being able to provide you with the best bang for you buck. Be it via website, forums, public vent, irc, or our countless servers across numerous games. Where else but F7Lans can you get all this action in one place? Besides, in these hard economic times who can argue with getting in on some excellent free stuff?

Enjoy it, you all have earned it!
