I remember the early days of Outpost.

There were 3 places where people sold their stuff.
TF2TP (was incredibly laggy and always crashed during the weekends. Weekdays were a 65/35 it'll be up during its infant days)
SPUF (old Steam forums)
Community sites (Mostly where high end traders dealt in / some small time trading)

Then out came TF2OutPost. Not a whole lot of users used it, but it was another trading site similar to TF2TP that was not running off of a hamster wheel! Throughout the next few months the site would balloon in population and become, for a time, the most popular TF2 site/trading site.

I remember back when Sneeza was accepting ANYTHING for premium, I gave him a half used Dueling Mini Game, and had premium until they changed how Premium works on Outpost (Was about 5ish? or so years of premium for a half used dueling minigame, good deal!)

Sucks to see that its gone now, but then again TF2 itself is a dying game. And the trading side of it is just a shadow of its once glory filled self. RIP 2011-2012 TF2 Trading (best years imo)

I honestly don't mind ads, but when they're this bad its just way too much. Page loads way too slow. 6 adds alone loaded my first visit before I left, half of them are gif or video ads, dunno what they're called but they take a while to load compared to the standard ad

Seems outpost whent full greed on ad revenue. Sucks

Try logging out then logg back in / the same thing but leave and re-join the group

Noticed it happen to me this morning too, Knowing stuff occasionally breaks I just left the group, re-joined, logged out and logged back in that fixed it.

Could also be a bug that just fixes itself eventually, but the steps I took fixed it, if anyone else has this issue and sees this post.

Pretty much everyones is (or well most of the current donators) I've been using Outpost since late 2011, I probably will end up donating the 5$. I have a hard enough time remembering to bump my Bazaar trades, I just love the auto bump feature Outpost Donator has

Steaming Capos Capper, bought it from someone quick selling it in a server for 3 buds back when that effect was new, sold for a Towering Peace, sold for 4.5 buds PROFIT

i personally feel if they added a feature to disable comments in a trade if the user wants to. The amount of reports going in will reduce by a noticeable amount, some trades are just pretty straight forward. Set price, want to buy it or sell it? add em

Price go up. Sucks, but they do. Least on some stuff anyways

That's the market for ya, Gotta make profit some how, and as long as their trades are not extremely horrible like trying to get a 3 key+ item for under a ref or what not, I do not mind them personally.
