I'd be quite interested in a 'history' of TSGK! Smile

How did it come about (servers, name etc)?

Who sorts ya servers, are you sponsored by some secretive organsiation (it can't be cheap with the amount of servers you run!)?

Who were your first members?

Would be quite interesting Very Happy

SAMWIDGE

yes i agree Very Happy

TSGK Clan has been formed by 4 friends, Perrin_TSGK, TranSGeniK_TSGK, Cayman_TSGK and Osiris_TSGK in august 2005, we were playing all kind of game mostly HL1, HL2 and CSS.
It was a private clan and we had a private server that we decided to open to the public in November 2005 as an HL2dm with only dm_killbox_final gravity 400 (TSGK Serv III now) then the server become to be popular and we had to open a second server running the same map and same gravity, the first server wasn't powerfull enough to handle all the players, so we have trasfered it to a new box and then made it TSGK Serv III, so in December 2005 we had 3 public servers.
We recruited our first public player in December 2005, Sparda_TSGK.

August 2005: Formation of TSGK Clan by 4 friends Perrin_TSGK, TranSGeniK_TSGK, Cayman_TSGK and Osiris_TSGK.

November 2005: Opening of TSGK Serv I to the public, addition of TSGK Serv II and TSGK Serv III

December 2005 (end): The first non-former player has joined, Sparda_TSGK.
TSGK Stats was installed on our servers.
http://hl2mp.tsgk.com

February 2006: TSGK Serv IV our first TDM server killbox.
March 2006 (start): TSGK Serv V we began to run others killbox maps than just dm_killbox_final and we did our first clan fight on it with the BloodSuckers.
http://www.bloodsuckers.de

March 2006 (middle): We decided to open our first overseas server, TSGK Serv VI, because we had a lot of overseas players comming to our euro servers, TSGK VI covered all the east coast (and still covert it).

March 2006 (end): TSGK Serv VII, our first non killbox servers in TDM, running dm_overwatch and dm_lockdown at gravity 400.
Opening of TSGK Website.
http://www.tsgk.com

April 2006: TSGK Serv VI was full, we decided to extend our fleet to the central overseas and the west coast with TSGK Serv VIII (Chicago, USA) and TSGK Serv IX (Los Angeles, USA), running killbox only.

April 2006: The TSGK Team was arround 30 players, so we opened TSGK Serv X our sanctuary.

May 2006 (end): TSGK Serv XI was official, it was a mistack, we have just wish to test a new kind of server hardware, but we had announced it as XI so we had to keep it (the testing server wasn't even good, so we had to take a new box for this one), we were running some maps, we really didn't know what to do with it until dm_domebox_tsgk was released, it is now dm_domebox_tsgk and dm_donutbox_tsgk home.
Oppening of TSGK Forum.
http://forum.tsgk.com

June 2006: TSGK Serv XII our first very low gravity server running at gravity 140, very fun. Also TSGK Serv VII was too popular we opened TSGK Serv XIII a clone of TSGK Serv VII. TSGK Serv XIV was coming, a all arround killbox server.

July 2006: TSGK Serv IV was over crowed, we opened a second TDM killbox server TSGK Serv XV. We also launched TSGK Serv XVI wich today host dm_council_tsgk 24h/7d our first non killbox map done by Sadist.
TSGK Serv XVII was our Top 100 after a lot of request for it, the server was empty most of the time, so we decided to stop Top 100 only and move it to Atlanta, USA (in August).
TSGK XVIII our 3th non killbox TDM server running, dm_resitance and dm_steamlab at gravity 400.
We had more and more request to enter TSGK Clan by players, so we opened TSGK Serv XIX for tryout only and clan fight, today it host over 80 all arround maps, we still use it to for clan fights and tryouts but it is open to the public.
TSGK Serv XX was coming to extend our capacity at the west coast and reach some australian players.
TSGK Serv XXI extened our east coast capacity because TSGK Serv VI was over crowded.

During the summer 2006 TSGK was growing more and more, we had more and more fun, 1 year was done since the first apparition of the _TSGK. We also restructured all our existing servers.

September 2006: Extention of the TSGK Network to the Canada with TSGK Serv XXII located at Montreal, Canada.

October 2006: Extention of our overseas network with TSGK Serv XXIII and TSGK Serv XXIV, covering the central south overseas and the north west coast.

The end of 2006 was full of friendly clan fights with all TSGK friends clans you can see most of them listed there:
http://hl2mp.tsgk.com/index.php?mode=clans&game=hl2mp
Opening of the FFL.
http://forum.tsgk.com/index.php?f=75

January 2007: Ultra extention of our overseas network with 5 new servers, TSGK XXV, TSGK XXVI, TSGK XXVII, TSGK XXVIII and TSGK XXIX, the goal was to reach the level of the Euro network and offert the same fun at the overseas.
