*EDIT -- I am not a fighter pilot, not going to join the Navy. It was a Top Gun reference. Having a new position at work, and not going to have time to look after the server is the truth though.
------------
Hi boys and girls,

Firstly, I just want to say thank you for your support for the past two years. Thank you for being part of this little TF2 community on the internet. With your support we managed to become the number one TF2 server in Australia. Running the servers and meeting all of you awesome people is something I will never regret. It's probably the best thing ever happen to me, just slighly behind making money and kissing girls

Sadly, this has to end. As I've been accepted into advanced navy fighter pilot school. I no longer have the time to look after the servers and the community. I do not want to see PnR turns into one of those poorly managed servers. Servers like GameArena, 3FL and Games.on.net. Which is the reason why I decided to shut it down. Calling it quit while we're at the top.

Now, most of you guys will be wondering what will happen to the servers? DON'T WORRY, IT WILL STAY OPEN, because I found two new owners that will take over running the servers. I know both of them for a very long time. They're very good at what they doing. They have my total support.

The server IP will stay the same. So is the rotation, class limit and all the setting. Only difference is, it will be under a different name. Please see below for more details.

Please support these two communities like you supported PnR the past two years. Play on their servers and join their Steam group too. Show them the famous Payload and Grapes community love. Just like that time when the whole PnR community got together and raised over $10,000 to Child's Play Charity last year.

Anyway, here's what's server #1 and #6 will become:

AUS#1 Payload and Grapes - 203.14.173.215:27017
Will become: hat's TF2 - Payload
http://steamproxy.net/groups/hat_tf2

AUS#6 Payload and Grapes 203.14.173.55:27015
Will become: GG #4 - Payload
http://steamproxy.net/groups/GGAust

Please add the following two IP to your favourites.
203.14.173.215:27017
203.14.173.55:27015

Lastly, I've been told to end this announcement with the phrase GG Vendy. So, I guess this is for you Vendy.

So, that's it, hell of the ride for the past two years. Hopfully I can see you guys playing on the new community servers! Not quite sure what to do with this group with over 2300 members. If you have any suggestion. let me know.

Your humble servant,
- Rob

As most of you have guessed, Docminating's main goal (besides docking) is to make the whole Team Fortress 2 experience more enjoyable for everybody. And so we thought long and hard about what makes Team Fortress 2 so much more fun than other games. And do you know what we concluded? It's the people! The community! Everybody coming together and playing a game they love on Payload and Grapes servers.

And so we are proud to announce the "DoCminating presents the weekly super, mega, ultra, ninja, awesome, winning peoples, kickass, rad, doctastic, nice, happy, universal, chocolately coated, rare, Payload and Grapes sportsmanship award" Or the dptwsmunawpkrdnhuccrpags award for short. Or the DoCminating sportsmanship award.

What is this award you ask? Well, have you ever been playing a game of Team Fortress, and there is someone there who is happy to talk to, makes you laugh, makes jokes and is making things all the more light hearted. You are given the sudden urge to buy them a beer. But sadly internet beer hasn't been invented yet, but we have the next best thing. DoCminating's sportsmanship award!

Now you can nominate that person for the weekly award. And in return for their awesomeness they showed you, they will be awarded with a $20 steam game courtesy of DoC and Payload and Grapes.

Yip that's right, we will be giving away a $20 game on steam every week to people who show good sportsmanship, humor and non raging on the Payload and Grapes servers.

To nominate people is simple. Simply talk to one of the DoC members in chat, or write on our wall and we will take note and decide who deserves it the most. Maybe we'll set up a facebook page or something in the future, who knows.

The only requirements are - you must be a member of the Payload and Grapes community page. And you can't nominate yourself. We only take note of people who are good sportsman on the Payload and Grapes servers.

People to nominate -
People who make you laugh and are happy to talk
People who play the class no one else wants to play
People who congratulate good work and good games
People who wait their turn for teleporters

People not to nominate -
Rage quitters
People who swear unnecessarily
Snipers who taunt whenever they body shot you
People blaming others
People who don't wait their turn for teleporters and crouch
Headshotting and backstabbing Durzo Blint ಠ_ಠ
