The Great Tagfreak Team Disbandment

The Great Tagfreak Team Disbandment
The Great Tagfreak Team Disbandment, or TGTTD for short, was the disbandment of every single team on TF in favour of new, smaller teams, in order to promote activity and have more team battles.

The forum was having an inactivety peak at this time, and many threads about Tagfreak 'dying' popped up. Especially this thread, where team disbanding is also discussed:.

Tagfreak was having an existential crisis. We dealt with it in the only way we knew how to deal with hardships: Make cynical spam threads about dumb shit and post radical ideas about how to help tagging survive:.

Then began talks about redoing the teams completely. Tiny teams were suggested.

It was then agreed upon to redo teams completely, since most teams had over 25 members in their member list, but only ~10 active members per team. Smaller teams were proposed, and stricter rules on frequent team battles and team activety. This was all done in an attempt to foster activety and bring new life to the site, since most people had agreed that things were getting stale.

Old teams
The old teams that have since disbanded were: Team Toxic Remix, Olympus, Furious, Nostalgia, Sector, Avant Garde and Epic Mafia.

New teams
People were already making plans for starting their new teams when a site-wide disbandment of teams was only in the early stages of discussion. It wasn't a surprise that the Sign ups for new teams came rolling in pretty quickly.

The first team battle posted after TGTTD was (((noided))) vs Haute Couture on christmas day, signalling a new age of tagging teams. This was highly symbolic and it is no coincidence that the holy prophet Oucho participated in this battle. Just like normal families were celebrating the birth of sweet baby jesus on this day, a bunch of weird people on a Tagging internet forum simultaneously celebrated the birth of new teams and a lineup where glitch tags could coexist with digital paintings.
