Hello everyone!
This may come as a suprise, but this is the second version of the backpack.tf newsletter! Since the death of the original, a lot of people have been uninformed about the day-to-day activity on the forums.
The first couple of days/weeks may be a little messy, and a lot will likely change over the lifespan of the new newsletter.

puddingkip doesn't mean any harm.

 

I'm confident in the fact that I did an exceptional job for 9 months. The newsletter made me a lot of friends, and it was a good run.
