Recommended Posts

I all of this info by looing at the website using Wayback Machine

2012

[P]Early 2012

I started playing TF2

 

Nov-Dec

Scrap.tf was created in late 2012 by Jessecar96 (Jesse Cardone) and Geel9 (Joshua Coffey). To be exact, November 2012. The main features included Scrap banking and reverse banking. It also used to have welcome message. It read; " Scrap.tf is a site where you can fast and easily get the weapons or metal you want in TF2.

 

This site is powered by multiple bots that help you trade.
The bots both scrap bank and reverse bank.
You probably never heard of reverse scrap banking. This means you pick 2 weapons from out bots' inventories and pay them 1 scrap for both
"

 

2013

Welcome message was replaced by a list of bots and a short description of the website. The first bots included, Little Scrappy, A Scrapademic, Full of Scrap, Scrapton Hale, AppleScrap, Scrapta Claus, Soulbot, Penultiscrap, and Scraponomy Crasher. It also had links to some now non-existant websites like, shop.hexide.com (Hexide Shop) (it was created by a creater of TF2R.com, which I thin still works), and many more.

Dear lord, reading this makes me feel kinda nostalgic. I'm nearing my second scrap.tf anniversary, and I remember when raffles came out, how auctions came out and died (I'm still waiting devs!), so many new types of banking, and of course, just trading here. 

 

I'll probably leave TF2 someday in the future, but until then, scrap.tf will always be in my bookmarks.
