Mossad has been re-opened

Three years have passed since Mossad has gone offline, We have decided to bring it back online to support the Team Fortress 2 community.

We welcome and urge you to use our forums in order to know each other, find long lost friends, and start growing.

Mossad is still under heavy development and you can be sure we will be adding more features all the time, but for now we hope you will enjoy our website and forum.

Our TF2 servers are planned to go live next week (around the 20-21st of December) and we plan on adding a special server in which we will hold clan matches, practices and pickups. Clans will be able to schedule time slots in advance and enjoy this server.

Anyone who wishes to become an admin can apply in the forums and each application will be reviewed and those who will be found fit for the job - will be contacted. furthermore, if you wish to help in any other way (programming, moderating ,etc.) you can contact us via the “Contact” link.

We hope you will enjoy this community made BY gamers FOR gamers, without any monetary thought involved, we are not planning on making any money here, the donation link goal is only to cover the costs… we will return any extra donation once we have gathered enough.

For those of you who don’t know what Mossad is, here is some information:

Mossad was founded by Eternal Bliss in 2001 to gather the TFC community into one place (by creating an IRC server), the community became big and had grown every day with new members coming along. After a few years atterdag and Zappatta joined the project and together a powerful server was bought. Afterwards, some TFC servers went online (including some NS, DoD, CS servers).

Due to many hardware malfunctions and lack of funding, Mossad was closed in December 2004.
