December 2008 marks the start of the team's eleventh year of operations. Founded in December 1997 in the online tank combat game of Tanarus, Team Special Forces has existed continuously since then and has expanded several times into multiple games.

The team thanks its members, supporters, friends, and everyone who plays on our servers for helping to make this community the place to be for the past ten years.

After over eight years as the chief leadership officer of Team Special Forces, today [SF]Hairy announced his retirement. During his long and illustrious tenure, the team developed from being a Tanarus-only group of a handful of players to today's multi-game worldwide community.

He will be replaced as Supreme Commander immediately by [SF]viziouz, who previously was the team's Chief of Recruitment Operations. Additional information regarding the transition will be made available in the near future.

The entire team community expresses its deepest thanks and appreciation for the many years of [SF]Hairy's dedicated service and leadership. We exist as we are today because of his efforts and vision. He will remain on the team as a Contributing Adviser.

December 2007 marks the tenth anniversary of the founding of Team Special Forces, which occurred in the game of Tanarus in December 1997. In that month, [SF]Prodigy created the first team division in the game, which still operates to this day.

We have grown quite remarkably throughout the years and have seen many people come and go, but our enduring sense of community has kept us going for all these years. We thank everyone who has been a part of our remarkable history.

To mark the occasion, special events will be held throughout the month of December. More information will be posted as warranted.

Due to lack of member interest and insufficient recruitment, it has been decided to end our involvement in the game Enemy Territory: Quake Wars. This will take immediate effect and applications for this game will no longer be accepted.

We welcome you to our freshly-designed website! It was decided to update our website design in advance of the upcoming tenth anniversary of the team's founding that will happen this December.

Team members [SF]Magician and [SF]eddiethink worked on the new design, with [SF]eddiethink creating our new website banner.

In the coming days any remaining depreciated website content will be updated, but for now we invite you to leave any comments on our forum.
