Steam Covers everything.

good point. I guess we wouldn't exactly [compete/i] so much as just screw around, but with the added bonus of teamwork. I just happen to prefer 5v5 over big-team games, so i just jumped straight to that

Yeah... But I was thinking about setting up an exclusive TF2 group. Maybe as a sub-group? I dunno.

Can Steam even do sub-groups? That would be handy.

I seriously don't know, and don't have the time (nor want) to go looking for a sub-group capability. But it would be handy.
Speaking of which - Pl4t0, we haven't played TF2 yet.

If this were just about organizing a few events here and there, you're correct, we wouldn't need a second group. But unless Steam has some hidden capabilities I am unaware of, this is the only way to put a stamp on your profile that says "I am involved in this" and comes with all the bells and whistles of Steam groups. I guess it's more just an identification thing - we can say that these people are on our "____" A-team, and are actually somewhat dedicated to it, not just "Maybe I'll show up and play a round on community game night every few weeks".
When PC Gamer or Rock,Paper,Shotgun has group-wide events, I tend to get really dismissive - but when part of a smaller, more core and elite group that has a real purpose to its events, getting an event notice about a practice session or whatever carries much greater weight.
And don't worry, that main group isn't going anywhere, and like I said the extra group(s?) will be more about identification than being an actual spin-off group in any sense - i'm sure we'll still do community-wide stuff, and as that comes to pass we'll use the main group's event notice system.
This must be rectified.

Well when the mumble changes are made, we could utilise the custom rooms for each individual group/sub group as a chat room.
Also due to the flaw that steam groups are only available to people who have bought a game on steam and that some people such as me for example would not be able to partake in said group for that, so maybe a alternative to steam groups?

RPS has 10,543 members, PC Gamer has like 5800...we have 358 members. While I approve of your immediate optimisim, atm, I'm just spreading the word of caution, that it may unnecessary and confusing. Just saying.
