The people that makes the site tick are a bunch of IRL friends scattered around Sweden. The reason we run the servers is because we want to be able to play with each other without risking a public server being full.
It started with one TF2 server running Arena mode (tf2.muppfarmen.se). It is now running KotH most of the time. We complemented with a standard+custom server (tf.muppfarmen.se) running on slightly faster hardware.
When we bought Left 4 Dead last year it felt natural to run a dedicated server as well. Being interested in server administration, we actually started 3 forked servers (one private, and two public all-game-modes servers).
We started up four public Left 4 Dead 2 servers, within an hour of the release of the game (November 17th), and they are quite busy.
