Hello everyone! I just wanted to introduce myself in this first blog before I begin to contribute to the community. I've been lurking on TL as an anonymous reader since my freshman year in high school, in 2005. I didn't decide to make an account for a while, and even though I did, I still did not post anything. Nevertheless, I still reveled in the entertainment provided through these forums.
I only play starcraft casually, like D- on Iccup, but whatever, it's a treasured game from my childhood and TL has done a lot to inform and enrich my starcraft experience. I didn't even know about korean progaming and whatnot until TL, and I was immediately fascinated. I didn't start watching the live games until recently, but the replays and vods were quite extensive enough for me.
I look forward to contributing to this community and getting to know you all. Thanks!

Tbh, I really didn't have much to say. I didn't want my posts to be a series of one liners, so I just didn't post. I mean, I didn't have enough knowledge of starcraft to give advice in the strategy forum or talk about it in the broodwar section. I guess I could've posted in general, but I was kind of nervous to share my opinions given how I've seen criticism given out quickly and en masse. I also didn't want to risk getting banned, even though I probably wouldn't have posted anything worthy of a ban.

Most people who don't start posting until after they have read TL for a while also don't get banned right away like some people who are just retarded.

Hope you can find ways to contribute.

Be warned NeonSky, being 'not enemies' with Cube will instantaneously make you and I mortal enemies destined to fight to the death if we should ever meet...so just think about that before you make your decision.

Yeah, I wonder how many people just lurk the forums and don't post anything. I know I do it a lot...

Welcome to TL, by another (semi) lurker! :D

I have the same mentality, and I also lurked a lot before.
Now I post a bit more often (not too often), and even make some blogs from while to while.

Glad to see you step out of the shadows.
