So my 1000th post was commenting on something DH wrote. Although I liked his piece I can't say it was a good use of my 1000th, so here's my redeemer. I'm going to talk about my history with TL.
When I first started reading TL I was just a StarCraft enthusiast. Barely playing, just stumbled upon vods. My first VOD was BoxeR vs. Blackman. It was cool.
I soon found myself watching JulyZerg and iloveoov, and searching for more details on them led me to TeamLiquid. At first I thought I'd be funny by posting crappy blogs and bad trolly posts, but that stopped when I learned to respect several things. Those things are the TL Community, the Automated Ban List, and Manifesto7 himself.
I accidentally clicked "Closed Threads" one day and finding myself face to face with the Ban List. That, honestly, scared the shit out of me and to this day still does. I remember thinking "I have to straighten up my act, be useful, or at least nice." I also remember thinking the forum moderators were complete hardasses, although I no longer feel that way.
So I straightened up my act. Stopped posting (for the most part) like a total dumbass. Started being nice. Started offering tech help to those who I could. Befriended a couple people on livestream.
And here I am 1000 posts later. Hope the next 1000 are just as fun. Thanks TL, for making me respect the rules.

Nah. It would be total douchebaggery to hijack El.Divino's thread . I also was under the false impression that you turned into a lurker by 1000. I guess we still have to wait for lurker aspect to finish, and I don't think it'll be done any time soon.

well, it's kind of ironic when you get the lurker icon with 1000 posts, as usually lurkers are names for people who don't write at all, only observe :D
