Reading the Nada thread and someone's blog about them being 21 (Holy shit old wtf??) made me think about when I first stumbled across TL some years ago, and it reminded me of my encounter with the infamous tl;dr phrase.
Back then, I had no idea what it meant. However, I did know teamliquid = TL, and I knew about the DDR terran (no, not Dance Dance Revolution, and not the RAM either). So, thinking that dr was just a lazy, intentional mispelling of ddr.... teamliquid ddr ;x (this actually lasted for about a year)
For those of you who don't know what DDR is... + Show Spoiler +

I once thought Testie was the best player in the world and made it my lifes mission to get a 1v1 with him. I knew he posted on TL and thought it would be a perfect place to stalk him.
Upon discovering TL I read a few news posts about korean pros, I realized how terribly, terribly wrong I was.
Regardless, he turned over to DOTA before I got my chance.

And then you discovered korean skills for the purpose of getting a 1v1 with the bonjwas!

too long; didn't read
I used to think Boxer was a Zerg player, because I saw a Youtube video named "Boxer's 4 pool". I knew that Boxer was some famous SC player, so I picked Zerg as my main race. Then I join TL and found out that Boxer is a Terran player...biggest SC disappointment of my life

I don't even remember what happened when I first joined TL... It was back in like 03? 04? I was like 13 or 14 years old. Man I have horrible memory :|

I just had a lot of bad strat forum posts I think. Nothing too bad as far as I know. I didn't know what tl;dr was for a while either, and I just figured out a couple weeks ago QFT more often stands for "quoted for truth" instead of "quit fucking talking" lol. I thought so many people were just random assholes hahaha.

I came here through a search for a protoss guide 2 years ago. I got to some random thread and it said watch GOM or something. So I clicked on it. :D

It was the gods' way of saving you from becoming Terran scum, and instead you were able to live a glorious life as part of the swarm. Where's the disappointment ^^

I thought oov and iloveoov were two different people. When people kept saying oov was so great, and then I saw this guy in the youtube vids called "iloveoov" I'd just think, damn that guy must agree.
