Hello TL,
As the title of this blog suggests, I'm doing an English paper on TeamLiquid. And I'm having troubles rummaging through the vast archives of articles here at tl. I was just wondering if anyone could help and link me a few articles that cover the history of tl, its inception and its very early stages. I seem to recall a great article that explored the early days of TL and the state of the coverage of the Pro scene during that time (but I can't remember the name.) Any help/links to articles would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks for your time.
- Dr. Tran

Eh, honestly. I'm not trying to be an ass, but why don't you pick an easier topic? Is this a high school or college level course? I don't think a college course would accept a paper on some obscure pro gaming site.

obscure? OBSCURE? How dare you call the purpose of my existence obscure.
(I wrote a masters paper based on a case study of TL second language usage and got an A, so it is possible  )
|
College level course, we're doing a first hand research paper on online discourse communities (I'm at Purdue U, if that lends any credibility.) And the last thing I'd call TL would be obscure, I do believe (from what I've seen) that TL is THE one stop shop for everything SC and easily the most recognizable SC forum.
Oh and I didn't choose an easier topic because: I'm familiar with this site, I give lots of respect to the members here, I'm passionate about SC. And I *ahem* ain't no bitch.

And yeah, what Mani said
Side Note: Mani, if I could I'd buy you a beer.

Must a gesture of good will be met with such sarcasm?

If you are comfortable posting it I would like to read it when you are done.
(is what I posted in the wrong thread 5 minutes ago)

He's gotta be careful if he posts it in public. Anybody else remember that guy who got in trouble for plagiarizing his own paper that he showed on TL?
|
Osaka27174 Posts
No haha, got a link? That would be awesome if you had to long onto your TL user name in front of your prof for proof :p
|
what was that one person on teamliquid who pretended to be a girl, and everyone thought she was a girl, and she was like a freaking teamliquid celebrity and everyone here nerd fapped to her every post.
then turned out she was a guy, and she got banned so hard. this was a long time ago, a few years?
I forgot her name. would be nice to read a short account of her involvement and TL's reaction. I'd say it was a bad relationship. not gg. no re.

Wow that's hilarious, truly epic. Some things you just can't make up...
|
I could PM/Email my paper to whoever would like to read it. I'd rather refrain from posting due to plagiarism issues. But just let me know if you'd like to read it and I'll send it you you.

So far I have Mani, and d_so on the list.

lol I have yet to find one post of yours without grammatic errors :D
Good luck with your paper man. Team liquid isn't that obscure though, considering SC is still one of the most played RTS games around. And with the SC2 beta going and all

You know I've been a TL lurker for a very very long time and I myself have wondered, who owns the rights to teamliquid? Like really who makes the paycheck off advertisements and such? Is it Manifesto7 or waxangel? Is there a thread with the answer to this question? I just read the article posted on page one (great read by the way) and it still didn't answer my question...
Who owns tl.net?
Yes you can all argue, tl.net belongs to everyone. Its a community of sorts, which I agree... But whose is it really?
EDIT: I'll take a pm with of your paper That'd be quite an interesting article.

Nazgul and Meat own teamliquid. There is yet to be a cheaque from the advertisements, as everything just gets gets pushed back into the site.
