shit like "cool (whatever) bro" also is getting really annoying. maybe admin should close registration for a couple of weeks, weed out the trash and then go from there. atm the site is much too crowded. another problem might be that most of the people who loved Broodwar are aged in their early or even late twenties now whereas the bulk of the new users who come here because of Starcraft2 are probably much younger. now I know that there are great contributors on this site that are very young (Frozenarbiter for example was very young when he first came here and I think konadora is also still pretty young) but still age might have something to do with how posting has changed around here. | ||

Though for one thing reading the Automated Ban list isn't as fun these days when it's just people getting owned for being stupid... | ||

Hopefully all the veterans put a little bit more thought into things before they hit the post button. I know for myself personally I can get a little to "one linery" which encourages new users to do the same... | ||

I think there are still enough positive vibes, the quality posters haven't gone away (yet). it's just being drowned out by the sheer amount of shit that's being posted. | ||

so I'm guessing that you've been reading the forums more due to SC2, and seeing these subjects more often. They get posted because they're popular, and they're popular because the demographics continually shifts. Unless you control the userbase, it's going to happen. Hoping it goes back is like older generations complaining teenage culture being sexualized at younger ages, wishing rap died in the 90s, and countries complaining about immigrants. | ||

I do think that the SC2 forum was terrible because new posters were making crappy threads as if this were the battle net forums. However, now that the behaviour is being weeded out, I think the SC2 forum is very decent. Blogs... meh, blogs suck. Too many are created every day. The NSFW stuff I am not in favour of either and I think that will stop soon. General is the same as always, just with a few more on going threads and less of a current events focus. That trend is 3 yeas old though. | ||

Thankfully, the new SC2 forum guidelines keep shit in line. The difficult part is regulating a huge site like TL in order to keep the quality of posts at maximum. But yes...as manifesto has already said, it is a dilution. I personally would like to contribute some articles or write something of worth someday when I have the time. Perhaps there should be some monthly article contest, similar to contests SC:L has done, to spur community participation. | ||

To me, it's fine. The other sections like General still have quite interesting new stories and other stuff that can be fun to learn, which it's usually regulated better then blogs, so imo it works too. TL to me is a well working machine! | ||

Altough the Random pics that make you laugh, even if NSFW and decreased in quality as time passed, was a great thread. I for one love funny fails and stuff like that, but i dont have the time and the taste to go to failblog 4chan and other sites like that, to search trough pages of boring stuff to find a good one. There different people who lurk at different sites posted their favorites making it a really intresting and hillarious collection. Many sc-related pictures borned there as well, i think it is a mistake to have it closed :S | ||

When I think about I make a lot of one-line posts myself which would contribute more if they were not posted at all. Teamliquid is by far the best internet forum I have ever stumbled upon so it`s definitely the time to change posting habits. TL should probably go back at least to its former state, at least to a certain degree after the SC2 fuss is gone. | ||

OMG I hate these threads so much. Sometimes I don't see them right away too, but they are all by sub 50 post people, and they get responses so fast. Maybe it doesn't seem like it, but it REALLY feels shitty as a mod to close a thread that has two pages of replies already. Like... I just wasted everyone's time. But those threads are a goddamn cancer. | ||

General section doesn`t appeal to me personally either recently, but I think it`s more of an opinion since it`s just more of a shift towards different than towards bad.

Teamliquid is by far the best internet forum I have ever stumbled upon so it`s definitely the time to change posting habits. TL should probably go back at least to its former state, at least to a certain degree after the SC2 fuss is gone. I don't think this is ever going to happen in the future. As Teamliquid grows, the number of people coming in on a daily basis will continue to increase. It's inevitable that posting quality and overall forum quality deteriorates as overall members increase. It's just how it is. When things are nice and limited, everyone contributes and pitches in a little here and there. But when more people flock in, everyone feels the need to try to stick out a little here and there. I equate it to my Livestream chats over the months that I've streamed. At the beginning when I only peaked at around 300 viewers per night, I used to really enjoy sitting down and chatting with the sparse few that would talk in my chatroom. We'd talk about almost anything, from the games itself to whatever else was happening at the time. And it'd be nicely paced where everything was still nice and orderly. However, I nowadays get about 750 people per night watching my streams, upwards of 1500 when popular gamers/teams are playing. It's absolutely impossible with the influx of people to have an organized chat and share your opinions when people are just spamming random nonsense. When one person starts doing it, others feel like its appropriate to start doing so as well, and thus chaos erupts. It'll be hard for TL to go back to what it was before unless things change. Moderation'll have to kick in, and commoners like you and me are gonna have to contribute and set an example for newcomers as to how things should be done around here with better blogs, better threads, better posts. Till then, it's just gonna be a chaotic influx of SC2 idiots who feel like they know everything there is to know about the game. | ||
