No where did I say the site sucks, I probably visit this site every day. All I said is most of the new posters suck, which they do. It's unrealistic to expect the posting quality to increase as the site becomes more mainstream, because TL is only going to get more low quality posters since the average quality of posting by your average internet user is very low. TL has some of the strictest moderation I've ever seen, but there's nothing to moderate in the strategy section. You cannot tell a non-top plat player his opinion is wrong or invalid, when they make up the bulk of the userbase and are following rules.
I also think that I brought up valid points about the strategy section. Two of the biggest and most active threads "Terran vs Protoss" and "Reapers are imbalanced" are something you would expect to see on the bnet forums, not from good players like Demuslim or Orb (he may not have created the thread).
Also, I like to really exaggerate my posting on the bnet forums. You should google my conspiracy thread on how the TSL2 was rigged for Idra to win (he lost in semifinals).

yeah figures, the moment I decide to go to website, is moment it decides that every1 found it too. I only went there for skilled sc2 player replays. big mistake. just a bunch of noobs in the finals doing play it safe strategies.
Id beat them, but whenever I visualize a great strategy, i end up getting trashed at 4 minutes because his immortal shot my immortal better, or his mutalisks drove faster than my stalkers. Or sometimes, he sends marauders to my base earlier, and nothing i sent at them lasts longer than 3 seconds.
MIGHTY PROTOSS WARRIOR GANG, all blown away like little wimpy idiots. talk about a bunch of losers. I played sc1 today and was shocked when my zealots survived fighting hydralisks. 2 zealots vs 6 hydralisks and they actually killed one. Good luck getting in melee range in time in sc2 before your zealots just clal it quits and leave the battlefield.
I laughed so hard when I read this part. Play it safe strategies? His own great strategies? I don't know why, but "his immortal shot my immortal better" just brings up hilarious imagery. If I didn't know better, I'd say he was trolling.
I didn't know mutalisks drove either.

That brought a tear to my eye. So excellent.

Bnet forums are so terrible.

Bnet isn't a challenge even for someone like OakHill...
that speaks volumes imo

I actually agree with oakhill a bit. I feel that TL has sorta gone downhill with all the new people joining. It's not that they are necessarily annoying themselves, it's just that there are too many of them which compounds the effect. Hopefully many will leave a couple months after sc2 is released.

well the strategy section has gone to hell even from last year :p

I actually hope most stay and learn to appreciate TL's spirit. They will pick up more information, make fewer stupid posts, and we will get a lot of new good members. As for the others, the infamous banhammer should take care of them eventually.
A similar thing happened when SC2 was first announced, although on a smaller scale. TL didn't turn out too badly after that, did it?

what.. do they have any idea of a better forum?

Naw, it wasnt you poke, it was 2 other people lower down who hate the layout. Your part of the post was fine (and i actually kinda agree), the rest (like people saying the forums suck and we are run by blizz) were people making outrageous claims.

Lol, good to see OakHill is still alive and well...and trolling

Lol they thought there were tons of b+/a- players actively debating strategy here before ~_~ maybe like 6 years ago. B.net forums have always been the king of terrible forums so nothing too surprising. Actually the digg and reddit plugs surprised me.
also wondering if poster above me will get tempbanned for that
|
lol this site is on digg and reddit for the beta keys? Seriously, TL needs to give poor little members like me a key because I've been here for a while and have over 15001600 posts! You guys know I ain't going anywhere with it lol, I'm a loyal TLer!!!

lol i love it when people have a "great strategy" but it's the game's fault when they can't win with it

In the flood of new comers, your TL e-penis is only as long as you have been here. The funny part, i haven't played SC2 once yet, and probably won't get to for a while.

wtf TL has sickest website layout ever, <3 meat and all behind tl ~

Who is this Oakhill character? He seems to have a history with TL to hate them so much...
