Tips For Not Getting Your Thread Closed: Use IRC!

Hey everyone!

As you all know Teamliquid, much like Starcraft, has a steep entry level, making it difficult to get past that D.D+ stage of posting. Never fear though! As part of an ongoing series that I will update at some point or something I will try to impart some wisdom I have picked up in my stint here.


Chapter 1: That question that you really wanted to know:

I can relate to this. You see sometimes there is a question about SC/Proleagie/TL that you want to ask but it isn't worth its own thread. When you find that your thread is closed and your question unanswered you may end up being sad that you spent one of your 1ups on TL so early in the game.

Never fear though! Team Liquid has their own technology time machine that can take you back to the 90s. The IRC Channel has tons of people just waiting to help you out at seemingly no cost to the community! Check it out!


See you soon

"see gee are inker"

the last one would make the most sense pertaining to your position, but the most difficult to say

Maybe you should do an OP on how to not get your thread hijacked next.

I rarely find that the case, personally. Are you spamming, using all caps, or asking incredibly stupid questions? (No offense, but some questions are pretty stupid and can easily be found out at this incredible resource called GOOGLE.)

IRC has always been pretty damned helpful to me, you just have to wade through the typical IRC trollolols and other chat going on, etc.; but that's just the nature of an internet chat...

Also, See Grinker.

If you have a real question and you have already tried to use google and the search function on this site and came up empty, feel free to send me a query on IRC.

I'm glad to help but IRC and/or site staff is not there to do your work for you.

the IRC community is a special one. It is becoming a little crowded with the sc2 crowd. we should seperate out SC2 irc, and just general tl tomfoolery IRC imo.

come hang with me @ irc

I was more referring to things like "I can't track down this image that was on TL" or "What's up with some TL lore thing?" etc


There are things that aren't documented well on the internet as far as TL history and Progaming stuff that is only known by people here because they've been around long enough.

the trick is to phrase your question as a statement, because internet people are unable to ignore you when you're wrong

so if you wanna know, for example, how many OSL titles Nada has, you just type 'Nada has 3 OSL titles.'

if you guessed right, nobody will respond. if you guessed wrong, half the channel will correct you and call you an idiot in 0.7 seconds flat
