Obviously you made your point but NeverGG was unaware of WCG and the whole story, so it was all unintentional to call the cafe that way. nevermind. Can you define the TL's standards of posting? Do you think the quantity and the quality of the information in the average TL post is more important than the way this information is presented. I'm talking about the moderation in the site. Whats your verdict about it and how things changed in the last couple of years ? ohh right, thanks for the reminder. Quality of posting has gone down, but this is probably a function of dilution rather than the absolute amount of "great posts" going down. It's just harder to spot great efforts by users, so we're left with the impression that things are going downhill. (particularly to us old geezers of the site X_X) I don't think posts have to be long to be great, but fwiw PGR21 has some ridiculous post length minimum, plus new users cannot post for 30 days iirc. I remember back in 2006, I was deathly afraid to post at all b/c I knew jack shit about broodwar. IMO the moderation is really lenient now compared to the past. If we had the sc2 forum style posting going on in the broodwar section back in 2005/2006, I'm sure the banning sprees would have been epic. But I guess things can't be the same when the site is becoming so much more public, and once again has a sponsored team and the like. You know it's bad when many veterans and staff members (to be unnamed) openly admit to ignoring the sc2 forum because it is so painful to read. | ||

I like asking you questions <3 Watched any SC2 yet? Thoughts on the game? Are you hopeful it can live up to BW or still skeptical? I think my favorite shakespearean character would be from "A Winter's Tale". I thought that story was quite good :O. Thanks for the encouragement  I watch sc2 quite a lot actually. I'm disappointed at how unexciting a lot of the games turn out to be  I'm not sure if it's b/c it's hard to tell wtf is going on under all the graphical jizz, or if the gameflow just doesn't lend itself to epicness. That being said, I enjoyed PoltPrime's builds in the ro64, and the ro32 games have been pretty solid in the GSL. I'd still watch a Pro Broodwar match TvZ over sc2 any day of the week though. I have my hopes though! | ||

1. Do you have SC2? 2. If you do, can I add you lolz ;D 3. What are your computer specs? 4. If you don't have SC2, will you be getting it? 5. What are your feelings on the way blizz is handling DRM (ONLINE ALWAYS? WTFBBQ!) 6. No lan? What do you think about this? 7. If you don't have SC2, was the lack of online features part of your reason to not buy it? | ||

If you don't have SC2, was the lack of online features part of your reason to not buy it? 1. nope! 2. if I had sc2, sure 3. intel core 2 duo 2ghz 2gb ram, dell laptop. I dont really game anymore so this suffices for my purposes. 4. I doubt I'll be getting it, esp since none of my computers can run it. 5. The fact that you cant just hook up a bunch of computers in your friend's basement and LAN all night is really an erectionkiller . I understand why they're doing it, and that it makes business sense, so I'm torn. 6. yup, no lan is just so fail 7. I have to say that the lack of channels DEFINITELY demotivates me from buying sc2. | ||

Cause that's basically what it is. I mean theres a riddle thread in blogs. And a thread about tea bagger winning elections in General. I have more reasons. You know, I think I have to agree with you. . . . Yea, I definitely do. General used to be where to get the lulz, now it's definitely in blogs (which sucks b/c bumps dont show on the sidebar in blogs). Btw there have definitely been discussions on this whole general/blogs forum situation before (I think it was like 18 months ago). | ||

My brother molests me with Urien after studying RX and Messatsu ><. So yea, that style of yun is called "Shiko - yun" and Shiko refers to the sound phrase, "shikoshiko", which is used to signify masturbation | ||
