I registered at TL 8 years ago today.

Don't really remember how it was like back then. But it must be cold. It's the 1st semester of university, 1st time being away from home for thousands of miles. PC and Internet access were forbidden in the dorm for freshman. I was 17 and had to borrow an eligible ID card (older than 18) to enter a PC bang. So I must register at TL at a PC bang near campus. I spoke Chinglish, I made a lot of stupid threads since there weren't TL Ten Commandments back then.

I quit for about 2 years which were Savior's reign. And came back after March 3rd Revolution. Technically I've been with TL for 6 years.

Remember WaxAngel was the first admin who added me on MSN and we eventually met in real life 7 years later.

Remember always getting replies from Mensrea of my random questions.

Remember FrozenArbiter wasn't Jinro but a cute 12-year kid with long hair.

Remember old days when I didn't understand what people were talking about on General and how much I love General now.

Remember one TL female member with the most viewed photo on my long-gone SC album site eventually "became" a dude.

Remember dated someone from TL.

Remember receiving more than 50 text messages of live report of 5 TvTs (Silent_Control vs. Oov @ Gillette OSL 2004) from a TL friend when I was outside, couldn't watch live games.

Remember Saro and Mani weren't dads then they could start a TL Daddy Club.

Remember TopTalent kept his promise that he's gone and never came back.

Remember receiving a handwriting birthday card and gift from Cambium.

Remember imagining PoP and zatic were really cool programmers behind the magic of TL but missed PoP when I was in Paris and found zatic is so hot even just on photos ^^

Remember almost got banned because accidentally leaking a secret of TL.

Remember never made a post on either BW Strategy or SC2 Strategy (shame on me).

Remember there were about 11,000 entries when Hot_Bid asked if I wanted to help on TLPD, and I just added the 50,000th entry a few days ago. Cheers, everyone who makes TLPD happen.

Remember whining here and getting warm replies last time I decided to change my job 3 years ago and it all turns out well.

Now I decide to change my job again. I signed a new job offer today and plan to move to Hong Kong early next year. There will be less time for TL (and any other loved ones) but it's an opportunity I dream of. Probably the best one I can get before 30.

So hello everyone in Hong Kong

PS, some random photos...

Being relatively new, I don't think we know each other. However, reading through this post made me smile--as if I were able to personally relate to the content. We often think of teamliquid as a site in terms of its longevity and the changes/improvements that it's undergone in these eight years, but in doing so we forget about the people that have made this site what it is.

Happy eight years, and thank you for all that you've done!

I remember first coming here just after kal lost to jaedong and flash beat stork, and registering when Best was making his run at silver and the pretender annihilated jaedong.

I remember this one poster from China with a pink name would post translations kind of infrequently, but they'd always be a pleasant surprise.

Thanks for staying with this community...and contributing, unlike a lot of us (including me! XD). happy 8 years~!

Remember always getting replies from Mensrea of my random questions.

Remember FrozenArbiter wasn't Jinro but a cute 12-year kid with long hair.

Remember old days when I didn't understand what people were talking about on General and how much I love General now.

Remember one TL female member with the most viewed photo on my long-gone SC album site eventually "became" a dude.

Remember dated someone from TL.

Remember receiving more than 50 text messages of live report of 5 TvTs (Silent_Control vs. Oov @ Gillette OSL 2004) from a TL friend when I was outside, couldn't watch live games.

Remember Saro and Mani weren't dads then they could start a TL Daddy Club.

Remember TopTalent kept his promise that he's gone and never came back.

Remember receiving a handwriting birthday card and gift from Cambium.

Remember imagining PoP and zatic were really cool programmers behind the magic of TL but missed PoP when I was in Paris and found zatic is so hot even just on photos ^^

Remember almost got banned because accidentally leaking a secret of TL.

Remember never made a post on either BW Strategy or SC2 Strategy (shame on me).

Remember there were about 11,000 entries when Hot_Bid asked if I wanted to help on TLPD, and I just added the 50,000th entry a few days ago. Cheers, everyone who makes TLPD happen.

Remember whining here and getting warm replies last time I decided to change my job 3 years ago and it all turns out well.

Now I decide to change my job again. I signed a new job offer today and plan to move to Hong Kong early next year. There will be less time for TL (and any other loved ones) but it's an opportunity I dream of. Probably the best one I can get before 30.

So hello everyone in Hong Kong

PS, some random photos...

I must say that your English has improved quite impressively since '03. Good job on that. Good luck with your new job in HK. And of course, thank you for all the work you've done with the site. I'll never forget your pictures of Shanghai thread, even though the pictures are, apparently, no longer working, they were such beautiful pictures.
I'm never gonna know you now \ But I'm gonna love you anyhow.
