Hello fellow Team Liquidians :D

I first stumbled upon to TL.Net a couple months ago (I haven't been following/playing SC for very long). Ever since I found TL, I have been constantly visiting this site! It quickly became my most visited page on Google Chrome. I even bought the TL shirt (woot woot). A lot of times I find myself having 2-3 internet tabs open at a time...and all of them are TL.Net. Whether it's watching streams, reading strategy threads, or just reading about random things, I always find myself on this site. TL has truly built an amazing Starcraft community here. I just wanted to let everyone in this community know how much their efforts are appreciated. This site has added so much to my Starcraft 2 experience. Keep up the good work :D

TL Fighting!

Edit: Sorry for not putting it in the right section. Thanks Mods <3

Yeah, me to I always keep TL open in one tab and then when I'm done on any other site I just go: "ahh time to check TL!" and then by the end of the day all I have is3 browsers with 5+ tabs of TL each

I'm slowly gaining the confidence to post more. I'm no Starcraft Gosu or anything. But I want to contribute to the TL community any way I can. Maybe this "blog" will help me come out of my shell xD.

It doesn't help that when work is slow my options are:

-Post on TL for 5 hours
-Play WC3 for 5 hours

Easy choice? Easy choice.

I tried posting on other websites like srk and some counterstike forums and they have horrible layouts

Sometimes I wake up in the middle of the night with no recollection of what I had been doing, a light blue t-shirt hung slack over the bedpost and a Flash/Jaedong fanfic on my open laptop.

Seriously though, I felt the same when I first came here. It is how I got a BW strategy forum ban though so the addiction can be very, very bad >.<. Not that I was addicted to posting or anything like that.... *whistles*

I do this all the time, sometimes multiples of the same thread. Also sometimes when I am on TL, I type TL.net in my browser out of habit even though I am already there.

Its always the first site i go to when i open up my browser.


EDIT. Just checked, refreshing does not count as visiting in the page info tab.

Don't worry if you say something that may not be "right" someone will correct you, and if you break the rules/say something inappropriate you will get warned and learn your lesson. I think the best way to be a good poster is to just post and spread your opinions and ideas, whether or not you're right or wrong doesn't matter.

Anyways, happy posting!

If it wasn't for TL, my sleep schedule wouldn't be aligned to Korean time and my grades would be much higher since I would be studying instead of browsing TL. Heck, I've probably learned more about SC in college so far than actually academics. Oh well.

Hahaha. My older brother used the strategy I mentioned above to quit star craft. He only plays single player now in all star craft games. And even that, he plays to a minimum. Before hand, he was getting some of the lowest grades possible in H.S. so in the middle of H.S. he figured out how to quit Star Craft. It's harder than smoking! D:

You know you're addicted to Teamliquid when you're surfing the Internet, open a new tab to go to TL only to realize that's what you were already looking at.

I catch myself doing this everyday.

If you're ever in the mood to be an asshole, don't make posts on TL. Instead go to bodybuilding.com Misc forums or 4chan, trust me.

I agree with Zeroes. TL is so neat and clean and easy to use that you easily get carried away when your browsing. You easily get to read about so much more than just Brood War and Starcraft II.
You should really blame it on the mods and the admins, and all those people involved with preserving high posting stadards on TL. It is those people who make the site so err... enchanting. There.

Edit: By the way, OP, did you take your name from this?
