The Ultimate Guide To Quitting


"Yet another goodbye thread? Damn, not again. Just realize you are addicted and will start again in a few months."

This is very sad but probably true, but let's try a slightly different approach this time:
Step one:Take a piece of paper and write done every appointment you delayed or even cancelled for Team Liquid and Star Craft, everytime you set the alarm clock to be online at a certain time, every occasion where you think you would have performed better, had your mind not been distracted by Team Liquid and Star Craft. Every friday evening you didn't go out because you wanted to 1v1 someone.

Each time you try to log on to Team Liquid or Star Craft again look at the list.

Step two: Delete Team Speak account, don't tell anyone who is still using/playing Team Liquid/ Star Craft any means of contacting you. If you are using MSN/IRC/ICQ/etc. delete those too and create new accounts.

This is actually quite hard, as you might have made some friends, but there is actually no way to stop Team Liquid and Star Craft if you are addicted enough to resort to this guide when you keep hearing conversations about it all the time.

Step three: Burn the Bridges behind you
Everything you wanted to say, say it now. Be blunt, be evil. No need for cursing, but you can even do that if you really feel you have to(IN GAME ONLY NOT ON FORUMS!!). Basically tell everyone why you hate this game.

ex: "Muahahaha! I'm Tdot and I've been trolling you all, all this time" -thank you Aim Here.

Step four: Ask one of our awesome moderators to ban every forum account you ever created permanently

Step five: Go to C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc and open the hosts file with a text editor.
Enter the following line at the bottom of the text:
127.0.0.1 www.teamliquid.net

The effect of this is that everytime you go to that page you are redirected to the IP 127.0.0.1 which is the localhost: a blank page.

If you want to go a few steps further encrypt the hosts file writing properties with a truly random password protection (there is freeware for that in the net) and lose the password once you typed it in. Or block the internet pages in your modem (some have that option) and password protect changes to that section.

Good luck

I enjoy those goodbye blogs.
It's the TL- equivalent of cheesy dramas & I love cheese and drama.

The best part is you know it's not real, so you never take it too seriously.
NO ONE EVER LEAVES TL!

This stimey site is dead since quite some time now.
Last post in march 2010.

It was funny when it was alive with haters who got banned here, but as it is usually with sites that only exist to hate another site, it just died after a while.
People get what they get, this has nothing to do with what they deserve.

I'm not convinced that a hosts file edit is enough to keep you from tl.net, it's mere two keystrokes on my text editor to remove the entire line so that you can view teamliquid again. I'm pretty sure a 'by request' permaban can easily be undone by a request too, or just a new forum account.

A much more secure move is to just post something like "Muahahaha! I'm Tdot and I've been trolling you all, all this time", followed by a round-robin insult session of all the tl admins somewhere completely inappropriate, like in a thread about the Holocaust or someone's mother dying of cancer.

That's much more likely to keep you off teamliquid entirely for a while.

Lol... well its like, if TL/Star Craft is taking over your life and you are Addicted to it, then you may need this guide. This is for people that want to leave, but can't because they are too addicted.

edit: and lol @ the stymied conversation with manifesto.
