It's kind of funny seeing "remember the good old days" posts from people who registered on tl after sc2 was announced :p

Many of us remember that day, and where we were!

Hey, a lot of us are nostalgic of the feel of the community from before SC2's release!

Man, RWA was soooo good. So much better than trying to sync the audio file before. 3,2,1 and go.

Actually, even with youtube around, RWA would be still awesome.

I hated Python

Like really hated it.

I thought it was awful and had no redeemable qualities.

Nothing compares to the WGT days. The days when bnet ladder was actually functional were pretty good for me too. This was when DT rushing was undiscovered and you could win 90% of your games from a simple build. I'll never forget them. Much love to WGT early season memories.

When I first started watching I think it was through some site ran by... ilovecats? SC2 something or other. Back then it was fine because SC2 hadn't been announced. The site went defunct a few years back. In the time after, I never had a problem with Daum, but I gotta thank all those noble souls who posted stream links or provided restreaming services (Corinthos comes to mind) in the LR threads.

You lucky bastard. I spent sooooooooooooooooooo much time fiddling with Daum and it never worked ever even once for a little bit at all. T.T

Anyway, Arrian, you'll be missed. I've always enjoyed your write ups :D

I get the sentiment, but not exactly in the same way that I want out of here.
For me, I appreciate this place with what it offers these days, but at the same time I'm happy to have witnessed the TL of old days, pre-sc2, when everything was less ... huge. It had a certain charm. Like remembering an old friend when you were kids and you were both innocent and untroubled.

TL now is like that same friend with some Ph.D. from a bigshot university, working magic in the corporate world. You're happy about it, but you're also nostalgic about the old days when things were more...quiet and relaxed.

i felt pretty amazed when only like 19% of people or whatever said TSL#1 was their first TSL... Really shows how much the community has grown since what seems like not long ago at all :|

threads go way too fast nowadays, there isn't much conversation anymore. memes are sooo annoying and what was once a family has become a BW metropolis where there are constantly thousands of people but nobody knows each other.
This is my truth, tell me yours!

TL is still my first and last thing to check. But man the threads run fast. SC2 forums always have one full site of new topics with hundrets of replies. Sometimes I see a topic and want to post something but there's already a gazillion replies and I just leave it be.

I remember yelling at sAviOr for always scouting right and praying for the stream to not lagg too much when the game starts. Streams were always smooth before the games :D

Reading battle reports and later download the vods over the tl tracker... I remember having the finals stream up on saturday and friends who didn't play BW come by to watch. Superfights man...where everyone praised Reach's hair.

It's ridiculous how there are like 50 user-streams sometimes...always a tournament. Everything is one click away.

I lol'd when I saw the first three posters. That type of coincidence just doesn't happen.

But man, I gotta admit, I sometimes feel like an old timer too, despite only coming from September of 08. I know there's way more oldies than me, but damn...there were so many things that now seem like forgotten memories....

Hell, the fail MBC game between Flash and Jaedong seemed so long ago too....even though it was barely....last year maybe? Or two years ago....I don't remember now.

I remember back when.. Crap I'm a newcomer. Can I feel old anyway, I mean 30 is past prime for a gamer right? I do think I know what you guys are talking about though. The defunct SCA website was very hush hush at first and a lot of people knew each other very well. Then it was announced big and SCA got enveloped in people. It was like a disease running rampant during the middle ages. The bright side is a lot of it dies down as time goes on; some people lose interest and some people just learn when to stop doing [memes] and write good posts.
