I found TL after Longinus was introduced as a new map and was looking for a place to download it. Then I lurked for a while before making an account. I never really followed what happened around TL that much and have always flown under the radar. I've always tried to give back however, trying to make new maps, giving out some tips (mostly bad looking back), and doing live reports every so often.

I don't know if I classify as an old timer (semi-old perhaps?) but sometimes when I think back and remember the times when Savior, Nada, Anytime and all those other players coming out on lineups regularly I can't help but get a little nostalgic~
this is my quote.

july vs best ever osl 2008 live
rambling on irc over the course of all 3 games and how they panned out with tl was an incredible experience

however nostalgia is pointless
i'm pretty sure all of the higher-ups in TL are more happy that membership has proliferated as it has

Hmm... I've been around for a while as well... I literally grew up with TL and WGT. WGT is what really kept me around SC. TL was my second home. I think I started to view TL when I was like 14? I'm 22 now turning 23 this year. I won't lie, my maturity grew cause of TL. I look back at some of my old post and I think to myself, "I was a fucking idiot."

I got nostalgic enough myself that I talked myself into writing another FE. It's in the researching phase, being the phase where I annoy top level players until they give me informationz so I can write teh article.

I have been lurking TL and posting shittily (banned twice) since I was 14 (19 now).

Unfortunately I really have no talent to contribute to this website, so I just remain relatively unknown, except in the high thread. Always looked for a way to help out, but never had the confidence to submit anything.

I think my oldest TL memories are reading game reports every day before vods were widespread, cruising through afreeca trying to find BW, and getting mega gosu from BigBalls' Protoss guides.

And by the way the "good times" of high quality posting never existed

man the days of old TL are over.

i remember back when the strategy forum was actually really good. Chibi was always getting banned for some borderline pedophile crap. Hotbid would be cooking up another big troll thread. Frozenarbiter somehow had time to post in almost every thread and have something good to say. Motlkeywarding would come into some political thread 15 pages in and rape the shit out of it. Religion threads were 30 pages long. Baal thought he was the most badass motherfucker ever. Normal money vs fastest money discussion. then all the regulars GrandInquisitor, Manifesto, Nazgul, BigBalls, thedeadhaji, GTR, Fakesteve, Plexa, Incontrol, Leg, Midian, Rekrul etc lol

the days when there were no streams and i would F5 in the live report thread. the days of reach nalra boxer kingdom gorush nada iloveoov july savior then all the fuckin awesome highlight videos that came out every year. fuck


so many new guys around TL now and the old ones left =(


You forgot dronebabo trolling and getting banned once a week, and the various threads dedicated to unbanning him.

Looking at this thread makes me wish I discovered TL while I first begin actively joining Blood War community (which is far before considering I lived in Korea during youth), but I reconsider and realize I probably would have failed due to my immaturity & lack of English comprehension at the time.

I read actively in 2007 / 2008, didn't really post until 2009.

I kinda miss pre-SC2 TL. Especially blogs, blogs were fun to read but now there's a lot of SC2 criticism, pledges to get really good at SC2, journals of SC2, meh. I don't really like posting so much as I like reading.

But yea I loved reading all the old highlights of players, reading about Midas and Savior, Jaedong and Bisu, histories of teams and rivalries, it was all good. I never really read who the author was for each article but I'm sure I read several articles by the OP.

I remember lots of stuff from the old TL. I remember playing TMA a lot during weekends, fun times.

I remember the first PM i got from TL.net bot with the password to download vods (in like 240p quality) directly from toptalents servers (i think).

Also the first time I watched a FPVod, I wanted to be as fast as those progamers. BWChart came out and I had 50apm ;_; but i practiced till i got to around 200~ so proud :D

Hard to keep up with everything on the forums nowadays, I used to read everything everything here I think. Turning out to be daunting task to find everything for Pony Tales :p

This thread is so fun to read, really makes me wish I had joined TL earlier.

Btw, Arrian, if you did ever write a SC2 FE, that would make my week. Just realized we haven't really had a Starcraft 2 one after all(besides the release one.)

One of my favorite things to do while surfing TL is coming across TL, and just noticing the change in atmosphere from now and then.

Like this thread, just reading the first couple replies made me laugh, and seeing such a tight knit community really had such a great feel to it.
