My Generation
Naw, not this generation X generation Y generation Z junk. I mean teamliquid generations.
I’ve been lurking tl since the last half of 2008. Finally made an account in July 2009.
And I was listening to the SoTG episode 38. Kennigit talks about how the disciplinary system has changed because everybody doesn’t know everybody else. It’s a far different experience from when I made my first clueless post because some guy worker rushed me with gas stack and I had no idea how to deal with it. Even in this stupid strat forum thread CharlieMurphy and some other guy bantered back and forth making jokes that people wouldn’t understand now, and would say was terribly inappropriate.
I joined tl when the SC2 forum was this one little thing in the corner, and FrozenArbiter presided over it. I sort of ripped off my name from Carnac, cause I thought he was cool lol. My normal alias was Froad. But ac sounds cool, so I made my name Froadac lol.
In any case, I did really like the atmosphere. Even if I was clueless as inside jokes were made, I knew that everyone knew everybody, and personalities were known. Now in this mob I don’t know everybody: not even close. (mob in a neutral way lol)
I joined tlnet just as registration increased for the much anticipated SC2. And I didn’t post much. So very few oldtimers know me, but I had seen them for a year >.>
Anyways, those were good times, with high quality of posting, and a small amount of bashing on newbies ^^
I was just thinking about it, and I can neither relate to the old-timers, or the SC2 wave. I came very late in the BW scene, and know many, but not many of them know me. The awkward period of late BW 
Now on sale are open box Siberia v1 for like 36 bucks

Yet I recognize your name, did we argue about something? Also I guess I'm kinda in this boat although I've been lurking much much much longer than OP

I'm slightly oldschool too, I guess. Now I'm also bitter.

I'm that new guy that wants everyone to like him D:
Damn you War3, why couldn't you have a community like TL!
|
What am I supposed to say? I was lurking even longer and joined later than you. Kinda sucks but that's just the way it is.
|
Flamewheel92 came about the same time as you, hes pretty well known. I don't think it really makes that much of an impact

Are we part of this too? Or are we the "generation" before?

How do you find out when you joined? I signed in on this account just to check.
EDIT: I joined when SC2 didn't exist and wasn't actually announced yet. It was a different time. No one wanted to say it but BW was dying outside of Korea. The foreign scene was being kept alive because we could follow the pros in Korea, but even the best (except for a select few, mostly from China) could even take real games off of progamers. BNET blew, it was all about Iccup...wow I miss those days. It was a simpler time. The community was small and although most didn't know me, I knew pretty much everyone over 1000 posts on TL...

oh you new school children. You have missed out on oh so many things.
You know how MTV used to stand for Music Television? And how the Tom Green Show was funny?
Reminiscing at the old school days of watching Wacky Races, Ahhhh Real Monsters, Wishbone, and Rockos Modern Life?
I remisicent when TeamLiquid and LiquidPoker was one. When the only foreigner in Korea still as a professional player was Assem. When Legionnaire stole JulyZerg's giant check at WCG. The times when Afreeca was just introduced to the foreign scene and I could watch pro games live for the first time ever.
Then I remember members of TeamLiquid who have long been forgotten. The members like linyu)wufan18 who would sneak into the playing area of WCG and swipe the replays and leak them to the foreigners. The unfolding of the ZiA being a guy instead of a girl after they said they were in a car crash and will never walk again.
I remember playing against Artosis, Slog, Nyoken, VCR~Mofo, ggdark, Theognis, Froz, Evade, and many others in WCG. Many players long lost and forgotten who I have shared many stories with. They have left the community for one reason or another.
I have so many memories thanks to TeamLiquid. Just imagine what will unfold in another 10 years.
will NaDa be a player of the past? A lost forgotten hero like GARIMTO[AKUTA]? maybe MC will be like Skeleton. Could BitbyBitPrime become the next boxer?
Many things will unfold.
But until then, you kids are so young!

Everyone's just talking about really interesting things ):
What's ADT?
Spam is a bad word D: I really hate it because it denotes negative quality of my posts.

Erh I dont remember when I joined TL, just remember I came here at Tasteless' plugging at GOM.
Think it was the august 2009, I lurked since spring though
Now its my favorite forum for like everything lol, dont really post on other forums
Wish I was here earlier... I imagine I'd have so many good memories... then again I was only 14 when I joined so people probally woulda given me Pokebunny/GTR jokes as soon as they found out (probally wouldnt but I coulda imagined it happen)

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say Anime Discussion Thread but I can't be sure + Show Spoiler +torte you post well, relax

I joined in Fall of 2008 so I get the same feeling. First got into BW watching JD vs fantasy OSL (MSL?) finals and discovering all the Boxer micro videos. It's weird that I follow both BW and SC2 scenes simultaneously but I'm sure there are many people who do.

I didn't realize the ADT was so popular enough to be considered its own realm of posting habits. I might have to delve back in there. D:
Problem is, I watch a lot of things as I am going to bed, so watching subtitled Anime is generally difficult QQ

Nostalgia is both wonderful in its memory and agonizing in its view of the present.
I too wish I had joined the community during my lurking era, but its no use chasing that dragon. Long live BW, we need our own separate TL.

Your excellent post is slowly being hidden by the pre-teen filth many current posters now seem to represent. (So I will bump it.)

Yeha, of couse.
Anime Discussion Thread, I don't post there anymore though.
That was my intention and that's why I put the smiley behind it.

That was actually the reason why I joined this late. I really hate advertisement and back then, I started to think about registration(been here since the second half of 2006 after all) but after that I buried that thought for 2 more years).

I heard talk of SC2 in the beginning of 2009 and ended up watching some BW casts by the good men at SC2GG. Soon i became completely enraptured by proBW and had long forgotten about SC2. Ended up joining TL late 2009 which i think was a few months before beta opened and have been a regular poster in the BW forums ever since.

Hm, don't do this. But yeah, it's pretty popular, at least among some people. They spam there a lot and some users have accumulated several thousand posts alone from this thread. So it's pretty much like the LoL thread or the DotA one.
Because you are too tired to pay attention?
btw: I actually started watching foreign Starcraft in 2004/2005 on TV but then made the switch in 2006. Eventually Broodwar got replaced by FIFA, so it was fine anyway.

I started to play starcraft very casualy 2000 or something. It wasnt until WC3 was released and I started to play it that i got involved with competative gaming. This was around 03-04 I belive. I still remember how the swedish community was all centered to Gamingeye. I also remember my biggest moment was playing Nightmare(DC) in a gamingeye tournament. The Fey vs Isha koth was awsome. 
I played WC3 for a couple of years and lost my interest in it for a while. Some time during 07-08 me and some friends in school started to play BW. We were like 20 guys playing fairly competative within our group. That was the time I joined Iccup and started to play there a lot. I started browsing tl around 08 but it wasnt until 09 that I set up my account. I have yet to register at gosugaming! xD
oh, In between all this Ive played a lot of Dota as well.
|
When I started to lurk apm wasnt even known/invented (until a couple of months later) and I really remember the WDT thing with ilnp/banana.milk oh the drama.
Best thing about the time when I joined was that you could easily read the whole thread before you post. I still hang on to that now and I guess it kinda hurts my postcount. If I stumble on a interesting thread today it might already have 8+pages and I just go sigh and go to another thread.
Another downside with the posting avalanche of later years is that since people only read the first and last page of the thread you can write a good post and then 95% wont read it.
I'm old and bitter.

I might doublepost but I just have to comment on this due to nostalgia.
A friend of mine beat SaSe in a gamingeye turney when SaSe just reached #1 on the gamingeye ladder. Unfortunateley SaSe had never heard of my friend and assumed he was smurfing and/or hacking and refused to report the loss. My friend then lost the next game in the turney and mistakenly reported loss in the SaSe game.
Get reminded of that incident when I see SaSe on sc2ranks ect nowadays.

I started playing broodwar in around 2001 when I was in 8th grade, and found TeamLiquid around that time. but back then, at least to me, it was "just another starcraft website". I remember I used to frequent SCLegacy.com back then. Since 2001 I would occasionally lurk on teamliquid (although I think I actually registered an account back then, but I have no idea what it was anymore), and then I actually started to follow the korean pro-scene around 2004-2005. I lurked then too and then finally registered in 2007 I think. Anyway, this community has always been awesome and it was especially great for brood war (I remember thinking watching live games on Afreeca and finding an occasional FPVOD was the coolest thing in the world. All these streams these days have really spoiled people )
Edit: man it's even crazier to remember a time when brood war didnt have replays (patch 1.07 I think?). I remember a huge division in the community at that time because people thought replays ruined the game because any newbie could just watch a pro's replay and copy what they did. I also remember spending hours at battlereports.com

Phooey I am part of this "generation" . Can't be an elitist about this one.

Feel ya man, i started lurking relatively late, back when bisu was batteling stork in some epic bo5.
I think i made an account pretty soon called 'boring' but i was SUCH a noob back then, it wasnt even funny. And when i realized it i abandoned that account. I think i wouldnt have done it if i was aware of portraits and such But yeah, im an in-between as well i guess, but i only got really active when sc2 came out so i might just be a sc2ling

This is so true I used to read a whole thread about something interesting but nowadays I don't even read them because if they HAVE gotten to about 8 pages by the time I get to that 8th page it's usually already at 12-15 just from the shear volume of people on TL now. When I joined this was kind of starting to happen but it has just gotten more and more prevalent as I spend more time here :/

Give the "Final Edits" tab a click, and take a look at the views of all the old articles compared to "The Elephant in the Room." My oh my this site has started generating lots of traffic.

Yeah and there are more threads now too. Not even FrozenArbiter can manage to post in every thread nowadays.

Joined in early 2010 because it was the first site that came up when I searched for "starcraft" which was this pretty cool game my friends were telling me I had to play. "Even though it's like 10 years old it's epic" they said. I didn't really pay much attention to the atmosphere at first but I could tell things were changing. My first thread I made was called "why I don't cheese" back when there was a huge debate about whether cheese was good for the game or not... it generated some discussion but in retrospect it probably would have been closed just a few months later. I did feel really isolated on TL for the first few months, I didn't get any inside jokes or know any of the long time posters. But whenever I encountered an inside joke I didn't get I'd search it and after joining the mafia forum I got to know some of the people who play there.
TL seemed really vast at first but after spending almost a year here it feels much smaller even with the influx of new posters. I don't recognize every single name in a thread but
I'll know a lot more people than I did at first and I'll be able to make those very same inside jokes that confused me at first. I don't know how many people outside of the mafia forum recognize me but I at least feel much more at home here than I did when I first joined. TL just takes a little time to get to know but once you do it's still a smaller and more intimate place than many online commnities out there.

I think when Kennigit talks about a time when everybody knew everybody we're really talking about a time before even I joined in 2005. Like, a time when Rekrul was actually a moderator here.
There's still inside jokes and stuff since most veterans at least recognise each other.

Thanks. At least most people knew most people generally.

I wish I had gotten into BW earlier, I started lurking here in late 2009 after my friend had introduced me to BW in early 2009.
I still miss CholeraSC, I don't know if he was ever on TL though, only know of him through youtube.

haha,but even now everyone(almost everyone) who frequents the BW forums know each other.
on the SC2 forums I'm look upon as the guy who "posts too much"(I really do).On the BW forums i'm just BLinD-RawR and (almost)everyone knows me.
lurking TL since '08.

No I still think of you as the guy who talks about how much he posts too much.

Anyone remember that epic story a guy told about his night where he was trying to get with a girl and there was a fireworks accident? It was long and unfinished, and later he said he was working on a book. I think his username had something to do with autumn?
