A question, how do you guys fInd your way to team liquid? Do you just type a memorized address into the address bar (http://www.teamliquid.net), and whenever you do so do you type the whole address or does the engine finish it for you? Maybe you have the site bookmarked? or do you just have the site open all the time?
What I do to find teamliquid every other hour of almost every day, is type the ambiguous letter combination of t and l into the google search engine on the top right corner of the screen. And whenever I do the first thing to come up in the results is

Im sure I'm not the only one who takes this particular road to tl, but I honestly feel that I appreciate more so than anyone else the idea that of all the numerous subjects pertaining to the letters tl, this site, this place, is the one that comes up first. For some obscure reason that thought warms my heart after a day wasted browsing blogs and first hand accounts of savagely entertaining bans.
But of course that pleasure is a false one. Google learns about us, it takes into account all the things we've searched and builds this persona of us from which it determines what it thinks we want to see.
Team liquid is not actually the firstborn of the initials tl, it only seems that way to me and those that google deems to be just like me. Tl might stand for the name of a rebel or a king or a god, it could also mean a disease a cure or a wondrous program meant only for pc. It could mean anything, it could mean something far more spectacular than team liquid(sorry guys) but ill never know what else tl stands for, not without digging through 10 pages of search results, because google is so sure it knows me.
Ok im being a bit over dramatic but I'm not a fan of algorithms made for the sole purpose of pinning down who I am, what I like, and in doing so turning my online world into an online bubble all for the sake of convenience(mine and their own).

Well, what you asked for.
I have it bookmarked in my toolbar, alongside at least 30 other sites, so that I only have to click on the icon (usually with my mosueweel in order to open a new tab).
From my ~70tabs, the first one is always GosuGamers, I never close that tab and never open anything else in there and everything else is opened via my bookmarks toolbar.
Did you know however, that you can basically assign a letter in the address bar to a site (at least with firefox)? Simply type one letter, that letter, however, has to be found in the address or the site title for the site to be in the list, and even then there can be too many.
Otherwise, then select the page you want for it, and if you do it a couple of times, it will go up in the list until it's on top, so that way you only have to enter the letter and get to the first site the address bar gives you.

Same here, bro. I can also type [sfw] and get to that thread without using the TL search.
Chrome knows where I go, and it autosuggests websites as I type them. 99% of the time, it gets it right. I usually don't even need to type more than three letters, as well.

I never close it... I just open Firefox and TL is there ^^.

i have it in an app tab always open in ff4
|
either use chrome's badass autofill function and type "t" then press enter or use my TL bookmark.
I also have a bookmarks folder for TL mafia because it's a pain to navigate there from the main page.
haven't typed in a "www" in years.
|
Same as many posters above. T and enter. Should be the fastest way.
|
WHY IE ;_;
...
I have TL bookmarked of course. 
|
If I'm at work I'll just F6 and type teamliquid.net. You rarely ever need www. when typing a url into an address bar.
At home I just press F6 then "t" without pressing enter. Chrome has this weird feature that you can turn on; loads webpages while typing URL even without enter. Also have TL on Chrome's speed dial addon too.
|
I have a tl bookmark with a keyword of "tl." So I type tl and hit enter and it brings me to www.teamliquid.net

Would it impress you that those are my internet tabs at work?
Lol i don't get to choose the browser at work xD
|
I have no idea what that second last paragraph was all about.
But anyways, TL is my homepage. I never navigate away from it either - just open tabs for other sites.

I don't close my tabs so a TL one somehow remains, when and if I close and reopen my browser.
|
winkey+r
ff
enter (runs firefox)
usually it's already open. if not,
alt+d (goes to address bar)
tea (could just be t, but I'm used to tea I guess)
down
enter
/shrug
|
my home page is page 1 of the Nada's body thread, just sayin.
|
Because i'm just really suave like that, I write "tea" and enter at the speed of light.

I use goto.TL in the address bar, just so I can feel different to you guys.

TL is one of the 5 five pages that opens whenever I open up a browser.

Will save you ten days of your life if you're anything like me.
|
If I feel ambitious, Ctrl+L teamliquid.net
Otherwise, as may of the letters that I can type one handed easily + click (usually just tea or team)
firefox lol

I may be misremembering, but I think that its one of R1CH's magical tricks of awesome. I like it for the novelty ^___^
|
I have a folder named "Starcraft" in my bookmarkbarthingy and there I keep all Starcraft related stuff and links. www.teamliquid.net is on the top of that list ofcourse :p
|
t+enter on adress bar or click the bookmark lol
|
Homepage and always open. I can't remember the last time I actually typed it in lol. Must have been at school or something.
|
I've got two ways that I use equally often. TeamLiquid is set as my homepage ( <3 ), so that's the obvious first way. However, I haven't seen anyone else use this method: Ctrl+Space! I use Opera, and this beautiful shortcut brings me straight to my homepage, which of course, is TeamLiquid. :D
|
i have an icon on my desktop and also as a hotkeyed bookmark

Firefox and Safari are awesome as thats what I do too 
|
It's number one in Chrome's Most Visited and is number one in the address bar list in FF6B.
A click/ a t + enter- away.

I never knew that worked either. I just tried it, it's actually pretty cool. Testing now to see if it works for anything else.
|
I use opera. I have TL as my homepage. Then TL is also the first website in my speed dial.
|
Chrome Bookmark Bar. Next to it? TL Hot Threads and TL Hacker Database.
Then I have about 20 other frequently visited threads bookmarked, the rest of the time I just navigate the forum.
So I have about 25 bookmarks for TL. School? 3. SC2 clan? 2.
Hey you should post more in the ABL!
|
It's in my Opera speed dials, it works just like Starcraft hotkeys. I can press Ctrl - 4 on any tab at any moment and it will open TL. I also have Ctrl - 5 to display the "My posts" page so I can track the thread I posted in easily.
