WAT IS UP TL!
2k posts. Now I know what most readers are thinking "blah blah 2k posts nothing to see moving on I have 5k+ lol". But what interests me is that I accomplished this very close to 2 year after my joining of TL (1k per year average). TL has been a place to relax, and talk about the one thing that interests me the most. Starcraft.
For so long, I've had nowhere to talk about SC, no one who would listen to me. No one at my school plays it, and those who do (very few) suck and don't even care about the scene. Many of my sc2 friends are making fun of me and saying "HAH BW IS DYING GET OVER IT!" Well those people can STFU, because they don't realize a strong community of BW lovers out there who still enjoy the game as much, or even more than I do. And for that I thank TL.
In these 2 years, I witnessed FlaSh's walk to the throne, where he still currently sits today. Watched the match-fixing scandal take place, with my favorite player of all time, Ma Jae Yoon, convicted. Watch the most heated rivalry between FlaSh and Jaedong take place. Watched KTs walk to fame with back-to-back SPL Championships (HAH TAKE THAT SKT!!!). Watched Proleague teams crumble before me, and the very fate of BW still unclear. Is BW dead? No. Not yet at least. When will it die out? This year? Next year? Couple of years from now? No one knows. But all I can say is that we can all say at the end of the day "Wow, we've come a long way."
Once again, thanks TL. This one year has been fun indeed. Let's which for a happy and fruitful 2012 with lots of FlaSh winning crap. Cheers TL.
Stats since 1k:
Bans: 1 2-day ban, 1 30-day ban <-- I hate myself a lot for this one...
Warnings: 2
Posts: 1k in 6 months
2k Resolution: Get the f better at posting (whacks myself on the head). Get C- before 3k.
P.S. What does it take to be a mod?

Happy 2000th!
I am almost there soon, hope I can hit 1k right on joining date.
And... BW FOR LIVE FOR AIUR!

It all begins, my son, with the rite of flame and fear. You are stripped naked and cast down amongst the chasms of the werehyenas with but a banhammer and a stylus, and with those tools you must find your way to the surface. The path is twisting, lined with cunning traps and werehyena ambushes. Some souls perish here, but many make it to through to the Caves of Darkness.
It is here that the true test lies, for, once weakened by the werehyenas a mod's heart can grow soft.. soft and weak. For when at last the light of the sun begins to shine in the caverns ahead, you face the final challenge: an LR thread. But not just any LR thread, for though even a normal LR thread can drive a man insane, you shall face something worse.
Far worse.
An LR Thread in which one race wins every game for 24 hours straight of MLG.
Few souls survive this, but those who do gain powers beyond imagining. Good luck my friend.

mmmhhmm, I am imagining a naked, sweaty mod laying down the law on LR idiots mhmmmm....

I joined the summer 2003 and has 0 bans and warnings. On the other hand I dont post in LR threads, maybe thats why.

P.S. What does it take to be a mod? To become a mod, you must first travel, in order to train for the trials ahead.
In the mountains, there is a man who can teach you the ways of the mod. However, he will not teach you without an offering, and will not appear to you before that, either. To summon the master, you must make an offering of the tears of a nerd and the blood of a virgin, which can often be obtained from the same source.
Leave the offering in a bowl on the shrine you'll find at the top of the mountain path. The master will appear to you. He will ask you what you want, to which you must respond, "I desire to be a mod.". If you say anything else, or the master judges you to not have enough conviction in your voice, he will quickly strike you, and you will find yourself banned for eternity. However, if he judges you worthy, he will take you on to train with him, at his dwelling hidden in the mountain. The details of this training are a secret, so I cannot tell you exactly what you will go through.
After the master has finished preparing you, he will send you on your way, but will first give you a disk-shaped medallion with the symbol of a horse inlaid on it. This is where your true trials begin.
You must now go in search of a present mod. They may be hard to find, or they may be waiting for you, it is always different. Be careful of which one you choose, as the oldest ones, and the ones whose hammers have tasted the most blood, are strongest. You will be able to tell who these are, by the size of their hammers. When you find one, show them the horse medallion, and challenge them for their hammer. They will be forced to accept your challenge, and you must now fight them in mortal combat. If you win, you will take their hammer, and become a mod yourself. If you lose, you will die.
If you manage to defeat your adversary, you will be faced with a choice of how you wish to continue. You may become a force for good, and carry on the task of banning those who would threaten TL, or you may become a force of evil, and continue to search out and challenge banlings to battle, absorbing the souls trapped in their banhammer if you deafeat them.
The choice is yours, and is a hard one to make. The lust for power is corrupting, and many are not strong enough to withstand it, but those who do, become paragons of justice and righteousness.
Now you know what you must do, so go, and begin your journey. Godspeed.

It's a tie between Nyovne and Manifesto7. They're very dangerous, and will kill ban you before you can blink.

I concur! And let's not say that BW is dying every second post; it's annoying and gets us nowhere.

Nice job!
I joined TL two months after you so I guess I have to post 1.2k in 2 months to catch up to you.
I better pick up my pace.

It helps that I did 2 1/2 LRs (making it 1 full LR). Try to do them, and your post count will skyrocket.
Hope to see you at 1k soon :D

Happys!
True dat, even my closest friends would say I played Starcraft 25hours a day (and even fapped to it, they liked winding me up), but when it came time to have LANs at my house, well, I would go mass Queen/Scouts against all of them together Team Mele on fastest and win...
I too am so glad to be able to discuss Brood War with a passion, I love it, it's so engaging and exciting I could never imagine watching 22 guys kicking a ball around or 22 cars screeching down an F1 track and being as enamoured.
About reaching C- (play with me!) I'd say it's not the most worthy of goals, but hell that's what I set myself too and looking back I do feel it was worth it, so I won't say don't try, just don't let it prevent you from doing things you prefer, in the future.
And what do you mean by a 1/2 LR? Reporting half the games in a series? In anycase, happys all around, yay we got friends. BW4LYF, just like SKT will always be BeSt KT <:
