A Call to Everyone in the TL Community
I am doing a research project through Simon Fraser University, BC, Canada, which I have decided to focus on individual experience of participating in E-Sports. Whether that be as a player, watcher, caster/commentator, coach, or community member. As such I am looking to conduct a few interviews with community members.
Some of the main questions I am interested in:
-How often do you use TL.net?
-What is your main purpose for being a TL member?
-Which E-Sports do you watch or play?
-Would you self describe as a 'Gamer'?
-What is your favorite part of TL?
-Why do you enjoy(or hate) being a part of the community?
-Does E-Sports mean something more significant to you than just a pass time for fun or a hobby?
-Are you a caster/commentator/(professional)player?
-Would you like to be a castor/commentator/player?
-What do you think needs to be included to the TL site?
-What would make your participation in the E-Sports community increase/decrease?
-Why TL over other sites?
Anyone interested in doing an interview about your experience of participating in the E-Sports community can PM me for further information.
P.S. Feel free to discuss these questions in the treads!

-How often do you use TL.net? Every second of every day
-What is your main purpose for being a TL member? I need some sort of contact with the outside world
-Which E-Sports do you watch or play? All of them
-Would you self describe as a 'Gamer'? I would describe it as someone who actively plays video games, so yeah, that'd be me
-What is your favorite part of TL? I like that I can filter out LoL and Dota2, and I also like the good posters like QuanticHawk, Farvacola, NeuroticPsychosis, Shauni, and so on.
-Why do you enjoy(or hate) being a part of the community? I enjoy being a part of the community because some people don't have maps, like people from Iraq or South Africa, and I can provide them with maps they can download. I only hate that most of the people are short-fused mindless sheep with a superiority complex.
-Does E-Sports mean something more significant to you than just a pass time for fun or a hobby? "E-Sports" is meaningless
-Are you a caster/commentator/(professional)player? I am a progamer and part-time commentator
-Would you like to be a castor/commentator/player? Yes
-What do you think needs to be included to the TL site? I think TL needs to break out of the box of only video games, and organize a competitive eating team, and then change the site title to "StarCraft 2, Dota 2, and professional eating news"
-What would make your participation in the E-Sports community increase/decrease? The amount of money in the tournaments. I don't care about watching games for "skill"... I think that is really overrated, so the higher the prize pools are, the more I will watch. If the prize pools are really low, like less than 10,000 dollars, I won't watch even if there is the most amazing, ground-breaking, mind-bending play ever.
-Why TL over other sites? Because redtube and pornhub don't have VODs like TL got.

I like to put things on top of other things, for there shall not be a thing not put on top of another thing
-Does E-Sports mean something more significant to you than just a pass time for fun or a hobby?
This does not read like a carefully phrased question. Did you try to get feedback on the wording?
-Are you a caster/commentator/(professional)player?
I'm Protoss.
-Would you like to be a castor/commentator/player?
I sometimes do engage in hate trains, so being a Castor Transport would come in handy.

Ignore function and more filters
-What would make your participation in the E-Sports community increase/decrease?
Having to answer surveys, advertisment and hashtags
-Why TL over other sites?
there is no other active Brood War site, sadly
