I can't blame the users for not offering up quality content when they're not seeing any from those that actually manage the site. I think it's quite surprising that the main critique being discussed is the 'users' aren't making enough content for the site to be successful. I mean, that's some crazy backward thinking. The ones whose responsibility to grow the community and build the site should be creating an experience that the users are excited to be more involved in and add to the greatness, not create the greatness. You can't offer little to nothing and then blame the community for not making your site great. Not going to respond to Targe's post, but look, we're still getting a fair number of new users. (go to a news thread or tournament thread and look at join dates and post counts for the users). I think it's a stretch to say the site entirely "sucks", but it does have problems. We still have the best strategy forum and liquidpedia is so good people like bts use it. LD is still moderated fairly well and you don't see much shitposting. Yes there's a lot less "community" oriented threads like the old TL had (like mafia or kpop etc.) but that's outside the realm of Dota2. Yes, I wish guys like phantasmal, sunfish (i enjoyed that drow/visage article a lot), and riptide (All-Pick!) wrote more, but I understand that they're doing this not for profit but from their own personal interest/enjoyment. | ||

We're trying not to moderate this thread too much since we want honest discussion. But come on... I dunno man, there isn't really anything being discussed here. I read every post and am no wiser when it comes what the fuck this shit is about. It seems people are content with how LR and strategy is on this site and the things other people miss is some sort of community activity. But since this site shares the community section with TL, why would we limit ourselves to just LD O.o So in reality, it's a classic internet argument where one side disagrees with another on a purely subjective matter and all argumentation is moot. Nobody can do write ups for dota tournaments these days, it's impossible to watch them all and have a life(even for a single region) | ||

The lack of community activity is something that, too me, needs to be LD specific. We do share the general forums, but we have the tavern and general discussion and those are good places to organize such things. To build a LD community feeling. Anyone with any feedback, please continue posting. I know all staff is following this thread and changed will be made because of it. It doesn't matter if you're upset and want to rant. Post it! (but please give us some advice) | ||

I've no interest in prodota anymore but I'd like to stay with this community. What I want is some way of connecting with the liquiddota community that doesn't involve too much dota >.> How does one achieve that? | ||
