I don't think anyone blamed the community at all? The staff is taking full responsibility for anything that has sucked. My only point is that if people want things to be better then you can try to do so. Nothing more was said (unless I worded soemthing wrong or someone else said it?).

Nah, Emu, this wasn't a response to you. I appreciated your responses to my inquires earlier in the thread. I was more responding to users blaming users, or thinking the only issue with LD is users aren't creating enough content.

While user content is great, and a boon to the site. 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.

I am not blaming the community in any way. I am just pointing out that vague claims of "the site could be better" that are not in any way specific. If people want stuff to be better, show up and get involved. I would love to do more stuff with Inhouse games, but I am always busy on Saturday.

Edit: Confirmed that IRC is not the place to hang out.

Can the two of you stop posting unless it's contributing to the discussion (referring to the two obvious shit posts on this page). 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)

Dunno, it's not hard to do a summary of sizeable lans which LD has/had been doing but they aren't that interesting.

Agreed with what was written above, good summary. but this is great feedback to work with (and we're hoping for more). now if the thread is dead to you then let it be. there is absolutely no need for you to try to turn what, so far, has been a thread with quality feedback into something else with a shitpost like "Currently on IRC *screenshot* lulz we're so random!!!111".

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)

IRC people are the Illuminati m8, get your tinfoil hats before they get ya .

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?
