Bit late (because i don't come here very much now) but want to echo alot of the sentiment. I always came here (well mostly TL) for the articles, the previews and reviews of everything that was going on in the pro scene. These have all but dried up and so therefore has my visits to the site other than for the wiki and the calendar. This has caused discussion threads to die also as people don't come here as a default. Like with the new ingame ad i saw it and came here to see a discussion of it that wasn't just Reddit spam, there was no discussion thread and with the lack of posting i didn't feel like i wanted to make one. I would love LD to get on its feet, need a place to discuss dota which is well moderated and not just QQ and whining spam. I don't know how to become involved but i wouldn't mind helping if you do need some volunteers to produce some content while your short staffed.

As far as content, this site has news, streams on the side, and upcoming tournaments, which is all it needs. Maybe if I was newer to the game I'd like all these in depth strategy things but personally I don't see any value to having them. Of the ones I have seen, I disagree with a lot of it anyway. When there were extensive write-ups for tournament finals and stuff on this site I always felt like the "writers" were noobs, so getting the right people to provide this content will be challenging.

What I do hate is having to go to a different site for Broodwar, Hearthstone and Dota 2. If somebody is only interested in Dota stuff there were filters for all of the other games so they could just see Dota stuff. I would be happy if they switched it all back to the same site and just let people filter out the games they didn't want to see.

I have the venomancer thread but I haven't bothered to update it in a long time. Thouh to be fair nothing has changed aside from people playing veno as core instead of support in pro games.

Reddit has all the news and discussion, JoinDota frequently pumps out news articles and interviews, NADota has shit posting, what does LiquidDota have? There's nothing besides the occasional article and even then that just gets forwarded to reddit.

I'm under the idea that LiquidDota should find its niche by interacting with the community through events. The community hero challenge was a great step as is the open 1v1 ban challenge. A formalized inhouse league not unlike NEL every few months would be nice. A replay analysis thread would be nice. A Staff vs. Community tournament every so often would be nice. These are things I feel the Dota community needs and LD could help provide.

I kinda want GD back, or a general chat thread -- sometimes I have really inane questions but have nowhere to ask it. >_>
This is as good a place to ask as any; was going to ask in Tavern but it's DotA-related yet doesn't warrant a thread of its own.

.... Where did the Vici Gaming & DK (and iG and everyone else's) fanthreads go? O.O
also: VG doesn't have any upcoming matches till Summit, y/n?

I will miss GD because it let me grow relationships with the people that make up this community outside of the website. The ability to talk about whatever crossed our minds in one central location encouraged friendships that persist today.

that said, it was an insular shithole. especially towards the end.

I think ur supposed to live in IRC for that or something

Which isn't my thing

You mean that wretched hive of blatant racism and the only place still living up to the ideas of GD? Yea, nobody should ever go there, it;s horrible!


I can't tell if you're joking or not, but that's pretty much what happened in the one week I entered the IRC.

Blatant nazism/racism/sexism and all the other bad isms, combined with lots of bad jokes about the sexlife of a 14 year old (kollin, fuck knows how he survived in there and what he's turning out to be), and a lot of talk about Planets, a game I don't play and do not care about.

As a regular visitor you probably don't perceive it that way, but don't be surprised when people don't want to join you there

And when this starts happening in the GD thread and 5-page long discussions about the word 'faggot' arise, it's no surprise it gets shut down. At that point the GD thread added zero value to the site and is more likely to turn people away.

I need to see a shrink twice a week after that much IRC exposure

Sorry I am 1 week late to the party. I really wanted to finish reading and get some sleep before posting/bumping this thread, but something got my attention.

What is preventing LD from returning to TL with filter options for calendar swapping and news articles?

Filters suck. We did a lot of research on it and the stats came back that people were not using them and/or they were confusing. Since that vast majority were not filtering (be it for lack of knowledge or because they didn't want it) it meant that the front page was massively stressed out and the sidebars massively bloated. There's a lot more than we can do with a dedicated site like this... but as I pointed out in my first post that hasn't materialised for a few reasons. We're still confident that this site will live up to our vision for it in time, its just taking longer than we would have liked!


So you (admins) decided to carter to an audiece that is too stupid/lazy to use something simple as filters and now we have this discussion about 'TL.net is about quality first'. Really?
Where are you expecting it to come from?

No, filters do suck. Filters were there more to please people that for some reason couldnt fathom seeing content from other games, but website design has to take into account that most people wont have anything filtered. Even ignoring the fact most people dont even know how they work, having everything on one page just doesnt work and it has to work well for people that do want to see everything.

That doesnt mean there werent other solutions, most websites just becomes portals with diferent front pages and layouts for diferent subjects. But filters do suck.

Web design shouldn't be driven by artistic zeal. When data demonstrates that the features are not being used by users, it is clear that the website isn't serving the members needs. This doesn't mean your users are dumbasses for not understanding your grand design, it means you should try something different and then evaluate it. The nice thing about running a website is that you can track what your users do, iterate quickly, and implement a/b testing much easier than in real life.

Additionally, for those of us that did try to follow multiple games, the calender was made completely unreadable. It was way too hard to tell what was what or when it started. Also half the time it felt like you were guessing at what game something was for.

Not to mention the stream list which was 18 kinds of terrible. I never want to have to bother skimming through all that crap ever again.
