The reason why this new site doesn't work is partly because of us.
Liquid is user generated content,for better or for worse.We're just not that interested in putting in the effort to write quality content or what ever,most of us are here for the bullshit,which was GD.

I don't have anything against nazgul but I think he hoped that liquid dota would pick up more steam and gather fnatics like stacraft has in the earlier days since there is no central community hub.
But it looks like no one sees the appeal in being a hamster running the wheel for nazgul.People are shocked when someone comes up with "uh but why don't i get payed as a TL writer",and I don't necessarily think you should get money,but you should at least get something out of it,like recognition from the community or w/e.
Its not that it cant be done but right now it feels like there is no community so contributing to this website in a meaningful way seems like a very daunting task.

idk,i personally think you should bring back the bullshit that was GD,we were good at that at least.
i think bullshit is a very good soil to grow things on,eventually someone retarded enough is going to go on and write a "God of War" type of post.It's just not going to happen over night and shutting down stuff like GD is a very bad idea and hinders the growth of this site actually.
Just remember the type of bullshit that was posted back in the old BW TL days,some of those posts would get permabaned nowadays,but there were a few people that eventually got interested and invested in the site enough to generate content for it.

Basing an argument on site traffic doesn't really do it for me.

I'm sure kotaku gets a ton of traffic but that site is beyond shitty.

I'm not basing an argument on that at all. It wasn't even an argument really...

its not stupid and annoying and it clearly shows you don't understand the problem.
threads like GD don't create traffic,they create fanatics and people who are a bit deeper in and come to know people on a different level.Those type of people usually end up writing the original content that you need.
Your not going to get a random guy from reddit here to write a article for you constantly,you need to breed those type of people,and stuff liek GD is usually where you do it.
Theres no one bitching here about the lack of traffic for this site and if its down or up,were talking about who makes the content that doesn't exist right now.Guides and LR threads are ok but idk,theres nothing special about that.

Well it was. Ur argument was "GD wasn't an important part of LD since it's removal didn't negatively affect site traffic"

I understand the reasons MiR had against GD and I can at least sympathize even though I miss the fuck outta the thread. But talking about "traffic" is at best of tangential importance to users who care more about discussions and interactions than traffic. (this is on the assumption that traffic means page hits)
