Some graphic-designer with lack of Ds

Nice writeup! Most of the time I'm contributing in the "races" So don't know how far a silver coin is away with that, would love to see the secret society

Usually you will be better off talking to Liquipedia staff if you want to know about Liquipedia ^^

I'll always downtalk my contribution to this project, but it's nice to see the history laid out like this. The real heroes are cgrinker/ghostclaw/Aesop who made those early days of Liquipedia viable. Especially Aesop who became our first (real) head of liquipedia. I was just a caretaker which help put things in motion, it was those guys who made everything happen.

Thanks for writing this up, there are obviously a lot of memories for me in there.

Early days it was sometimes strange ... you sit there in the evening, editing pages of a project you had no idea what would become of it. One great memory is also the meeting at Freiburg in December 2009, where some of the "second generation" (Pholon, flicky and disciple, who did the major work on the second wiki skin) met up. (pics still up here)

Today, Liquipedia is the standard reference and is maintained with a professionalism and dedication that is incredible to watch and that was impossible to forsee in "my days". I am really proud of that and glad to have been allowed to do my small part.

A nice trip down memory lane. Another big thank you from me for all the volunteers early on who made Liquipedia possible and kept it alive.

Aesop and Plexa I'm sure both of you guys have some funny and interesting stories to tell about the history of Liquipedia, I'm eagerly awaiting the day when you have time to tell them.
