On August 11, 2006, I was but a regular lurker surfing teamliquid.net on a hot, summer day. I was just browsing around, when I come across a particular thread: Canata live fan interview!! I took this as a once in a lifetime opportunity to ask a progamer any question I had in mind, so I decided to register. Unfortunately, by the time my confirmation and password came in, the questioning session was over. Frustated by the untimely turn of events, I typed out my very first post:

An epic first post on par with the Illyad, won't you agree?

I am ilovezil, Mr. 3000!

As I finish typing this post out, I'll have accumulated 3000 posts. Aside from a handful of other posters, this marks a point of longevity I never thought I'd have on an internet forum. In commemoration of my long time status, I want to reminisce upon some of the old gems buried in the recesses of teamliquid's history.

General Forums
Top Quotes from TLnet
This thread contains some of the best amusements found in the general section's past. It also gives you a taste of what Hot_Bid was like before he became staff.

Strategy Forums
IntoTheWow's Old but Priceless ZvT Guide
Who said ZvT on Luna had to be boring? ITW writes his strategic insights on the matchup and the map in this amusing and informative thread. Be sure to check its sequel out as well!

General Forums
The Testosterone Thread!
Back when the general section was in a pithole, (...) a certain poster decides he's had enough and raises the manliness level of thousands. Read for details.

Sports and Games Forums
Bigballs wins a big poker Tournament
A long time protoss player used to frequent these forums, telling amusing tales about his life (search:Bigballs). One day, he ended up winning a $1.5 million poker tournament. In the words of oddeye,

Articles
Progaming Incidents: Part 1
Part 2
Part 3
Part 4
Part 5
It seems to me not many people check out the articles section at the top navigation bar. There are some great oldies from the articles such as these progaming incidents and my favorite: Smurg's South Side thread that you should check out sometime.

Featured Threads Forums
Nokcha's Starcraft Drawings!
This thread takes Brood War as we know it and recycles it in the form of cute, creative drawings. A definite must see!

Featured Threads Forums
Style Will Set You Free by HonestTea
An HonestTea thread. If you don't know who HonestTea is, I suggest you search for some of his past threads immediately. This particular thread entails how intricate the game of Brood War can be, focusing on successful progamers' unique styles.

Starcraft 2...

That's all I have to say


And so, here's to another 3k posts, cheers!

I'm loving the pro-gaming incidents. So nostalgic.

The blog post actually did count towards my 3k. I know because I checked post history and my 2999th was right before it. Plus, this post counts as 3001

Woo! I was very impressed with the The Testosterone Thread!

We need to get a game. <.< I'll keep looking for you, but we seem to be missing each other.
