I've been a TeamLiquid lurker for almost three years now.
I finally made an account, first to thank the Small Vod Thread dudes for their efforts to get us the games we love.
I haven't played Starcraft in about a year and a half, and have no desire to go back. Starcraft II does not interest me.
What keeps me on this site for so many hours during the day is the personality of its posters. Rekrul is by far my favorite poster. His posts ooze personality. Up until TL, I hadn't realized personality could be demonstrated on the internet.
I do not participate in any other forums. I use the internet mainly for research, work and making money. I use it to keep up with the news. I do NOT use it to make friends. I do NOT use it to connect with people. I do NOT use it to make jokes, to laugh, to be myself--to demonstrate a personality.
But the members of TL do. And I applaud them for that. My respect goes out to you.

Tell us more of your observations about notable people besides Rekrul. It's always more fun to hear the opinion of someone detached/uninvolved.

Konadora -- relatively new (at least from what I have noticed). Such a sweetheart. Sensitive. Lovely. Hard-working. Don't watch your stream but thanks for the translations.
Clazziquai - Hate the band. Hate your music taste. Still, to each their own and maybe I'm just being stubborn.
NeverGG - I never understood photography, until I saw your pictures of progamers. Then, I checked out your gallery and saw some flowers. Fantastic. My girlfriend's into photography too. Secretly, I think you're much better.
Some dude named SuperArc - Not funny. Relax a little bit. Nobody's throwing matches. You know this, obviously. But every community needs an nitpicking pedantic. I thank you.
Off the top of my head... I'm not really into who posts what, so I can't really remember.
By the way... some of the writing in the blog section is fucking fantastic.

Will have to say that reading Rekrul's old shit was awesome. Progaming Gossip a few years back was pretty epic and helped connect and bridge progamers to us regular people.
Over the years, the site's changed quite a bit. TLPD is awesome btw. And the dedication of writers/translators/photographers/all the others that contribute that I've left out is simply incredible and helps make TL an awesome community.
Except for those trolls who need to get the fuck out and take a chill pill at times.

I think I lurked for 4-5 years

This is kind of an awkward thread, lol.

Now that you've stopped lurking, it's time to form your own tl.net personality ^^

RaGe and Chill are my favourite posters mainly because chill's posts are always so smartass lol. And RaGe's are so informative

You applaud people for something they do but you refuse to try and do the same? I feel an inferiority complex within you, along with potential social awkwardness. Let it go, just post.

Psychiatry is a respected profession. It requires a college degree and years of experience to do well. Where is your office? I'd like to stop by.

Sarcasm is a simple method. It makes you seem intelligent, or at least more intelligent than the person you are directing the sarcasm to. It allows you to shrug off the actual content of the post without having to respond directly. You make good use of sarcasm here, making you like every other typical asshole on the internet. Before you try again, I am not pretending that I am not one either.

Sorry. Here's where my lack of experience on posting shit on the internet reveals itself.
1.I was commending the people of TL for their ability to exude personality on the internet.
2. You tell me I have an inferiority complex for applauding ppl for doing that, and not doing it myself.
3. I tell you sarcastically to stop being a living room psychiatrist.
4.You tell me my sarcasm is just me trying to avoid confrontation. And that I'm an asshole.
5. I lay what just happened out for you.

I remember coming to TL few years ago... and seeing everything in Korean oO? I'm pretty sure site was light blue/grey and there were horses on the top...

Most admins are great posters.
Hot_Bid is a really nice guy and probably the funniest poster I've encountered and on top of that his serious posts are very good to.
Alot of other admins come to mind as being very good posters; Manifesto7 definitely being one of them.
Out of the blue names I really like JWD. Among other posters I appreciate are Incontrol and Travis.
Oh and Nazgul makes the best posts in the mma threads, really good solid posts.

Is this how streamed grudge matches start? :O
