A lot of good bumps lately

I think there is no doubt that TeamLiquid is the TeamLiquid of the internet....

I hope you guys never change this attitude, the moment this site starts being about profit it will loose everything that makes it so awesome.

You missed the point of Manifesto's "One million dollars" response.

I think he said that in Dr. Evil's style from Austin Powers. And if that guy laughed at him and said "sure", he'd reply "1 billion dollars!! mwuahaha!!".

Epic bump is epic. Seriously, I never saw this thread and it's truly got some amazing content and insight! Thanks for all the effort as always!

Don't do this please.

Yeah fun stuff. I was at WCG trying to discuss possible Hwaseung shirt deals with coach Cho when the guy from Kennigit's 1st story busted the meeting and demanded that all shirt deals go through him. He also demanded to know the profit we wanted to make off the shirt sales.

ManifestoCrusher- One million dollars.


From what I gathered from random stats posts (by mostly Rich I guess), TL is probably worth a lot more than 1 million.

We held a pretty successful party at the Marriott hotel last year during Blizzcon. Organizing that almost drove me crazy. But looking back I think it turned out really well and I'm pretty proud of setting that up.

I got to admit this was one of the most interesting and cool things I have read on TL.

I lol'd on so many things but this one thing in particular had me lol'ing real hard

"The longer version of this includes an hour long msn convo chill had with this person where all they did was insult each other viciously and the person wanted to phone Chill at work lol. DRAAAMAAAA…"

No one can out insult Chill

Epic read. Really puts some light on just how amazing the work you guys are doing here is. If only eSports was run by guys from TL. Just imagine how amazing it would be

Really great read. One of the best threads I've read on Teamliquid, especially since it deals with a different perspective rather than the usual SC pro-scene stuff.

Nobody has made a really serious bid. The value we assign TL as members, and the value percieved by people from the outside for a site that looks like craigslist v.2 (sorry coders >.<) is so far apart that it is ridiculous.



I have to admit, when I was first drawn to TL.net (years ago, believe when I was looking for a way to run SC1 in windowed mode), I was put off at first by the legitimacy of the site and it almost deterred me from downloading chaoslauncher since I felt maybe it was plauged with viruses or something, haha {as a result of the oldschool layout}. After spending so much time on the site though, I think completely the opposite now and the layout doesn't bother me at all. If anything, I like TL.net's layout as it sets it apart from the typical phpBB or vBulletin forum.

Thanks TL staff! I didn't know you guys all made $0 (and actually lost money) from this site, even the t-shirts. Your hard work and passion for what you do is an example for us all.

If you knew how ads work, someone actually does make money from clicking them or from simply viewing it on the page. The only question is who receives the revenue. Or it could be all spent up on web hosting.

this shows the spirit of TL and how its a site based on a game thats worth 10 bucks yeah just 10$bucks when have you ever had so much fun and time spent on just 10$.. the work done here is good because it is amateur and therefore it has a much higher standard bar your own.. there is no top dog that just wants things to go out no matter the quality..
thats why TL is what it is..

I guess I missed this when it was first posted. I am so glad it was bumped. This is why I fucking love TeamLiquid.

No bullshit. Just StarCraft, and fans thereof. Right through from the trolls to the admins.
Oh no

This was such a great read and I'm sorry I missed it the first time around. TL is the greatest site on the internet with the greatest community in video gaming. I hope the mods are as proud of themselves as I am. Way to stick to your guns and not sell out.

Day9 in the daily #100 said it's important to think the things you do are the coolest things in the world, and nothing makes that easier for me when it comes to being a fan of e-sports and starcraft than teamliquid.
good vibes only

exactly, that doesn't have to change.

It could actually be even more minimal while still maintaining a great look and feel.
