The Brood War VOD thread is called that. The SC2 and DotA VOD threads as well. Now I have created a starbow thread with the same name. But why?!!?

You know when a Terran hovers their barracks over 2 SCV's on their ramp on FS so melee units can't kill them with only 1 rine defending. How would you kill off the scvs with melee units?

You can't, that's the whole point. You can do it with an overlord over drones too, it's just much harder.

I thought there was a way. Like spamming patrol or something faster than the marine draws aggro?

I don't know the answer... or the question. Are you not sure why the vod threads are separate, or what vod means? This forum is usually for strategy advice not TL history so maybe no one will know the answer to your question.

I see. My question was just, why is it called "Small VOD Thread" as opposed to "VOD Thread," "Brood War VOD Thread" or anything else? And if it was no reason in particular, are the other VOD threads all named "Small VOD Thread" because "that's what the other one was called?"

Because it's a very small VOD thread. You know, nothing special. Just a little VOD thread.

Besides people shoud not be posting on Small VOD Thread unless they actually post relevant VODs, making it even smaller.

So when it was first created... It was intended to be small? Because it sure isn't now.

It's like, you were born very small, yes? But now that time has passed, you are now significantly bigger.

That's how it works.

It's called the small vod thread because back in the day vods used to be uploaded as a series so each starcraft video ended up being very long and often over two hours. Then in 2002 Rekrul came up with the brillaint idea of splitting videos at individual sets which was actually revolutionary at the time. I guess you can say Rekrul revolutionized the way we watch starcraft. Eventually this thread was created to continue the tradition after the original thread was closed due to copy right infringments regarding audios used in a few of the videos.

We're playing malarky right?

Wait. So is that malarky or not? It sounds so convincing.

im pretty sure it is referring to the file size. the thread started up pre youtube being popularly used for VODs. the main other way of downloading the VODs on TL was the TL tracker, and the file size of the games were very large (but good quality). the first small vod thread were links to small sized VODs so that you could watch easier. then youtube became popular for hosting the vods and it carried on. if you check the first few posts the vods are actually download links.

But what if we both kill each other's last building at the exact same time?
