I suppose in time for Valentine's Day?
I apologize in advance for my dodgy art skills, if someone wants to make a better banner...


R1CH, the technological genius behind TeamLiquid. He works as hard, if not harder than so many people all over TL, and he has done so much to build TL up to what it is today. It would not be nearly the same without him.

Especially with the advent of TSL, and constant technical issues, him, along with TeamLiquid staff have worked hard to bring us the show that we anticipate; the show that we want to watch. Considering that it would not happen without him, I think we should all take the time to say to him, and to show him, how much we all really appreciate him besides the occasional "Thanks R1CH" in various posts.

He was the one that brought us today's TSL showing, the one that solved these unexpected problems, and he made the stream of TSL2, that we're all enjoying, going on right now possible

He contributes more than most people do to their day jobs and he deserves the appreciation for going through so much trouble, putting in so much effort, constantly fighting Murphy's law, and I say that we show show him how much we all love him, how much we appreciate him, and show how important he is to our community.

1/31/10: TSL2: Started on time, no problems! Okay, not quite. But smoother than yesterday!

Biography: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=74738 (Thanks Nitrogen)

Basically: Post your appreciation, and I'll try to compile some more content-filled posts into the OP. If not, a simple thanks should suffice (if you mean it!).


08:21:48 °(@R1CH) wow
08:21:58 °(@R1CH) my mom found the r1ch appreciation thread
08:21:59 °(@R1CH) wtf

Mrs. R1CHStanway (Thanks Carnac), we thank you for such having an awesome son.

once the TL staff was putting out a housefire because that's what we do and we thought we had gotten everybody out. but then one of the children said with streaks of tears across his ashy face that the pet gerbil was still upstairs in his stupid little wheel thing.

we were midsentence in telling him that there was nothing we can do when R1CH sprang up, and yelling 'NO! All life is sacred, and what makes us human is that we will do anything to save the things we love, for love is the platform upon which we build civilization, and civilization is very important!' he sprinted into the house. after about 5 worrying moments he came out burning because he had taken off his fireproof uniform to shield the gerbil. we handed the gerbil to the paramedics and when we turned around, R1CH was gone.

R1CH is awesome! Before I came to starcraft, I played a few Q2 mods, and definitely knew the name R1CH from all the Q2 modding/awesome server/client improvements he made. It blew my mind when I first saw that R1CH was helping out starcraft as well. R1CH is awesome :D
