The best we can do, however, is to GRAB THAT FLOOR with great passion, to tell those mods that we DO care about YY.com. we DO care about starcraft!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YaoYuan will never fail, YaoYuan Live and Die With STARCRAFT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
So you see its all about telling the mods that they DO care. Oh, and live and die with starcraft!
They do it because they are retards, not because they care about the site.
I think a new rule banning all morons who put "first floor" in the first reply of a topic should be put into effect immediately. It doesn't backdate, or whatever the hell it's called. So, if you did it in the past, you'd be safe, but do it again and BANNED.

If they like it so much then they can play it somewhere else, where it won't bother us.
Sorrow_eyes: even if the first response contributes something, it will still get annoying and dumb really fast if lots of people start including "first floor" in the first reply. So I suggest that you do not start.
Off-topic question out of curiousity.. Does the blue text mean you are a moderator? What about the reddish brown? Admin? Btw, I gotta stop posting so much.. I got a SPAM warning message.
dont listen to sickoflife on this one... he was been abit sarcastic Everyone can do blue text or red or brown. There is a code for it, like text or soemthing... I dont know it exactly but im sure someone else know. I still think that for about 1% of the TL.net's post with first-floor on it doesnt need to make this huge of a fuss... it shows passion of stupidity, i mean its stupid, but it has passion!

Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhh............. He's talking about the names being colored, not the body text. Blue is for news posters, and red is moderators/admins, I think. I'm sure Saro or someone has explained it before.
Haven't you ever noticed Drone, Meat, Klogon, etc, have red names instead of the standard black? And Rekrul has a bolded black name, because he bans people so much, and he also has the grim reaper thing.
This started (not sure if original) on Gamefaqs like 2 or 3 years ago. But it was always like "first"; many of these posts happened in CJayC's (the owner) topics. After that it seemed to migrate to other 'famous' topics and topic creators. Another thing about GameFaqs is that topics can only have 500 posts, then they are closed. So people would also spam topics to get the infamous 500th post and claim it by writing: "500".
I have never heard "first floor" or anything so that is all new.

The second one being even more annoying as he missed the first reply and posted "2nd floor" in his post. Seriously man, you're doing nothing but making yourself look like an asshole and annoying a bunch of people.
This is the second time you've been asked to stop. Please don't do it again.
