Exactly what the title says! What's your reason for being here.. since it's been oh, what, 10 years now? Since BW has been made? Maybe a little longer?

Aside from Korean Pro-Gaming, EVERYONE probably thought this game would just dissapear like any other game would. Therefore.. instead of asking why people just seem to love teamliquid, we'll ask..

[image loading]

Poll: What's YOUR main reason for being on teamliquid on the year of 2009?

I came for the starcraft, but I stayed for the community. Idk, it is hard to choose just one, as I frequent most forums here, so I just said boredom.

Actually gave it some thought:
- first first 4 years brood war forum almost exclusively
- last 2 years a little of everything

so I voted what brought me to teamliquid, the Brood War section; most my posts are in there anyway

My thoughts exactly.


You should make another option for "TLPD"
That thing might make it into the top Ten SC:BW Influences of all time (up there with Boxer, Forge-First FE, and Klazart).

For me? I dunno. This place is my drug.

I like trying to improve things. There is a great social aspect. I still watch Korean StarCraft, and where else can you talk about pro-BW?

I was here initially because of the pro-gaming news such as interviews, vods, blah blah blah... That's still the major reason why but I also have grown to love the diversity community and the fun events that happen from time to time. There are also some pretty smart people here and some posts can be quite educational and though provoking.

Also I plan on writing a lot, and contributing a bit to TL, so that keeps me sticking around.

I spend most of my time on here as I find TL is like a drug. I'm always on here if im at home, not sure how to get rid of the addiction. When im on, if im not lurking, I try to post for the most part constructively and in a way that i contribute, but don't always pull through on that one.

I like umm, work?

Anyways, this site is great and I'm glad the admins dedicate their freetime to keep it running.

Some sort of addiction I guess, you sort of feel part of something bigger than your self in a way by being here. Also the vast amount of collaborative knowledge on this website, I have learnt a lot on this website, it is constantly enlightening in the ways of the world.

This is also one of the wittiest communities I have been a part of. I come here to laugh.

I've got a lot of pple here that I can call "friends" w/o being the least bit ashamed.


Even... even me Haji? (Even after I ditched you guys in Paris? )

This too though. There are some staff who don't use TL anymore, but who I speak with often.

TL is awesome, that's why. I don't know which forums I posted most on, but I'm in TL because of TL, not because of a specific thread.

Hmm it is progaming news/commmunity for me as well. I like it here because BroodWar fans are usually fairly intelligent people. Some exceptions apply :O

the general forum #1

people on tlnet have a broad range of knowledge

from games, computers, science =\, music, movies etc.
whatever you want to know or need to know without acting too desperate, tlnet should be able to help you

when i first came i didn't even know a thing about the professional scene, i was just looking for guides on how to play X race, then when i found out about the pro scene i stayed and now frequent most days. i voted strategy lol, even though at first, seeing as tl isn't the "norm" for a forum layout it was a bit hard to navigate

i tried checking out other sc based sites, but the amount of swearing, noob bashing, general bm on them is just really bad...

Well boredom of course plus the community is very bright and has more then a quite a few cool peeps. I lurked this site + gg.net for almost a year before joining this site..Which I prefer all thou I still lurk gg.net from time to time when I get extra bored.

I used to posts on a couple of car forums when I was into car modifications but you'll be surprised how many ignorant people rant on car forums. Plus i've drifted away from car modifications.

But specially I am amazed by the wide broad of knowledge on the boards...

Edit: I gained my dragoon with this post!

We don't help people with zero posts here. >_>

Anyway, I would like to add that I go to TL because the forums are awesome, and not a cesspool of idiocy (for the most part)

I come to this website for the blogs mostly. I don't really care for the starcraft scene much anymore, but I stay involved in the community mainly out of my daily routine of checking websites. It has just become a habit.

I also enjoy TL Attack.

Love of the community and old habit to go here a couple times every day is the main reason. But when I'm here I focus on the things in poll somewhat like this:

Broodwar Forum: Go alot here and I guess this is the forum I've been visiting the most.
General Forum: If there is a fun top 5 thread that catches my eye.
Pro-Gaming News: Not at all. Wasnt really that much focus on it when I started lurking here and I dont care much about it.
Blog: Not much, dont care so much about other people. Heavily linked with boredom
Starcraft2: Scary place that I never visit.
Strategy Forum: Read it alot, I quit competetive bw before I joined TL and the strategy forum is most likely a big reason why I have improved without much practice.
Boredom: I'm not bored often and I feel the urge to come here not out of boredom but to see what is happening in the community. Some new showgame vs another communitysite or anything else that is fun.
I have the best fucking lawyers in the country including the man they call the Malmis.

1. First I came to learn build orders and strategy for Starcraft.
2. Later I came for intelligent (rather than Blizz's official forums) debate on SC2.
3. Then I got into debating politics and representing the conservative voice on TL (I still love this)
4. And I am just now getting into reading random threads and giving comments or advice all over the place.

True story: I was on TL, feeling bored, and I decided to surf some other sites. So I typed "teamliquid" in the google sidebar and clicked the first hit.

I don't ever come here expecting anything but quality, really. Which I suppose is a fair amount to expect but it's not unreasonable. TL always delivers so I keep coming back.
Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity.

Probably the low-point in my TL career to be honest. I didn't have any good reason other than being tired, and it was an opportunity that may not come up again. Sigh. Someday I will take kennigit out to slam jars and make amends, but until that

I'd say Brood war section mainly - I'm here to contribute pictures and say stupid stuff in IRC which Nyo will undoubtedly quote ^_~ I do enjoy reading the excellently crafted articles and some of the blogs though.
