^ Awesome because of this guy, imo. <3


Just don't tell the sheep that he's been slacking off to chat about BW O.o.

Fakesteve? I'd give it to Incontrol, that mofo is huge dawg!

Seriously though, I would say it comes from the hard work and dedication from the staff who spend insane amount of free time here, working on new projects, keeping old features running and up to date, tirelessly reading posts after posts to prune the shite users, etc...

This place without their hard work and dedication would not operate as smoothly as it does.

TL is awesome for pro-gaming news. Don't go oveboard in general awesomeness though. Every fan-site, regardless of their affection think that they are the best. Teamliquid has good moderation but keep an open and critical perspective.

That being said TL has the coolest admins/mods in the form of FakeSteve/Chill/Manifesto

Those guys are like legit awesome people imo.

well it's still centered around starcraft discussion, there are plenty of other members who just like to hang out and talk to everyone else. I would think that it'll start to become more about sc once sc2 comes out.

Yeah.

People who used to play SC alot (but only play for fun nowadays) and follow the pro-scene, probably make up a big part of TL.

TL is awsome due to moderation. But I liked the site x4 better when I lurked and later joined. More drama and focus om the foreigen scene. The extreme focus on progaming that has been over the last couple of years has just been too much. I think I really got this feeling after seeingthis gem. While the guy is a total loonie it's kinda sad to see that some people may think of TL as a progaming website and nothing more.

But there are still parts of the site where one can have fun without that stuff. I have also met alot of really great people here and had alot of fun and got loads of help. I even think I have improved my skill from only hanging out here and not playing much.

I agree about the fact that there's no huge random signatures.

But the main reason I really like TeamLiquid is a combination of the diversity in its members, the layout, and the moderation.

All of the above packed together creates something godly.

Having been here since 2002, this Forum is by all means THE most diverse and intelligent gathering of peoples in all of Internets. What started as a clan web page turned into discussions on Politics, Society, Culture, Religion, Sciences, and ultimately Poker (lol). It is an amalgamation of world opinions and ideas and viewpoints that could never be shared otherwise. When I first joined looking for StarCraft help, I was amazed to find the openness and understanding that others shared.

If the best philosophers were alive today, they would all hang out at TL!

Seen TL for about 2 years or so and only joined up recently.

TL seems to be a forum where people share and interest but dont flame the crap out of each other with intelligent posts. Good posts = good forum.
