If you're a TL veteran, you've surely noticed that the number of "Active" and "Logged in" have been growing steadily. Just a few days ago, we peaked at over 8,000 active users. For all you new users, it's not always been like this. Once, not many months ago, it was a rarity to see more than 1,000 users active on our forums. We've come a long way. In May, TeamLiquid will hit 1,000,000 unique visitors in one month for the first time in our history.
You're a part of the largest (and in our opinion the greatest) StarCraft community in the world. We've always felt that our greatest assets are our users and reputation. That's why we've never had huge, intrusive ads and why we have no donation button (though many people have tried, we've almost always refused donations).
SC2 will be released in just over two months. Many of you will be buying it. If you haven't already ordered the game, please do so through our affiliate link with Amazon. It's the same price, so it won't cost you a thing.* This way, a few of your dollars will go back into the community. It won't be a lot of money, but fortunately we're very good at making small dollars go a long way. Every little bit counts, and we'll use your contribution to improve our servers, content, tournaments, and other community-oriented activities.
* Note: For those wishing to participate in the final weeks of the beta test -- as of May 13, Amazon has run out of beta keys to give to pre-orders. You will not get a beta key ordering with them.

It's a bit silly that we haven't done this yet -- we're the biggest SC2 community and there's no link to buy the actual game! If you've already ordered the game or wish to order it from somewhere else, that's cool. But if you're still planning on buying a copy and want to contribute a tiny bit to TL, we would really appreciate the support.
Thanks,
TeamLiquid Staff

This is just a response to all those expressing regret for already pre-ordering somewhere else. If you already ordered, it's fine, don't worry or feel bad. We don't expect you to go back and cancel and re-order through us or something. Its just a dollar or two back to TL per order, and it's not like TL is going to crash if you don't go through some annoying cancel-reorder procedure.
Of course, we appreciate anyone that does, but please don't feel like there's some obligation or pressure, that's not our intent at all. We just figured, if you're going to buy the game anyway, it really doesn't negatively impact you and it can marginally help us and the community.
