Exactly. The thread was meant to take whatever branch it wanted from the tree he planted. He even said cheers implying we bought a round and can discuss what we think of APM and how it's being implemented in technology as some people are taking to the concept of it. | ||

The fact that jca reminded us of how amazing TL is, or that even the people who post stuff like "lololl all those warning rofl, epic" go on to talk about the razer gear? If this were a blog, I would definitely give 5/5. Well I think people going on to talk about the razer gear want to bring a different point of view from the ones found in the previous comments. | ||

Funny enough, the first practical use of APM had nothing to do with skill level. It was used to definitively prove a certain scam way back when. | ||

Basically, the lights on the keyboard or the mouse will change color depending on your live APM: APM Lighting I read that ad with a bit of "nostalgie" going back 7 years in the past, right here, on TeamLiquid.net where APM was invented: Who invented APM? Maybe some of you did not know about TL back then, but yes, this is the kind of impact that the TL community has on the world of eSports. It got Blizzard to add APM inside SC 2 and Razer inside its devices. Not bad. A round for TL It is amazing. I'm not sure if you're being modest, but isn't it clear that you invented APM? BWChart changed the game of Starcraft, and esports in general, forever. I'm a little uncomfortable with Razer cashing in on an idea it didn't create, but it does show the ubiquity of the concept of APM, and just how powerful a community can be. Cheers man! | ||

How did that come about? >.> I don't remember when specifically or what program was the first, but I think there were a few other programs like bwrepinfo that calculated EAPM in addition to APM. It was the result of community reaction to APM and a general consensus that spammers with 300 APM that can't win pubs on b.net didn't deserve to have the same rating as progamers. | ||

What i have to say: Asking "Who invented APM" is similiar to asking "who invented mph", or "who invented gravity"...you , dear thread starter would obviously say "oohhh i know that, that was Newton!!". But i say, no one did, it was there the whole time, Newton just gave it a name. Its the same with APM, except that there is no official "namegiver" to apm afaik. If youre the namegiver of apm, feel free to feel like newton... User was temp banned for this post. | ||

Read the damn OP. He's the one that invented APM by creating a program called bwchart. And there are no power-hungry admins, just people that don't know how to read or lack fully developed frontal lobes. On December 02 2010 11:24 Slims20 wrote: Why is there so many warnings? Bug or something? I have no opinion about APM lighting gear, as I do not want to get banned or warned. This thread isn't about the gear. | ||

There are so many warnings because everybody is talking about razer when the OP is simply commending teamliquid for inventing APM. | ||

Pretty sure the guy who created bwchart, the first ever program to measure and record actions per minute and call it APM, invented APM. That guy is this thread creator. If you (and others) read the OP more carefully there wouldn't be so many warnings and bans. | ||

The OP's description on the Razer mouse is: A) The main topic of the thread. B) A humorous anecdote. C) An allusion to T.S. Elliot's The Waste Land. D) An introduction to his main point. | ||

Seems like it is...anyway i dont like how your question is wrapped up in information about a controversial product (which its most likely to get discussed)..You trapped so many people with it by just jumping from one technological and game gear topic to "who invendet apm?". You even gave an answer or at least a hint for your question by stating that TL might have "invented" apm.. What i have to say: Asking "Who invented APM" is similiar to asking "who invented mph", or "who invented gravity"...you , dear thread starter would obviously say "oohhh i know that, that was Newton!!".

I think for your rather dim-witted question YOU should get banned...Man you cant start Threads like that, trap that many people (ok they were stupid enough to talk offtopic) and stay unbanned. I mean even if that "you trapped so many people you should get banned for that" argument is invalid, you should get banned/temp banned for your thread.. What are you talking about? There's no question "wrapped up" in the OP at all. | ||
