Grobyc and T.O.P- Why do you think they stopped caring about posting so much? I'm really quite curious. Is it the new members? The new atmosphere?
Indeed. I remember when there used to be a lot of good threads going with some good discussions. Now they seemed to be drowned out by useless fan threads (picture of player Y in room A), useless posts ("Congratulations!", "X fighting!", "Y is so cute!"), and lots of vocal and uninformed posters. Pointing things out usually just leads to flame wars because someone's feelings may have gotten hurt.
What I really miss are the threads where new macro techniques / micro tricks would be explored. Haven't seen one of those in ages.
It's really great that esports has taken off and is doing well but there are some cons to go with this as well. SC2 fans are no longer the hardcore nerds we know and love but embody all kinds of people. It is unfortunate that you can't have a logical argument/discussion with some of these people without a Vancouver Canucks riot occuring. You don't see sports stars discussing issues with fans (and for good reasons) so I suppose this is the natural course for the community. I am guessing the "Fan Clubs" section of the forum will be expanded in the future to help segregate the types of posts but Team Liquid is so mainstream now that I fear it has lost that "hardcore" community already.

Despite all the efforts made by Samthesaluki, he couldn't compete with such strong player like Liquid'Sheth. His quick vote ended the very long and painful game.
Samthesaluki The Saluki was killed in endgame lynch!
Liquid'Sheth The Brazilian Jack of All Trades Conspirator has achieved victory!
And thus, random mafia number random has ended! Visit this for more!

I think TL needs a separate forum that is invite only as a contrast to the 'popular' forum.

There should be a blues/pros only board that everyone has access to but only for reading. I would read that every day instead of the random low masters guy talking in an authoritative manner about god knows what.

Mind blown. Leave it to Plexa to give us something we can't twist our little minds around.

This is pretty cool. Maybe its a haven where idrA and huk write love letters to each other and Sheth is a notorious flamer?

A lot of pros used to post.
Then the site grew and they got tore apart sometimes on the forums.
That's the unfortunate of iNcontrol's predicament D:
That's what happens when the site grows. A lot of pros post well thought out posts which make sense only to get bashed by people whom often are gold/plat/diamond or whatnot. It's just not worth the time to do that lol

To be fair Inc always got tore apart even on the WGTour forums lmao. Not everyone was a firm supporter of the USA-B warship.

People think TL is a bad community? Try checking out MOBA forums, where EVERYONE is a dick or a troll.
TL is an amazing community, and full of very nice people for the most part. IdrA's post reminds me of when Jaedong quit twitter (then later came back) because some asshole said he should stop watching so much soccer and focus on SC2. Just ignore the assholes/trolls and if you can't do that, just refrain from posting strategy related issues (seems what most pros in this thread are harping on).
Seriously, I can't stress enough how cool/amazing Team Liquid (community) is. You guys who bash this place really need to try going to other forums.

And yet, as bad as the GosuGamers fora are (and they're bad. Our comments sections really, really suck.) I've seen as many posts from pro players addressing issues of substance as I have on TL.

from what I've gathered most think people here are a bit too stupid to even bother also heard a lot of complaints about the very strict mods
it's too serious in here Mods aren't strict enough. It's kinda weird they have that reputation tbh.
Yes, and to be honest this is quite mind boggling. If anything, I find the TL mods relatively lenient. I guess people who complain about the alleged strictness of the TL mods don't have a lot of experience with discussion boards. Saying that TL is too serious might make sense if the only forums you know are Bnet and TL.

Not all pro posts are good I mean just look at Naniwa and Idra, they are biggest trolls

Just because other things are worse doesn't mean we aren't allowed to discuss improving what we have.

"people are imbeciles"
Great discussion on how to improve.
People will act however they want to act... don't really see how you can improve that.

Me too. Life would travel at a slower pace, but we would get to see some more of the pros/community figures outside of SotG and interviews.

Is "people are imbeciles" the only point you gleamed from all 12 pages of this thread or are you just trolling?
