I'm all for a writer tipping system. I've totally bought into the idea of paying nominal amounts of money to content creators I wish to support as opposed to viewing ads.
All of the questions geared towards earning money without the user needing to pay are either nefarious (use up my CPU cycles so you can mine eth? go fuck yourself) or completely against my ethos of block all ads and don't browse websites that hide content if you use an ad blocker.
Give me a way to support TL's Starcraft content creators. I don't really care for other TL games.
Also, I don't follow Broodwar but I answered that I do just so I could vote for more content across the board for the game.

Opt-in for dense ads:
I would opt in for this if TL would stop sending me video ads (especially the ones that have audio). These types of ads and slideshow ads are what get websites on ad block lists. Solve this and you can put 10 more ads on my TL page.
This, also, I would agree to the high density adds, the thing that would be stopping me from accepting that would be malicious ads... I think that if you guys can manage to get a good ad serving company with a good reputation of not having malicious ads that would make me do it

Instead of a writer tipping system, I recommend a poster tipping system, so that quality posters like me get the reward they deserve

I propose a system that reimburse poster according to their liquibet results, it's high time we get our retribution for all the time TL writers made us do the wrong bet

I bitched about it when it came and I still dont like it :D It actually reduced my TL.net visits from daily to weekly or less for a year or more  This is actually not true. The site you see on mobile is the same, the only difference is in the screen size. Which makes it, ironically, worse, because while I can "force Desktop page" in Chrome mobile, I can't let it tell TL that the screen is bigger. We bitched some more about this in website feedback when we found out the technical details, nobody cared anyway. I dont understand your point. "it is actually not true" ? I dont know what you mean. I cannot see the same website I do see with my PC. And that was my huge complain and is STILL IS. FUCK MOBILE VERSIONS OF WEBSITES. FUCK THEM.
It's a technical point, I think. The idea being that you're not being redirected to a different website, but the website has different style options being triggered using @media queries which change what elements are shown and hidden based on the pixel count of the width of the window.
You can see that effect on desktop by dragging your browser window smaller and smaller, at certain breakpoints elements will disappear. In other words, there's no mobile detection happening. So there's no desktop version of the website to send you to.
It's not an unsolvable problem though. A cookie or a column in the database could record whether or not you want to enable those media queries. If the flag is set to disable mobile styles, just don't include the stylesheet with the media queries in the page template at all.
Generally I agree with you, mobile versions of websites are usually poorly done and dysfunctional, in part because there is no great way of knowing the physical dimensions of the device, and educated guesses on the device based on other parameters become outdated as the technology changes. TL's is far from the worse I've seen though, many websites end up using 70% or more of the screen real estate for some banner or crap and leave almost no space for the actual content.
Even when it is done well, there's always a small cost from the confusion your users have when they are used to navigating the desktop version of the site and then mobile version forces them to relearn where things are. But TL would look pretty bad on a phone if you didn't do anything to the styles.

I think in preparation for Reforged wc3 should get its own subforum under other games. That's all I need for TL to stay my main forum for years.

Any news on this? Any results?
