The main reason why I have a problem with you is the toxic attitude you seem to exhibit. I feel theres no way to expand tlih further if you troll, say things like ez game, etc. You are obviously allowed to have fun in inhouses, but not at other people's expense.

Edit:
Aintz I'm sure you're a quaint guy but the main issue I think is that you may be treating everyone in the inhouse as your friend. The issue that they they are not your friends, and as such may not take as kindly to your antics as you may think.
The main reason I make a deal out of this is because I feel the original TLIH was a gleaming banner of "competitive-ish games with non-competitive players". However, eventually due to the massive influx of players we had to resort to player drafting, which in turn created a sort of "club" of people who always got picked. Thus it became "competitive-ish games with competitive-ish players", which in turn spurns newer players away from the TLIH.
I think the main issue is the establishment of a "us vs them" mentality, such as in your post you treat "old tlih" as some sort of club. I want to create an excellent learning environment in my TLIH games.
As an example, in one game I played yesterday I had a solo wr against a trilane bot. The player was not trained in playing against trilanes, so he had fed several kills and seemed quite frustrated. We made it clear to him that this was just a friendly inhouse, and that his mistakes are extremely common and frequently made, but when we get smack-talked it really ruins the friendly atmosphere and, in my opinion, damages player retention in return.

An IH was setup. IIRC paper was the host, autobalanced 3 times and all 3 times tube and paper were on the same team (paper doesn't like tube). tube promptly informed paper that he had just smoked a a great quantity of weed. paper started the CM game anyway. Not that the vast majority of the people cared about the outcome of the game, but It resulted in the following:
