As someone who watched the vast majority of those VODs, thank you. Proleague wouldn't exist in my world without you.

This question goes to all of the mods.
What event/site upgrade/detail about teamliquid are you most proud about?
What personal contribution to the site are you the most proud off?
What is the furthest you have gone from home to a StarCraft event (or liquid meeting)? From where to where and how many km is that? I'm only an ex-writer but I still feel like I can answer this question!
For Teamliquid, there's frankly not a larger feat than the combo of TLPD and nevake over the course of the last few years. Every time a game has been played, that game has been entered into TLPD, and for every time that game was televised, a VOD was uploaded onto nevake. That takes consistency, which is something a lot of other sites don't have!
Other sites can run tournaments on or near the scale of TSL nowadays. It's easier than it used to be, thanks to sites like uStream (although TL still provided its own stream for TSL 2). But the consistency of some of the features here at TL is something that isn't matched anywhere else in the Starcraft community. I won't give examples of individuals at the site who show this kind of consistency, since I'll probably leave someone out and they'll be sad.
I personally am most proud of writing R&S threads for so long (ever since after Club Day MSL) and for writing 9700 words for an OSL article once.
I have never been to a SC event because I am in Indiana.

- Zerg~Legend was posting about an overpool speed build being too powerful (before it was famous). I challenged him (offrace PvZ) and got fucking rocked.
That's it. Combat-Ex was nothing about proving his one strategy wrong; it was a grudge match in the purest sense of the word. I actually fucking hated Combat-Ex at the time we were playing.

What is the furthest you have gone from home to a StarCraft event (or liquid meeting)? From where to where and how many km is that? Well, this one is hard. I've gone from Calgary to Seoul/Suwon, but it wasn't JUST for a StarCraft event, I was already in Korea on vacation. Similarly I've done Calgary to Toronto for LANs, but I already happened to be going home to see my parents.
The farthest I've gone, just for StarCraft, is Calgary -> Edmonton. It's a three hour drive and about 270km. I've done Calgary -> Vancouver, which is an 11 hour drive, but that was 50% for Starcraft, 50% because my housemate asked me to leave her house for the weekend when I was spending my first week in Calgary (ie. didn't know too many people).

Who is the biggest mass ladderer among the admins? Is there anyone on the list who plays religiously as much as they can? How many games have they played :o?

What does TL look like through the eyes of an admin?

I doubt its Nazgul, he's the team leader but he sorta didn't play as much after that TLI back in early beta (where he got like 3rd place to TLO). I heard he's practicing up now for MLG but of everyone I'm sure Jinro or TLO or Ret play the most recently.

question, how is TL being funded...is it just via advertisements, or donations...or what
(as well as how is the TL team being funded too I guess...)...

Oh shit, I've got a very impt question. Can I post pics of puerto rican in sunglasses again without getting banned?

This was against me. I reached C+ that season with the id DvS)RecOrd. :-) cheesed me 4 times after agreeing that you would play 2 straight up and 2 cheeses.

I'm really proud of the TeamLiquid Starleagues, and how big this site has gotten without losing its soul.
As for my contribution, I guess suggesting the warning system, blogs, and getting some staff members on board. But most important, the IRC channel is my baby.
As for SC, I'm not that much of a travel-meet-everyone-nerd. I have seen some people in 2004 or something, but that is basically it.

I got a few: Who is Baller?! Has TL ever come close to shutting down?

Since the beta/release of starcraft 2 there are a lot of new users that has joined TL (including myself). Most of them always post something in strategy or comment on a strategy that might not necessarily be true or they talk like they were pros. Have you ever felt or wanted to say to these types of people : "You're so wrong noob. Let's play a game to prove it." (Chill vs Combat-Ex a like)? I do this often and people dodge. Can you implement a new ban criteria for getting banned if you dodge a Strategy Forum challenge? that would be glorious <3
One of my dreams is to implement a good grudge system. Unfortunately everything I can think of or have seen wouldn't work on TL because our community is too big.

My nostalgia asks: Does Mani still commentate? I miss his thunder.
Here's one for many: What tilts staff members the most? Spam? Hate? Lag? TDot?

Maybe not the right place to ask, but what happened to the SC2 wiki, there is no info left on things that were in alpha and got cut like soul hunter, merc compound etc, was it removed or do I just suck horribly at searching?
