Please move the Forums somewhere else in the menu... Even with all forums in the "general forum" collapsed (is that the right word?!?) I now have to scroll on my laptop to see the first threads of the SC2 Trourneys forum :p

You could give "Sports and games" an own section between BW and Blogs or something. The General Forum pushes the SC2 and BW Forums quite far down. Specially if you think about adding other games somewhen...

at the risk of being an asshole:

i don't like it -.-

tl.net was a sc:bw community site (the most awesome one)
then tl.net went to become an sc2 community site (logical step, i disliked it for reasons tht don't belong here and are totally subjective)

now tl.net is becoming a general gaming community site?!
...please don't ^^

Well let me tell you a few hings about the DotA community. Since DotA is/was F2P, every 15 year old idiot child could show off his bad mannerism's and he had the perfect site to do it on. GosuFlamers, also knows as Gosugamers to the regular people. The moderation there was sub-par and no-one really cared that all the stupid people were gathering there.

Starcraft 2 costs about 50 bucks, the exact amount of money that's required to filter out all those kids playing from internet cafe's somewhere in the balkans.

I really hope DotA 2 will not be F2P so I can discuss everything DotA 2 related HERE, on my favorite site, without some brainless douche calling me names because he doesn't agree with me.

You know what the SC2 community looks like outside of TL

? Pretty much the same as every other game.

I agree with this guy in my personal feeling of the spirit of the website. Might hurt a little less if BW wasn't aaaall the way at the bottom, but that's just a small thing.

I also see TL's point of view though- they have a viable business here. Resisting alteration could kill that business. However, I really hope that the quality and strongly personal attitude of the website and it's writers/mods/admins etc doesn't alter too far as the whole thing grows. That would alienate many older members, (which I am, despite my post count).

I'm sure the DOTA/LoL players will love this though. It's an intelligent move.

Having well moderated forums for them is great news, since most of the discussion around them pretty much everywhere has a high chance of turning into flamewars and trollfests. With those prizes around I hope it won' t create unneccesary bubble only to burst after season or two at the lack of funds and interest.

TL's moderation might bring in more site traffic from forum goers who know how to appreciate it. Great initiative!

hmm, I dunno what to think about this move. LoL deserved the spot on the sidebar, since it has a history on TL(subforum), but for DotA 2 ... it seems like the money just served its purpose. The game gets so much attention, before its even released and I think it should earn it first.

Should just put LoL, HoN and D2 together in one forum, I mean why not? people could add sub tags [LoL] [HoN] [DotA2]. They are all basically the same exact game.
