Because I stopped being consistent with my BR blogs. It's such a shame, I know!

On a more serious note, there was a nice spike after RM was announced, but Blizzard's complete botchery of the release scared any new and returning players and split the community (there are still folks on ICCup to this day). Can't speak much for SCII, but I believe the numbers are down there too as well.


Isn't it just because R1CH did something back in December that split 'liquipedia.net' site visits and 'teamliquid.net' site visits?

good question, not 100% sure, hopefully he can chime in. All I can say is that there was a really nice spike but RM is coming up to a year and there's still random bugs, lag issues (they introduced TR24 and that made KRs less interested in TR16 with foreigners), no 2v2/3v3 mm or ladder etc... I still play 1.16.1 unless someone only has RM which in 10-15 minutes reduces my laptop to a heater, enough that my laptop that it becomes really hot and will put off eventually (we're talking the chip getting to 90-100C!).

To staff:

Why do you think the traffic for Teamliquid.net has dropped so dramatically in the last 12 months?

TL.net has been relatively stable in viewership, only experiencing a slight decline. Our viewership is very closely linked to the health of SC2 and BW. SC2 has also been relatively stable this year while BW has declined from the hype after remastered came out. If there is a SC3 around the corner then these trends will inevitably reverse. Liquipedia was also moved to its own domain which may factor into publicly available viewership estimates.

Play BW and read old BRs.

On a serious note, realize that it'll pass and take it a step at a time. Try to talk to someone you can trust about it, that helps to ease the burden. If its something that you can solve on your own, give it a lot of thought and decide on a plan then go for it.

I did before posting here. The only line is that reference martyring is:

Don't be a drama queen or martyr. Our forums aren't colonial America or Tiananmen Square. "This is going to get me banned, but..." results in an automatic ban.

What if you merely insinuate that you will get banned. What if you imply that by posting certain opinions you will get banned, but without actually writing that you will get banned. or if you write "I would write x but that would get me banned so I will write y"

Just curious if there ever was a point where you ever had to discuss whether someone was martyring, in the same way that you may have to discuss whether someone crossed a line or not. Have the mods ever had to warn someone for borderline martyring? I can see a lot of edge cases.

Can i get an explination for why i was banned from bw strategy? would post in website feedback but there isn't a thread for this subject there. My bw strategy posts are consistenly above average and just cause i got flamed by some d- noobs, who may have abused the report function or something... doesn't seem right when i was trying to contribute and actually raise quality of discussion and debate with my posts and wasn't trolling at all. What admin did this? can't see anything that's helpful being done from my POV.

That second example is martyring to me. Saying “I would say X” is saying X, regardless of whether you also add in a complaint about moderation.

I have been reporting the shitty posts you've been making for far too long in the BW strategy section and explaining why they were wrong in the report text. I wasn't going to say anything but since you had the gall to make a post demonstrating a negative level of self-awareness here, I'd like to point out that YOU are the "d- noob" as demonstrated by your MMR, ICCup rank history, and your consistently incorrect posts.

You weren't raising the quality of discussion. You were an active detriment to others trying to learn the game.

I was just reading the best article in the world when I started wondering if any casting guides have been made in SC/TL's long history. Is there any casting guides that you know of and might recommend?
