Damn going through that waybackmachine is a trip.

just the little differences that made TL look different in the past ... how the side bar images were different the little changes that all added up to what is so awesome now. Cool to look back at where we've come from.

I am thinking of buying a new mouse and keyboard. Razer helps sponsor TL so I wanted to purchase from them, but I would like to specify that I am doing so because of TL. Is there a referral link I can use to order from, like with Amazon and HotS, or should I just follow it up with a tweet at someone who works at Razer and if so who would you recommend?

What was with the site downtime today? Was it just normal maintenance? I couldn't access it at random time all throughout today (so it might just be my end), and at one point all the text was loaded with this wierd symbol at the end of every sentance.

So I didn't know where to put this but while reading through the recent Orb dismissed from EGMC casting, I was thinking that if Mods are reading through posts and they find a post made by a writer to be a well written or insightful post that he should get a tick from the Mod. This system would work similar to reddit and upvoting, where when a Mod reads a good post(I guess good being in the Mod's opinion) he can give the poster a point or something along that line to let others who are reading through the posts know that maybe this long post is worth reading like the red font stating that the user was banned or warned for the post. You could keep track of the number of good posts next to the number of posts in general, allowing users who are unsure of a user's track record to note whether this user is known for his or her well written arguments on a matter.

Like I said I don't know if this is the correct place to put a suggestion especially considering I don't know if this is possible to do right now, but I think it would help the people who put time and effort into when the post on a subject as opposed who people just talk out of their rear end.

Thank you :D hope you guys have a great week <3 <3 <3

Website Feedback is where you would put suggestions like that, but that particular suggestion regarding any sort of post up/down voting is not likely to ever happen.

is your website self-scripted, or are you using any CMS to make this happening. because it works like a charm and im very intrested in using the similar recipe myself.

wacko: You are out of luck I am afraid. The site is self scripted yes, but with a healthy dose of wizardry to keep it running smoothly.

TL.net gems

In the last few days I've been exploring corners of TL.net I haven't been to. For most of my time here I stayed in or around StarCraft II General.

I now feel like an adventurer who keeps finding these amazing gems hidden in long forgotten or even closed threads in all kinds of sections of the website.

You have been here for a long time. You've seen things.

Would you share some of your personal favorites?

The following responses do not fully reflect the epicness of these gems. I simply cannot put it in words.

"You do not have permission to view this thread." Now I really want to know what it is
This is brilliant. The fact that he sacrifices the Probe-status TL user is priceless.
Such a shame there isn't more like that now!
This made my day! Seems very relevant right now.
I stand corrected. THIS made my day! "You'll find you can't build a gateway without a pylon... krrrhh"
I am now a Tyler fanboy!
Whoever decided not to close that right away was a hero! This is simply beautiful
Will take my time reading those

...and I thought I found gems.

Thanks motbob!
OK, the OP is one of the most hilarious troll posts I have read anywhere. I couldn't imagine anything in the posts would top that... I was horribly wrong!

u gotta skate

PS.: I want more!
