1. A reply to this thread indicating that you are a gentleman and a scholar 2. A one time redeemable coupon for me to reply to one of your posts saying how brilliant your post was. This is a great way to boost your self esteem. Example: On June 22 2013 11:22 Chairman Ray wrote: What an amazing post! Rock on! 3. You get to choose the name of my firstborn child, provided that I ever have one, and that the mother of the child will not inflict any bodily harm on me. Restrictions: -No numbers, punctuation, special characters, or underscores -Random capitalization is okay -Would prefer if you did not select CombatEX as the name  | ||

But anyway, cool stuff, I'll probably grab a month to check it out! You should buy TL+ to get the All features so you can easily look up stuff like this. =D | ||

I'm okay with the idea of supporting TL and I understand that as the site grows, costs grow with it but there has to be a better way to handle it than this. Give me a donate button or something instead of this. The features offered are moot because they don't offer any real value. | ||

Seems like a cool service, sadly can't afford it just now (yeah, I know, it's really low cost... that's how bad things are atm). I'll just continue to keep my adblock disabled in the meantime. The idea of being able to gift TL+ to people for good posts is an awesome idea. I fully intend to buy it on monday, once I get a little money in my account :3 | ||

TL was the last site i expected to implement sth like this.. build by fans run by fans... i will miss the good old times.. i always tried my best to support TL with the little i have but now i think i will adblock it again... im not trying to be offensive btw i just cant understand why the old system worked for so long and now suddenly they need to make sth like this other then greed i hope someone can give me some good arguments so i can get my faith back into my so loved number one website. I created TL in 2002 when thought we could fill a special spot in the BW scene. In the first eight years it was a completely voluntary job for me (first I was an SC progamer, then I supported myself through poker). I think you should know that I worked my ass off the eight years before you created your account, without ever expecting this would one day become a business. Today TeamLiquid.net has become a monster to manage that can't be ran based on anyone's passion alone. As a website offering so much to its users it is impossible to maintain without monetization. We have about 200 staff members the vast majority of whom are voluntary. However as with any organization we absolutely must have paid quality staff to lead and accommodate such a massive group of people, and to create revenue to pay for all the costs involved with running a website as large as this. In terms of monetization I believe we have always stuck close to the principles that drove me to do this for eight years as a hobby. We've never considered doing popups, we have never locked popular public content behind paywalls, and we have never put up donation buttons. I think that we do a decent job at creating revenue sources that do not create negatives for those who don't want to spend money. Think of the store, non-instrusive ads, pay-what-you-want models, and TL+, which takes no functionality away from anyone who isn't interested in buying it. | ||
