On the one hand teamliquid.net was definitely inadequate for following Dota, like the calendar was sub-par to the point where I think most people would use one on a different site for following Dota. I can understand how the website isn't a welcoming experience to Dota fans given how shared of a space the site was. But I think you did it wrong again. LiquidDota.com should exist, but it should exist more like a custom skin for TeamLiquid.net. User accounts should be global across the whole TeamLiquid brand, including Hearth. Forums should exist through a single stream of database queries, just with a different frontend. A different skin. Different defaults. | ||

This suggestion over on reddit pretty much made me go like "Yeah, why isn't it like that?" What if you make it so that going to "Liquiddota.com" provides you an a priori filtered website for dota content, "Liquidsc.com" a priori filtered for Sc and so on, and "teamliquid.net" remains an unfiltered version? | ||

If Community / Blogs / VideoStreams problems would get partly solved, you won't see anyone objecting at all, I bet. | ||

If you think making liquidhearth, liquiddota, liquidsmash, liquid.net, liquidlol and liquidwhatever else is the right choice, then go ahead, but there is no reason the split the community that goes beyond the games at this point.

Now the dota fans need to go to one for the dota 2 content and the main one for the non-gaming content (or sc2/lol), as the community forum section isn't shared across sites (because it's that section which keeps most people active on the forums, right?). | ||

It's been 3 hours, chill, most people don't even know about the change. We have been looking into this and so far there have been technical difficulties to doing it. However in the end nothing can stop R1CH so I'm confident we can pull it off. | ||

Especially not having all the forums on the same left sidebar! :/ I mean, I dont even read the HS articles since they've been moved to LiquidHearth for example, because I'm not a diehard HS fan, but reading an article about it every now and then was still enjoyable, but now I dont bother opening the LiquidHearth page so i dont read any. I hope it wont lead to similar behaviors for people who read mostly SC/Dota stuff but still enjoy a bit of the other once in a while. This happened to me as well. I probably won't ever come to this site anymore. I guess SC2 ded gaem for me. I checked the general and kept up with stuff because it was in one central location and it was easy to do. I would watch some games if it was on. I just don't care enough to open up another site to do it... Just when I was getting into smash too.... fuck  | ||
