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?). I am pretty bad at explaining things clearly, but here's my two cents anyway. Everybody loves and respect TL stuff and TL community. But when admins openly explain to people: "Guys, we want to achieve even more results with our constant efforts, we want to bring more people into the TL awesomeness, we want to make our site even more useful for a Dota and SC2 ACTIVE followers, wouldn't it be nice? All support we need from you is just opening an extra window in your browser when you visit TL.net and you won't miss anything, believe us" and are getting "How you dare to make my life even more uncomfortable and complicated than it's already. You will break the most mature esports community apart, plz stop" in response. Does it take one to belong to TL minority to see whose ideas sound more reasonable and less egoistic? | ||

If Community / Blogs / VideoStreams problems would get partly solved, you won't see anyone objecting at all, I bet. honestly? yeah. my only problem is that i cant talk about the nhl, watch dota streams and then hop onto the eve corp thread on one tab. | ||

However in the end nothing can stop R1CH so I'm confident we can pull it off. Ya, this feels to me like the most important missing step. I imagine that people won't want to leave the TL community to go to the other site, and that a huge draw for many are the extra-gaming aspects of TL. Not being able to access all that other stuff would be the #1 reason I wouldn't want to go to LiquidDota. Actually makes me wonder- how long has LiquidPoker been around, and has it been successful in establishing a its own niche community apart from the traditional TL? | ||

As for the splitting of the sites, it seems like the main thing really is just the community forums that need to be worked out between all three sites and it wont be such a big split anymore. As for everything else, it'll be interesting to see how it plays out! | ||

Simple changes to usernames (now in bold) and headers (now darker with lighter lines) are great. We could use that kind of update for the main site too. | ||

As the admins even admitted, everyone else provided sites that were solely DotA. The people that used TL for DotA were the ones that transitioned from SC, or the ones that cared about both. In other words, they had a dedicated user-base that already had options, but stayed here because of things only TL was providing. Or, more generally, TeamLiquid was the only website that provided aggregate Event listings and Stream links for multiple major eSports. But instead of cornering a market that they had a complete monopoly on, and improving the service, they instead decided to create one more DotA website in a sea of already established communities. | ||

HS I couldn't care for so I was happy when it got its own site but I'm gonna miss lurking the Dota threads when I'm bored ;; I'm no developer or designer but wouldn't a complete face lift been sufficient enough not to split the sites up? Opening the front page up so it doesn't get so easily crowded. Edit: Time to grab up that LiquidGeneral.net url?  | ||

This was the best part of TL by far, i could hit the main page and instantly know everything in esports, now i have to go through multiple websites just like before. | ||
