Have you considered having the Community/Other Games/Blogs section being common to both websites? (as in they appear on the LiquidDota sidebar aswell) They are related neither to Dota or SC and it would maybe alleviate the "splitting community" issue.

Maybe keep the same community section for every website? Because Dota fans will like UFC or Formula 1 as much as Starcraft fans. Lets not fragment that. Seems like something possible?
I think that's a good compromise that is the best of all worlds.
Keep the blogs, keep the community, etc.

Nice timing, I just posted the exact same thoughts. Please do this teamliquid staff. It'd be really great, this is what most people complaining (like me) want I think. This is our biggest issue and concern.

I was wondering when this was going to happen. This could be great!
|
Fiwifaki/BobMcJohnson, great idea 
edit: although i just noticed there isnt a general section on liquiddota.com
Also, i seem to be able to log on on both sites with the same account, which is nice

It's something we are considering but there's actually a lot of technical limitations

Nice, right in time for some big tournaments. Can't wait to see the new site grow!

They should keep all the forum tabs on the TeamLiquid site but when you click the topic; it redirects you to their sister sites. I think this should be something to consider.
This was done for LiquidHearth for the first few days. Not sure about LiquidDota.

I'm surprised LiquidHearth got up before this one, knew it was coming.

It's funny how Teamliquid is becoming more and more like the old school website gaming networks like GamingEye, TaoOfGaming and the .ORG network.
Have you guys thought of a collaborative/brand name for your network yet? Calling it "The Liquid Network" or "The TeamLiquid Network" sounds a bit cheesy and doesn't really explain what you guys are actually doing. Maybe name the brand as the TLCG (TeamLiquid Competitive Gaming) Network or something 
|
Seems pretty damn pointless to be honest. Why fragment a community that obviously cares about more than a single game. Liquidhearth seems like a failure, don't see the need to repeat it.
|
little by little, the TL community is getting split up into little groups. dunno how hard it was for people to not click on threads for games that they dont follow.
just more inconvenience for people who like to follow multiple games

wow that's big news! Congrats! I love the colors you guys used, very nice and soft on the eyes!
edit: the whole fragmentation thing is also a concern of mine. Hope the solution mentioned some posts earlier get implemented so that you can be on TL and still check LD and such.

Based on the experience with Hearthstone and LiquidHearth: I'm afraid it will be the same with D2 - I will just slowly loose touch with D2. I don't like - I hate the fragmentation. At least there's no LiquidBW, yet.
There are only so much sites you're willing to visit and jumping around various Liquid subsites is too much - I will stick with main.
Could you make the LiquidHearth as the domain leading to the same place but with different layout and predefined preferences - just keep user's ability to see everything at one place.

Yeah but now all the community stuff is for Starcraft-only users?
Exactly, you can filter the news with a single click. I don't see any advantage in fracturing the sites, It's inconvenient as hell. I love all of the dota coverage and all of the community features (blogs, off-topic, general, other games etc.,) and have to constantly bounce between two websites when it used to be conveniently packaged into one is a huge pain in the ass and part of the reason I stopped following hearthstone. Out of sight of of mind kinda deal and I hated bouncing between the two sites to read about it and eventually just stopped*.
(*not that TL split was the only reason I stopped following hearthstone but it certainly didn't help)

Will you guys be putting the link to LiquidDota on the top of TeamLiquid, like you have for hearthstone and poker?
