ROFL! HiFi have five~
Yes, it says "grab the floor" in yaoyuan.com, the first guy to reply to a post is at the first floor, the second is the second floor. And I dunno what hit them, but the first floor seems to be a very, very honorable spot ._. everyone try to grab it.

I'll just do the full translation for your amusement...

He says,
_________________________________________________________________________________
I'm not all that great, but my title is "grabbing 10 or more first floor" at yaoyuan.com, a lot of first five floors, and numourous top ten floors.

Chapter1: Basic strategy on connection:
First of all, your connection must be gosu. Because it if takes you 10 years to refresh a page, even if you see the opportunity for first floor, it refresh too slow, you wont grab it. The main server of yaoyuan is at "HeNan" which means our comrades of the "education network" and "Flow network" company service run yaoyuan "swooshy swooshy fast" If you are one of the "ElectricMail" service, make sure your service is from "Henan" to retain maximum connection.

Chapter2: Intermedium strategy on forum mod's habit
Now you got a decent connection, which is the basic toward grabbing floors, now let us analyze our busy bees, the forum mod's.
Tian-Terran-Down, our YY's undoubtly dragon lord, he is the flag of the lead for china Starcraft, I admire him sooo much that it is more than I can express <3, he prefer to load in new post around 10:30pm to 1:00 am. Now our "meetsea" comrade, he is a great power far away, all the cool replays so unique he's exploited out of all the Korean websites, big and small for you to enjoy. He normally log and post around 11:00pm to 12:30am.
Kdash, our VOD manager Kdash, ever since he's joining of YY.com, the vods are just impossible to finish, since there is soo much. This boss reload pages in a phantom like way, but after years of observation, I have noticed some traits: 10-11am and 11-12:30 pm, and late night 2:30-3 am.
GTV tvp's page normally reload around 11:30-1:00
Artsofarrow PvZ normally reload around 11:00-12:00
Stofus TvZ normally reload around 11:00-12:00
Janson33 our battle reporter, normally reload around 2:00 late night.
The other mods in charge of the "demestic production replays" are too elusive to seek patterns since they log on too few, I havent found pattern yet.
Conclusion:
The prime time is around 11:20 to 1:30 night, the productino of new pages are insanely high, around 15 mins per new thread. But since there are many people on line at that time, I recommand refresh every five mins.
The second rated time is around 2:30-3:30, this time you can fish out alot of new Kdash and Janson33's threads, but actually the production rate is already very low at this point, but since there are so few ppl online, there is a good chance you will catch it.

Chapter3: Advanced strategy on LUCK
Only based on logicall facts are not enough, I entirely agree if you conceive some whimsical idea and surf on yaoyuan one day, there might be a chance you will grab a first floor. While other people says I never had this luck. What im going to say is, luck only greets the hardworking and the prepared, if you only visit yaoyuan once every millium, it would be obsurd for you to catch a first floor.
Tired of playing Starcraft, come to yaoyuan; before meal, come to yaoyuan; before bed, come to yaoyuan. Only if you come from time to time, shall you get the caring of LUCK. I say this again, LUCK only visits the prepared and the hardworking.

Chapter4: Classified strategy on easy backdoor
Even floor grabbing have back doors, have you noticed that Mods frequently gets first floor? My guess is that they have conspiricy between them. As you can see, there are ways for a relationship factor to benefits. But how to get good relationships, it's up to your own talents. Shall you make good battlereports to catch mod's eye, or Argue loudly so you can be friends, the quickist way is to imitate a starcraft chick, it is a great sacrifice of we starcraft chick loving people, but for the first floor, it is worth it~

Chapter5: The theory of grabbing floor's pointlessness
Some of them B culture guys criticize our floor grabbing culture. say something like no fun or boring. I want to ask them, isnt YOUR life boring? Does the stuff you are doing worth while? There are those guys, who leech off YY's vods day and night but never posted their appreciation, for those guys, should we not abase them?
Grabbing floor is a culture of us YY people, is our love and support of YY.com. We might not able to write fabulous replies, nor have we the money to buy YY a new server. The best we can do, however, is to GRAB THAT FLOOR with great passion, to tell those mods that we DO care about YY.com. we DO care about starcraft!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YaoYuan will never fail, YaoYuan Live and Die With STARCRAFT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you, I wish you comrades grab the first floor ASAP.

So that's my translation, hope you like it... It takes alot of efforts to translate these four symboled words "Cheng Yu" from chinese to english, and that my english isnt too great because i've been only living in U.S for about 3 years, so my translation might not be as good as other guys. But I tried. Thankyou for viewing.

well, there are chinese words for swoosh too, so I translated that way. I could translate it as "uber fast" but the original poster in china used a sound to describe how fast it is. Therefore I translated by using a sound. I'm sure the original poster wants his post translated into English with minimum "mutation" as these "mutation" often happens when you finds some unique words hard to translate.

yeah ihatett, I am chinese. It's just I live in U.S so I selected U.S when I applied for an account.

Chinese forum posters always try to reply first and it's really really weird.

They call the first floor (first reply) "sofa", then the second floor "stool".

You get prestige if you can always land yourself in the "sofa".

Edit: Oh, and sometimes, the poster himself/herself (*looking at Emlary*) snatches the sofa right away, and people don't like that -_-

Edit 2: Oh, hopefully, our beloved Teamliquidians won't adapt this terrible habit.

Edit 3: Fixed some random errors in my post, I'm just a little buzzed on beer.
When you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it.
