(correct me here if I'm wrong) Anyway we all know why TL is so fucking awesome today but having only joined up in 07 I've always wondered how and when TL started and what made TL so big and popular as it is today - what was it like in the beginning? Yooo I wonder how TL started too I forgot how this forum looked like when I first came but I'm sure everything on the right side of the website wasn't there. My profile says I joined in 2004 but I was lurking around before then. I don't even play or watch SC anymore but I'm still here =D *I think I came to TL.net when players like HovZ, FroZ, Grrrr..., Assem, Rek, FF)JianG[tC], etc.. were still playing and were pretty big in our SC community. | ||

It's just through proper site maintenance policies and a slow but fostering community that eventually grew from a small ember to a blazing inferno fueled by passionate translators, ardent battlereporters, and a sort of "laizze faire", but ban when appropriate policy by moderators. That, pretty much in a nutshell. Yes! That is how I remembered the earlier TL days =) Also; the replays were awesome. I was trying to find replays earlier on to learn new strategies and counters and watch pros, etc.. but had a hard time finding stuff (before ygclan) but TL had an awesome database. | ||

Lots of idle banter and way less replies than what we see today, obviously. It's crazy actually. It almost inspires me to make a thread on the history of this site :p | ||

Always as hilarious everytime someone brings up the horses (and it's been done alot through the years). I honestly don't know about the horses. Just that it's been discussed and that by now they're considered an integral part of TL. Whatever you do though, don't try finding out how rank icons work! Attempting to unlock TLs secrets can lead you straight into some fucked up shit. | ||
