There are a select few on the list who have fundamentally changed the way we have played, watched and enjoyed Starcraft. Dakota_Fanning has done just that. He joins the likes of MasterofChaos, Yakii, jca and ilovecats aka toptalent as someone who has contributed to the community in a way that has touched almost everyone and made our Starcraft experience significantly better.

It's not very often we give out forum stars on Team Liquid, in fact I don't remember who was the last person to receive a star. A forum star represents the pinnacle of contribution to the community. Looking through the list of forums stars you'll see names like HonestTea who was one of the greatest community writers and translated more than his body weight of Korean interviews. There are people like Incontrol, who has consistently tried to bring something good to the community be it through uploading replays, hosting events or being on shows like SoTG. While the mouse-over on the star says "quality poster", it should more accurately say "outstanding contributor".

Dakota_Fanning has done just that. He joins the likes of MasterofChaos, Yakii, jca and ilovecats aka toptalent as someone who has contributed to the community in a way that has touched almost everyone and made our Starcraft experience significantly better.We're no stranger to Dakota's work; back in Brood War he developed the BWHF project (Brood War Hack Finder) which would alert you to whether you were playing with a known hacker or not. It was a massive undertaking and some people tried to abuse it which made development difficult. Further, he contributed some plugins to the Chaos launcher as well as helped debug it on occasion.But what has really set him apart is his tireless dedication to SC2gears . If you don't have this amazing application yet, then you're mad. What Dakota has accomplished with numerous patching and many man hours is a true successor to BWchart/WC3chart by jca. It has so many features, so many uses and keeps getting better every week (seriously, he PMs me around once a week request a thread title change alerting people to the new version!). The project started back in the beta and over a year later it isbeing updated with awesome new features. Additionally, I think his OP is a contender for longest OP on TLSo everyone, please give a round of applause for Dakota_Fanning! Administrator ~ Spirit will set you free ~
