[SR$2k Dev Thread] I'll set up an SRK successor board if you guys need one

General Discussion
41

I’m definitely interested and will donate or pay for a premium membership or whatever it takes.

@“Darc Requiem” pretty much instantly created a free zetaboard for the SRK refugees, but it is extremely bare-bones.

I’m not sure what the premium options would be to make it anymore worthwhile, or if there are simply just better formats.

I also agree that everyone should relocate to one site, rather than split everyone up into multiple smaller sites.

Here’s the link to the board Darc created, just in case SRK disappears before we can come up with a set course of action:

I will definitely keep an eye here though to monitor progress.

A lot of us have joined a SRK Discord as well.

42

I have been looking on cloud servers for this purpose as well.
My main worry is how much bandwidth the forums would use monthly.

If you go through with it, I would be glad to help.

43

awesome to see all the effort here. I really hope there is some way to keep the SRK forums alive. you all have my moral support!

44

I’m in with anyway I can. Discord is just a temporary stop gap anyway.

45

I like discord but only for real time communication, and that’s it. Reddit is a a disorganized bootlegged forum, great for showcasing what is popular and the latest news but you can’t use effectively when you want to archive important indepth information, neither is that information easily found either.

So yes, i would love to see a new forum where we can seek refuge.

46

Glad to see all the support this is getting. =)

47

I’m shocked we’re even resorting to this. The SFV Lounge thread alone gets at least a hundred posts a day, even on a quiet day.

48

Can your servers handle the load of all these guys and their waifus?

SRK itself has had a ton of downtime thru the changes and breaking apart where we were all scared and didn’t know why it was happening.

Shoryuken server migration/downtime working on that Credit…man~

Its kinda great how after all this year we get vague shit about how much it costs to run the forums. How about we get some hard fucking numbers on what “expensive” actually is?

50

I’m definitely willing to help out. I was looking into premium options at Zetaboards since it was so barebones.

51

What are the premium options?

I was also thinking about it and I’m thinking that the free version probably doesn’t have a lot of storage capacity. I don’t know if that can increase with the premium version.

I am curious to see where the talks about migration end up though.

If there is a way to just move everything to somewhere else and/or maybe have someone else in charge of SRK that would be great. I’d hate to see all of the old posts disappear.

52

I’m currently toying with different software on my own hosting.

It’s easier than using a forum service.

53

At work. I’d have to look it up. IIRC they didn’t seem substantial.

54

I appreciate your efforts. Please let us know if there’s anything we can do to help, anything at all.

55

Throw me in as another supporter of a new forum home. Don’t know what I can do but if there is some way I can help out I will.

56

You could ask for a joining fee to start off with a good note. I don’t have a clue on the cost of running boards but I’d think most ppl here could chip in 10 bucks to join

57

I would like to show some support too (Senior Software Developer for a couple of years). No ads and already paid hosting is a humble offer, but I don’t believe that you can sustain that while maintaining the performance / uptime of the current board :confused: There is a reason for vanilla to charge the prices they do, even if you cut out their profits. @“Jasen Hicks” if you need more manpower, count me in!

58

I wouldn’t mind helping with any monetary donations that may be needed to either keep this site going or to start a new one.

59

though I don’t want to migrate to another forum I’d be willing to.

60

I hope there is an official migration spot.
