SRK Forums *NOT* closing down at the end of January 2018

I will forever remember @SaBrE because of this:

Evolution 2009 Street Fighter IV Regional 5-on-5 Exhibition (Semi-Finals) ― vs. Alex Valle

Also @RoninChaos / @“Running Uppercut” / @akumachan

I do not know any of these people personally but they were OG mods back in the day.


**It wouldn’t be the same if we just straight up change. There’s history here. You can’t just pack up and leave a forum which has been the home for hundreds or thousands of people. SRK is…

History >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Forum Costs

Bringing back Premium would solve this problem. Hell, even without prem. people are willing to donate (myself included), just for the sake of keeping FGC/SF history up and running, for years to come.

My local thread transitioned to creating a FB page, but I couldn’t make the move. Why talk on a FB page when SRK is perfectly fine to do just that. :confused:

Been here since I was 12. I decided to randomly search ‘shoryuken’ one day, and here I am.

If DSP can get people to donate $1000-2000 every month, for him to suck-ass at video games. SURELY we could raise at least $1200.

250 people @ $5/mo. for Premium is more than enough to pay for the forum every month.

Someone should let BeGuiled know

lol

theres a GD discord link?

Of course this had to happen right before Black History month.

SRK -where everyone is black until proven otherwise

Wow this fucking sucks… this is pretty much the first and only forum I signed on to… well except those porn forums back in the day that had really good and rare porn videos…

Met some good people on this site… rip

The migration from Xeno to Vanilla decimated the forums. I pretty much agree though that another migration would probably kill them.

Damn, this place was a huge part of high school and early college days. I remember signing up for Premium just to get around the time limit between posts

That podcast was the shit, completely forgot about it.

oh no my precious join date

thank you.
appreciated

Hope your herpes gets better

Wont you take my money? Relieve me!

Well this sucks. I didn’t go to any other forums on the regular other than this one for years. You guys are alright by me. Well, most of you are, anyway. Gonna miss this place.

sad news. even though I haven’t posted that much over the years as other users I still visited the forums on a regular basis. of course social media has become a new source of information nowadays but I don’t think that makes forums obsolete. the way of communication is different and its structure makes it great for archival purposes. I really hope the effort to prevent the closure will be successful. I really don’t see what could replace the SRK forums right now.

Looks like i returned way too late. As some “last resort” to save the site i made mainstream.

I should not have been sent away this long. Now when this forum is about to get sent to the grave, this is the time it’s Greatest Poster comes back?

“Gradually decreased use”?

I blame this on Fishjiz. I may not have been here to know what girlyman shit that punk bitch has been teaching the noobs around here, but i know that the scat porn, the prostitute fucking with condoms, forcing people to agree that changing my cock into an artificial vagina is normal, listening to jlo music, the supporting of Stalin, Pol Pot, etc… the Anti-Cesar Millan posts and all that Atheist shit must have turned off a lot of male posters off.

To Preppy. I will do my best to save this site but i had no idea that it’s schedule for death is this month.

Real shit I actually forgot SRK has a front page. I come here so much that when I open my browser and type the letter “s” it autofill the general discussion link and takes me there. Theres been a couple times where I went to the front page on accident and there’s nothing I want to read there. Like how often does SRK break news that hasn’t been circulating for a couple hours elsewhere, at least recently? Close the forums? Shut the whole thing down. SRK without a forum will be the fringiest of fringe sites. Nobody will come here, and there will be no reason to.

While this place has ruled, I don’t think we should pony up our hard earned cash dollars for this place when we still have bigwigs that are set to shut it down at any moment, the ruling class doesnt exactly deserve our money.

Someone save Domination 101 though, unless it is around on some other dark site

Even though I only lurk these days, this is legit surprising.

And people say this place is dead, yet look at how news of a closure is bringing a SHIT TON OF FOLK out of the woodwork!
Does this corner of the internet REALLY need to be closed and forgotten?!

Doubt anything can happen in 3 weeks to change their minds. If they were interested in having their minds changed they would have announced months in advance so that proposals to keep things going could have been floated past them.

Amen. Folks at tech talk already looking to achieve and possibility resurrect the info stored there

Remember the community isn’t this fucking place, its the people inside of it
