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

Sup, best O.G. mod of the ever?

The guy you don’t recognize, @Pertho is best current era mod of the ever.

Look at all these old geezers coming out of nowhere to pay final respects. I guess I will resurrect the bit one last time:

Zero will miss the SRK forums.

Would you look at that. With the end of SRK: https://www.forbes.com/sites/trevornace/2018/01/02/supermoon-blue-moon-total-lunar-eclipse-night/

i had already stopped posting here regularly by then, but i definitely noticed this on teamliquid which was modded way worse and more strict. i never got banned once on SRK, but at teamliquid i’ve already been temp banned like 3 times when i joined there in like 2011. bunch of fascist fucks. their forum sucks and i definitely give zero fucks about the posters there or ever meeting them in real life.

i can definitely see how the e sport ruined everything - anytime a pro gamer said something funny on twitch such as “i hope you get cancer and die” they’d email the sponsors and get the pro gamer fired and the team to lose sponsor money. give me a fucking break. in a way, they are responsible for donald dump winning the presidency. dump isn’t good for much else, but his tweets are savage, and he triggers the justice crusaders, hence he has a huge fan base. i can only hope that the pendulum now swings the other way, the sjw all die of starvation because they can’t find a job in the real world, and soon thereafter donald dump gets beaten in his reelection race by the rock and/or oprah, order is restored, and gaming websites can be the wild west again and we all live happily ever after

edit: septimus fucking prime gracing us with his presence! we’re going down, but we’re going out in a big supernova of OGs!!!

Srk sucks

How you gonna change mobile like that 20 days before you give srk the boot? Talk about blue balls

I’ll miss this place

whoa this is the first time i have seen you post on SRK. hope we can party again soon

Everything is what you make of it. I refuse to believe there are plain better alternatives. They’re not better. They’re just different. It’s hard to swallow that from people who admittedly don’t use this place much any more. It’s not really about you or the others like you anymore is it? It’s about all the people that still do post here because they’ve made something of it that they want in their lives.

I have damn near 10k posts and this is the first one you see?

Idk whether to be impressed or insulted…im going with insulted

Trumps got another term after this one kiddo.

I wish SRKers would get fucking jobs and stop being welfare queens.

I think that’s accurate for everyone, but we’re also at an interesting crossroads where I feel like a lot of people are realizing just how much they hate social media. I wonder where this is headed. I largely quit social media a number of months ago and it was the best decision I’ve made in a very long time. I don’t see forums coming back—much like arcades—but I hope more people jump on the fuck facebook wagon.

By and large social media is for people you know as well. Yeah, there are strangers that follow you but you don’t engage in multiple paragraph long posts and in-depth debates. Yes, Twitch gives you a soapbox for that, so does YouTube, but more often than not unless you’re someone well-known you’re talking to yourself. On a forum you get back and forth.

Forums are where you have long discussions and debates with random strangers over practically anything and it can be an insightful experience. Reddit probably emulates this best outside of the traditional forum set-up but the problem with Reddit is you get hundreds of new names daily, not the same few dozen. Reddit is like the big city compared to a country town.

Well I’m going to miss this place. Fun memories lurking around and engaging with the community whether its gaming and non gaming

First time I’ve ever had to enter a password to change my User Title. Mobile looks like shit now too.

It’s a Vanilla backend update. I get the same challenges when doing certain admin operations these days. Happened a couple months ago.

Ever? Did he come back too?

I’ve been Facebook stalking you since I left. Congrats on the move!

Also, the hell kind of forum doesn’t have multi-quote?

Does Sep still hate the 360?

24000 posts of forum rep down the drain, farewell friend.

I don’t understand why they are even closing the forums, surely they don’t cost much to run?

I’m sad I’m not going to be able to get people account locked again when Trump wins in 2020.

Akuma may have stole Christmas
But now SRK has stolen the New Year

Closing this whole place before SF30th Anniversary Collection & EVO Japan
