LOOKS LIKE THEY WON IN THE END BOYS

If this is truly the end and there’s no chance of saving or reviving the forums, then it’s been real. Enjoyed perusing this site for over a decade and it really is irreplaceable for me. 90% of the closest friends and associates I have are thanks to coming here. Acquiring all the knowledge I have (with still much more to learn) and finding out there was so much more to this hobby and how deep it goes is something I wouldn’t trade for anything. I always worry or wonder about who’s gonna be the next person I lose in my life, so that it doesn’t surprise me as much when it happens… 'never even considered this place could be something I’d have to think about losing since it always seemed so lively to me and could’ve technically been around longer than any of us. I guess it completely caught me off guard though…

…I’m gonna miss this place a lot.

The cost of maintaining the site became too high and was not sustainable. Everyone blocks ads and people are just using twitter/facebook/discord etc to post information.

We had a good run, but it is time to move on.

I joined back in 2003, so to see a forum I’ve actively been a part of for 15 years shut down makes me sad. I’ve met some great people here on GD and matchmaking back in the day.

I’ll miss GD and posting here. I won’t miss all of you though, just some. Fuck you.

Fuck cats. Also shut the fuck up Don.

End of an era boys.

Fuck cats? Fuck you.

I haven’t been to the IRC channel in forever. Is it still active?

It is, we are having our memorial service for the forum right now on there haha.

I might have to stop by every now and then to talk shit. I don’t even have IRC on this new computer because I am too lazy to set it up again. lol

Let us help please.

If only we knew how much it costs to keep the forums running to maybe try and raise the money in a month.

I thought this was a joke at first but… :sad:

Cue cliche:
"If everyone donated a dollar…"

This is the only post I’ve ever seen from you which isn’t 50 quotes from dead dudes in powdered wigs in image form.

Damn that drives it home.

Wonder how much was offered for the site.

[AlphaCommando]

How many times do we need to click the McRibs ad?

What’s your agenda?

[Mr_Punkus]

As this is the final episode, I feel all characters should make a special guest appearance.

[Ephidel]

End of an era for sure. Haven’t posted regularly here in a bit but I still remember when I first signed up here, learning how to make tags and avatars for people is what legit taught me how to use Photoshop which I now use for digital art to this day. Gonna miss it.

Oh shit how you been bro?! You and infini had some dope shit in IM

[Pertho]

What’s your agenda?

If SRK gets closed then there will be no centralize place complaining about Smash being at Evo.

Thus SRK must die for smash milfs.

[Akhos]

How much do you need to keep the forums up

So a community is only good if you can profit from it?

Haven’t even entertained the idea of letting us help decide in our own fates?

[Bomberman3000]

Honestly, if they do want to close the forums, I say fuck the whole thing and burn down ALL of SRK while everyone in backdrop sings campfire songs.

I’m dead serious, kill the forums, kill ALL OF IT. Don’t pussy out.
