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

The Preptime Batman discussion has to be archived for the scholars of the future to find when we bury the tablets into a time capsule.

rip it was a good run i guess, at least theres still the discord

Smashboards Presents: Evo 2018!

how much does the forum cost you per year.
not the frontpage news stuffā€¦just the forum!

cant you split the forum section and give it to us and we bare the costs/ect?

Before shit gets too crazy in here: The Cannons have been paying out of pocket for SRK for years.

The problem is that unless you know people, you arenā€™t going to know jack all about the inner workings of community things. SRK costs a decent amount of money to keep open but its basically impossible to find out how much because reasons.

or you know, the realistic response. Easy to criticize when itā€™s not hitting your wallet.

Before the forums go, could we have animated avs back plz :angel:

Site lost money when the premium package retired. It was competitive, made your e-dick longer, shields to protect you from the flames, circle jerking rep all day long

Donā€™t do that. Let SRK die. Create a new one. Iā€™m sure someone here has the skills.

Its been like that since real money actually started coming in.

@MrWizard Please ^^^

Give us a chance to save this place. Itā€™s not much to ask. Many of us are working adults, we could make a difference. Please reconsider.

SRKsubreddit is the move yo.

RIP SRK. Been fun knowing yall

Bring back premium! And then my avatar will be animated again!

I agreeā€¦ I need to show off that Chun li getting kicked down the stairs AV one last time.

No doubt, but if money is the sole issue then a yearly donation drive, or special banners or privileges ala twitch for paying members could have been a thing.

Instead its like well, its cost to much to keep going, shutting it down. Especially when there are tonā€™s of people willing to donate.

fuck the fucking reddit. If I wanted to post on reddit I would have.

let srk have its reddit and it will be dead as dust in 2 weeks, theres no community there.

I have been a somethingawful forums member for close to 20 years and the reason Lowtax keeps that place running, and thriving with over 100 thousand members is because he lets the community give back to help offset costs in various ways. How about entertaining a solution like that instead of doing a full on bitch move like this.

Well it has been fun. Lotā€™s of funny people on this forum.

Time to move on i guess. A good place for competitive fighting game with that much diversity wont be easy to find. The community will scatter in thousands of discords/facebook and other bullshit where you cant keep a decent convo rolling for more than 1 page.

Trying to make an SRK subreddit but it wonā€™t let me. :mad:

Fuck it lads, if this is the bullshit we have to get ready for, might as well start getting prepared:

@Daemos Inkblot is the owner of the site, I will ask him if he wants to disclose the cost, and if he is interested in keeping it up.

Iā€™m absolutely willing to donate to keep this place up and running.

Bring back premium memberships. Tons of people would pay/donate to keep this place going.

Donā€™t do this to us. :frowning:
