SRK Lounge New Owners beta

I have no idea who you mean.

But we ought to tear him down, brick by brick, Dammit! :stuck_out_tongue:

As I see it

Already a new lounge thread huh. It is funny how better MvC3 discussion goes on here than the actual section, then again, I haven’t been there since the game was announced at E3.

You know it’s gonna happen. I’d say the odds are very good. You were here for SF4’s release date right? People are going to hit up the character threads for 100% X-Factor combos :lol:


The tags in this thread are always ballin. ā€œEconomics my Niggaā€ :rofl:

you lie. but damn old thread got closed down already? mvc3 shit storm going to be bigger than sf4 shit storm? quad duplicate posts coming?

How in the nine hells are we still on page one?

As I see it.

lol. its clearly a slow night, its thursday. Maybe everyones out trying to get their fuck on? i just got back from a concert, and i still wanna go out but its almost 1…and most of the clubs here close round 2.

Wait for it, HE will arrive!!!

And then you will wonder how we got to page ten so quickly young fool!!!

The best fuck night in Tempe is Friiday night.

In only 2 posts, even.

Night guys.

As I see it.

thursday in american is college club night, cause most students head home for the weekend on fridays.

Shit, for a minute I thought the lounge was gone for good. Not a fan of the slight restrictions, but it’s better to be prepared for that fateful day. What a day it will be…

I as well was a bit worried that it might be gone for good. I mean, having to do something productive with my time? Pfft.

To celebrate, everyone read this please.

Guess this means we’ll have to preemptively ban Kzoh. It’s a hard sacrifice, but one that I think we’re all prepared to make.

Thank you, Valaris.

…Damn it, SoVi3t. What did Valaris JUST SAY about one-liner posts?

(Also, pretty damn good if the past couple of weeks have been any indication. For the Cannons’ sake, I would have to hope it doesn’t end up being down for too long.)

doesn’t SRK crash anytime a big game comes out? hell, didn’t they just it down for 3 days for EVO?

does kzoh really post that much? i mean to have 5% of the posts in an 8000 post thread seems like a lot.

oh and just watched the latest jersey shore episode, sammi is looking damn good.

i feel like srk is down for evo just because the mods are down to a skeleton crew. i dont think it really crashes around that time anymore…they just bullshit and say it does.

I think the issue lies in the fact that most of his posts in the Lounge and the Rap thread are just copy/pasted images of a chick in skimpy clothing with a 3-4 word note like,ā€œShe’s so fine!ā€

It’s just really not necessary and in the rap thread, it’s completely off-topic. He should take that shit to IMM or just take my previously given advice and create a tumblr.

I normally don’t post in here, but then I saw the lounge thread got closed by inkblot and I was like wtf???

Srk has an alexa rank of 4,496 in the US, 12,766 worldwide. That means its getting a shit ton of traffic. They could look for advertising deals with Capcom, who should be happy to pay to advertise their products here. Also, I would pay to get my post count shields and join date back. They could have tiered versions of premium that could enable those features. Also I’m sure there are plenty of people here (myself included) who would be willing to donate money to SRK. Bottom line, SRK should be able to generate enough revenue to get some better servers.

I want GD to stay open. There has always been discussion of closing GD for a long time, which is unfortunate. This place is a nice community. If it ever got shut down, I’d literally feel like I was ā€œinternet homelessā€.

Wow, does SRK expect us to only be interested in Street Fighter or something?

Anyway, I finally watched The Hangover tonight. I thought it was alright, but the randomness was forced a bit at times. Also, I didn’t catch as many memorable quotes or guffaw loudly like all my friends said they did when they first watched it. I must be a cold-hearted robotic bastard. Of course, if that was true, I would have been semi-decent in fighting games…

I never knew they thought about closing GD. If they did, all I have left is IMM. Bring back the emblems and the join date and i’ll gladly donate money to SRK.

Pretty much…

SRK crashes when you breathe on it hard. They add new features, then take them away, They have a premium subscription program, then they gradually take away all the reasons for having premium in the first place, from themes to no ads to rep to whatever. They expect the people who actually run their site, the mods, to either do their jobs with a 50 message PM box or they have to actually PAY for premium. They put in a feedback forum where they only occasionally respond to issues and they let spam bot posts accumulate for months. They let issues linger for a 9 months to a year and blame it on the board software, and meanwhile other boards running the same version of the same software don’t fuck up nearly as much or in the same ways. And then, once in a while, they take a break from playing Catan or WoW or whatever the fuck, peek in here, and do some shit that makes it clear that they don’t understand the culture of their own message board.

Basically, they don’t know what the fuck they’re doing.

I had to pop in and say that The Lounge is probably the main reason I even bother to hang around this site anymore. It’s become my internet ā€˜homebase’ of a sort.

I rarely post, but this section and the posters that frequent it are a constant source of entertainment, news, and even sometimes knowledge. Hell, I learned more about proper assist usage in MvC2 in the last two days than I ever have in my infrequent dabbles with the actual game. What would I do without the afro-centric Kzoh’s posts, and the subsequent clowning he takes? Or The Damned’s nihilistic musings? Shaft Agent’s unique wit and calf fetish? A World Without Million? No sir, I do not want…

Taking away the Lounge would be alienating the last remnants of SRK’s Golden Age, and I would not want to lose that so that TehLastUchiha319 can make another thread about ā€˜How do I beat people in MvC3?’ Besides, this thread filters out the bad posters pretty quickly and keeps the forum from being cluttered with a lot of inane threads that could be easily answered in one or two posts anyway.

SRK GD Lounge 4 lyfe, son!

yeah whenever someone does something really stupid ronin comes in and gives us the parent talk. basically says wizard wants to close gd but him and sep fight for it to stay open. if it closed down id just head back to tekken zaibatsu…they got a gd but clearly not as fun as this.
