The Lounge 10k Post Edition

Oh, I originally DID join as jabs.

I had my account suicided by Wiz, circa 2009, because I needed to focus on some major family stuff at the time.

I came back a year later as CLU2.

Which is why beating Sovi3t was so damned funny.

It was like Black Jesus, the year prior, but with one inexplicably actually potential competitor.

Who lost.

Shao Kahn looks like the entire crew from Gears of War got infected with some weird alien androgyny virus, and gangbanged Rock from Soul Calibur (1) almost to death, and made an alien polygonal hellspawn, that prematurely dropped out of its father’s ruined rectal cavity, and landed hard on its softspot.

I’m still mad the SRK awards ended before I could win Firelord.

I roasted so many people and never got to the finish line.

Back when Prem was in its prime, I actually had noobs post in thread quoting and admiring the hellfire manner in which they got roasted by me in the neg comments I left.

I don’t remember which year but iirc I won hater of the year one year and P.Gorath got legit mad at me. Which I find hilarious since I know him and have hung out with him several times IRL.

Were you around when people bought premium just for the premium lounge and the circle jerk rep threads? I remember Wiz being pissed at Valaris and I because we got our rep so high it went beyond his (“Supreme Commander”) so he had to keep creating rep titles almost weekly to keep up with us.

Yes, yes I WAS.

I never made it past the second page of highest rep.

But I was the highest on the second highest page.

Man, the premium lounge/thinking out loud thread was fucking legendary. Guru, Infested Jester (god I miss his stories), Valaris, 4Doom, samasta (shout out to the amazing avatars he made), mixah, str[e]ak. so many amazing posters and so many awesome discussions were had.

I remember hopping on SRK after work at like 7 or 8 and staying up until the sun came up just because of that thread.

We had a LOT of night owls, too.

Gurrarran is still my favorite predictable Wake Up Ultra member of all time.

I think my favorite part about that thread is I became legit friends with a lot of them due to rooming with them at several EVO’s. It’s awesome when fighting game bros become legit bros

I miss Montey, too.

My favorite memory of Super SF4 is nabbing his Sakura with a Focus Attack dash cancelled into a standing 720.

So many awesome posters gone.
$RK is a husk of what it was but I’ve been here since 04 and I don’t plan on leaving any time soon.

One of my favorite pastimes when premium was still a thing was neg bombing people
Into oblivion but signing the neg rep as another user. That shit caused so many flame wars but it also made A LOT of people buy premium so they could neg that person back only to find out it wasn’t even the said person that negged them.

I remember this game especially pissing off @Yuna (Back when she was Lobelia Prime) when she was probably one of the most hated users in GD. Thankfully she’s better now and one of my legit friends. Though she did set me up with her gold digger of a best friend. Thankfully she cut all ties to her like I did when I dumped her. Love you, girl. :heart:

Calling that girl my best friend at any point in my life would be pushing it, but at least I got a few sweet games of NGBC out of the arrangement.

And yeah, I used to be a real shit on SRK. I deserved the hate I got. It worked out all right for me in the end.

To be fair, I am not sure that anyone who posted here circa. Pre-09, was able to walk through the fire without a flamethrower of their own.

The best/only way to survive was to RTSD any attacks on your person.

Literally me until Wiz banished me to the shadow realm.

I think the pinnacle of people hating you was during Battle Poll when you threw a huge tantrum because Samus (maybe Cyclops?) got absolutely bodied in their match up.

The hatred rained down was like a god damn meteor shower. Iirc you went on $rk sabbatical after that. Lol

Samus. I didn’t have Cyclops in Battle Poll. I was rocking Samus/Yuna/C. Viper. I threw a huge ass fit about it, though, you’re right.

Edit: I wanted to run Cyclops the next year. I remember now that my planned team was Samus (L)/Cyclops/Arbiter.

so the reason why you were gone for so many years was because wiz himself perma banned you stuart? what did you do to get perma banned again?
oh and then when perma bans got lifted you resurrected your account. i see. but in between that death into resurrection, did you create a alternate account?

I never really left? I took a small sabbatical but came back like 2 months later.

TL;DR of it is I went to war with Wiz on how he was running $RK and how shitty it was that he was taking advantage of the community like he was. I “lost”. Several people got banned when they told Wiz he was being shitty for banning me. They didn’t get IP banned like I did though. One of those friendly “don’t do it again” kind of bans.

Correct. Preppy rescued me from the Shadow Realm when everyone thought $RK was going away so people who were IP banned like me could say their good byes and tell stories around the camp fire.

Yes. However
