Apparently its a money situation. The forums cost an assload to maintain. Problem is that so many fucking decisions are made in backrooms that you can never get a straight answer.
They told the front page staff that it could happen and now I guess they pulled the trigger.
As soon as SF5 looks like its gonna get some life in it, that’s when its over.
I created a SRV Lounge group and linked it to the SRK Page, but man the Facebook setup is janky AF. It really doesn’t seem like a good replacement.
Fuck man, Test Your Might is the only other forum like this I know of, but that’s heavily geared towards NRS.
I guess DBFz officially killed SF.
Exactly this ^^^^
We are on the cusp of a new age in the FGC with SF5AE spearheading us into a glorious new golden age, and THIS IS WHAT THEY DECIDE TO DO?
Open donations! TAKE MA MONAY!
Resident lurker for years, RIP srk
General Discussion is gonna be popping. Y’all better stop being bitches and participate in the best subforum on this site.
We talk about nerfs/buffs, tech, streams, fat asses, big tits, waifus, got to witness LordWilliams sexual awakening, Twinblades evolving into a solid player, have disagreements and talk shit to each other then be laughing about it hrs later, watch Evil Canadian post a bunch of monkey pics, Dime’s long-ass posts, DJ’s knowledge, Daemos Bison worship, Abigail salt, etc. Discussions **never **got dull here. Not even a little bit.
SRK is truly a unique environment that’ll never be replicated. I think of *all *of you as family more so than just fellow fighting game players. I mean that sincerely.
I remember going “hohoho, daaammmmn they threw the axe at doa”. Now SRK picks up the axe too.
Been a long journey for me. I’ll definitely do goodbyes and stuff towards the end of the month. Most likely going to be a discord hermit and lurk twitter as I don’t like anything else.
They need to start a donation drive, i wish they would have made this know before instead of just being like “we closing at the end of the month” it tells me its not something they are really interested in keeping open like that in the 1st place.
That Esports and evo money is too good to them now I guess.
Also sorry but I don’t buy the story about the forums servers being too expensive. I had a pretty active forum for over 10 years on a private server and it costed almost nothing. If forums were as dead as the article suggests (and they are probably less dead than the homepage of SRK) then it would cost even less because you would get servers with less traffic.
So long as you join the Discord. Being a hermit is honestly one of the best things a person can do.
Yes.
The frontpage will die without the forums, and not the other way around.
Wtf. AE hype is ruined. I just realized that I come here everyday for news and fun conversations. I’ll miss you guys
We can’t move into a less expensive server?
I’m gonna miss @“Evil Canadian”'s sarcastic monkey ass. I was hoping we could talk G shit once the character dropped.
sad :sad:
