The layers of funnies on this are too good lol

I was stuck in forum limbo because I was too lazy to update my email (still had old hotmail email so couldn’t get password reset). I’m back in there though. Pretty sure I’m not a mod yet, but I guess that’ll change. Especially if certain people aren’t willing to come back because this shit looks like the construct

Construct SRK is still SRK and where I will be. I think a lot of people here came after Vanilla forums first started and there almost no one liked Vanilla either. There was a similar set of people who moved over to some makeshift forum or zetaforum after we went to vanilla. TBH I like what this could potentially look like with some mods and plug ins better than Vanilla. Vanilla had too much of a soft look and reminded me of shit like Penny Arcade.

Another thing people bring up is the no pages, but effectively the pages would only really matter for character discussions which nobody really posts in much anymore any way. You could only go through like 5 pages at a time so you’d have to be someone with literally nothing to do to actually get to page 235 of GD or SFV GD. It wasn’t worth the time and was effectively like a static chat room either way.

Once people figure out how Discourse works and some new plug ins are added to make things more like a forum, it should work. I see that you can add themed backgrounds to the site from looking at other discourses so there will definitely be some ways to jazz it up. The pageless browing although it would be better with pages, technically allows you to much more easily access any part of a thread than you would be able to on Vanilla. Especially since each post has a number and if you remember post numbers can just type them in. Not to mention the fast scroll function.

Things.

  1. Daigo and Tokido was pretty fun to watch. Definitely one of the most emotionally draining sets I have seen. Daigo looked drained and he won. It’s good to see that despite all of this eSports and money flying around, losing an exhibition with no real money attached to it is what brings the most feels.

  2. Whoever is running to Discord just because this shit isn’t optimized yet are huge boobz.

  3. SRK2 is cool and I made an account there, but I probably won’t post there much. Good luck to @bchan009 for creating it and making an alternative for those who are too shellshocked by the changes.

  4. My history is here and I’ve been through every forum software change here. V Bulletin https://www.vbulletin.com/ Xenforo https://marketplace.digitalpoint.com/ Vanilla and now The Construct. Every one of those was molded into something more interesting for people over time.

  5. Sakura is fun

  6. Whoever and all who thought it was the best idea to just shut this shit down (with not prior announcement or coordination with the forum users that made this site) and force people to fight tooth and nail for toilet paper forum software is awesome. You’re great. Awesome. Just shows that the people who kept this site running are so far deep into social media that whatever the fuck can just happen here.

  7. All the top Ibuki players are running to Kolin and Rashid, but that’s cool.

  8. Ya’ll are still boobz for running away to Discord. Yeah @TWINBLADES and @Frost. Super big boobz. Yeah I was there but only to shit chat for a little bit. That’s all it’s good for. And battle lounge discussion. Boobz.

  9. @Evil_Canadian I’m glad you got your OG account back. Rooflemonger is cool, but that’s your TV name for all of the Dragonball Fondlerz

Just like Discord, I could see you replying. It’s gonna be funny now that we can see @dime sitting for 20 minutes with the reply notification flashing as he goes to post a papyrus scroll.

If you couldn’t even wait more than a minute after my post to make another post here, you aren’t ready for SRK2. You know this is the original even if it looks nothing like the original. Those who will go will go, but this is SRK.

Oh and you dare challenge the only person who was man enough to not press ONE key on Discord to switch over to another site? Probably not gonna happen. Evil Canadian was a true lumberjack and waited for this shit to get back and running. I think he’ll stay here for all intents and purposes with some cameos on SRK2 at best (again not knocking SRK2, it’s done well).

Boob

Man i forgot about pre vanilla srk. Then when we swapped to vanilla we got hit with that malware/ad 50/50 set play on the front page.

Edit- dammit not trying to reply to specific people. How do you change it

@hnic_mike Not sure exactly what you’re asking, but you can just scroll to the bottom of the page and hit replay so that way you can post without replying to anyone in specific. The reply thing is cool though as I assume it means if someone does reply to something you said, it’ll show up as a notification. That was something Xenforo used to do that was lost in Vanilla. In Vanilla you have to @/mention someone to give them a notification they you responded. On Xenforo all of the basic replies would show up as notifications also.

If you want to quote someone without replying I think that Discourse staff guy popped in and said that you could just highlight whatever you wanted to quote an click on quote. Funny that Discourse staff came in to shill their functions. Go Discourse

I will adapt to this new host body as well. No matter what it takes!

Can you please be so kind as to sticky to the Story Thread (where pages matter FYI). Although there is a way to have your own personal stickies or something. I haven’t adjusted to this quite yet.

Like @veserius said, Shoryuken Dark seems to work better for me. Fills in that white void a bit better.

@daemos I’ll sticky it for you. As for the pages thing, I’m not even sure if it matters that much really becuase say if I was new and wanted to check out the story thread back in Vanilla, it’s so much work to scroll back through those pages that they might as well not be in pages. Like a system with pages and the search/scroll functions of Discourse would be a great combo to make the pages more viable than they could have been on Vanilla.

SRK is not a forum or a website, SRK is where the SRK people are. It’s about the people, not the forums. And if the majority thinks srk2 is better for the people then so be it.

The software on srk2 is worse than this crap. It looks like a forum hosted by a 12 year old back in the angelfire/geocities days with big ass avatars, long ass signatures with images in them, animated avatars, animated images as a background, and so much wasted white space.

No offense to whoever set it up, it’s just my opinion.

@daemos I forgot I lost my mod powers so I can’t do any stickies. I don’t think any of the SFV Lounge mods are mods right now. Gotta get the stones again.

Last time I checked, SRK is definitely a forum and website. I started going to Evo and watching Evo DVDs because of SRK. It’s both the website and the people in it.

People are people. They give a site life, but if everyone were to move to Facebook, that doesn’t make Facebook SRK. It’s still fucking Facebook. Discord is still Discord if you move all there. SRK2 is still SRK2. The guys in my local scene and elsewhere that used to post on SRK don’t go saying “yeah we’re all here on twitter and instagram, it’s the new SRK”. They’re just doing their own thing in the world of social media.

Just in the last 100 posts we have yourself, Twinblades, Daemos, Torey Beans, ParasiteZ, AriesWarlock, Bea_lank, appo, laxlight, Darc_requiem, DiasFox, Edmund, movvr (LOOL), fengshui, akhos, Sephiroth70007, Veserius, Araragi-kun (not sure if that’s old or new guy), PVL, Trenchcoatjones, HNIC_Mike, Deadpool_Merc, Heat_Sleep, Intuitive2011, pootnannies, stronzolo, OceanMachine, shinbojan, JoeyTones, Mr.Pavy, Saitsu, HeavensCloud, Ouroboros, Bisonator, Evil_Canadian, ZioSerpe, @Jurassic (somebody from before I guess), kylebr, purbeast, brabochoke, darklight, trife88 and fatal error who almost all seem committed to posting here in some fashion.

Maybe everyone else is going to SRK2, but those guys above seem to be doing fine on SRK1. SRK1 Lives. All of the extensions of SRK are extensions. They’re not in the public like the SRK domain is so you wont get new people like your twins or beas suddenly showing up. This is what anyone else new will see first and where they will start. As niche as the SRK forums are, extensions of that historic niche are only going to be even more niche.

Vanilla wasn’t artistic at all either, so SRK2 will grab people since it’s more OG/myspace style with things to look and gives you the bigger avatars from Vanilla. Like any forum though, you can mod/plug in shit so I’ll look forward to how those things change discourse. It would be nice if we’re the first discourse forum with avatars bigger than this google plus shit we have now. Don’t have to be SRK2 huge, but something more prominent would be nice.

For people who like a more minimalist housing to their sites (which is most of social media/new era apps), then something like SRK2 would be too loud.

Well, I am posting more at SRK2 than here, but I will be sticking around here as well, just less so.
I just hope we get pages. Infinite scrolling is for social media and chat clients, not for freaking forums!
