I’ll never forget joo chibi EVER.
it was a fun ride … rip forums 
Wow this is SAD!!!
I wish this place stayed online for ever…
Reddit sucks.
Shout out to the late, umvc3 OTT. Had some great time there.
Would really miss hitting up the wrestling and DBS thread. Became a part of my routine and really enjoy all the guys there and in gd in general.
Smh srk dying too young, we ain’t even 27 yet. This was one the realest place I’ve seen online.
I really hope something could be worked out before the end. Pateron or something might just be what was needed.
I mean shitty ass youtubers get more through that, shouldn’t be too hard.
Stay free ._.
I was never really active here but lurked a lot, read a lot.
The news about the forums getting closed, and that without any attempts to fundraise an amount of money needed to keep them “alive” is very sad.
The wiki’s out there, the reddit threads, discord channels and videos on yt are great and all but they are a different kind of communication and content that can’t replace this forum.
I’ve wasted a lot of hours on these boards. Wish I had found it earlier than I did.
You’ll be missed SRK.
fistbump
Holy fuck is that uber Johnson of the johnson bros?!?! I remember he posted way back in gd in like 2005, had to get rides to tourneys w his mom, his mom told other boys to stop making fun of him, and iirc snake rekt him in cvs2
Oh my god what a gem of a thread thank you for sharing
Anyone willing to make a Discord for this, or has that already been done and will do nothing but prolong the inevitable?
These forums were my only window into the FGC for years. Without them, I wouldn’t be where I am, and I wouldn’t be who I am, today.
So many histories, so many stories, so many accounts, and so many B&B’s. It’s been an amazing time, SRK forums.
Fuck you, 09er.
SRK shaped up the FGC, dont care what anyone says.
It was nice chattin with everyone.
DO IT.
Thanks 4 everything. It was great.
Close this thread. SRK is not a place, we are SRK and where we go the story continues.
We may just need a new host that’s all.

OK back in 2001/02 I really got into 3S and was trying to look for competitive videos as I had read all gamefaqs guides and combos (lol). With no YouTube and having Yahoo as my ally, I found Game Newton videos and Family Fun Arcade (Cali). Obviously trying to find anything on Japan at that time was hard cause it was in japanese so I went and tried to look for more FFA videos. I found Frankie3S, Pyrolee, Victoly, Amir, Alex Valle, Combofiend etc videos and at the same time, found about SRK. From that moment on, I found a place that not only gathered all my nerdy hobbies but fellas around my age that had grown up with the same sorta things (music, toys, cartoons, etc). I hope a solution comes from all this but I wanna thank all for the memories, laughs and “discussions”.
I’m probably going to get pilloried for this, but since the forums are going the way of the dodo, fuck it. I don’t want to regret having not said it.
I joined SRK just shy of eleven years ago under my various ‘Lobelia’ usernames because I wanted people to play 3rd Strike with. Nobody (but nobody) in my local or state scene liked me because I was an obnoxious little shit and had no idea how to act or conduct myself socially. I was also really, really vocal about being transgender without actually taking any action toward a transition or even knowing how. I didn’t exactly do the demographic as a whole any favors in the FGC, even though I thought I was some kind of fucking activist at the time. I still wasn’t well-liked when I stopped posting regularly around 2011/2012 or so. My reputation seems to mostly be neutral now.
What I wasn’t as vocal about then is that as annoying, abrasive, and even outright toxic as I was, it got me noticed by someone who ended up letting me live with her for bit (I’ll avoid naming her specifically just for her privacy’s sake). She and I lived together from 2008 to 2013, and she helped me very, very slowly become something vaguely resembling an adult. We bonded over fighting games, and upon moving in with her I made a number of friends under similar circumstances. My confidence grew, and by 2015 I’d actually started hormone therapy, surgical consultation, and psychological therapy, all of which I desperately needed.
I’m turning thirty this year. My name and gender are where I want them to be on a legal basis. I have a stable life, a lovely girlfriend, and the sweetest tits I’ve ever seen in my life. All of that success-- all of it– can be traced back to all the stupid shit I said and all the mistakes that I made on this website. I made friends, enemies, and stories here that made me the woman I am today, maybe more so than any community of which I’ve ever been a part. If you read this and recognize the username, you might not have much positive to say about me, but I love myself right now, and I don’t know that I still would if I hadn’t come into my own right here.
Thank you, SRK.
I fuckin’ knew it.
The end of an era… I have fond memories though, from Battle Polls to hosting MvC dlc polls… It was a great ride over the years people
SRK changing lives!
Good shit.
