Jesus Christ it’s good to be back for one last hurrah
the greatest post I remember from Missing Person is when he told that story of how he became gay and taking it in the ass for the first time
good times
Dunno if the forums will be saved or not, so wanted to say what I can while I can.
SRK has always been important to me on some level or another. While an old issue of GamePro magazine was my first exposure to the idea that fighting games had any kind of depth to them, SRK was where I really started to learn and improve. It will be a tremendous loss if this forum disappears, it’s part of our history and still a valuable resource. I’d be willing to toss in a few bucks a month to protect that.
I’ve made some good friends here, learned some good life lessons either from SRK directly or from our general circle. Some good things, some bad things. Just sorry I wasn’t able to contribute better to it lately… those of you who saw me take a turn for the worst in my behavior have my apologies. Declining life circumstances, combined with what was a rather serious illness (that went undiagnosed until it was almost fatal) brought out the worst in me. Turns out it’s really easy to act like a jerk when there is literally something physically affecting your head. Got it diagnosed and removed, but I retain some responsibility for the stuff I said and did back then anyway.
That said, I love that SRK gave me the chance at what I thought was my dream shot. Did a bit of writing for them, had tremendous fun with it. Lots of late nights, lots of good feelings from it. I’m so glad that fighting games got to experience a resurgence with SF4 and the surrounding flood of games, some good and some not so good , and we got to be here for it.
If SRK, or at least the forums (which is really the core of it all at this point) go away, I’d like to offer one last thought: Continue your love for fighting games. There are so many to enjoy. From Super Turbo to Blazblue, Tekken, to Gundam Versus and King of Fighters, even Divekick, and so much more. You can learn so much from playing different games, lessons in one game will make you realize wholly new ideas in another. Treasure that, and if a game has any genuine merit to it… give it some love. Nobody can devote time to being top-notch at every fighting game, but cherish what you can.
Thank you for some amazing memories, everyone. I’m going to try to get my life back in order to enjoy Cross Tag, Dissidia NT, and a few others; if anyone is interested, if anyone knows good communities for these games, please get in touch. I’d hate to see our community splinter into sub-groups via Discord and so on, but if it must… then I want to come along with at least some of you!

Gonna miss this old place… great discussions, arguments and gdlike threads. Its gonna be weird not browsing the forums in my spare time, gonna miss the shade throws, well placed heston gifs, yellow fever inspired posts with long back asian girls, one piece speculation, geeking out in the transformers/MCU threads among other things…
Well at the end of the month if there is no save or alternative I wish you all the best.

Only 3 resources use now for all cooking related shit:

https://www.americastestkitchen.com/ if you don’t want to pay, you just use the videos,.
All the SF4 stuff got moved to the USF4 subforums I think.
Well this thread is fortunately pointless now :3
IT’S OK, YOU TRIED TO DO A GOOD THING pats shoulder
This should be kept around. A decade down the line, we can look back and have a laugh about that time when SRK was in danger of getting K.O.'d by fucking smash players and furries.
The best part about it was a good portion of the OG community showed up, wouldn’t take shit and rallied the troops so that SRK can save itself :tup
