I love how often this keeps getting said.

 

You guys are so shook by these avatars.  If I had made them any bigger you guys would probably start having seizures.

I never knew how good SRK had it long ago until recently. Yes I signed up here 2 year ago but I STILL took it for granted. Simply put, you're doing God's work 🙏

Because before SRK died and was reborn, people offered up a million things they would do to keep the forums open. They also talked at length about all the different things they wanted back.

 

StuartHayden had a long ass list of things he'd like and he'd pay premium for (on top of a bunch of other people cosigning it). What did we get instead? God forbid we talk about the dropped ball there and the people responsible for it.

 

maybe they could be bigger, maybe not, they feel good right now. Either way its on that long list of random ish that I had no control over, no way to fix and nobody to talk to for all purposes. Always felt ass as a mod to hear the complaints and know I couldn't do anything to help the situation.

The dude literally logged in one time after the transition and then never logged back in until a bit after april to ban me over the April's fool joke.  2 freaking years without logging in but yeah sure whateves.

I would never understand why they removed premium.

With each update to the software we kept losing perks, and then, boom, bye bye premium.

 

I know that part of the reason was because they wanted to make srk kiddy friendly for the 09ers, but man, that shit was one massive error that prompted SRK to go into the toilet steadly with each year.

SRK should have jumped on the Onlyfans bus long ago to replace Premium. It would have solved everything 🙃

I know people are mad with Preppy currently, but I basically blame Wizard for all this shitfuckery. His lazy ass made every wrong decision possible with the forums for years, especially those gigantic ads that we had during the SF4 era that caused some people to leave.

The ads were so goddamn big you couldn't even see the forum posts.

Watson said he was making like $5k a month just from those ads.

Seriously fuck that guy (MrWizard).

I remember that the lardturd started banning people who posted ways to block those adds, lol.

I had everything blocked via scripts, proxies, etc, so never saw them, but knew they were very intrussive

[Foolinfection]

The ads and the complex media bar were like one of the worst things ever. Full screen ads taking up the whole screen and even if you minimized them they would instead literally be invisible.  So you couldn't even click any links properly. 

 

I'm a filthy 09'er, so I can only vaguely remember how SRK once was before the post-SF4 overhaul.  But I remember enough that it was just constantly downgrade after downgrade after downgrade. The site lost all of it's personality a long time ago.

 

 

[Scanman]

I was around since 2007, although my join date was later.

I remember having different "themes" (blue, black, white, and red?), rep bar, moving avatars, the SRK arcade, and.... a lot of funny-ass stuff to read.

[scorp]

All my IRL friends left SRK like 10 years ago. They were surprised I’ve still be using it lol

[Sonero]

I'm working on MegaShock's answer to Evo. Its going to be a 3 day event where we all kick it 'cause none of us are good enough to win a tournament anyways. So we just bring a bunch of casual set ups, drink beer (sodas for Chad and our other sober posters though) all day, have fun for the weekend and then go home.

I first joined when some fighting game players in my University suggested SRK for strategies and to discuss meetups.

 

From 2001 to 2006, I mostly stuck to ATL south section ,fighting games and image mishmash.

Then I moved more into  GD full-time after most of those guys left SRK.

You single-handedly kept image mishmash going for about 5 years lol. Especially the hot asian girl thread.

If all we're gonna do is play games and kick it, might as well find a cheap city.

Do it in Cleveland, we can buy a hotel for the price of a VCR.

[DangerousJ]

Wherever Axeman lives.

He can make pizza for us.

 

In all seriousness, the girl threads had a lot of folks contributing- Shatterstar (RIP), Gimpy, Nobita Kun, The Furious One. 

I think I used to post like 3-4 times in each thread per day.  lol.   

It was such a cool thing to have Avatar request threads with talented foks like YEAH DOOD 120, Orange Cat, 

There was a stick art/template show off thread that was fun.

[Sonero]

See, now we're cooking.

 

Just hit up random city where life is cheap and do it up. Worst that can happen is that they hit up out of the hotel.

Thinking up fun tournaments that I'd like to see. A mystery tournament is a must, I'm thinking a team tournament where you have finish flip cup before whoever is on the stick can start playing...

 

And a smash tournament with all the stage hazards and items on, and the top 8 is just one game with all 8 players. 

[KimuraLOX]

Ahh shit, we got animated avs here? Already 1000x better than SRK 💪🏿

[DangerousJ]

Which weird poster do you like more?

 

Wtf akuma hax or Jion Wansu ?

 

Hax had those goofy viper memes.

Jion just bumps old threads and puts random mk or cvs2 vids in wrong threads.

The real joke is thinking we are stupid enough to think asking Wiz for anything would get anything done. Joey isn't going to do anything that doesn't earn him money plain and simple. We arent stupid Preppy.

Akuma hax posts were like seeing hieroglyphics in a really extensive museum collection; you stare at the first couple you see trying to make sense of it all, but by the third or fourth display you just skip ahead looking for the cafe.

[DarkSakul]

So I started a PC Gaming thread in Tech Talk, mostly as I figure we also get a bunch of questions on upgrades and repair, ect.
And the sort that frequent Tech Talk more than GD would be more incline to answer, but you can still talk about PC games as it's not off topic.

I really didn't want to drag this topic or ruin the good vibes here, but since several people reached out to me on Discord regarding me quitting Megashock and the SFV Lounge server, and the issue happened in this thread, I have to bring it up here to hopefully clarify my position and end this nonsense once and for all.

 

Gonna spoiler it so it doesn't take too much space tho.

 

2nd Spoiler is the TL;DR version. I'm fumbling badly with mobile today. 🤣

 

Spoiler

 

I left over the personal and religious attack @Martian did to me after this post:

 

This was his reply to it:

 

 

As you know, I'm evangelical. This is nothing that I have ever hidden, nor should hide.

On the other hand, while I'm more than happy to give some insight based on a religious person's perspective about things, I do not force my beliefs on anyone, nor like arguing about it because it only ends up in messy situations like this.

 

Sadly, this is not the first time my religion actually turns into a talking point.

 

The first time was quite frankly my mistake.

 

Pertho did a dumb religious joke, I caught feelings over it. It's one thing to dislike a joke and it's another to turn it into a discussion. I went overboard, and later we talked about it, it's all good.

Naturally, since it happened on a public thread, and pretty much everyone in it moved here, I gotta make a public apology over it.

 

The others didn't go as bad, including the one on my birthday thread since the person responsible apologized and it seemed to be an honest mistake.

 

So, considering I usually jump the gun when my religion is brought up in a disrespectful way, I decided to just back off and cool down after what happened and re-read things later.

 

Then I noticed the full weight of Martian's post.

 

Some context is needed for those who don't hang in the SFV Lounge.

 

@AriesWarlock does these history of metal essays frequently. Like, at least once per week.

 

I've never said a word about them.

 

When he posted that one here, I didn't downvote him or added any reactions to it. I just made a quick thoughtless joke to let him know there was a Metal thread here. As I usually do when I'm not serious,  I added a laughing emote at the end.

 

Now that it's established that I didn't censor Aries, let's take a look at Martian.

 

I had no sort of beef with him. Never did. Most of the time I treat everyone with love and respect. Especially in the SFV Lounge.

 

And even if I do get heated with someone, I make a point to not take things to a personal level. I may call you names, but telling someone he's an idiot isn't a personal thing.

 

So let's re-read Martian's post.

 

 

This dude brought up how I talk, how I'm a degenerate, and my religion into the mix. Without any provocation.

 

Naturally, I got jumped over it. Some posts were more malicious, some were less malicious, but I wanted to address the root of the problem. That post.

 

As someone who has been wrestling with depression for a long time now, I've grown to appreciate the moments where I'm genuinely happy.

 

The moving here was one of these. Sure, what happened to Pertho was messed up, but we managed to pull together as a community and support him. We're in a place with great leadership where our voices and opinions matter.

 

What was left of SRK can't even be compared to how great this place is. I was seeing people just spontaneously talk about how nice Megashock is and how there's a whole "good vibes, good times" feel to the place.

 

And that was cut off from me because Martian randomly decided to throw a dagger at my neck.

 

So now I have to say something that honestly should be common sense.

 

In 4/5 years in SRK, my religion only turned into a talking point twice. It's not something I bring up for jokes.

 

Therefore, do not bring up personal topics as points for whatever goofy argument you want to make.

 

This goes for everyone because this time I was in the worse end of it, but it could've been anyone else with any other topic that hits people different.

Hopefully that's the end of that. Really don't wanna drag that mess any longer.

 

Btw, just so I don't double post, y'all can come to Rio for the tournament. Doesn't get any cheaper than a place where your money is worth over 5 times more.

That’s good. Also I notice you said you suffered from depression. I’m sorry to hear that.

 

You sound like my American ex-Mormon friend. He suffers from permanent existential and drug dependent depression cause of his religion, which he thankfully left and has accepted life without it now. But he’s still pretty messed up, the cult left permanent mental scars for him. 
 

I do hope things turn around for you too.
