Someone said this the other day and I was just stunned Fark was still going. Don’t even remember how I first found it but I’m happy it brought me here.

Yeah like a couple of days ago something got into my head to check if ebaumsworld still existed, was shocked to see it did, then checked fark and was blown away it existed too. I joke that probably somebody on their end thought the same about SomethingAwful too, which feels sadly ironic now.

I've been involved in a number of cults, both as a leader and a follower.

You have more fun as a follower. But you make more money as a leader.

SA going down in flames of irony seems a pretty fitting end to be honest.

Sequels
Main articles: Bloodsport II: The Next Kumite, Bloodsport III, and Bloodsport 4: The Dark Kumite
Since its release, Bloodsport has become a cult film.[14] It was followed by three direct-to-video sequels: Bloodsport II: The Next Kumite (1996), Bloodsport III (1997) and Bloodsport 4: The Dark Kumite (1999). Jean-Claude Van Damme did not appear in any of the sequels.

3 has the John Wick director
4 was filmed in a prison and had real inmates as extras

Bloodsport 2 has better fight scenes than bloodsport. Fight me.


Kickboxer is a cheap fuckin ripoff of bloodsport (both series started with jvcd, both had another actor take over the series and did 2 as the same character) but kickboxer has a better introduction to the main villain than bloodsport. Fight me.

Bloodsport 3 is very cheap and terrible. The main bad guy barely moves when he fights and just puffs his chest. Like if vinnie mac booked the kumite.

What context is that? I have no idea what you're talking about, if people were talking about offsites prior to today I don't know where they would've been doing it, and I know nothing about Junpei Hyde's posting in particular as I mostly keep to the MMA/Sumo threads. I've never heard of B&R or tollymain prior to today, so everything I know is what's in the 9 pages of this thread.

If anyone wants a non-discord SA-replacement Bread and Roses was founded earlier this year by goons from C-SPAM and it's been getting thousands of new members over the past day. They already have a few wrestling threads in their sports subforum and they'd probably make a dedicated wrestling subforum if enough wrestlehut people joined

Anyone who wants an invite, just go to https://breadnroses.net/ and register, I will approve, let me know the username you select if it is different.

Also be patient if it takes a little bit, there is a queue I am getting through as quickly as I can.

ETA: Do not post in this thread that you have registered. Do not PM me that you have registered. We are aware, we are working through the registration queue. We appreciate your patience.

Bread N Roses appears to be a popular choice for a wide range of posters from multiple subforums and there's absolutely nothing wrong given the point of this thread for people to be offering up alternatives/safety nets in the eventuality something does happen to SA. Nobody has to join up with any of them if they don't want to, and if they do they don't have to stick around either. People are looking for places where they can keep in touch with their buddies, that's the most important thing for a lot of people at the moment which is why so many discords are being offered around as well: they don't replace the SA experience but they at least let people avoid being left in the dark about where everybody is in a worst case scenario re: these forums.

The only person to be angry at in this situation is Lowtax, for putting the community/forums in this state in the first place.
