That general chat thread is missed! Not only did it connect other SF players to discuss Street Fighter, Capcom, and anything else in life, it also built friendships and maintained an excellent atmosphere throughout its tenure--but with it getting locked multiple times and what seems to be a final lock, it looks like its done for.

I'm hoping we get it back and it stays for good, I mean if it weren't for that thread I wouldn't have made the new friends I still maintain contact with, wouldn't have gotten helped when I traveled to an event within their area out of FL, and the list can go on.

It was special and I know those who wear active felt the same way. I mean I know for one that I didn't do it for points, because it can be easy to see how that is a possible reason since posts were continuous. If that was one of the main reason then I would even approve some system where they deactivate the point system, at least for me since I don't really care about all the extra, if only to keep that thread.

That can't be the reason but you never know. The only thing I do know is that I love that thread and I'm gonna hope it does come back. Sure I can post in other threads but it's not the same. The WWCR thread is what draws me the most back to this site. I'm still going to be active but not as much because it was that thread where I posted the most and stuck around because of it. It just sucks to see it not there at all anymore.
