Hey cats! My name is Jake and I'm pretty new on the forums. It looks like this is a pretty cool community, and I look forward to getting to know everyone. I live in Atlanta, and I would love to meet people from the forums who live in the area. I will certainly plan on attending this meetup. I have a sizable home console collection, so I'm sure I can come up with something cool to bring.

Hello, Jake.

Welcome to the forums, and also welcome to the Metro Atlanta nerdy gaming community. We have some good folks here in Atlanta and in the Southeast in general.

You are certainly welcome to join us for the big gathering in March, and to bring whatever you want. However, some of us in Atlanta also get together for some local gaming every now and then. Feel free to join us for that too. I'll let you know. Thanks.

Hey man. This gathering is right after my tournament called FINAL ROUND 12. Have you ever heard of it before. This will be my 12 year running this tournament and if you like playing snk games the best in the SE will be attending.:):buttrock: Hope you can make it out. I'm trying to make a thread on here, but I can't right now. :oh_no::scratch:
Welcome from SRK!
Don't worry about the thread thing.
There's a restriction of a few days or ten posts, iirc.
I don't remember to the letter what the rule is because it was into effect after I joined.
You'll get there eventually.

Do you still haunt #srksnk on efnet?

No I don't. I didn't even know about this web-site before! I would have advertised Final Round in here. I wonder if I know this guy from back in the day.:spock: Oh well, i'm here to stay now. Are you coming to Final Round12? It's in 50 days! Most of the best SNK SouthEast players will be there! Other regions will be also.

I have no clue.
I'm in my last class of college right now. So, I'm not even thinking fifty days ahead.
We'll just have to see.

Thanks for the info, but I'm not going to attend since it's so short notice. Also, I'm not any good at fighting games, so I'd just be wasting my time. I guess someone has a real Taito Type X2 SF4 setup that they are bringing?

I'm trying to unite the snk community as a whole! That why I throw my tournaments. To unite the fighting game community. But if ya'll think i'm spamming oh well i'll stop posting in here. I'm just wondering if this is a forums for people to advertize tournaments or just for snk heads that want to compare snk collect's and CIRCLE JERK EACH OTHER!:scratch::annoyed::rolleyes::scratch:

Just wondering why people are hating on me because i'm new to this site. I've been throwing tournaments for over 12 years! I'm the only major tournament organizer that runs snk games during my tournament. No one does that. dark geese is starting his tournament series now and he plans on making snk the headliners! If you don't support me then try to support dark geese event. Forever snk has taken a back seat to more popular games like capcom and namco. All i'm trying to do is give the snk people a chance to show why their games matter also in the fighting game community!

I've been on this website for a couple of days, but i'm starting to see some things that I don't like. I'm doing nothing but trying to uplift the snk community in the mainstream fighting game community and all i've been greeted with his HATE and TROLLING!:scratch::very_ang::shame: I hope these are just the random few that are trolling me and it doesn't represent the majority of this neogeo.com community.:annoyed: If it does represent the majority of players in this community then maybe I was wrong in coming on these forums in the 1st place.

Maybe ya'll would rather just stay under the radar and circle jeck each other over who has the best snk collect in their moms basement!:shame: Erasing all of my post about my tournament was childish and stupid! I'm trying to promote snk game into mainstream fighting community and you guys want to erase my post. WOW!! I love snk games and other fighting game communities don't respect snk. I give the snk players a venue to showcase their skills every year and I recieve hate on these threads by the mods? I don't understand that at all.

I don't understand why a PERSON that mods a snk website would erase someone's post about a huge tournament on the EC that actually has SNK games to be played!!!!! If I could make a thread for my tournament I would so I wouldn't post in every east coast thread to get the word out, but my tournament is only 48 days away and I know we are in a depression so if people heard about it and wanted to come out it would give them enough chance to save money to attend. Maybe you guys saw my post as spamming, but how else am I suppose to get the word out if I can't make a thread?!?!?!?!?!?

Anyways I think I won't advertise about my tournament in any other thread beside the Ga. thread. Since it's obvious that the rest of this community doesn't care about showing the rest of the fighting game community WHY we love snk games so much!

Cool man I might be free this weekend. If you guys want to meet up this weekend I can gather my snk friends and we can have a good old fashion battle royal!!!:buttrock: I work a lot so if you could just post in this thread when you guys plan on getting together then I will pm you my #. My name is Larry if you wanted to know.

P.S.-are you selling some of your collection or just putting it on display? I was looking for an A2 green board. I have A3 (jap), 3S(cp3 cd), SuperTurbo (Jap) 2 american cab's. One is a showcase cab. Also do you play RBS? That's my favorite snk fighter! :buttrock:

Hello, Everybody.

I am considering reschuling this gathering back a few weeks, say, April 18, 2009. I was thinking of doing so for two reasons. First, for the members who want to come pick up their Egret cabs at the gathering, there is no way the container will be here by March 21, 2009, and this will give us time to receive the container. Second, since Shinblanka's Final Round is the weekend before the date the gathering is currently set for, it might be more inconvenient for those who want to go to that gathering and then to come back the very next weekend for this one. Thus, spacing it out might be a good idea.

Before I do, I want to get everyone's opinion on it. Please post here, or let me know what you think. Thanks.

Pushing it back would actually probably work pretty well for me.
