In the beginning, there was rec.games.video.arcade.
And lo, the year became 1991 and r.g.v.a. was overrun by demon spawn addicted to SF2, arguing ceaselessly about tactics and who was the best.
These demon spawn were cast out by the r.g.v.a. losers into the pit known as alt.games.sf2
alt.games.sf2 begat Tom and Seth. Tom and Seth fought, but eventually joined forces.
Another site that was around in the early days was the brawl.mindlink.net ftp site ran by David "Zoid" Kirsch. Before there were sites like GameFAQS or Shoryuken.com, it was a great place to get all of the early SF2 FAQs.
Then a bunch of stuff happened, and now there is this wiki.
