So, it's been years since I played this game. And now after seeing it finally back up and running like new again, I came back to play it some more. How dandy!
Anyway, now that I've been back to FFR since 3 years ago, I'd like to see how the community is doing in general.
I don't know if anyone still remembered the "Narutard" dilemma, but if anyone does, I am hoping the community is long gone past this issue. It irritated me down to the bone that such a kind community would look down like that in such a general way.
I still remember FFR and all it's goodies. I missed it, and I missed seeing a full room in the multiplayer FFR chat, I missed all the awesome songs, I missed talking about my AA on Paranoia 270 for DDR Extreme 2 with the PS2 controller (Although I bet someone in the world can AAA it nowadays)
I still remember how I found this place. I used to be a foot player, until I got an ingrown toenail, so I had to use the D-Pad in my PS2 controller to play. That eventually made me improve more ad more. But I could only go so far, as there was no more challenge left for me.
So I thought there would be a DDR fangame. And what do you know, there was! That was Flash Flash Revolution, that I played on the school computers because my computer was crud. My computer was so bad back then, I had to play mini FFR on the lowest quality. So I couldn't properly see chat, even in multiplayer. But I still tried hard, I tried real hard. I slowly improved myself and soon got into the 4 digit ranks of FFR. (My rank now is about 11k, which is a big surprise to me that it hasn't changed over the course of 5 years!)
I used to play FFR, and I tried to go along the forums. I'm not normally the forum kind of guy, I don't talk a lot, because I'm pretty much too shy too. But when I saw a large outbreak of users calling others "Narutard", that's when I had to draw the line. It wasn't fair that ALL fans of the Naruto series were being put down, just because a few of them didn't behave maturely. I myself at that time was a fan of Naruto (Hence the avatar I have right now, and still do) I too did get put down by a few users, but I wonder if someone finally saw the true light of what the community was doing at that time. A few moderators noticed it I believe, but not much else.
That Narutard issue was one of the things that drove me away from the forums personally. But I didn't feel like leaving. I felt like coming back after the issue was resolved, because at the time I didn't know much what to do. So what I did was put my two-cents in, and hoped everyone has learned from their mistake. It's a simple mistake, of course I can forgive it. But even simple mistakes can go a long way, as shown.
Now that I've finally come back to FFR, I wonder how everyone's been doing since I was gone for my incredibly long hiatus. I wonder how the forums in general is feeling, if there's anything special going on right now.
The game has changed it's menu music though, which i half liked. One, I like the old music, and two, I liked the new music, so now I wish i had a choice to pick between them time to time.
