ffr is nearing 10 years of age. How old were you when you joined? What were you doing in your life at the time? Why did you join? How long have you been here?

How old are you now? What are you doing in your life now? Why are you still active on this site?

Re: Older Times-->Now

Well I played FFR back in 2002, but didn't actually join until late 2003. So that means I began playing FFR when I was 14 but joined at 15 years of age.

Back in 2003 I was in grade 9 just doing the usual school things. Found out this site from addictinggames.com in computer class. The rest is pretty much history.

Right now I'm a geologist in-training.

I'm still active on this site because I love the community, the songs, and the files on FFR. All of those factors have to mesh together well.

Re: Older Times-->Now

It was less than 1 month before my 14th birthday :] I was "graduating" middle school and I remember everything about how/why I joined and how I got my username.
A Friday afternoon, I endure one of the most torturous things a teenager goes through; I got braces ;.; my friend came over with donuts as comfort food and spent the night because the next day we had to do a German video project together. On Saturday, she told me about FFR and told me to sign up. When trying to think of a name, I had no clue what to use, so I took a line out of our project script and planted it as my username. Hence, Ich liebe Käse, or ichliebekase the lazy way =D it's now been over 5 years :3

I'm 19 years old now and I'm a stay-at-home mom :] I love my daughter and I met my fiancée Frankie (krunkykai22) on here =D I'm still active because hopefully one day I can show my daughter how her mom and dad met. Also, I just like hanging out here. I've made a lot of friendships and it's just a fun place to be for the most part.

Hmm, typed a story. No one will probably truly care xD oh well :]

Re: Older Times-->Now

I came here because my runescape account got hacked and I had no better games to play at that time. My friend recommended FFR to me since my friend knew my passion towards music. He owned me at virtually every game out there including FFR, so I thought to myself, "Maybe I could beat him at this game if I tried..."
And yeah. Been a member for 3 years, only 1 year total of being really active, but nonetheless, an FFR user for a fairly lengthy period.
What I'm doing now? Educating myself for the future.
Why I'm still active? Obviously because my account hasn't been hacked yet LMAO.

Re: Older Times-->Now

I was about 11 or 12 when I first registered to this site. I was still in middle school and I sucked so hard. I just joined because I wanted to be in a tournament mostly. Right now I am 17 and in high school ready to go to college. I am still here because this game is still fun for me.

Re: Older Times-->Now

1. Age 13/14, Freshman in HS.

2. ~Zero~ and I were looking for a place to download songs from StepMania because the ones from StepMania.com were "too hard". Came here, and after months of lurking the database, played the game.

3. "Why I'm still here?" I talk a few people here still, a lot of people I wish I still felt closer too, socially. I also still do things StepMania related. And as of right now, part-time job until I decide to move in with my GF.

P.s. ~Zero~ has an alt on here that got flamed to shit when he first joined. /secret

And awein, answer your own questions as well. I'm curious now seeing as you made the topic.

Re: Older Times-->Now

KK STORY TIME!

The first time I saw any arrow game on a computer screen was Anime USA in 2006. That was my first anime convention ever(NEVER FORGET <3). I played for like, 10 minutes, but I liked it a lot. But this was the time when GH2 came out. I was playing that more than anything else XD A few months later, I wanted to play again, but my mom said I couldnt download any games on the computer haha. So I used google to see if there was a game i could play without downloading anything, and found FFR by SHEER LUCK. Played for a solid week and stopped haha. Then Otakon '07 came along(second anime convention ever. NEVER FORGET <3). I was rooming with a friend of mine that played Stepmania a lot, and he brought a busted computer to the hotel room for it. I remember watching him play songs, and how FCUKING FAST they were lol. He played index, and I was just watching his hands move like O.O wtf lol. He let me play after him, and the FIRST song I played was the Pokemon Japanese Theme(whatever song pack that was lmao). I got a D lol. I was 16 then.

Played for a few months, stopped for a few months, played for a week, stopped again for about 2 years lul. Got back into FFR December last year, and saw that it was back online! Found that out by luck, too lmao.

Now im 20, and will be 21 in January. Idk why im so obsessed with smashing keys, now.

Re: Older Times--&gt;Now

i joined freshman year of high school. I had been playing for a long time before that but not very seriously. I joined because I met some people from my school that played and was like hmm I know that game... been here since Jan 3rd 2007 so over 4.5 years. I was 14, at that time in my life i was doing nothing with my life. Going to school, barely doing any of the work. So when i joined here I had a lot of free time to play. Now I am 19, going to college for pharmacy and currently looking for a job.... again. I'm still here because I didn't get bored with the game till somewhat recently. SM fills the void when I have the time, and lots of people on here play SM, so I still have a niche here. Also, I have some pretty amazing friends on this site. I love them to death.

Re: Older Times--&gt;Now

ffr is nearing 10 years of age. How old were you when you joined? What were you doing in your life at the time? Why did you join? How long have you been here?

How old are you now? What are you doing in your life now? Why are you still active on this site?

I was 14 when I first joined. I was just graduating 8th grade. I joined because "omg DDR is the best ^_^" and I've been here for approximately 7 years now.

Now, I'm 21, I'm going to school and working both part time. And why am I still active? ...this community is chill.

Re: Older Times--&gt;Now

I joined when I was 13. I was linked here from some DDR guild on Gaia Online. At the time I was super obsessed with Gaia but I slowly got bored of it and migrated over here to FFR. I was in middle school I guess. 7th grade? I joined cause, well, obviously I liked DDR and I found FFR super addicting. I would even play during school on my laptop. Good fun.

So I've been here for like 6 years already I guess. 7 next spring.

And right now.. I just turned 20, I'm not doing much in life except chillin and trollin you guys. Cause it's fun. But I do plan on not coming back eventually, I guess I'm just bored of this community. It's kinda dead really. And I can't stand the stupidity of some people on the forums. And the people who have emotional problems. It's too pathetic for me to continue reading. Makes me want to kill puppies.

I was 15, I think. I was a high school lame student and I really liked rhythm games, that's why I joined. I was a lurker for a year, but started posting on forums and getting involved with the community only in the last year, but I only became ~~~cOoL aNd cHiLL~~~ with this account.

I am now 19, I have a job and I'm still active on this site for the people, and only the people.
