Apparently there's a tournament...
As a 9-year vet coming out of retirement (albeit for the 3rd time or so), I'm continuously astounded by the ability of this community to persevere way past what I thought was the heyday of rhythm games. As I scroll through things, it blows my mind that R3 is up and running and fan-f***ing-tastic, we have a level and ranking system that equates to actual playing skill, and we have people that I recognize from 2007 still playing at a high skill level.
I don't think I know anybody that I'm playing against in my division (D4, Lord help me), but I'm ecstatic to see that everything is alive and well on a site that made up an entire summer or two of my high school days that I saw disappear out of nowhere, reappear, and transcend into a modern-era reflection of all of the glory I pretended we had when I was 16. Major props to admins and mods, and many welcomes and thanks to all of the newbies (that are probably going to kick my buttocks in this tourney) for keeping this game up and running. It's been a minute since 0-frame arrows, no triples/quads, hoping your keyboard allowed two keys to be pressed at once, and only having 400ish songs. To the 2003-2006 vets, I acknowledge your eye-roll. Godspeed, ladies and gentlemen, and happy arrow-smashing.

Re: Apparently there's a tournament...
Absolutely agree. The continued existence of the site is always a great little beacon in the corners of the internet I've been in for over 12 years here now. (Soon there will be people here better than me at FFR who weren't even born when I joined)
That there's still actual significant active development (and not just adding songs and basic maintenance) is a tribute to the incredibly hard work done by multiple generations of admins and mods and staff. |

Re: Apparently there's a tournament...
I played a lot in 2007/2008, but only ever made an account in 2014. I wish I had made an account way back when so I could be properly nostalgic about how things used to be. But it's cool to see how people have stuck it out for a decade+ on this site.

Re: Apparently there's a tournament...
It's definitely awesome that a community like this, that has been through so much of a decade, can still thrive. It feels great that whenever I feel I don't belong somewhere I can come back here and feel like home.
