Those are cool stories. I actually read all of it. I once saw a video of people doing a DDR competition, thought it was wicked awesome, and one day saw someone playing this at my school. I took down the site (this is barely over a month ago) and have been addicted ever since. Relative to some of your stories I think I've progressed really rapidly. Some of you probably saw my best accomplishments post as well as my FC Chart. I think everyone should fill out one of those...
I do remember when Arch was banned, and I remember him coming back. Although I don't remember what he was banned for...anybody know?...
Heh heh he was banned for being arrogant and insulting newbs, things like that. Synth gave him like 5 warnings. It's funny, go way back on Synth's post count and look and you'll find things like
About two summers ago, I became an very active member of the DDRFreak forums, when I wasnt on the forums, I was either playing CS or Stepamania/Beatmania. So, a month or so passed when I noticed a new post called "Flash Flash Revolution". Curious, I checked it out. It was a major disappointment, for it wasnt this site, but the newgrounds 'FFR' (and for those of you who havent played it...you are lucky). So about another month passed, and a new thread came up called Flash Flash Revolution. Thinking it was probably the same newgrounds flash game...or something to do with Disco (how I got that idea is beyond me), I ignored it. But after about a day or so, I caved in and played checked it out.
Wow, was all I could say. I was so impressed. The first song I played was Story of Snowman and Sunshine Girl. I asked Synthlight if he would be willing to allow some of my songs on the game. He respond "Yeah sure" or something of that sort. I gave the link to all my friends...blah blah blah.
Then, while bored at a LAN party, I decided to go play some FFR. But I didnt get the usual plain black page...but an actually website. So I exited and tried again thinking I got the address wrong. Nope, same site. I thought FFR was gone....but then I realized "Hey! This is FFR". I registered that same day.
The rest is pretty well explained by the other stories. I just thought, since I have been around since day two (or three), I'd tell the beginning.
I can't remember the date of the first radio show I did..but it was with Sashcat...we did a couple of them..and I wish now that I recorded them...
But it was funny..because the first one only had 10 or so listeners...then 20...and now it gets up to 50-60 people. ...
I also remember when I first found the site and talked to Synthlight... about putting up dendrite..and then he messaged me about making a short edit because he put it on his playlist and couldn't stop listening to it even after an hour straight.
Really.. that was the first time I ever got any sort of compliment on that level for my music., and i think that is why I remember the moment so well.
The orange background was really cool.

But yeah, I remember when dendrite came out. It was about the time I discovered the magic of Aphex Twin, and Dendrite reminded me so much of his style. I kept listening to it over and over.
Hey freak. I know you live in toronto so you must have heard of pacific mall.. the mall thats 120% asian. Its on Steels and kenedy. If you have the money / want ddr extreme go there. there are more then a few places you can get your ps2 modded ($100 - $150 depending where u go. if you are interested let me know) and usually you get a few games with it. Since you have a pad and no game i suggest going and getting your ps2 modded. for the price of 2 mediocre games you get a mod chip and 3 dvd games. i know this sounds like an add.. but its what i did. I have a connection at the mall. i get free games when i bring some1 to get thier ps2 modded.. so that place im connected with is a good one. its $100 and 3 games. its called fun desk (engrish w00t) yea so check it out with some friends or your parents. even if you are just going to look , the arecade on the top floor has every bemani game

Jello that's extremely ironic you brought that up cause I was talking to one of my friends, and we decided that we were going to go there and do just that.
Now that you've said that though I've heard the same story from two different sources so it must be true.
Course getting there will take a while cause it's in North-East Toronto and I'm in the western Toronto...
I came here in early may but for some reason never joined the forums until september. I have no idea why I never joined O_o anyway.. I was hooked form the start. I remember my friend showing me the site and he played terror form beyond, he did fairly well then I tried and totally died the whole way. its kinda funny now that I am like 2x better than he is and he still plays as much as I do.
