    The "What Has Everyone Been Up To" Thread

    Site is roughly 23 years old according to Synthlight's account.

    FFR members have come and gone and returned. And left again.

    What have you been up to during your hiatus(es)?

    Change in career? Start a family? Exciting new hobbies?

    Re: The "What Has Everyone Been Up To" Thread

    Cleaning up my GMail inbox. Coming across some old FFR store order updates.

    Black Large FFR All Skill '07 T-Shirt

    No idea where that shirt is - if I still have it.

    FFR Gift Subscription

    Plus this email from a 90-something comment thread dating back to May 28, 2014. Presumably after an FFR Convention somewhere in Canada.

    Starting a new position (Inbound Receiving Clerk) in a Non-Sort Fulfillment Center at Amazon after working at five different delivery stations over six plus years. Finishing university next June.

    edit: I see someone bought rights to https://www.rithum.com/ and made it a Commerce Operations Platform. Fall 2009. What a time to be around Rithum. Only six t-shirts were ever made; not including when I gave artistic permissions to someone else.

                    I dont work at the airlines anymore, I am a full time locksmith. I also took up disc golf during covid and that has been a great outlet for my competitive spirit. Looking forward to 10 more years on this site.

                      Wish I knew how to get into this game. Do you play the 4k version or the like beat map version (idk the name of the files are called)

                      As for me I've been up to a ton since I created this account.

                      Created in 2007 my sophomore year of high school.

                      Graduated college with a degree in Chemistry

                      Worked for a while

                      Started my masters in Chemistry but dropped out because I didn't enjoy Chemistry anymore and switch to some software engineering and data analysis.

                      Moved to Alaska and work as a data analyst out here.

                      I still play this game from time to time and etterna/stepmania (also not sure the difference between the two). I still play xbox - Overwatch/fortnite/Dead By Daylight would be my main games there.

                      I have lost touch with nearly everyone I was friends with on here over the years. I try to leave messages on their profiles when I have the time just incase they come back they can have a little reminder of the good times had on this game.

                          Awesome. Have been a couple times, I'll likely end up living there for some period of my life (wife is from Japan, we've talked about living a chapter on Honsu)

                          Disc golf rules.

                          I ended up getting really busy in highschool and into college pursuing my performing arts career. I'm now a professional dancer, choreographer, educator, and director. Have worked on Broadway, film, tv, with recording artists... I'm really lucky. I miss this community though. Playing this game (and creating note charts) actually informed the way I approach dance and choreography. I can point to several skills learned while playing/creating here that have gotten me work / allowed me to create more compelling work.

                          It also has taught me how beautiful community can be. The fact that all of this existed at all is a wonderful miracle. I have a lot of love for this time in my life.

                          Thanks all. Just know, however big or small your part in this (and whatever's going on in your life), you've been a part of something noteworthy and special. That's worth celebrating.
