Default Re: History of keyboard Stepmania pre-KBMP

It focuses on me because it's from my perspective. Almost any account of an event from a single person is going to be biased, so unless you have a team of people that describe the events from a detached perspective it's going to be skewed towards something. Even writers of history textbooks have trouble reducing their bias towards their own nation of origin or residence, for example.

and, it does seem to put BMR down... which is really a bit sad, given not only his history (which Arch does clearly note)... but you neglect to mention all that he did and still does for FFR. for just one example: you've noticed the new layout of FFR, right? guess who did all the graphics for it.
If it seemed like I put BMR down that wasn't the intention at all--I actually meant to emphasize his role. The sim community would likely not exist today if it weren't for BMR.

edit: Yeah. "BMR was the essence of DDRManiaX, and I can't stress enough how much of an influence he had on simfiles. If he had never made simfiles, FFR would be very different than how it is today."

Also, I didn't know that he still did work for FFR, so I apologize. That's pretty incredible.
