Default Re: Stepmania Nostalgia Pack Released!

When I was making this pack I just went by Patashu's definition of "Old School".

Even though what Patashu said is true, there were some old school files that did not follow this guideline so I tried to give out examples of exceptions to the rule indirectly (probably was a mistake on my part for not making it clear but it was just hard to explain it) So lurker, I would love it if you can write out your guidelines on how to make an old school file without it sounding confusing if you will. Definitely would help a lot if I were to do something like this again.
