The vibrating age (2008) was definitely what made me continue playing this game. This included people such as:
- Eliazzen (an example is

- Henkz (unfortunately this guy removed his youtube account)
- Sakish/Isaac (I'm never going to forget
this video, skip to 1:26)
- Xx{neon}xX (like henkz, removed his youtube account)
Then you also had other cool guys at the time, such as:
- Staiain
- Musikkspill community, and several others I talked to on AIM
If there's one single score that made me continue, it was my Jackhammer Madness AAA. Granted it took a shitload of luck and it's never happening again -- that was basically the most influential score I've ever gotten. Whether or not it's my best one, that is debatable
After the vibrating age, it was about close friends. Some old friends left, such as Xx{neon}xX. While there were still those like Staiain, there were more members I started talking to, such as:
- Plan_B
- qqwref
- i love you/Rebound
- DF, AIM buddies, and so on
When I actually went on my FC mission because of all the badgering about me getting into competitive FFR, that was shortly initiated after xXAll-ProXx told me to give it a shot.
Even then, a lot of improvement was self-motivated. I don't have to explain the amount of crap I received years ago, haha
