DDR Online Community

DDROC is fun. I just joined and I like it already!
I put in Japanese Pop, House, Rave, and Techno as my favorite genres because I couldn't decide on one.

---

Oh why did I forget my password on DDROC?

Poor Pandy... I'm now a contributing member of the community, but I don't know what to put for what my favorite DDR Genre is...

Can't you use the "forgot password?" option?

Hahahaha, they just translated the comments from FFP, AND they posted full size banners....I wonder where they might have gotten those from? LOL

Can't really make that claim, if you view the image itself, those banners are actually four times larger than the native Wii versions.

Check it out:

Ah damn, if those are widened to be on a 256x80 scale, will they look better in Stepmania?

If you have a maximized window, then yeah it would. You would have to resize them to 704x220.

Heh, they are almost big enough to make some custom backgrounds *hint hint*
