I'm doing a VERY indepth FAQ about the bar. I realize that "The bar" tends to be a controversial and iffy subject to talk and write about (practically a taboo, if you will), but i'm wondering if you guys would like it or not?

For the past week i've been working on the rough draft and i'm still giving it touch ups. I still need to get pictures of demonstration from my arcade and for reference... then i'm going to focus on my final draft...

If you guys would just be able to give me the "thumbs up"/"all signs point to go" that would be great. Otherwise i don't wanna make something that will inevitably be turned down.

Thanks! nerd.gif

Uh...what exactly would you write about the bar?

For example, if you wrote

Quote:

anywhere in your FAQ, I'd disregard that entire sentence. The bar being "controversial" is the only thing that could be considered a "fact." But it doesn't tell me ANYTHING about the bar. Are you going to talk about how to use it? Wouldn't it just contain "you hold on to it?"

I don't exactly see how an FAQ on the bar would be useful. It wouldn't contain that much helpful information. You say it's going to be "very indepth" but I don't understand how it could be.

For example, I received an "FAQ" on the Game Boy games. It contained minimal amounts of information. "This is the first of 5 mixes. The songs are in monotone. It came with a finger pad."

There were FIVE sentences in this particular "FAQ." All of it was obvious information that would only help someone who had never seen/heard about it before. Anyone who had seen the game could figure out pretty much everything that was in the FAQ.

So you have to ask yourself: is what you're hoping to write about going to have a lot of PERTINENT, USEFUL information?

Optimistically, realistically and logically speaking... yes. I tend to think that everything has a purpose and has depth explinations to them. There is more to a bar than just "you hold on to it".

Hmm, i submitted a document to spiek about "DDR Habits" and it seems it wasn't good enough for the FAQ section.

I wish i could write a fact about the game Amplitude, since there is no FAQ about, and i played it enough to know about it.

Is that possible?

Uh...no. Amplitude has a tangential relation to the website. We'd much rather prefer something DDR related first, and then after that we MAY consider an Amplitude FAQ.

I would like to make a FAQ explaining the different moves in DDR (crossovers, spins, ETC). I already made a draft on it and was wondering if it's ok to make a FAQ explaining the moves to continue to finishing the FAQ. Thanks.

You should have been contacted by Rychan, since that's who you originally submitted it to.

The PM you sent me is dated November 3rd. The above post is dated November 4th.

Be patient. We have to post it in the contributor forum and then vote on it. It will take a minimum of 7 days.

It only says closed because if it was open then anyone could join without contributing. Because it's closed you have to be added manually after your submission gets accepted.
