These are real, tangible boards.
If you are asking as to WHY people use these as opposed to Bemanistyle or DDRFreak or Go-Gaia, well, that's because they FOUND these first.
Also, the kids here seem to be in it for the common goal of healthy living, whereas people from DDRFreak, etc seem to be more in it to get the best PA or work on their FS routine with others.
So hush up, spanky

I'm here because I just got into DDR because of the health aspect, and it seems like a fun game. I'm still waiting for it to arrive. i ordered the ignition pad combo thing, where it comes with a game and a adapter(sp) piece.
besides these boards seem friendly.

I came here because I like joining up on new forums, and because this forum is based on the excerising/health side of DDR, which I am all for!  |

I don't know exactly what you mean by fake but I haven't been here long yet I noticed that everyone talks to everyone. WHERE ELSE CAN YOU FIND THAT? I mean, go to many forums and you feel like an outcast and certain people are worshipped while others are shunned. Not to mention the fact that these boards are useful. Can you go to Go-Gaia and find tips on health as well as other problems? Or any other forums except for those just focused on health and living? No, usually you can not.
I've been to many forums myself, including Gaia where I was ignored by most, and believe me, most are not all that glamorous. When you find a friendly atmosphere along with somewhere that serves an actual purpose besides rambling off your view of some game or earning 'digial dollars' then you should really stick with it, IMO.

I think this is a very nice forum. It seems to be less focused on who can get what score on what really difficult song. That's good for some, and not for others.
Here i think people are into DDR cause its fun and a great way to exercise and be healthy. Also i get the feeling many of us are social "outsiders" in way and realize that supporting each other is more important than showing off how high a score you can get.

First off, let me say that I am really enjoying these boards so far.
As far as why they're calling these boards "fake", I think it's due to the perception that some people have that getupmove.com is somehow a sham site. These people think that since the site is run by RedOctane, it's just a marketing ploy to get people to buy DDR paraphenalia from Red Octane, and therefore it is a sham, insincere, fake, evil, exploitative, and inferior to any other "fan" site. To those poeple I say, yes, it is a marketing ploy, so what? It's not like they're indicating that RedOctane is the only place to buy anything DDR related, otherwise any post that mentions levelsix, BNS, DWI, stepmania, or any other non-redoctane thing would be deleted.
I've been to some of the other sites, and there's good information there, but not a lot fo the discussion is DDR as exercise related. Personally, I don't care how many 10 footers you've AAA'ed. I don't want to discuss how nobody really freestyle's anymore and the arcades are just a bunch of speed steppers. I don't want to discuss the evils of "bar raping". These are the sorts of things I find dominating on the other boards.
So to you DDRXbox, I say "go back to your real boards, and leave us "fakers" here, wallowing in our lameness"
