Stepmania Stepfiling Crediting Personal Rules and Guidlines

This blog is the ONLY blog I will be writing my method of crediting for step-files and also the fact that this is something that I love to do and I'm to the point where ZIV.com 'asking permission for something' for FREE is BULLSHIT.  Yes I said it, the reason why is because the game is free that means EVERYTHING THAT PERTAINS TO IT IS FREE.  Because I KNOW and believe in this from now on I WILL ONLY CREDIT WITH A THANK YOU TO THE 'USERNAME' OR STEPFILE PACK NAME.  This is an example how I credit:

  • (I thank 'Chewi' (c) for the banner and backgrounds)
  • 'Chewi'

 From now on this is THE ONLY WAY I WILL CREDITING ANY STEP-FILE.  If I take a banner and background I'll credit it with or without permission.  I'm tired of explaining this so I'm going to be updating this and anyone that has a problem with this too bad so sad, the community is kind of dying on me and I'm running out of creative avenues now so I'm doing things MY WAY.

The Crediting Steps thingy: (A2K)

Beginner, Light, Standard, Heavy, Challenge/Oni(updated)

These are my crediting because I'm dedicating this to DDR MAX and DDR EXTREME, and also I'm dedicating this to the old-skool way I love to make my step-files for a contest.  Since I probably might never go to the contest. These things I type so people will remember I created this, and if not I will put (A2K).  All I ask is you can use it as your own as long as you thank me for them, and if you make a challenge mode just credit that by you.  I'm very nice about it.  If you want me to credit it cool.  I make stepfiles for the game more than just the community.  But there are things I believe in that to be honest if you are going to criticize me about it then post a reply here in a form of a question.  I rather if you get you frustration out them throw it in my face

Also about asking for permission you better be able to answer within 2-3 days of me post for the permission for the song or it will be AUTOMATICALLY IN THE MIX.  NO EXCEPTIONS,  If I have to log on to the site just to post a reply to you, your file will be taken without permission also, so make sure you are available all year around because I'm not going to stop and wait for you to get permission, NOT IN MY VOCABULARY. DO NOT ASK TO DELETE A SONG OFF MY MIX because I did or did not ask for permission because it wont happen again.

If it's an official banner from DanceDanceRevolution or an alternative banner it will be included in my crediting journal in full..

WHEN I POST MY CREDITING BLOG LINK AND YOUR NAME(S) AREN'T IN IT PLEASE DO NOT BE OFFENDED OR THROW A FIT OVER IT BECAUSE i ONLY KNOW A SELECT FEW PERSONS IN THE COMMUNITY OF STEP-MANIA.

ALSO IF I PUT A WEBSITE AS CREDIT IT MEANS THE CITATION OF WHERE THE BANNER; BACKGROUND; MP3; WAV; OGG; AVI FILE(S) FOR THE SITE OF WHICH I DOWNLOADED FROM And all the people(usernames) in the community that updated and created alternatives also.

FOR EXAMPLE: This (banner) is from [http://www.zenius-i-vanisher.com]
