FFR: Valentines Day Edition
Entries are closed, the votes have been tallied…
And the header that is going to grace FFR on every page for the next 48hrs is FOUR OF THEM!!!
With the variety of entries received being quite unique and interesting, we eventually found a winner with Evnoir, who will receive 40,000 credits and the choice of a pink or purple prochat userbar for a week. Close in second place was Silvuh, who is the lucky recipient of the 10,000 credits and the same prochat userbar choice for 3 days.
Now, we couldn’t just leave it as that because there were so many awesome entries, so in a tie for 3rd we have Cold Kitten and the winner of our last SponCon TheThong, who will given a bonus prize of 5,000 credits each!
All four of these banners will be randomly chosen each time visit a new page until 6am on the 15th, at which point the site will return to its familiar blue theme once more. And to all of the other users that submitted their art, you will be rewarded with 1,000 credits for your efforts, and as promised your names on the front page.
So a big FFR thankyou to Emithith, Magic_V2, Xx{Midnight}xX, Anaru, CammyGoesRawr, sakura080789, cardman2012, zegsigma, supermousie, chrysler, Coolboyrulez0, justin_ator, noname219, iironiic, PrawnSkunk, Deadpony, andy-o24, Jake Ferguson, LaterDays, Mau5, Raining Nails. This contest was a success because of your combined participation, and the manner of support for each others work in the thread was commendable by most. Also, thankyou to Zageron for coding in the header changes for this event!
~nois-or-e and the FFR Staff, wishing you a happy and love-filled Valentines day!
Along with this, I’ve released a new Velocity Engine update with a new noteskin thanks to darkshark. The new engine is called ~Alone~, so enjoy!
Valentines Day SponCon!
~Valentines day~
A day that brings about thoughts of love, togetherness, flowers and candy. So here at FFR we’ve decided to let you guys have a go at making something special to grace the site for this special occassion.
Using the the current logo/header as a size guide, create your very own valentines day themed logo for ffr! Standard sort of rules regarding what material is permitted on the site apply, but the size must remain 362×108 pixels. You may use any programs/medium that you’d like (no .gifs please, static images only), and any colour scheme as long as the site name is still present.
EDIT: ~Entries are now closed~
The entries can all be viewed in this thread.
The winner will have their FFR logo used on EVERY page of the site for the complete span of Valentines day time zones
from 6am on the 13th, through to 6am on the 15th (-12GMT to +12GMT).
On top of that, the winning entry will gain themselves a pink/purple userbar in prochat for 7 days + 40,000 credits!
The runner-up will receive their choice of a pink/purple userbar for 3 days + 10,000 credits!
All other valid entries will receive a small credit prize for their contribution, and their names will appear on the front page when all the winners are announced!! So get designing, dazzle your fellow FFRians with your mad skills and feel the love!

FFR Shirts: To those of you who are wondering about your pre-ordered FFR T-Shirts, there has been a slight delay in the printing process due to a shortage of Anvil brand shirts on their part. The batch of shirts will be sent out Monday the 13th.

Message from CBR
I would like to thank all the artists who sent their tracks over the last few weeks to this compilation of music. I never thought we would receive the amount of submissions from all these talented and diverse artists on FFR, but to my surprise the community was very involved and active which I believe foreshadows greater things to come. With the advent of the official FFR Label artists and listeners alike can expect a great medium to hear new material and be heard.
Expect more releases in the near future and, most of all, enjoy!
P.S. Feel free to step any of the songs on this release for FFR!
re: Official FFR Label
The focus of the development team has been elsewhere in very important places for the last month, so this idea has not gained much ground. However, if there is enough support for this project then the team will attempt to give it a little more attention. For more information please visit the thread.
(Don’t be afraid to post your ideas, criticisms, or voice your support!)

Longtime FFR user zajac‘s label Low Pass Records is releasing their album, the LPR001 Compilation LP, today. What’s more, FFR has been granted blanket permission to use songs off his label in the game… and what better way to celebrate the release of a new album here on FFR than to step the songs!
The selection of files is on the easier end, so that everyone who wishes to can have the chance to smash some keys to the sexy bass on these tracks.

The artists featured on the full album include Evan Gamble Lewis (of Speaker Tweakerz), Keoki, Halo Nova, Sidedraft, Crimes!, Dr. Ozi, KLRGRM, Bodie, Decibel Nation, Myth Of Unity, Milla, Shwon, Spastik, Stereo Company, Weekend Collision, and Tha Twitchaz… you can head over to www.beatport.com to purchase the album and enjoy the whole lineup of artists bringing the amplitude to your subwoofers.

Those who follow the FFR community closely might notice that Milla, artist of Tron From Hell, is actually well-known FFR user midnghtraver. Other artists on the LP also originated right here on FFR- if you’re looking to show off your own music, or get some tips from artists such as these, look no further than FFR’s Musician’s Jungle Gym forum.
But wait, that’s not it! LPR001 has come out today, but there’s more in store- LPR002 will be out February 9th, and LPR003 will be released on February 23rd. So get hyped for more good music to come!

FFR T-Shirt Preorders
Some FFR users get excited at the thought of owning an FFR T-Shirt. Those of you who are tired of your pre-2009 shirts, fear not! Your wishes, hopes, and dreams of having something new to show off will all be satisfied. Multiplayer moderator and FFRtist (FFR artist, get it? Yeah, me neither.) darkshark has brought you guys a work he calls “Arrow Chaos”:
Now, I don’t know about you, but I’d sport that shirt anytime I had the chance. If you were one of the six users who managed to take out every single person in your path during the 6th Official FFR Tournament (alternatively: if your name is takumi000, fenderg, rayword45, YOSHl, Choofers, or DossarLX ODI), you’ll be receiving this shirt for free; the man who created these shirts will be contacting you about your prize. For the rest of you who can’t keysmash quite as well as these users, you guys have a chance to save a little bit of money by pre-ordering the shirt. Here are the advantages to pre-ordering this shirt:
$1.00 off discount on the shirt ($18.99 USD)
Free shipping
Free shipping insurance
Free tracking information
Your shirt arrives before anyone elses!
Pre-orders are now being taken for this smexy shirt, but hurry – shirts will be at this discounted rate for a week! Forget your bills, forget your food expenses, you can afford to spend $19 out of that precious looking 20 dollar bill to buy this new shirt. GET IT NOW.
darkshark would also like to point out that this will be a very limited run of shirts, and pre-ordering them is the only way to guarantee yourself a shirt. Once he is out of shirts there will not be a second batch of them!
