More updates
Hey,
We just upgraded the CMS that powers our main page… had a few minutes where the site didn’t work (and a few minutes with our old theme) but we’re back up and running.
I already notice a few things that are missing from the theme, but we will get those restored asap. If there is anything glaring that was caused by this update (and not something that was already broken), let me know.

Upgrading…
Howdy,
I’m going to be doing some upgrades over the next hour. Â You may see things looking funky. Â If that’s the case, don’t worry, it will be resolved soon.
Thanks,
LD
Maintenance Update
We rebooted into a new kernel tonight so that we could take care of some additional functionality on the server side. As the hours go by, more and more functionality is coming back thanks to 3 specific people digging into the code (say hello guys!). We are rapidly adding in new staff and we have had countless offers to help with all the work ahead. Thank you again everyone for your support.
Have you checked out the changelog yet? If not, you should. We are detailing the bug fixes as they happen.
Much more to come in the next few days. Multiplayer and chats are right around the corner.
Cheers,
Synthlight
One Word. Yikes.
Following a year of intense rise and then nearly complete destruction of FFR, I have worked tirelessly for many months to re-wire and re-structure FFR so that it could once again promote rhythm gaming. This is without a doubt a work in progress but I am re-launching FFR with the full intent of cutting out the corporate bullsh*t, righting wrongs and helping to preserve the community that was our family for many years. It’s been a crazy 1 1/2 years for sure.
There is still an incredible amount of work to be done and we are aware so many pages still need rewiring but we will get to those as they are found. Currently multiplayer is still being rewritten to work in the new system along with the simfiles section. Most profiles should work but going to your own profile may present a problem. If you find any broken pages, feel free to respond here to this news story and post them.
I will no doubt post more on the history, what I have been up to and what we have planned over the coming week. I owe this to all of you. This isn’t a test.
Cheers,
Synthlight
What’s changed?
A lot of the time on FFR, we’ll update something or add something, and it doesn’t necessarily warrant it’s own front page post. We want you to be able to see what we add though, so today I’m introducing the Change Log. This page will show when we fix something, release something new, or add a song to the game. Over the next few days this page will be updated with some of the goodies we’ve been working on. If you think there should be another category added to that page, let me know 
Few house keeping notes while I have you all here:
Newvember: Songs have been added through the end of November, and we’ll be extending it through the first week in December so you all have 30 new songs!
Forums: They are back up and running!
We’ll keep you up to date as things come up!

Oh no! Herbert the Hamster is tired!
So it appears the Hamster that powers the forums, Herbert, has taken ill… He hasn’t been in his wheel cranking the servers so the forums have been down for a few days.
We’re trying to work on recovering the forums, so please bare with us. It might take a few days, but we’ll be back up and running in no time.
Meanwhile, NSane and I will keep on adding songs to the Newvember song release event, as well as a special beta treat for our subscribers.
We’ll keep you updated as we make progress.

For those who think things have been quiet around here, prepared to wake up and here the noise! NSane and myself have gotten together and compiled an event for November SO BIG, we had to rename the month!
Newvember as we’re calling it is a song release event where we release a song every day for the rest of the month! This event started a week ago, so there’s already a handful of songs in the game for you to play.

We will continue to update this post with the songs as they are released. We hope you enjoy the event, and everything else me and NSane have planned for the coming months on FFR!
“We ain’t going anywhere…”
How do YOU compare?
Ever wanted to see how you compare to your friends on FFR? You could always just look at your level rank, ask your buddy to send you theirs… but that’s a hassel! Wouldn’t it be awesome if there were a way to compare your stats to a friends?
Now that the corny intro is out of the way, I’m very happy to announce the release of the first tool in the /tools series… levelrank compare! Just head on over to that page, type in the username of a friend, and you’ll instantly be able to see who has a better score on every level in the game!
This is just one of the many tools that have been in development, and we’re very happy to release this to the whole site today! Keep checking back for more tools to make your FFR expirence even awesomer…
