Song of the Weekly Update :)
Ok, a couple of quick things to cover here. I will get all fancy on you and number them.
1) Song of the week will be going up tonight. It’s location, a secret. 
I will fill in the details as they become available
2) 2 days ago we successfully moved over to the new 1Gbit net connection. This allows us nearly 10 times the bandwidth. As a result you should notice all aspects of FFR loading quicker. Especially when it comes to levels in FFR, SpinItUP and Resonance. Previously we were running on a 100mbit Up/Down. Our IP changed, so if you know anyone having problems trying to access the site (as silly as it sounds) have them reboot their computer.
3) We have added a beta version of realtime chat for each personal profile. By visiting your profile, you activate the chat automatically and anyone visiting your profile will be in your chat as well. This effectively creates 970,000+ chat rooms on FFR. Currently there are no moderator functions but we are planning them for the future.
4) Rickz0rz is nearly finished with his complete rewrite of the Resonance scripts. Once done they will bring incredible compatibility in a variety of situations. Upon completion, we will reconvert all 5000 files again so that it will pick up some that it had not converted in the past. Don’t worry, the high scores will not be erased. After those script rewrites, it will just be a matter of BPM changes that we are waiting for and we should have 100% compatibility. Thank you for the 200+ uploads a week you are giving us in the simfiles section. Remember to keep uploading those simfiles even if they have BPM changes. At some point here we will support them and those sims will be activated. Even if you cannot play them online, you can still download them.
5) Hey! We now have 10x the bandwidth! Give me some suggestions on how to use it! What do you want to see?
6) Our Staff Credits page is nearly complete, it should be released in the next few days. Tasslefoot is working hard to ensure as much data as possible is correct before release.
7) We are working on some cutting edge caching strategies for the site that should hopefully make browsing and accessing data even quicker than it already is.
Wow.. I think that about covers it for now. There has been alot going on this week behind the scenes at FFR.
Again, please send us your suggestions and thanks for being a part of FFR.
Cheers,
Synthlight + Vaio laptop

Will Resonance eventually be able to use BPM changes AND stops?
Posted at 5:30pm on September 5th, 2006
What happened to all the song ranks we got on our profiles????
Posted at 5:30pm on September 5th, 2006
They are related. So yes, once BPM’s are working, so will stops.
Posted at 5:32pm on September 5th, 2006
You stole my laptop.
Posted at 5:59pm on September 5th, 2006
I know what the song is =P
Posted at 6:02pm on September 5th, 2006
tass mentioned a top 100 overall rank list….that might be fun to see. also what if there were a way to change the background? maybe just color or the appearance all together.
Posted at 6:11pm on September 5th, 2006
some time in the future it would be nice to see the FFR shop with new (preferably many) songs
Posted at 6:21pm on September 5th, 2006

Posted at 7:42pm on September 5th, 2006
and as for ideas to use the bandwidth… how about scooting alond 3rd style production…? lol
Posted at 7:45pm on September 5th, 2006
Make it song of the day instead of song of the week. Or find a way to let there be alot more songs added by players, its the only one thing I don’t like about FFR.
Posted at 7:54pm on September 5th, 2006
dsadsadsa… getting permission for songs is EXTREMELY difficult. getting the songs stepped is easier, but still takes a few days at least, normally. basically, we are limited by the number of songs we have available to us to step.
so, if you want to help, get us permission to use more steps. feel free to contact me if you need help with that.
also… i know what the SotW is too.

Thanks for the upgrade man! but if I may…
It would be cool if Resonance had 2-player mode. THE BIGGEST ONLINE ARCADE!!!!!
Posted at 9:42pm on September 5th, 2006
The song isn’t even out yet chill guys
Posted at 10:09pm on September 5th, 2006
how about a few themes that people can choose so they can control how they see the site.
just a thought
Posted at 10:36pm on September 5th, 2006
i think i know what song it is:P they told us where it is but i aint tellin it a “secret”:P who knows mabe you get it now:P
Posted at 10:50pm on September 5th, 2006
Is there a way to get the bar to work more like origanal ddr? its very annoying that with a 10 combo you can practically refil your bar.. makes the game far less challenging. Also maybe a change in the scroll of the arrows. im found of c400 in stepmania and here it always feals slower.. Great job on the upgrade thanks
Posted at 11:42pm on September 5th, 2006
wow thank god. I was starting to think resonance would never be fixed.
Posted at 11:44pm on September 5th, 2006
Well when using firefox, FFR does not load the songs properly. Although it has nothing to do with bandwidth, it would be nice to see it fixed. Also instead of seeing the last ten songs you have played located in your profile, how about links to all of those sorts of things instead. For example to following would be links:
top 100 players
Thanks for all the FFR fun 
My rank
My song ranks
etc…
You get the idea
Posted at 12:05am on September 6th, 2006
I wish I could tell you where _THE_ _SONG_ _IS_ _GOING_ _TO_ _BE_, but that would ru_IN_ the _SECRET_. PS: flashback to max forever

Can’t wait until the new song comes out!
Posted at 2:08am on September 6th, 2006
What about new skins for the site, more songs to buy in the shop (increase it from 5 to 10, for ex.), new skins for the game, and today I saw something on a mall. It was like DDR but with 5 directions (Corners and middle). I played it and it was quite enjoyable, for it allows more diferent and varied steps. I played Beethoven Virus and it was far more difficukt than in FFR.
Posted at 2:19am on September 6th, 2006
AWESOME.
Posted at 5:43am on September 6th, 2006
Damn you guys are the best!
PS Congrats Tass! I see you’re helping us out to make FFR better:)
Posted at 9:10am on September 6th, 2006
Hey synth resonance still glitches after you reload a song.
Will this ever be fixed?
Posted at 9:43am on September 6th, 2006
saintleon what you are referring to is pump it up, we have a machine down at my arcade, and yes it owns ddr =D
Posted at 9:43am on September 6th, 2006
Hurry up and release the new song so I can be sad about not having enough credits.
Posted at 11:06am on September 6th, 2006
Can’t wait for the new song. Even though my PA in FFR is pretty much dead now. Too used to SM now.
Posted at 12:33pm on September 6th, 2006
HAHAHA I PLAYED THE NEW SONG AND IM THE ONLY one that played it. this is awesome. oh and if you dont believe me, i have to say that the song was strange.
Posted at 12:50pm on September 6th, 2006
Holy Crap srangeprogram, awsome, enjoy your #1 stop while you can blazze.
Posted at 12:59pm on September 6th, 2006

Posted at 1:07pm on September 6th, 2006
The game that SaintLeon played is Pump it Up. It’s really fun, but I prefer DDR. I’m going to go look for the new song now. ^_^
Posted at 4:21pm on September 6th, 2006
The Song is Called Pants.
Its long

Posted at 4:22pm on September 6th, 2006

Posted at 4:24pm on September 6th, 2006
NOTE:the 1/8 arrows act as 1/16 arrows and the 1/16 arrows act as 1/32 arrows so be careful
Posted at 6:15pm on September 6th, 2006

Posted at 7:13pm on September 6th, 2006
You guys are so helpless It’s appalling. I really don’t want to see what Shash has done this time either. Also, Synth misspelled Tasselfoot.
P.S. Why hasn’t my sim been accepted?
Posted at 7:36pm on September 6th, 2006
What sim is it silver?

Posted at 8:08pm on September 6th, 2006
that new song is a pain in the rear but it is challenging! =)
Posted at 6:58am on September 7th, 2006
This is cool and I’m really happy, but I’ve been waiting on the different playfields in multiplayer (For some reason I can only play right to left) for months now. Thanks for making this great game FFR Team ^^
Posted at 2:11pm on September 7th, 2006
One thing i miss from the way the site used to be is the fullscreen option…or do you have it already??? maybe im not looking hard enough…Just a suggestion
Posted at 5:41pm on September 7th, 2006
