Massive Update Post 1: Staff Updates
Hello there FFR!
Lately there’s been a lot of changes around FFR and the staff has put together a string of posts to clarify everything that’s been happening recently.
To start, we’re pleased to announce something that might bring a lot of relief to veteran FFR members…
Synthlight has returned to the administration team as the System Administrator!
For those who don’t know, Synthlight is the original creator, founder, and administrator of the Flash Flash Revolution community. He stepped down from the leading role in late 2010, but has been the site’s sole financial support the entire time. We’re all glad to welcome him back to a more active role.
New Staff
There have been a lot of new additions to staff, so how about some front page recognition for them!
Development team:
hi19hi19 has joined the development team as a User Experience designer. No doubt a familiar face to many due to his simfiles and forum presence, hi19hi19 will be leading the process which will determine how you will experience the site: from what you first see, to how you access the profiles or stats, to even determining the layout of the settings menu inside the game engine.
Silvuh has joined the development team as a User Interface designer. User Interface design encompasses all aspects of the visuals you feast your eyes on whenever you use the site or play the game, so we are glad to have Silvuh working to make sure the site looks as good as possible.
foxfire667 has been on the development team for a while, but never received any official announcement. Let’s change that: he is responsible for the beautiful words that make up the majority of the new FAQ page, and will be continuing to work on documentation and feature analysis. Any feature you suggest or the team thinks up first has to pass his scrutiny!
emerald000 is another development team long-timer who never got official recognition. Focusing on mathematics, emerald has worked on all of the metric calculations that drive the statistical back end of the site. From improved representation of ranks to attempted automation of song difficulty, his job is both behind-the-scenes and incredibly important to the team.
Game and Event management:
DossarLX ODI has been promoted to Game Manager. Dossar is one of the finest keysmashers the site has ever seen, as well as being a well-known simfile judge and simfile artist. He has also long been responsible for frame-fixing some of the site’s more difficult files, and we’re pleased to have him officially join the team that keeps the game running smoothly.
Silvuh has also been promoted to Game Manager. Silvuh is known for being a prominent community figure, prolific simfile artist, and experienced simfile judge. With these skills in mind, we’re glad to have Silvuh on the Game Management team as well!
psychoangel691 has been reinstated as the leader of the events team. As TC_Halogen plans to step down from the events team following the conclusion of the 10th Official Tournament, we’re glad to be able to fill the spot with an experienced candidate. psychoangel691 has proven in the past to be a capable events team member, and it’s our pleasure to be welcoming her back as the new events manager.
Finally, while not officially staff, noname219 deserves a shout-out for his work as the FFR Wiki admin. He has been keeping the Wiki updated and current for a while now, and has more than earned his spot on the front page. If you have questions about FFR or facts to add, don’t forget the Wiki as a resource!
Stay tuned for more announcements over the coming weekends.
Also, don’t forget that the ongoing Official Tournament is ramping up in intensity; we will soon determine the top 16 and follow with files to determine the top 8, so be sure to enjoy following this action too!
~hi19hi19, and also Zageron but he totally made me do all the work

This is terrible news, be ready for forums to be down, also, be prepared for the website to go permanently down at christmas, and hum, be prepared for random bans if you insult the profile chat. Fuck you Synthlight, you are shit.
