Welcome to Summer! Subscription Giveaway #1 This Saturday!
First off, I want to welcome everyone to summer. How can I tell that it is summer you ask? Not by the hot & humid weather out here in Chicago.. Not the Cicada brood buzzing outside of our windows.. I can tell it is summer because we typically have over 1500 people at any given second on the site at 10:00am in the morning. Even at our lowest traffic point at 4am we still have almost 700 people on playing FFR or chatting. It’s good to see you all enjoying yourself. As everyone finishes up with school, the traffic will intensify even more I am sure.
So I was trying to think of a way to kind of kick off the summer. I came to the conclusion that we would start it off tomorrow afternoon with a new subscription giveaway! Basically, at 12:00 Noon Central Time (1pm Eastern) we are going to be giving away 1 subscription an hour for 6 hours straight! How will we decide the giveways? It’s simple, at the top of each hour we will announce how we will pick the winner.. or.. we will tell you what you need to do in order to try and win the subscription for the next hour. Think of it as a very easy all day “FFR Spontaneous contest”.
What could possibly make this contest any better? Well at the top of each hour, we will be releasing a new song to the subscribers and beta team! So that is 6 songs total that will be released tomorrow. But will we stop there? Nope, You know I am more crazy than that.. At the end of the 6th hour we will release an additional 4 songs to the public! This will bring the new subscriber and public song releases up to a blistering 10 new songs this weekend!
While subscriber songs always flow out to the public eventually in a few weeks, subscribers and beta team members get first play to get on the highscore list and give feedback. Subscribers and beta team members also get access to the subscriber forum to help actively test and form the future of FFR (not to mention beta access to the latest version of FFR). For those who don’t subscribe, you would be surprised at how many threads and posts we have in there now. I could go on and on about the benefits (like discounts in the FFR store and custom titles etc) but I will leave all that for another time. 
/plug
If you guys are interesting in joining us over on the darkside. Here is the link to the subscriber setup area (you must have an FFR username) Thank you if you are considering helping out FFR. All money goes directly to the development and the costs of running the site.
Oh yeah, there is a new public release of FFR coming out on Sunday! It will be released at exactly 8:00am on Sunday central time. I will list the new features at the time of release.
Big thanks from all of us. Welcome to summer!
Cheers,
Synthlight + The June Bugs

Always have somthing hidden in your sleeve. You should think about becoming a magician! No, really… FFR – Freaky Funky Runes (I dunno, or somthing elts catchy).
Posted at 11:58pm on June 8th, 2007

Posted at 12:17am on June 9th, 2007
Totally cool. Thanks.
Posted at 12:30am on June 9th, 2007
I just bought a year u should too
Posted at 12:34am on June 9th, 2007
man… I wish I had a checking account or something… I would have bought a subscription a long time ago… Then again, I wish my internet connection wasn’t so crappy, then I could play without my god damned computer skipping all over the place. That’s how my rank got from 12300 to almost 13500.
It pisses me off incredibly. does anyone know of a way to fix this, by the way?
Posted at 12:34am on June 9th, 2007
If you do, just post on my wall if you would be so kind. Thanks.
